Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker CO85BM Spacemaker Can Opener, Black/Brushed Metal
Customer Review: Not as good as the old B&D Spacemaker Can Opener
Summary: 3 Stars
We had one of the older white B&D Spacemaker can openers for about 15 or 20 years. It worked great and could be mounted on flat bottom cabinets or recessed bottom cabinets. We recently built a new house which has all stainless appliances. We bought this new B&D Spacemaker Can Opener because it matched our new appliances. Our new cabinets have recessed bottoms (as did our old ones). The old spacemaker can opener could be mounted flush with the bottom front edge of the cabinet. As others have said, this new can opener cannot be mounted flush with the front of the cabinet if you have recessed bottoms on your cabinets, because the lever will hit the cabinet. I solved this problem by mounting the can opener 3" back from the front of the cabinet. That way, the lever can be raised fully. I admit that it would be better to have the can opener flush with the front of the cabinet, but at least it works this way. If you have flat bottom cabinets, you could mount it flush with the front of the cabinet. The lever does seem to fall off more easily than our old can opener if you raise the lever too far. Other than that, the can opener seems to work fine. We can't find any other black and stainless under-the-cabinet can openers, so we will probably stick with this one. I think Black & Decker needs to change their mounting design back like the older models, so they can be mounted flush with the front of recessed bottom cabinets or flat bottom cabinets.
