 works well, but we'll see how long it lasts June 3, 2008

I've only used this on two bottles. It sure makes the opening easier, but.....it doesn't look very well made, so I don't know how many bottles I can expect it to open.
 Works great May 21, 2008
Some of these don't work all that well, or get cranky after a while--this one operates smoothly and holds up. If you've never owned one of these, you have no idea how simple opening wine bottles can be! I bought one for my 88-year old mother who is not able to use other types easily (I know, how much wine is she drinking?)and she is happily popping corks again. You go grandma!
 MIU Corkscrew didn't pull a single cork May 7, 2008

This corkscrew didn't pull a single cork.
However the MIU Corkscrew pushed corks into the two bottles that I tried. Therefore I am calling it a "cork pusher".
Will return this to Amazon, one of my favorite sellers, and who has a sterling return policy.
I am recommending to Amazon that you discontinue this item from your offerings and return all stock to the manufacturer for a full credit. This plan will save future grief for Amazon.
 Not bad for the price May 5, 2008
The first one lasted us 2 1/2 years, not too bad for $30, and we use it a lot! Our first one died, the plastic just broke so there was no fixing it, but it worked great up until then, so at the sale price I'm getting another one. It is very easy to use, and I really like the cutter that comes with it.
Works, so far April 28, 2008
I bought this as a inexpensive replacement for a worn-out screwpull. The first one worked OK until it literally started to fall apart - first a plastic stopper, followed by a shaft, etc. Amazon was first class at replacing the unit, shipping me a new one as a replacement and taking the old one back. The second one has been working without any problems to date. Thus, I imagine that the first one was simply an outlier.
What was disappointing about this unit is the foil cutter, which doesn't work nearly as well as that of the Screwpull (MIU elected to save some money by not using sharpend wheels like the screwpull foil cutter does).
