Most of the other reviewers must have received a different model. My opener opens about 1 out of 10 bottles. It is always a surprise when a cork is actually removed.
With so many good manual openers on the market, why would one waste counterspace and money on this needless, inoperative gaget?
Get a Rabbitt instead.
Works Everytime!:
This item performs exactly like advertised. It makes opening a bottle of wine "a piece of cake". Also, it's a good conversation piece when friends come over.
Quick and Easy:
A "Consumer Reports" favorable rating convinced me to buy the product. Not disappointed. It takes about ten(10) seconds to uncork a wine bottle. Simply amazing. No one using a conventional method is that quick. The opener has a beautiful black matte finish and looks handsome in the kitchen. Also comes with a foil cutter discreetly hidden in the charging stand. A great wine opener you will not regret purchasing.
Perfect gadget:
This product is great. I have used it on both the traditional and plastic corks and have not had any problems at all with either. It did take me a few tries when I first received it to get the hang of it, but now I love it!
