I compared two sets of can openers way back in 2019 and haven’t said much about them since then… but now in 2026 I’m back with a new can opener comparison, testing out three best sellers to see how they stack up. I’ve also got fresh Amazon deals, a Freakin’ 2 vlog, and a flashback to this date 5 years ago.

Let’s dive in!

I put three very different can openers to the test to see which one actually deserves a spot in my kitchen. In this showdown, I compare a classic manual opener, the popular Kitchen Mama hands-free opener, and a Cuisinart electric model to see which one is the easiest to use, the smoothest, and the most reliable. I also have a 5-year can opener follow-up and bonus can-related gadget!

Watch the full test and see which can opener comes out on top.

Don’t have time to watch? You can read my written review here.

This is the #1 Best Selling home audio sound bar on Amazon and it’s currently at the lowest end of its typical range. This usually runs for about $80 but it’s currently going for about $54. If this is the type of upgrade you’re interested in, I’d start here.

If you’ve been looking to take the plunge into an adjustable desk, this is an affordable option that is currently more affordable than usual. Currently under $100 with solid ratings, I’d take a look at this one if you’re in the market.

This combo shower head features two different heads, including a rainfall effect and a handheld option for more versatility. With over 7000 ratings and a solid 4.5 rating, this looks like a viable option.

Rusty Cans: If you store leftover food in an opened can, the exposed metal edge can start to rust in the refrigerator, especially after a day or two. A simple trick is to transfer the leftovers to a glass or plastic container. If you don’t want to do that, at least cover the top with plastic wrap or a reusable silicone lid to keep moisture away from the rim.

Removing Labels: If you want to reuse cans for storage or DIY projects, fill the can with very hot water and let it sit for a few minutes. The heat softens the glue from the inside, and most labels will peel right off with almost no residue.

Over on Freakin’ 2, there’s always something new to watch. In the middle of my latest vlog, I decided to settle an important Easter-season question: Jif vs Reese’s peanut butter eggs. Reese’s has dominated this category for years, but Jif recently entered the game and I had to see how they compare side-by-side. I break down the texture, the peanut butter flavor, and whether the newcomer actually holds its own against the classic. Along the way I also deal with a yard full of weeds, make a quick Wendy’s stop, and go on a rant about “water snobs.”

It was exactly 5 years ago today that I posted my video in which I tested out dumb products with my friend Cathy. We tried everything from snap sunglasses to an umbrella hat to a self-stirring mug. If you never caught this review the first time around, we had a lot of fun trying out these dumb products!
