1.0 out of 5 stars Won't mount under our kitchen cabinet!, November 10, 2007

By	Barry Lawrensen "AV technician in Iowa" (Orange City, IA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We had a 10-year-old Spacemaker Can Opener that we liked. It died recently, and we purchased the less-costly version of this model at the large superstore near our home. I am a handyman (we built our own home) and this new model will NOT mount properly on European-style kitchen cabinets (with a full-overlay door)! I could make a shim to mount it perhaps 3" below the cabinet, but that would be ridiculous. The mounting for this uses four screws through the base of the cabinet, but there are two front screws within 1/2" of the front of the unit. And the lever swings up 1" ABOVE the top of the unit to insert a can. So the front two mounting screws would need to be mounted into the bottom edge of the cabinet door, or the can opener cannot be used! The printed installation instructions do point out to be sure that the can opener is mounted close enough to the front of the cabinet so that the lever will clear the front of the door. But in doing this, the front two screws cannot be used. So it is going back to the store. What is wrong with B&D Engineering?

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst can opener I've ever used!, June 11, 2008

By	D. Hebert (Luling, LA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I remodeled my kitchen I decided to go with black & stainless appliances. It was hard to find an under counter can opener in the colors I wanted and that I thought would match the excellent service my previous B&D spacemaker gave me for over 18 yrs. But when I found this one I thought my luck couldn't get any better. That is until my husband tried to install the thing. None of the holes matched up to the previous spacemaker and because of the handle hitting the bottom of the cabinet door he had to put spacers between the opener and the cabinet which looks unsightly. Then I tried using it. What a nightmare! The cutting element falls off too easily, it's extremely slow when cutting, not only does it not hold up a medium or large can while cutting (if you can even get the can started), it leaves a really dangerous ragged edge on the lid and metal shavings all over the counter when you're finished. Why couldn't B&D just leave well enough alone. If it's not broken, DON'T FIX IT! I want an under counter opener in these colors but this thing is going in the trash. If I could give less than 1 star I would. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black and Decker under cainet can opener, March 11, 2007

By	Julia Little (Fredericksburg, Va.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So far I like this product very much, not as much as my older model, but it is a good product. The can opening action is a little slow, and the lid edges are rather ragged, but it does the job. The knife sharpener does a good job on smaller knives, but is difficult to use on larger knives. I would buy this product again.
