I purchased this item on a whim because it looked like it would be fun to use, and after receiving it, I immediately tried it out. It failed to work on the first bottle, but has worked quite well on all subsequent ones. All I can assume is that the first bottle had a smaller cork than the others.

It is very easy to use, removes the cork with a few twists, and makes the cork pop out without any collateral damage. The champagne doesn't foam out of the bottle after the cork is released either. So if you like to have the cork pop out of your champagne bottles, but don't want any damage or harm caused by flying corks, such as dented walls or ceilings, broken dishes, etc. this is the tool for you.

I only gave it four stars because of the failure to remove the smaller cork, so it may not work with all bottles. But I've found it to be much more enjoyable and easier to use than other methods.

Purchased this product as a present several times. It is great as it pops and no need to worry about catching the cork.

I bought one of these for myself, and think it's great - it's easy to use, you get a very satisfying "pop", no spills, and no more apologies for damaging the neighbour's greenhouse/car/cat. And it makes a wonderful gift. Except... no box, and when I ordered via Amazon it couldn't even be gift-wrapped (admittedly, this was the UK Amazon site, if it's different here, apologies - update the product description, and I'll re-rate it as 5 stars!).
Now, I don't normally write reviews. In fact, this is my first. And I do it with caring and love, because, if the manufacturers would just please put this ridiculously-shaped but rather fabulous product in a gift-wrappable box (check the competition - other champagne openers are in boxes), I would buy them as gifts for everyone I know. Including kids and family pets.

I got this in time for New Years and it really did the job well. It may seem silly, but it isn't. Thus really takes the stress out of opening a bottle of bubbly.

I've had this champagne opener for years. It's so easy to use and works great. I've never tried it on a plastic "cork," but it has worked on every cork I've tried. I love it and I'm about to buy one as a gift.

It might work on wooden Cork's but it does not work on Plastic corks for Champagne. Waste of money!
