Black & Decker CO100 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

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.

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.

The knife sharpener on the side is superfluous for me we don't use it at all.

Ultimately I like this opener for the reasons I got it it works just like the original, looks nice, and has a cool bottle opener. The downside is that it was a pain to install and someone who isn't as handy as I am (and I'm pretty handy, if I do say so myself) would have had problems installing it if their cabinets are the same spec as mine. If not for the tricky install, I'd have rated it a 5.

Alright, I read all of the reviews and actually was concerned about the installation concerns others shared. My husband and I found it to be an easy and basic installation. We were prepared for all cabinets and cabinet depths not being equal or standard in thickness and grade etc which explains mixed reviews on installation. That preparation made this a very easy installation. Other complaints above the cover being in the way or poor quality are completely false from our usage. The cover is actually a great feature, goes all the way back so its out of the way when your opening all can sizes big and small. And when your done you close it and it looks very savvy. Absolutely ecstatic about the quality and how well it works.

I used a 2x4 piece of wood, cut to the diam. of the top of the can opener. Took a piece of paper put on top of the can opener & poked holes in the paper were the screws go into the can opener. Pre-drill the holes in the 2x4, Put screws in the holes & screwed the block of wood to the top of the can opener. Put under counter & screwed down with (4)drywall screws...They will hold can opener firmly, but will not go all the way through the 2x4... Perfect job! Done in about 30 minutes...Hope this will help someone...
