"Works Great"
Bought this for my father and grandfather for Christmas and it works very nicely. I have no problems operating it though my mother seemed to stumble upon problems, I just don't think she was focusing on what she was doing. Great product and works nicely.

"Poor quality"
This is the first review that I have written, but this item was such a disappointment to me. Every house I have owned I have bought a Spacesaver canopener for the kitchen and have left them with each house.
I have used and been happy with each of them until this model. You have to hold the can a very special way and try several times to get it to work. When I first started buying them, they were owned by GE and then bought out by Black and Decker. This one finally totally broke. I hope the next model I buy works better.


"Practice makes perfect!"
This opener is pretty sleek and easy to install--took me about 30 minutes (be sure to read the instructions carefully!) OK-so, the operation. Well, it's alright. My wife actually got the hang of it before I did. You don't just put the can on the unit cause it won't grab it. You put the can on, pull down the lever, then push the can back a bit (?) till it catches and starts to open and turn. After a dozen or so cans you get the hang of it and the power of this opener is great. Still, I wonder if the design couldn't be improved, though it's ok for now.

"Avoid this thing like the plague"
I had an old Black & Decker SpaceMaker which broke after about 10 years of daily use. I bought this product as a replacement. It looks sleek, takes up very little space, but has one tiny flaw.....it doesn't open cans. In order to open a can you have to tilt the can just right under the "locater post" and even then the one I have opens a can maybe only 1 out of 20 tries. Maybe I got a lemon, but in any event, its not even worth returning it after considering shipping, etc. I'll just buy another brand and eat this one. Do yourself a favor - pass on this product.

"Works well"
I've never had problems getting this can opener to work right, and use it quite often. The blade is removable to wash, but they made it really tough to remove (I suppose that's better than it falling off way too easily, but it's complicated enough that I do it very infrequently because of the hassle).

What our customer's say!

"Excellent purchase!", I have a small kitchen and no spare counter space. I have owned a spacemaker can opener for over ten years and decided to replace it with a new one. I am so glad B&D have not discontinued this model. It is easy to install and works perfecty and since it is attached under my cabinets it does not interfer with my counter space. Great buy and well priced. N.Walker P.S. I installed it toward the back of my cabinet not the front edge,so it is not in my way.

"Poorly engineered", This can opener is the most frustrating appliance in my kitchen.

My old Sunbean Space Saver can opener was wonderful. But after 20 years or so, it wore out.

So I bought the Black and Decker. A Big Mistake.

It is very very difficult to load a can, to position it in precisely the way the opener needs to have it. The opener is (by definition) mounted underneath a cabinet, and so it is hard to see the position of the can vis a vis the opener. And placement is absolutely critical with this piece of junk.

I have bought one of those hand held, twist the knob openers. I do not use my B&D can opener, and at the first opportunity I will replace it.



"Caution: Poor Mounting Design Won't Work on Some Cabinets", 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?

"I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED", I should have listened to the other reviews and bought something else. I was replacing a Black & Decker under counter opener that worked like a charm for over 15 years until it broke.

This opener is selective and opens some cans but not all cans the way the other one did. It's a crap shoot every time you want to open a can.... maybe it'll open it/maybe it won't.

Save your money and buy something else.

"Only lasted 2 months", I bought this at Walmart and was happy with it for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks it sounded like it was barely making it around each can. Than it got louder and sounded like it was moaning "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR gRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRg aRRRRRRRRRRRR" and would only make it half way around the can. Finally it just died, well it still moans a little when you attempt to open a can, but it will no longer have anything to do with actually opening a can....it's dead.... What a piece of junk.....

Read this reviews before You buy...

"can opener review", It is a very slick can opener and works beautifully. It took a few minutes to install but wasn't dificult.

"Why is there any other kind?", Counter top openers take up space and have to be moved every time you clean the counter. By suspending the opener, it's out of the way and is a lot less trouble in the long run.
Installation takes a little time and care plus it requires drilling holes all the way through the underside of a cabinet. So if you rent or move a lot, a counter top unit might be more practical for you. If you aren't handy with tools, this opener is such a good idea that it would be easily worth getting a friend or a professional to install it.
Until all cans come with some kind of self-opening lid, I'd recommend this unit as a superior design solution.

"After 1 year Works great!", After reading some of the reviews here I had to post and say what a great product this is. I tried several other openers and found them lacking in quality and design. However this one has both! The only knock I would have is that the directions on mounting are somewhat unclear as one gentlemen found out when he went to mount it. You need to make sure that the handle has enough room to operate, you just cant slap it in under your cabinet, it needs to be near the front edge, as close as possible. They also provide spacers to level it off. It has been very sturdy, and without problems. One other thing I did notice is that placing the can in the opener was a little different from what I was used to, I beleive this is because the way the can openr is able to hold the can, (so you don't have to) as it opens the can, which I thought was cool because you can start the can and get your bowl or whatever and come back and there is your open can hanging there. I have not tried this with anything large though, mostly soup and veggie cans. Besides for the price, this is a deal.

"The old ones were better", I also bought one of these to replace an old B&D spacemaker that was around 8 years old. My old one was nasty looking, yellowed but still worked good. I should have kept it because this new one is a piece of crud! It is very hard to put the can on and open it, takes me 3-4 tries, and the bottle opener is side to side now instead of front to back, making it very hard to open a bottle. I am VERY disappointed in it and we have been using a manual can opener instead of this one thats hanging under the counter---it will be coming down very soon.



"Works Great After 4 Years", I've had this for 4 years and it's a fantastic kitchen tool. It has opened every size can & I have never once pulled out the manual opener. The installation was frustrating. It may be designed for different width cabinets. We used some wood shims (thin wood strips) inside the cabinet to attach with the mounting strip and it's very secure. Maybe you could try shims underneath the cabinet if clearance is your problem. Bottom line - frustrating installation, fantastic opener
