The one in the image actually has a lot of good reviews. It's the Hamilton Beach 76606Z Smooth Touch Can Opener.
I'm not usually one to tout hamilton beach, nor electronic things that sit on countertops, but here I go. This can opener was given to me as a gift. I internally scoffed and rolled my eyes but...it has turned out to be one of my favorite doo hickies in the kitchen. It has lasted me about two years now (far beyond what I was expecting. Every electronic can opener my mother had in the past failed. miserably.) What I love about it is it opens cans on the lip, so it doesn't leave a sharp edge. Also, no straining my wrist. My only only complaint, is that when I need to drain things like tuna, the way it cuts the lids off does not allow the lid to be pressed into the can.
That is all.

I bet this is a great can opener, but I long ago stopped buying can openers that leave dirty sharp-edged lids that like to fall down into the can and into your food.
Instead, I have this guy:
Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch
The only issue is that it's not BIFL. It's an electric can opener, and all of those that I've seen (lately) are only likely to last 8 or 10 years, unlike my mother's electric can opener from 1971 that still works today.
So, anybody know any smooth-edge can openers that are BIFL and hand operated? OXO need not apply.
If your mom doesn't have a non-fussy can opener, check this one out! My parents got this can opener and I would have to say it is by far the best can opener I've used. It runs about $41 on Amazon and I've also seen it a JCPenney and I think Bed, Bath, Beyond. It's so simple to use that you just put the can right under the half-circle metal holding bar thing, you push the lever down with just one finger, and kinda hold around the can lightly to make sure it doesn't fall. It's not messy at all since the blade cuts right under the ridge of the can and doesn't touch the food so you can even put it back on as a lid. I get stupidly excited when I get to use this thing. Mom won't let me take it with me to my new apartment, which makes me sad, but that's how good this thing is. Once I can afford it, I'll be getting one for myself!
