Are you tired of struggling with that dollar store can opener that becomes more and more difficult to turn, skipping parts of the can along the way? Of course, there is the bit more expensive ones with the rubber-like handles which seem to be heaven sent, for a little while anyway. What do you do when opening cans is a constant battle?
Well, one remedy to start buying more fresh and frozen vegetables, instead of canned veggies, which may not work when you are trying to feed a large family, since can vegetables are a bargain if you catch a 10 for $10 can sale.
Do you remember hearing, when someone cannot remember a name of something, “Oh, it’s that little gizmo. Well, Black & Decker has a Gizmo that you do not want to do without.
This is my review of the Black and Decker Gizmo as owner and user.
I love the Gizmo which was given to me 5 years by a family member who had it tucked away.
CON is that it is difficult to find a battery replacement should you need one.

Gizmo-Perfect For Those With Daily Challenges
After going through a ton of those hand cranking style can openers, as well as the last, brand new electric can opener, I was given the cutest little thing you ever want to see. Not only is it cute, but it is the greatest can opener there is. It opens cans of all sizes without the spillage and fighting with larger cans as you may experience with traditional electric can openers.
The Gizmo is so easy to use; it is perfect for those with daily challenges such as arthritis, or for those who cannot stand at the counter top. Simply remove it from the kitchen drawer, lay it in your lap, as you may wheel yourself to your kitchen table which may be lower than your cabinets, if the home is not modified for a wheelchair. The Gizmo can be used by both left and right-handed people.

The Hands Free Gizmo
Attach And Watch It Go!
Once you attach the Gizmo to the can, just stand and watch it go, on its own. Once attached to the can, it is totally hands-free from there. In fact, you don’t even have to hold the can to prevent it from dropping. Your can will sit flat on the counter top while it is being opened.
All you need to do is to attach the opener onto your can, regardless of its size, and let go of the soft-grip top. The can moves itself around the can all by itself, and shuts down once the can has been opened. The swing-out magnet attaches to and lifts the lid.
Pack It Up And Go
Take your Gizmo with you, it is less than 2 pounds, lightweight fitting in the palm of your hand. You recharge your Gizmo can opener by setting it in its base measuring 6 3/4" x 5 1/2", plug it in and wait for it to recharge. The hardware for wall mounting is included. You can also set it on the counter top, without taking up much room, or simply tuck it in a drawer or cabinet. The stainless-steel blade is removable and dishwasher safe.
