4.0 out of 5 stars Handy Gizmo "can" work well in your kitchen, March 21, 2003

This review is from: Black & Decker GC200 Gizmo Can Opener, White (Kitchen)

We got this gadget three months ago because my wife has limited right hand grasp and can't use a manual can opener. Pros: Our Gizmo has opened many a can since, from small to large. The trick for us is to position the Gizmo on larger cans, turn it on and let it "walk" itself around- smaller cans may have to be held. The charge has lasted for weeks on the average. Cons: Though the blade looks rather cheesy, it has done well so far... the only defect we have noticed is the Gizmo and associated charger's size- they are bulky and don't fit easily into normal kitchen drawers (ergo, four stars). Nonetheless, it is an easy decision for us- the Gizmo stays!

A year-plus later (May 2004,) this Gizmo still works like new, with at least daily use. I like it, and my wife is very pleased with it's easy-to-use functionality and its ergonomic fit in her hand. (Tip: When it begins to run down, we turn it on until it is fully discharged before putting it on its charging base - with NiCd batteries, this will prevent your battery form developing a "false memory" and not charge fully.)

2.0 out of 5 stars Gizmo not for big can's, January 19, 2002

The Gizmo is ok for small can's . But getting it started on a small can is a pain.For a large can it dose not have the power to open them . Part way through it will stop.The Gizmo is a good idea but it needs work. Black & Decker is a good name so i think thay could do it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Well, it worked great...for about 2 months., January 30, 2002

I really liked this opener. While it lasted.
After about 2 months of use, a rivet worked loose so the opener wouldn't grip any can.
I called B&D Customer Service. They gave me an RMA number and said they'd send me a replacement. It only took 6 weeks and two phone calls to get a replacement.
Glad I didn't toss my old hand-cranked opener!
