5.0 out of 5 stars Wine opening made easy!!, December 9, 2008

I've never written a review on a product before. BUT, I just had to comment on this wine opener. I just tried it for the first time this evening...IT WORKS SOOOO EASY!! IT IS UNBELIEVEABLE!! Just put it over your bottle, press the down arrow and hold it there...it lowers the screw into the cork and retracts the cork out in one easy motion. Then press the up arrow and the screw automatically unwinds throw the cork and the cork just pops into your hand. Magnificent piece work. Every wine lover should own one. I just ordered another one for my brother-in-law

2.0 out of 5 stars Unpredictable results, December 25, 2009

Friends have this device and like it, but mine doesn't work correctly. Mine shreds corks rather than removing them, because the auger that screws into the cork is mounted at a slight angle to vertical. It isn't adjustable. I guess mine is defective, but I've read reviews on another site that indicate my experience is not unique. Even with a correctly aligned auger, I would not use this opener on an older bottle with a fragile cork, because you can't see what the hidden corkscrew is doing until it's finished, and if you haven't held the housing firmly enough the auger will wobble and you'll end up with cork soup.

My bottom line assessment is, if you have arthritis or other problems that hamper your ability to use a traditional corkscrew or a rabbit-type lever device, then this might help you. Just be aware that you have to be able to hold the housing and the bottle firm and straight simultaneously while the cork is being removed, which takes some manual strength. If you can use a traditional corkscrew fine, I'd stick with that.

It took me a few tries to get it right...but I love it! Hold the wine bottle & the opener and let it do it's magic! Great gift too.
