Can't open the larger coffee cans

cartan's Full Review: Black & Decker Gizmo Spacemaker Can Opener EM200
Before purchasing the Gizmo, I dutifully read the reviews of this gadget from various sources. It seemed that the reviews were either extremely favorable or totally negative. I couldn't believe that the Gizmo was as bad as claimed by the negative reviews. There must be some operator error involved. Black & Decker wouldn't dare put out a product that bad.

With the charger base mounted under the cabinet, the Gizmo works fine as stationery opener, on small to medium cans. It works well off the charger, on small to medium cans. It will not, however, either on the charger base or by itself, open the large (39 oz.) coffee cans. It stalls. It jams itself so hard that it is difficult to pry it off. Repeated attempts to back off and start again fail.

A wonderful gadget if one only opens small to medium size cans. Useless, in my opinion, if a backup is needed for the large cans.
