3.0 out of 5 stars Great item, but one problem . . ., July 23, 2009

The earlier reviews are right on target about the solid construction and good looks of the CO100. The reason for the 3-star review: try cleaning it. You need to remove the piercing lever to really get it clean, and to remove the lever you rotate it counter-clockwise from horizontal to full vertical, then pull it out. But the lever is long enough that it sticks up more than an inch above the top of the opener when it's vertical--in other words, you can't remove the lever for cleaning if the opener is mounted flush against the bottom of a cabinet. In fact, after using the longest mounting screws and all of the spacers that came in the box, I still couldn't rotate the lever far enough to remove it. I'm retired and had the time to dismantle the piercing lever and modify the nylon key-mount so that a 45-degree rotation (instead of 90 degrees) will let me remove the lever. But if you don't have that kind of puttering time and patience, you may want to wait until B&D corrects this design glitch. Then it will rate 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Can Opener, May 30, 2009

This is an excellent product, and as the other review states, when installed it "just disappears." Ours replaced the old white B&D SpaceSaver can opener we purchased back in the early 90's. This one looks to last as long. One correction: the actual product dimensions are: 7 1/2" W x 5" H x 6 7/8" D. The other dimensions that are repeatedly shown are the dimensions of the BOX it comes in.

Excellent product - using it, you can appreciate the sturdy construction. After reading the negative reviews, I was hesitant to buy it, but I had owned one before and liked it. I realized that the negative reviews were related to installation, so I made sure to carefully read the reviews and customers' advice. I then carefully read the instructions and examined the product; making sure I knew exactly how it was to be installed with the overhang cabinet. I didn't like the idea of having it sticking out from the face of the cabinet and over my counter (as instructed), so I installed it set back from the overhang. Took my time, making sure that where I wanted it installed, it would still be able to function (open the cover, lift the handle, and use the accessories) before making any holes. It took me less than 20 minutes - slow and patient - the results were worth it - it's exactly where I want it and works perfectly. My advice is to "pretend" to use it while holding it where you want to install it. BTW I also was able to install this by myself. Thanks for all the reviews - I'm sure it saved me a lot of head ache - slow and steady and recheck, recheck, recheck.
