"What a great product! Will save me time and strain on my hand." 2008-08-30

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RIZ08U6I1VB06 This is my first video review of a product, and the very first time I used this product. It's a simple product to use, and works well.
UPDATE 6/16/2009
I must say, while the product works as indicated in the video, about a month ago, I heard a loud "crack", and the corkscrew simply broke off inside the unit. I took the unit apart to see if I could do a quick repair and there was no easy way to do that.
Based on that shoddy construction, and it only lasting less than a year, I can't really fully endorse this product.

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.
"Best Wine Opener Ever!!" 2006-12-13

I have a whole menagerie of wine openers and NOTHING compares to this Oster opener. I have bought them for gifts too and everyone loves them! I don`t think you`ll be disappointed in the least!!

This product makes opening a bottle of wine effortless. Any wine drinker with Arthritis or Carpal tunnel (like me) should own this. You do need one hand on the bottle and one on the opener to keep them from rotating, then just hold the rocker switch down. It has a sleek look and fits in on your bar or counter. A great gift!
"SO Great!!" 2006-06-15

Oh, how I love this product!!! I received it as a gift, so I didn't really have any expectations when I opened it to try it out...but OMG!!! If you open wine often (as I do) there's no way you can't find the Oster to be AMAZING!!! It really does open bottles-just hit the "up" arrow and it takes the corks right out....in like, 30 seconds, no less! Then, hit the down arrow to make it give the cork right back to you-even quicker! With NO damage-you can place it right back to stopper the open bottle.
To be honest, I can't believe this only costs $20-it is amazing and I love love LOVE it-and you will too!!
