What is an "electric can opener"?
An electric can opener is an appliance used to automatically open cans with minimal effort. It typically consists of a motorized base with a cutting mechanism that easily slices through the lid of a can. The user simply places the can on the device, presses a button, and the can opener does the rest, rotating the can and cutting the lid cleanly. Electric can openers are popular for their convenience, especially for those with limited hand strength or for opening large numbers of cans quickly. They are commonly used in homes, restaurants, and kitchens.
