Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker KEC600 Cordless Can Opener, White
Customer Review: My favorite can opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this opener for 9 years and finally had to replace it. I have tried many other models, but none of them could beat this one, at least not for me. It used to be sold at Target and many other stores but because of a reason unknown to mankind it disappeared from their shelves. First attempt of using it can be frustrating if you don't do it right. Just be patient and make sure both small ledges of the opener sit on top of a can. After you get it right you'll start enjoying it as I have been for all these years. If you want it to last, don't keep adapter plugged in all the time. There are nickel-cadmium batteries inside. They need to be completely discharged before recharging to last longer.Customer Review: Not worth the trouble
Summary: 1 Stars
After trying to use this can opener for a year, I've finally given up and decided to write a review panning it... why should anyone else have to go through using one of these when it's clearly not worth the trouble. It falls apart whenever I try to set it up to open a can, and if there's the slightest irregularity in the can's edge, this can opener can't deal with it. Also, it takes extra effort to properly align it for recharging. I can't even guess how many times I've put this can opener down in disgust and reached for my good old-fashioned manual can opener! Save yourself the time, money and aggrivation by avoiding the Black and Decker KEC600 Cordless Can Opener.Customer Review: READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING!
Summary: 1 Stars
This battery does not hold a charge. It has to constantly stay in it's charging base. If it is left off the charger for an hour it will maybe cut half-way through a can, then you have to resort to a manual can opener. The charging base does not have any type of charge indicator light, so you can't tell if it's charging or not. It also fits loosely in the charging base and if it's not correctly seated it doesn't get a charge and you're back to the manual can opener. You're better off purchasing the regular corded can opener. Having to keep this can opener constantly charged uses up a valuable electrical socket in my already crowded, small kitchen.Customer Review: LOve this and am buying a 2nd after 5 years of use!
Summary: 5 Stars
This took about 5 tries before I got the hang of how to fit it onto the can properly, but after that it was a breeze. I love that I can take it anywhere in the kitchen and open stuff, but I always know where it is because I store it on the charger. I have never experienced the low charger problems other people have complained about, perhaps because I always place it back on the charger. It's not that hard to figure out where the groove is for the charger to slide into in order to charge properly. This is the best can opener I've ever owned: small, portable, opens any size can, comfortable to hold, & I've been cooking and baking nearly 30 years!Customer Review: Good for awhile--but no reliability
Summary: 1 Stars
This was a terrific gadget--for a few months. It then died. While it seems to be charging OK (limitation: there's no charge light on the base, so you just hope for a positive mechanical connection), there just isn't enough oomph to get around even one can, at least most of the time, without major coaxing. The backup: open a drawer and use the old manual model. That appears the only reliable "cordless" device available.
Black & Decker's quality on small appliances seems to have really gone down the tubes over the last few years. I'm replacing this with a corded model from West Bend; B&D will never again darken my kitchen.
