Best can opener on the market
I had one for probably 20 years and it finally died. Went without for two years using an expensive stand model. Not happy with that. I like my counter clear, not because I need the space. I found this can opener again 2 years ago and do not want to be without. Decided to purchase another one for back-up. Please do not discontinue. Marketing would get people interested in buying this model.

I purchased this online and realized that it only fits under cabinets with no lip (screw attachment holes are not lined up to mount it so that the release lever can clear the cabinet). Not well thought out by B & D.

Hands Free Use
I bought this can opener at least 8 years ago and it works wonderfully. It will allow you to open a 7" can or taller as I have done it many times for my large family. The door opening may be a bit stiff when originally purchased but opens completely after several openings. I love this can opener for it's handsfree, space saving features. I noticed others say it will only open a 31/2" can. There is no way that a designer would design something to suit just a small group of people. That is not profitable.

not designed well! will be returned!!!
I was so happy with my OLD Spacemaker can opener, so since we moved I purchased another which had to be ordered so I couldn't see THE flaw. I just received it today, and looking at the instructions I found that this one will only open a 31/2 inch can. Not all cans are that small!!! My old one, which was working when we moved, and was put up 15 years ago or more, would open ALL SIZES OF CANS!!! It basically would twist so that the side which stores under the cabinet, is the side that contains the blades,magnet,etc. It also had a button so you could remove "the dirtiest inch in you kitchen", so that it could be cleaned in your dishwasher. When it is "twisted", the side which was under the cabinet becomes the front side which opens the cans, with nothing but the counter top (far below) to restrict the can size. Since the front of this one flips down, and not far, only a small can, can be opened - NOT PRACTICAL AT ALL!!!

Thank you for offering your feedback regarding your Black+Decker SpaceMaker Can Opener. I’m thrilled to hear your original SpaceMaker served you so well for so long!, You'll be happy to know that the door for your replacement SpaceMaker can also be pushed all the way underneath the can opener, allowing for opening taller cans. Additionally, the blade assembly for your replacement is removable for cleaning, but we recommend only cleaning it by hand. Your new SpaceMaker has a two year warranty and if you need any further assistance with it, I'd be happy to help. Please reply to the email I’ve sent you from youropinionmatters@spectrumbrands.com so I can address any of your concerns.
Poor design?
This unit just arrived in the mail and I haven't installed it yet. This is due to the fact that the cover does not open far enough for a standard can to fit under the blade. Is it defective or am I missing something about the cover/hinges?

Thank you for offering your feedback regarding your Black+Decker CO100B. I’m happy to advise that your can opener’s door can be pushed all the way underneath the unit. Continue to apply pressure downward, to get the door to swivel all the way out of your way. If you need any further assistance with your can opener, please reply to the email I’ve sent you from youropinionmatters@spectrumbrands.com so I can address your concerns.
This is my third B&D SpaceMaker
My third: This can is so awkward to use that I am considering to uninstall it. It doesn't turn the can, it's hard to get the can started. The only thing it seems to do is rip off the label of the can, contaminate the cans product, and render the can so damaged that even a old fashion hand can opener won't open it. I must say that every time I purchased a new SpaceMaker the bolt hole pattern changed leaving my cabinet bottom looking a little Swiss cheese. I think I am looking for a new one even if it cost twice as much! SORRY B&D but you need to know

Not what I expected
I've had a B&D SpaceMaker can opener for years and it finally broke. I thought I'd replace it with the same brand. It's very cheaply made and the front cover keeps falling open. I needed it to open larger cans and it barely opens standard size ones. I would not buy again and will not recommend it.
