Great gift for wine lovers - but skip the stopper!, June 21, 2009

Recieved this as a gift, and absolutely love it! Although, I do admit to wondering how lazy I was to need an electric opener or if it'd really work that well to justify it. It does. I've had every type of… wine opener and this one is the most durable and easy to use. There's a great foil cutter and a handy place to store it on the base - so I don't have to dig around looking for one. The only reason I've given this 4-stars are that the stopper and pourer aren't all that great. As a gift they make a nice package, but the stopper just doesn't seal well enough to lay bottles on their side without leaking. Since, I'm now purchasing this as a gift for other folks, I know the stopper and pourer aren't really "FREE". This version costs more than the regular opener (Oster 4207 Electric Wine Opener, I'd recommend buying just the opener and another good stopper or the Oster 4208 Inspire Electric Wine Opener with Wine Chiller for gifts. Bottom Line: Great opener and great gift for wine lovers - though I'd skip this version with the "free" pourer and stopper in favor of just the opener or another combo.

So long Rabbit Corkscrew openers, May 12, 2009
Did not expect much from this in truth. I was very pleasantly surprised! It does not take up much space and makes opening wine bottles a snap! It comes with a foil cutter that sits right at the top/back of the charger unit. Foil cutter works well.
Best wine bottle opener out there!, December 23, 2008
I have tried numerous bottle openers, all with varying degrees of success (cork in the bottle, etc). I saw this at a friends house and immediately bought one for myself. Once it's charged, as advertised it will open dozens of bottles before needing to be recharged. I bought this as a Christmas present for friends knowing they will love it, too.
