"I actually don't understand why people have the electric kind, unless it's a commercial kitchen or they have some kind of problem with their hands. Basically, it's one of those items it would never occur to me to buy."
We have one, but I think we got it as a gift. I do find it faster to use than a manual one, and less prone to mishap. That's not enough that I'd run out and buy one if I didn't already own one, but it's been nice occasionally, because I tend to forget to open cans of things until the EXACT moment the stuff in them is needed curing cooking.
