Breaks too easily October 11, 2008 This would be a decent product if it didn't break after so little use. I'll bet I didn't even open 20 bottles of wine before it broke. The company, MIU FRANCE, doesn't even respond to emails. It can't be returned to Amazon since I bought it awhile ago, although I never used it much until recently. Very disappointing.
I regret this purchase. :( September 8, 2008 I'm very disappointed in this purchase! My parents have a corkscrew that has the same design but obviously by a better manufacturer. Tonight I decided to try to open a bottle of wine with it for the first time and it was AWFUL!! I am going to go back to the old cheap corkscrew I use on camping trips. I had to seriously struggle to get the screw into AND out of the cork. I'm 27 and very active but it was a workout trying to use this thing. I shouldn't have had to struggle nearly as much as I did. I tried another cork right after, and it was just as hard. Granted it was used... however the seller said it was like new. From what I can tell it is just seriously cheap design.
Poorly Designed September 5, 2008 I bought this item thinking that I would have a dependable corkscrew. But after relatively light use a bit of plastic broke and the corkscrew simply didn't work any longer. I noticed several other similar reviews. It was a waste of my money and I feel that my purchase price should be refunded.
Not durable - avoid August 23, 2008 Purchased 2 of these, one for me, one as a gift in Dec. 2007. Initially worked great, but both broke within 6 months after what I'd consider light to moderate use (one to three bottles opened per week). Pick a different one.
I'll read the reviews more carefully in the future August 21, 2008 Like others I bought this item only to have it fail after 2 months. For the first month, it worked well hence the two star review. Since there is no path to repair (deliberately I suspect), I'll buy a different brand from some other source.
