I'm a quadriplegic with no hand function, but I can still move my arms. I couldn't find a can opener I could use, but these kind are great! As long as I can lay it on top of the can and put the big button with any part of my hand or wrist I can get the can open and the lid comes off with the can opener leaving no sharp edges to cut myself on. I also just realized that I am using the same battery I've had since I got it! I got a can opener like this about a year ago. I’m a quadriplegic with no hand function, but I can still move my arms.

It was cool the first few times, then it had trouble working. I tried replacing the batteries, but it still didnt work. I went out and bought an old fashioned one and am much happier with my reliable can opener that works EVERYTIME I had a gross one so I threw it away and bought this.
