A marvel of low tech

As a person who loathes cheap, clutter, infomercial widgets I bought this out or sheer curiosity imagining it would be returned the same day. This opener is large, requires an electric plug and takes up counter space. But to my surprise it works amazingly well. There is a foil cutter that is stored in the base. The screw enters cleanly and seems to eliminate broken and shredded corks which can be frustrating. Hold the button again and the cork emerges from the device and drops out. I always liked my sturdy and simple stainless steel opener. But this turned out to be a keeper. It's design is contemporary and clean, although it looks like it should do something more profound than just pull a cork. It's also a conversation piece provoking smiles from guests. A pleasant surprise, highly recommended and especially so for a person who lacks hand or wrist strength.

Best Wine Opener Ever!!

I have a whole menagerie of wine openers and NOTHING compares to this Oster opener. I have bought them for gifts too and everyone loves them! I don`t think you`ll be disappointed in the least!!

It really works, and it's basically effortless

I have been trying to find a corkscrew that my wife will use with enthusiasm for about 15 years. Up until this one, they have all been "too hard" and I have to end up opening her wine. She is now perfectly happy to open a bottle of wine by herself, and that's all I can ask. It's a rather large device for what it does, but its kind of cool looking, so it makes up for its size.

Cork splitter, messy opener

I had high expectations for this product after using Rabbits for years, which open bottles flawlessly. Purchased at Costco locally for several dollars less than Amazon. This product inevitably either splits corks or drills the corks so deep that it spits cork out the other end into the wine. If you don't position the worm directly in the center of the bottle, which is hard to do (since it is retracted inside the opener), it will surely split the cork and then you've spoiled the bottle. I've since stopped using it because of these reasons.
