Black & Decker CO100WM SpaceMaker Under-the-Cabinet Can Opener - White

Having had a prior model of the Black & Decker undercounter can opener, I
was so pleasantly surprised at the improvements B&D made to produce such
a fantastic product. The first time I used it I couldn't believe how fast
and powerful it is, and how clean the edges of the can is left. I didn't know how bad my other one was and was so frustrated by it I at first wouldn't look at another Black and Decker. I'm so glad that I did.
Thank you thank you thank you. BW in Dallas, TX

I bought this Black and Decker space saver can opener to replace one that my wife and I received as a wedding gift in 1992. (It still worked, but the blade had worn down and it wasn't fully opening cans anymore)

Functionally this thing is great - it works as advertised and pretty much just like the one it replaced. One added plus is the bottle opener on the bottom - no more hunting for a bottle opener when I want a beer, I just walk over, pop the end up underneath the can opener, tilt the bottle the other way and voila! Opened bottle with minimal fuss.

I was somewhat disappointed with one aspect of this opener though - I almost couldn't install it correctly under my cabinet and I had to use almost all of the provided spacers up underneath so that it would have enough clearance. Furthermore, I couldn't use the existing holes that I had drilled in my cabinet - I had to drill new ones. There should be some kind of standard for these things but there isn't...Read more

Black & Decker should hire new people to design there products and also require them to go out in the real world and try them before marketing them. The screws are too short if you use there spacers because the Handle will hit the cabinet on the bottom keeping you from removing it to clean it. I made a block to screw up under the cabinet then mounted the opener on that block so it cleared the bottom. This is ok for me since i was a carpenter. But most home owners would have a problem. Hard to believe these companies are more interested in making money than doing it right. If you double up the spacers then the long screws are too short. Some engineering i would say lol
Once mounted the product does work. But a 5 minute install turned out to be 40 minutes.
