Customer Review: Cute!
Summary: 5 Stars
Pretty good product. We have not changed the batteries yet & it does get quite a bit of usage. It's easy to use & not an eye-sore in my kitchen. Very fast shipping! I would order again.Customer Review: Terrific Item
Summary: 2 Stars
The Black & Decker Gismo Electric Can opener is a terrific addition to kitchen tools. It is easy to use, handy, and a great improvement over the old style can openers. A great gift for others AND for yourself!Customer Review: wouldn't hold a charge
Summary: 1 Stars
I loved it when I first got it. I charged it by the directions, and used it for all my cans with no problem. When it ran out of juice I recharged it according to the directions. The next day it wouldn't work. It had enough power to turn if I closed it by hand, but it wouldn't cut through a lid. I held it closed and ran it out and tried to charge it once again (that was from the troubleshooting guide). Still couldn't cut through a lid. It would run if I closed it by hand, but it never cut a lid again. I tossed it and bought a manual one that still works.Customer Review: Gizmo is hard to handle
Summary: 1 Stars
My Gizmo is extremely hard to position, to get it started cutting. After 4 or 5 tries, I finally get it started - but it's very frustrating. Also, since it lacks a handle, it is hard to handle while trying to position it.
I'm getting rid of it, and ordering a different model.
Customer Review: Handy but clunky
Summary: 3 Stars
The Gizmo works somewhat well, but can be hard to start on the lip of the can, and most of the time, when it's through, and U lift the arm to remove the can lid, the little arm w/the magnet wants to pop off. Slight bit of nusance. Also, unless it's always plugged in, resulting in an absolutely full charge, she will get a bit 'sleepy' after about the third can.Bought it for someone who has limited hand mobility, and she is unable (most of the time) to even load the Giz-no on to the lip. Resulting in me opening the can anyway, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid. I rate this as an 'Okay' item.
