Supposedly Swing Away was bought out and is cheap crap from China now. The old USA factory makes the good ones under the name ez duz it. I just bought one a few weeks ago and it has opened 3 cans so far. I'll report back in 10 years and let you all know. Make sure to get the black handle one.

EDIT:
After looking at the Amazon page, there are counterfeit ones being sold. So make sure you buy directly with Amazon.com as the seller. I remember reading the comments and being careful when buying mine so hopefully I got a good one.
They're now called "EZ Duz It." I have one, and it's phenomenal.
Admittedly, the name inspires little confidence, but I'm pretty sure I could bludgeon a bison to death with it, and then smoothly open a can o' beans to go with my 900lbs of fresh meat. So, I'm willing to give the toothless illiterate who named it a pass.
Not anymore. They sold the brand and they're being made in China now, and they're shit - crap out of the package, and got even duller very quickly. The EZ-DUZ-IT is, IIRC, made in the old Swing-a-way factory in the US, and it's the bomb. Number one can opener on Amazon right now. Trust me. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0071OUJDQ
There are several dozen threads on this if you use the search bar.
Most people recommend the EZ-DUZ-IT which just looks like a standard can opener to me.
Swing-A-Way can openers used to be good, but their production got outsourced. Buy EZ-DUZ-IT instead, made on the original production line.
EZ-DUZ-IT - look no further
EZ-DUZ-IT. I'm not kidding.
I give kind of strange gifts but this year I'm giving my family can openers in their stockings. They're cheap and made in the USA, and last a long time. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071OUJDQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages01

This gets asked a lot and the general consensus is usually these

EZ-DUZ-IT manual opener
And FWIW I’ve used a few different versions of the OXO openers and they kinda suck.
This one.
If you buy from Amazon, I highly recommend paying the extra few cents (4 cents right now) and make sure you buy one where the seller is Amazon.com (not just fulfilled by Amazon.com) to reduce the chance of getting a counterfeit.
For instance, two "just launched" Amazon sellers are offering the can opener at the cheapest price of $8.87. Your "made in usa" can opener will be shipped from Brazil and Canada. You can see in the product reviews going back three years that counterfeits are a big problem with this product.

Here it is on Amazon for the lazy, still under $10.

Get the new one. The vintage stuff is cool, but make your own vintage stuff.
The point of getting vintage stuff now is that a lot of it is considered high quality. In this case, you have access to the same quality new. The bonus is that you support American folks making your high quality materials. The resale market adds little to the people pressing these things out.
EZ DUZ IT has multiple colors too.
Black
Red
Blue
White
Edit: The black EZ DUZ IT will not help you acheive laser fusion. Thanks /u/PsykoDemun
I'm going assume that you are in a moving out of your parents' house-type situation, so you have clothes, a personal computer, and personal toiletries (shampoo, razor, toothpaste, etc.) already
Bedroom: (Total: $195)
Living room: (Total $640)
Bathroom: (Total:$67)
Kitchen: (Total: $430 + $200 reserved for future + $200 in food = $830)

Leaving you with $165 for your first week's of food!
Swing Aways are made in China now, and aren't as good anymore. By the American version, http://www.amazon.com/EZ-DUZ-IT-Deluxe-Opener-Black-Grips/dp/B0071OUJDQ
Mine works great.
Holy crap, thanks for the heads up! I went and grabbed mine and compared and the one I posted looks like crap. This one looks identical other than the handle color. I'll keep this in mind.
You should add this can opener to your list!
/u/ladyllana gifted this to me and embarrassingly it's totally improved my life! I've always bought dollar tree can openers, and I've never had a nice one. It's crazy how much better your life will be with a nice one! ❤️
I bought this one, EZ-DUZ-IT 3028 Deluxe Can Opener with Grips, and it works great.
Thanks! Is this the same one as a single pack?

I would recommend the EZ-DUZ-IT without reservation for a new can opener, manual or otherwise:
http://www.amazon.com/EZ-DUZ-IT-Deluxe-Opener-Black-Grips/dp/B0071OUJDQ
The blade is sharp and grips the can easily, and it turns like butter due to the huge amount of torque you can generate with the oversized handle.
Actually you don't want to buy the current Swing-A-Way as it is pretty cheaply made. Ez-Duz-It is the can opener you want, made in America, and supposedly its made by the same people who produced the origianal Swing-A-Way
...It's a $5 expense. It's not like you're buying a new car. Go ahead and roll the dice.
Edit: found one on Amazon for $9, 4.8/5 rating with 880 reviews. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0071OUJDQ/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_8CTstb0VQK3DX

EZ DUZ IT - well made and will last you forever. Here's an amazon link.
I bought this one last year. It's easy to use, and built like a tank.
Non-mobile: This is a better option

EZ-DUZ-IT works every time.
EZ-DUZ-IT. Careful about counterfeits though.

Actually, Swing Away was the old name that got bought by a company making cheap can openers. They bought the design and the name but use cheap metal. For the modern equivalent get an EZ-DUZ-IT, which is made in the USA of the same high quality parts (and I think in the same factory) as the old ones.
You need this. http://www.amazon.com/EZ-DUZ-IT-Deluxe-Opener-Black-Grips/dp/B0071OUJDQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1416739882&sr=1-1&keywords=can+opener
Wrath because I SWEAR I am going to chuck a can directly at my fiance if I don't get a functional can opener here soon! (He bought the last one, and he's the one strong enough to use it).
I always keep an EZ-DUZ-IT around for small cans or as a back up. Hasn't failed me yet.
Everyone else has most of the bases covered so here's amazon links if you can't find things at second hand stores/dollar stores/clearance centers.
Storage Containers
Ace Hardware
[Target] (http://www.target.com/p/kerr-1-quart-32-oz-wide-mouth-mason-jar-set-of-12/-/A-14527331)
Rather than getting tupperware get a flat of quart size mason jars. Doesn't spill in transport, works in the freezer, microwave proof without the lid, and doesn't absorb smells or warp with frequent use.
*Alternative is to save glass jars from groceries and wash them for use
Coffee Maker
Get a single cone coffee brewer if you drink coffee. You can buy it on amazon or find it in the coffee section at walmart/target/any grocery really.
Can Opener
Don't buy a can opener at the dollar store or CVS in a bind. Just order this one. I've had it for years with frequent use.
If you have an ikea nearby, they also have a great kitchen section especially for inexpensive flatware sets.
Sorry, the confusion made me screw up my earlier message and contradict myself. I should have said that the EZ-DUZ-IT seems to be the current American-made one. My mistake.
I bought this a month ago and it's great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0071OUJDQ/
Yay! I love contests! :)
Anyways, I need this. Everytime I go grocery shopping, I have to try and keep away from canned goods that require a can opener because mine broke about 2 week ago. I've been looking for a good one near me, but none of the places I've checked seem to carry to them.
Chuck Finley! Thanks for the contest! :)
so is that can opener truly bifl quality?

I am so tired of cheap damned can openers.
http://www.amazon.com/EZ-DUZ-IT-3028-Deluxe-Opener-Grips/dp/B0071OUJDQ
Those kind of can openers can go both ways depending on which way is easier for you to turn. But yes for most people you are correct in the way they move.

Any that are stainless steel should last you a long while. I have this one from Magic Chef: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01LX1OC2Q . The one most recommended on this sub is the EZ-DUZ-IT 3028. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0071OUJDQ
EZ Duz it is what swing a way used to be, still made in USA.
I've had the same experience! I think a big thing is that there is a lot of moisture in your kitchen, and the gears on your can opener are becoming rusty and not spinning right. I've had issues with every can opener until I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/EZ-DUZ-3028-Deluxe-Opener-Grips/dp/B0071OUJDQ
YOU GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE TO DOING THAT TO CANS
They still make the good can openers. They make them in the US with good quality metal. EZ-DUZ-IT. I think they actually bought the old Swing-Away factory.
It is stupid how much better this $10 can opener is every others i've had before.
all of these have bent. they work for about half of a can, takes a bout 5 min, and then it bends and doesnt work anymore. bought this instead. ive had it for a year and a half with no problems. and its made in america.
