Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker GC200 Gizmo Cordless Can Opener
Customer Review: Great device! Make your own rechargeable battery and keep it..
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had mine for 5 years. I love it and didn't want to see it go. However, the battery no longer holds a charge. But with a little creativity it's pretty easy to change it to use two AA rechargeable batteries (B&D does not sell battery replacements). Now it's good as new again. Since these use nicad Batteries, they have a bad memory affect, and if not discharged fully will no longer hold a full charge or even operate plugged in over time. To change out the battery, open the egg shaped unit with the two screws, remove the battery pack, get an AA cell holder from radio shack (make sure the batteries are wired in series- ask the guy at RS if you have any questions or take the battery pack with you) wire it in to the existing battery leads. Now remove a small inner part of the plastic casing on the non battery side which goes up against the battery (since the battery pack is now larger, the casing needs this slight mod. A Dremel works good for this. Add a couple of rechargeables, and enjoy for another five years. Next time you'll just have to replace the batteries. This is a about a 10 minute job.
Description of Black & Decker GC200 Gizmo Cordless Can Opener
Black & Decker Gizmo electric can opener in white. Includes power pierce cutter, removable blade, cordless operation, auto off, hands-free operation, opens big and tall cans, mountable, batter charger and no-touch lid removal.Offering three storage options, this cleverly designed appliance is not only convenient, it turns the chore of opening cans into a hands-free operation that's as fun as it is effective. The opener is cordless so it goes anywhere, eliminating the need to carry a can to a countertop or mounted electric opener. Simply clamp the opener onto any size can and let go of the soft-grip top. The opener then walks around the can on its own, shutting off automatically when the can is open. A swing-out magnet lifts the lid free. The opener is lightweight and recharges in a compact, 6-3/4-by-5-1/2-inch plastic charging base that can be mounted on a wall (mounting hardware included), set on the counter, or placed in a drawer. For easy cleaning, the removable, stainless-steel blade is dishwasher-safe. --Fred Brack
