OXO Steel Wine Bottle Opener with Foil Cutter - Stainless Finish, Black

I've bought so many similar products but this one works perfectly every time, effortlessly and uncomplicated. Far better than the rabbit

This wine bottle opener removes a cork quickly, smoothly and easily. Highly recommend!!

For the first 3.5 months, it worked great. Today it broke. Needless to say, my opinion of this product has changed. After the first couple weeks, I gave 5 stars. Today, I decrease the rating to 2 due to the shortness of life.

LOVE this!!! Easy to use and great for older hands. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, is that they break. The first lasted a year, second and 3rd about 6th months. Just got #4. Why not try something different? Well, I have, many, and this is far superior, except for the obvious.

I open a lot of wine bottles, well over 400 a year (no I don't drink *all* of them by myself). I have an electric opener (3rd one) a rabbit style with the opposing levers to grip the bottle (5th one) and have had and own countless angel and traditional (jack-knife style) corkscrews. I like the electrics, but they just don't last more than about a year. The other rabbit styles (using a plier like grip on the bottle) I've owned are wonky, eventually jam and/or need to be repaired, but even in use typically require more force than a simple angel opener. A well made angel style opener (good luck finding one) is nice but can still require a bit of finesse to remove the cork fully. While jack-knife style openers are traditional, very reliable and relatively easy to use, many folks are uncomfortable with them (they require practice to use well) and misuse can result in minor injury. THIS opener is awesome AND comes with the best foil cutter I've ever seen integrated in the opener (which means you aren't searching around for it). At first I was concerned that the device didn't come with a stand, but it rests upright just fine on its own. The action is smooth and requires little force. The design has you holding the neck of the bottle in your hand, not inches away on the end of a grip like the plier style "rabbit" as well as applying the force directly into remove the cork. This makes for a much better presentation when opening the wine in front of someone. Examination of the design and other reviews lead me to believe this opener will last a long time. I've been opening wine bottles using various devices (some not actually designed for the purpose) for over 40 years. This is my favorite opener ever.

I've had this corkscrew for nearly 10 years. I've probably opened hundreds, if not over 1000, bottles of wine with it. It works just as great today as the first day I got it. The foil cutter doesn't work great, but they main corkscrew function is nearly perfect - fast and easy!

I don't understand why I see bad reviews from 2018 listed first when I view this product. I bought mine in September 2021 and this review is written in January 2022. I don't know if the manufacturer has made changes since 2018 or not, but the foil cutter works perfectly every time I use it and the wine cork comes out easily and completely with ease every time I use this device. I cut the foil off and then put the lever in the full upright position, then slide the device over the neck of the wine bottle while slightly squeezing the two halves until i feel it sitting properly on the top of the bottle. I then firmly squeeze the two halves of the opener together and then slowly and deliberately press the lever down. At the bottom of the stroke while still squeezing the two halves together I slowly and deliberately lift the lever to the full upright position. I then slightly ease my grip on the two halves of the opener, lift it off of the bottle, then squeeze the two halves together and slide the lever back to the down position and out pops the cork that was removed from the bottle. I have never had a malfunction doing this procedure. I did have a minor problem one time after imbibing a little too much wine and trying to open a bottle without either setting it on top of the bottle correctly as previously explained or perhaps from not holding the two halves tightly enough. (after the bottle just about flew off the counter if I remember correctly my second attempt to open it went off smoothly). With that confession I will not make any comments regarding why other people have may be having problems using this fantastic device. ;)

I've had many different kinds of wine openers over the years. I won't use the kind which pry a cork out with either two long metal prongs on either side of the cork or with a metal leg that rests on the top rim of the bottle for leverage when prying--in both cases those kinds have chipped the glass bottle, leading me to dump the wine down the drain for fear of pieces of glass in the wine. I've had several of the two-arm type. They work fairly well but require a twisting motion which I find less and less comfortable the older I get. Some have eventually broken (usually the arm breaks) and all of them are a pain to get the cork off of. This opener is excellent. It requires little force to insert the corkscrew into the cork, extract the cork from the bottle and eject the cork from the opener when finished. In both cases, it involves a lever motion (either up or down), which is easier and less painful than a twisting motion. It's a nice feature that the foil cutter stores directly on the opener where it is easily removed and easily replaced. This is also the style of foil cutter I prefer by far (compared to, say, a dangerous, sharp knife edge which can easily slip off the bottle and add some additional red color to your wine). Unfortunately, this is the least effective cutter of this type I've ever used (even compared to dirt-cheap ones). Many times it simply dents the foil rather than cutting it. If I press *really* hard in just the right place, it shreds the foil into thin strips. I don't know whether the problem is the blade wheels aren't sharp enough, or whether the plastic body of the cutter which surrounds the blade wheels prevents them from cutting deep enough into the foil to cut through it. There are some bottles it works fine with and it seems to work with bottles which have a plastic wrap rather than a metal foil, but most of the time it is a time-consuming effort. I suppose I could just get another brand of foil cutter of that type, but I really like being able to store the cutter on the opener...

I have had a number of modern cork screws with varying degrees of success. I tried this one because it had good reviews and I like it. One secret is to make certain the lever goes up slightly the other side of centre as there is a slightly tight spot at the top. By going right over centre, it removes the cork successfully and with much less effort than the Rabbit type units. The foil cutter works well too.

Al principio creí que no servía porque la primer botella que abrí empujó el corcho hacia el interior. Me di cuenta que venía mal acomodada la pieza que atraviesa el corcho, la coloqué en la posición correcta y listo funciona de maravilla. Tengo ya 10 meses con el y lo uso al menos 2 veces a la semana y sigue como nuevo.

Excelente produto, preço acessível, vendedor confiável Recomendo muito

This was great. Easy to use and smooth operation. Surprised close friends during a couple parties! That's a bonus.
