Product Review

If space is at a premium in your kitchen you might do well to consider this under the counter can opener. Not only will it open your cans, it can sharpen your knives, tell you the time and time your brownies.

Amazon.com Review

Slim, sleek, white, and unobtrusive, this appliance mounts under a cabinet and then performs four essential kitchen tasks: It opens cans of all sizes, sharpens knives of all sizes, displays real time, and keeps track of cooking times. Closed, the cover serves as a clock/timer. Pulled down, the cover reveals the electric, hands-free can opener (with a magnet to hold lids) and knife sharpener. For easy cleanup, the cutting assembly removes and goes safely into the dishwasher. The can opener/knife sharpener plugs into a wall socket. The clock/timer operates on a LR44 cell battery (included). The appliance measures 9 inches wide, 3-1/4 inches high, and 6 inches deep and mounts under flush or overhang cabinets. Mounting instructions are clear, and mounting hardware is included. --Fred Brack

Very pleasing design, this can opener has a rounded, attractive appearance when tucked under your cabinets. As I see it, it has two main benefits:1) As it hangs under your kitchen cabinet, it frees up space on your counters, leaving room for other appliances.2) Because it is off the counter, you can open any size can with it. I really like this, because I often cook in bulk and need to open BIG cans--my old can opener did not have enough room between the counter and the top of the can opener to place large cans.The can opener is also easy to clean, as the blade is in an assembly that easily slides out for cleaning. The clock and timer aren't of much use to me as every darn appliance in my kitchen already has a clock.One caveat: the installation instructions have you place the can opener far too much to the front of the cabinet so that it actually sticks out from the cabinet. If I had it to do over again, I would move it back under the cabinet.

Love the way it stays out of the way and off my counter. The only problem I have had with it is that it is sometimes hard to close and the can holder doesn't pop out when it opens.

This small under cabinet can opener works reasonably well and its bland design won't offend in most kitchens.

However, it's not without its share of flaws.

First, it has a built-in clock and timer powered by a little watch battery. That's another device to set twice a year when we adjust for daylight savings time, and I could do without the hassle. The cheap-looking, hard to read LCD display is more an eyesore than a useful feature. Why would B&D choose to use a watch battery when there's ample room for a AA? I don't understand why they would bother adding a feature so poorly implemented. The product would clearly be better off without it.

Then, there's a design issue with the cover. Even when you push it all the way back, it's probably going to catch some of the spillage from your freshly opened cans.

Finally, the worst problem I have with it is that it's hard to set the cans in place, and you can't open Costco-size cans unless you hold...Read more
