Reviewers and owners say that if you prefer an electric wine opener, the Oster Inspire Cordless Wine Opener is a good choice. It is elegant in design, and quickly and easily removes the cork. Reviewers also praise the Oster for its ease of use. The Oster Inspire will remove up to 30 corks on one charge, according to owners, but we did not find a professional test to verify this claim. Some owners had difficulty operating the Oster Inspire; others complained of its durability and stability while pulling the cork. Keep in mind that you'll need to keep the Oster wine opener charged up, and that because it's an electric appliance, it's noisy. Still, reviewers say electric wine openers are good for parties, where you might need to open a lot of bottles.

The best reviews for the Oster Inspire Cordless Wine Opener are found at Cook's Illustrated magazine and ConsumerReports.org, both of which compare the Oster to a couple other electric wine openers. We found hundreds of owner reviews at Amazon.com, where the vast majority of users express satisfaction. We found fewer user comments at Target.com and RateItAll.com.
