I experienced the same problem as reviewer number 2. Rather than pulling the cork, it pushes the cork into the (expensive) wine, splashing the wine on table, chairs, and clothing. I am not happy. Tried to return item, no record!

I gave this wine opener as a gift to my husband for Christmas. He also received a handheld wine opener of a different brand from his father. Besides the fact that a piece broke off the second time we used it, it wasn't able to fit many of our bottles of wine because it wasn't tall enough, and out of three bottles we opened with it, it pushed the cork down into one of the bottles. When comparing the weight and sturdiness of the opener my father-in-law got my husband and the one I got, there was no comparison. Mine felt like I picked it up at the dollar store.

They built the main support beam and fastening joint with cheap plastic. Broke literally the first time I used it. Am sending it back.

I've been using this opener for 5 months, its opened every bottle quickly and easily (a lot of bottles), no pushed down corks, no broken corks, and its still in one piece. Overall though its obvioulsy cheaply constructed and doesn't look as good as I would have hoped (it looks as cheap as it feels). Right out of the box I recognized it for weak construction so I've just been carful with it, and its worked just fine.

This product cost $50, and felt like something I'd purchase at a 99cent store. The handle flexes when you hold it, and the corkscrew is cheap and flimsy. I bought this as a gift, and I'm glad I opened it to inspect for shipping damage, because I saw the quality and immediately returned the item at my own shipping cost. I would never give such shoddy product as a gift.

I bought this over a year ago, and it just broke - it does feel a bit cheap, but it wasn't the plasticy parts that broke - it was the mechanism on top. I could replace this, but it would cost $40 to get the new part, so I'm buying a different brand this time. Not a bad unit - I enjoyed it thoroughly for the last year, but be gentle!

We got one of these as a gift. My wife set it up at a small get together and one of our guests immediately broke it.

Then I went to the in-laws house, and they had the same one, in a box, unused. I tried to set it up, and it broke upon assembly! That's two broken openers before a bottle even got opened. They broke it two different ways, too. It has numerous fragile plastic parts that are so thin they can't possibly survive much use. I managed to open a couple bottles with it, but it doesn't work well.
