Longer Screws Available
If you have a recessed under-cabinet surface like I have, with a 1 1/2 inch skirt, nothing provided with the unit will enable you to mount it. The spacers are insufficient and the screws are too short, and nowhere in the documentation is there a cure. But before you go crazy trying to find screws and spacers long enough to jerry-rig a mount, as so many have done, call Black and Decker customer service and get parts. They know about the problem and have long screws and mounts to correctly mount the unit.
I haven't yet been able to try mine, so I don't know how good it is. But whoever is responsible for the absence 0f longer screws or advice on how to get them ought to be skinned.
why I bothered to write this review
The Amazon.com process, super deal, and availability for this unit were enough to sell me, but there were also other factors.
Initially I was becoming desperate as there were very few choices and none locally on this island out in the middle of the Pacific ocean.
First I needed a replacement for my 15 year old underconter machine.
Second Nothing that sets on the counter is welcome in my kitchen unless there is no other way.
Third I read all of the reviews of all existing in the market place machines.
Nobody really liked any of them for a variety of reasons not related to opening cans.
Fourth the reviews of this machine by all concerned were better than for other machines.
The bag ripper and sharpener are wasted on me I am far too tall to use them and the sharpening steel and fillet knife are too handy anyway.
YES SHARPENING STEELS WORK REALLY WELL AS THEY LEAVE THE PERFECT EDGE FOR PAPER AND MEAT WHEN USED ON CARBON STEEL BLADES. You...
Replaced an old opener
I had a Rival under the cabinet can opener that was terrific. It had a button to push to swing it up and out of the way when not in use. The Black and Decker is larger but fits well under the cabinet. So far it has proved to be very effecient. I haven't tried the bag opener yet but all in all it is a good product.
