Love it...bought another after 9 years

 
5.0

Pros

  • Quick
  • Easy To Use
  • Ergonomic Grip
  • Looks Good

Cons

  • Takes up Space

Best Uses

  • Wine Bottles
  • At The Bar

I received this product 9 years ago as a gift and have loved the ease of opening and also recorking bottles. Guests always asked me where I got one and admired it. Recently I heard a snap internally when opening a bottle and that was it for the one I received 9 years ago. I had to buy a new one, no question about it. They are made really well, and I had used this opener on many many bottles. The new one is very well made and feels solid. No doubt this is a good buy, but you need a good place to put it.

Pros

  • Good price

Cons

  • Doesn't work w synthetic
  • Flimsy

Best Uses

  • Boat anchor

Doesn't work at all with plastic, synthetic or hybrid corks. Works fine with real corks but who can afford "real cork" wine for every dinner.

Like it but one small problem

 
4.0

Pros

  • Quick
  • Easy To Use

Cons

  • Tends to spin bottles

Best Uses

  • Wine Bottles

It's not like the old wine opener we had. This one tends to spin the bottles instead of taking the cork out. I thought it was my hand strength was not enough but it happens with my husband as well. I have to grip the handle with all of my might before it will take the cork out, otherwise the bottle just spins right out of the gripper handle. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Pros

  • Relatively low price

Cons

  • Flimsy
  • No synthetic corks

Best Uses

  • Boat anchor

Previous model was heavy and well made but simply wore out after MANY years of use; so no problem. This new version is very light duty and won't open bottles with synthetic, plastic or hybrid corks.

Pros

  • Quick
  • Easy To Use
  • Ergonomic Grip

Cons

  • Flimsy
  • Nylon gears

Best Uses

  • At The Bar

I've had two of these openers and while they are so easy to use, the internal machinery is nothing more than cheap nylon gears. Deceiving in view of the great looking exterior. Face removing a difficult cork, and you'll watch the opener die in one simple lever action. Simple fix by changing the materials if the manufacturer was so inclined.
