Ramarro of Windsor Mill MD (02/29/08) My wife and I purchased a Black and Decker electric can opener from Sears, and this design is absolutely the poorest excuse for a can opener I have ever seen. It will not grasp can rims, peels labels into the can when it sometimes will open a can, if and when it even will do that--and is in general, junk.
Metal and label paper in contents of can, if and when it even grasps the can, and simply most of the time will not work at all, even as a brand new product.
Richard of Bloomfield NY (01/14/03) I purchased a Gizmo can opener, mounted the base under the cabinet and removed our old under cabinet can opener, charged the new one all week-end. When I tried to open a large can of coffee all it would do is puncture the can, but not walk around the can like it's advertised. I called customer service and was told it should open the large cans and to return it to the store, it may be defective. I returned it yesterday, brought home another one, charged it for 24 hours, same problem.
Now customer service says the coffee can may be too thick to open, I tried a gallon can of pickles, same thing, it doesn't work. It works ok on small cans, but not large ones.
As a result I have to remove the new can opener, and reinstall the old one.
Each trip to Wal-Mart is 20 miles round trip, 20 miles to purchase the first one, 20 miles to return the first one and get the second one, 20 miles to return the second one. 60 miles total.
