I have an OXO Good Grips opener, a couple of Swingline handhelds. One is in the bottom of my work bag, in case I don't pay attention to the can I toss in my bag for lunch. I've never had an electric, Mom had one once.
Addie, are you referring to a P-38 or P-51 can opener that servicemen use?
I always keep one or two in my backpacks and B.O.B..
I have an OXO Good Grips manual can opener, which is so much faster than an electric can opener.
The one thing to consider on the "millennials" topic is that many people today tend to eat on the run, so pouches and ring-pull can lids are better suited to that lifestyle.

For the same reason I have a woman dentist. They let the instruments do the work. Men use brute force. I can wear the teeth off a manual can opener in a matter of months.I've never owned one. Why use electricity when you don't have to? (except for people with mobility issues)

The thing I liked best about the electric can opener that I once owned, was the knife sharpener on the back. We currently mostly use a Swing-A-Way, wall mounted can opener. I also have one of their hand held openers.
I forgot. I have several P-38 and P-51's in my camp gear and the survival kit in the truck.
Or... maybe he should let the woman of the house open the cans..Maybe you're doing it wrong.
There was also this style of can opener. I hate to have to use one.

I use a handheld can opener because it is easier for me to clean and store than an electric one.
Eventually, the can opener will go the way of the church key that has a bottle opener on one end and a pointed can punch on the other. I have a couple of them kicking around in the kitchen drawer but I have not needed them in years.
I probably should try tuna or SPAM in a pouch.
I grew up with the one above. I cut myself at least twice.

Every can will have a pull top lid, just give it time.
