 Love it April 19, 2007
I got this from Amazon a while back. I love mine. I had a Stock the Bar party and it worked on every bottle and the half dozen I've opened since. If you consider yourself a sophisticated wine drinker you may not like it. It is much bigger, louder than I had imagined. Pretend it is a Black n Decker cordless drill with a bit that opens wine. That's all it really is anyway. You really have to grab on when you open the bottle so you tend to feel retarded when the bottle starts to spin out of control. Or some at least some of the girls that have used it looked that way. But I could care less. I like drinking the wine, I'm lazy and a little bit on the gadget side! This thing rocks!
Gr-r-r-r-reat Opener April 18, 2007
This wine opener is absolutely amazing! I bought it after I saw it on one of the morning shows never expecting it to be as good as they said. However I was totally surprised. I've tried many different openers and always wound up with cork in the wine or the whole cork pushing down into the bottle. It works very well on both regular corks and synthetic corks. I have successfully removed the cork every time I used it, which is fairly often. I plan on buying a couple for Christmas presents for people who are hard to buy for. Don't think twice, buy it.
A marvel of low tech April 12, 2007

As a person who loathes cheap, clutter, infomercial widgets I bought this out or sheer curiosity imagining it would be returned the same day. This opener is large, requires an electric plug and takes up counter space. But to my surprise it works amazingly well. There is a foil cutter that is stored in the base. The screw enters cleanly and seems to eliminate broken and shredded corks which can be frustrating. Hold the button again and the cork emerges from the device and drops out. I always liked my sturdy and simple stainless steel opener. But this turned out to be a keeper. It's design is contemporary and clean, although it looks like it should do something more profound than just pull a cork. It's also a conversation piece provoking smiles from guests. A pleasant surprise, highly recommended and especially so for a person who lacks hand or wrist strength.
 Doesn't work as promised April 11, 2007

I followed the instructions, many times, but still can't get the cork pulled out of the wine bottle.
The Oster wine opener cork-screw goes in just fine. However, instead of pulling out the cork, the cork-screw just reverses direction and comes out of the cork. I'm 75 and bought this after reading a review on how great it was for older folks with arthritis. Well, maybe I have a "lemon" but I certainly would love someone from Oster tell me is I'm doing something wrong.
Thank you for the opportunity to bring this to someone's attention
Great wine is just a button away!!!! April 10, 2007
This wine opener is the greatest thing invented. I love it almost more than I love the wine. Try it---you won't be dissapointed. It is so easy to use.
