From Metrokane, creators of the renowned Rabbit corkscrew, comes an electric version of the famous wine opener. Designed to lock onto a bottle for simpler operation than other corkscrews, this model couldn't be simpler to use. Place the opener over a wine bottle and push the button until the opener stops. Pull up to release the lock on the bottle and push the Up button to release the cork. The pull is designed to work with all types of corks, including plastic. An attractive LCD screen shows the number of cork pulls one can make before recharging is necessary. After 30 pulls, plug in the opener using the included AC charger. No space-hogging charging bases are required. The unit also comes with a foil cutter. It makes a great gift for newlyweds and new homeowners.

This review is from: Metrokane 6200 Electric Rabbit Corkscrew, Black (Kitchen)
After using this opener for a few weeks, and comparing it to the Oster 4207 Electric Wine-Bottle Opener which I own and have been using for a year, I prefer the Oster to the Metrokane.
Don't get me wrong; the Metrokane is a beautiful device, and the LCD is a pretty cool feature for this opener, but it doesn't compete with the functionality of the Oster. The Oster is lighter, faster, more reliable, and less than half the price of the Metrokane! Before buying this opener, definitely consider the Oster. For the same $50, you can have two openers (one could be a gift, one for you) and a bottle of wine to go with it! I struggled with the number of stars here. I can't really say that I dislike the Metrokane. It does work much of the time, and is very cool to use. Comparing it to the Oster (which I've rated 5 stars) is what really lowers the review here.

This review is from: Metrokane 6200 Electric Rabbit Corkscrew, Black (Kitchen)
I bought this for my mother for Xmas. I have never been so embarrassed about a gift that I have given someone. I fully charged it before I wrapped it and was planning on opening the bottle of wine at dinner with it. When that time came, not only did it not even come close to opening the bottle after repeatedly trying, it started splitting the opener apart. It immediately went from a full charge to a half, without even opening 1 bottle. My mother couldn't tell me to return it fast enough (which I did). Thinking at first it was the shape or size of the bottle I was trying to open with it, I decided to take it home at try it on a smaller bottle. It didn't open that bottle either. Now the charge was completely drained to "zero" and not one bottle had been successfully opened. I sincerely hope that anyone reading this will take my advice and research the different brands and styles first before jumping to purchasing this product. I found a less expensive automatic corkscrew at a local store and found it to work much better than this one did for a major fraction of the price. If you do want to give this as a gift, may I suggest you yourself purchase one first and try it out for awhile, before you too are disappointed and embarrassed.

Will not work all wine bottles,

This review is from: Metrokane 6200 Electric Rabbit Corkscrew, Black (Kitchen)
The internal cavity of the Electric Rabbit measures 1.188" in diameter. The top portion of two wine bottles we attempted to open measure 1.25" in diameter, and that is with the foil stripped off of the side. Talbott and St. Francis Chardonnay were the brands, and both are domestic.
The Electric Rabbit is well-made but should only be considered for wine bottles measuring less than 1.188" in diameter at the widest point on the top of the bottle. In light of this I will be asking Amazon to issue an RMA. 2115|R20C790KGGT42O;2115|R30ZZ1KDM9RFYM;2115|R2IOO7HF45P5DF;
