 It works, but it has some problems! August 1, 2008
I bought one of these can openers in 2002, and it's still working. My best guess is that I've opened more than 1000 cans with it -- maybe 2000. But it has problems. First, as several people have noted, it chews up the paper labels on the outside of cans that have them. Lining up the blade with the top of the can is not always easy. And when I use it to open cans that are filled with liquid all the way to the top, a bit of the liquid always spills out during the opening process. So, overall, I'd rate this B&D can opener as follows: DURABILITY: VERY GOOD, EFFECTIVENESS: GOOD, CONVENIENCE: FAIR, TIDINESS OF OPERATION: POOR. I'll buy a different model next time.
 Great product! January 31, 2005

After reading the other reviews, I felt compelled to write one myself. I have had this can opener for 1 1/2 years and it has worked without fail and is showing no signs of wearing down. I cook using canned items several times each week, so this is no unused item. The trick is to line up the can's edge under the blade, then adjust the can so that the lid-holding magnet is centered on the lid. Once that magnet is smack in the middle of the lid, the can opener works like a charm. Otherwise it doesn't engage right. I don't consider this a design flaw, just the right way to use the machine. The height of the opener is an added bonus so that family-sized cans are no extra chore. Also I have opened the tiny cans of sliced mushrooms or diced green chiles with this same can opener and had no trouble. I highly recommend this product.
 B&D Really Screwed This One Up! May 23, 2004

I came here specifically to write this review so others would not feel the pain I did. Now, only us lazy folks would go looking for an electric can opener, but that's besides the point. The purpose of this device is to open a can faster and easier than a manual can opener. It is so hard to use this darn thing that I inevitably use my manual one to open the can if it takes me more than 3 attempts. Please don't buy this. Buy a good quality manual can opener.
Not the best January 5, 2004
I trust the Black & Decker name but must say that this particular product is a disappointment. It isn't user friendly. It takes several attempts to get the can hooked and opened and by that time it has shredded the paper label in which some pieces always end up in my food. My advice for you would be to make sure can is cleaned before opening so you don't have a problem if any paper falls back into the can.
 Pretty good October 27, 2003

I have never been able to use automatic can openers, so at my house it's operator error if the thing doesn't work the first time. I like that it's tall. The lids always stay on the can opener after I have removed them. It stores very easily and cleans up pretty nicely. It does shred the wrapping on the can, but I usually throw mine away. Never had a problem with the paper going in the food. (?see comment below?) Overall, I think it's a great buy. Very sleak, I sure don't mind leaving it on countertop!
