There was a time, not too long ago, when a can opener was just a can opener.
The other day I looked at my grungy, yet still functional electric can opener and decided I wanted to replace it with a newer, sleeker (cleaner) model. It's a couple of decades old and has seen better days - and in some respects I'd like to start with a clean slate when we move into the RV. Thus began my odyssey... and my dilemma.
Nowadays we have choices. Lots and lots of choices. Too many. That's the first problem I'm having.
And, if you buy online there are also differing opinions on which is the best. For every "I love it, it's the best ever" type of review, it seems there are an equal number of "Don't waste your money on this crap" reviews. How do you know which to believe? I mean, I'm only trying to buy a friggin' can opener here! Why does that have to be such a leap of faith???
That's just one thing I'm comparison shopping for... so my problem is much, much bigger than just a can opener. I've already said that I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment... so I wanted one thing to be simple, and it wasn't... That's life in 2012 I guess.
