Unlike the other reviewers, my Kitchenaid cork screw worked fine for almost two years. It never quite pulled the cork far enough out of the bottle to suit me -- it didn't make cork pulling labor-free -- but I found it much easier than any previous such tool I ever owned. Alas, as in many of the other reviews, the screw finally broke off in a cork and the device seems irreparable. A cheap plastic cork screw had to be called into service. I just visited the Kitchenaid web page and they don't offer a cork screw for sale anymore. I presume that I will soon toss mine as well. Planning to buy one of these for $30? Clint would ask you: Do you feel lucky?

Like 7 of the 8 other reviews, this product broke with no way to repair it. For the price and apparent sturdiness, it is just one big failure and is to be avoided.

I purchased this corkscrew only one month ago, expecting it to be a lifetime lasting product. WRONG! The corkscrew broke off while we were opening a bottle ~ the screw coming off in the cork, remaining beyond repair. What a horrible product!

Having searched for a heavy-duty corkscrew of this design, I was pleased to find this model. I own other KitchenAid accessories and find them all well made. This corkscew is no exception. It has operated as expected, and does well with synthetic corks, also. The only improvement could be a better fit and material to grip the neck of the bottle. And offer it in colors, especially red.

Super heavy duty looking but broke after 9 uses. The actual corkscrew broke off of the main shaft. Exceptionally poor design.

Like other reviews, the screw broke after six times. The screw pulled out of the base which holds the screw. I filled the base with Gorilla Glue, then let it set up for 24 hours. The cork screw has held up for at least 60 times so far and is the best working and easiest cork screw I have ever used. I think KitchenAid should fix this problem.

We used this cork screw for about 1 month before the screw broke off in a cork. (It wasn't even a hard plastic cork but an actual "cork" cork.)

You would think they would make these with a better quality steel screw.
Shame on you KitchenAid.

I had one of these wine operers for a couple of weeks. During that time, it worked fine and delivered ease and power to opening wine.

Then...crack...the screw part broke off in a wine cork while I was opening the 22nd bottle. Alas, the time that I could have returned it was over, so off it went into the metal recycleables bin.

Get something with a stronger cork screw attached to the levers.

This is not the one to buy!

Works fine for standard style bottles, but the collar actually cracked when using it to open a 1.5 liter bottle with a flanged top. Poor design...I'm still nursing a painful finger that got pinched in the cracked collar.
