Easy to be a wino now!
Struggling with the other types of openers wasn't really a problem but my wife found them difficult, so this was a present.
Using it is a piece of cake!
Cut off the foil - hold the opener on top with one hand and the bottle with the other and press the rocker switch.
Whirrrr until it stops ... and you will find that the cork is completely off!
OK, now for the "hard" part - getting rid of the cork. Reverse the rocker switch and whirr (aim at the trash can) and the cork "pop"s out into the trash.
Pour, sit back and savor the wine.
Quick and easy!
I drink a lot more wine now!
I have the typical corkscrew, the corkscrew where you turn the center screw and the handles come up and you lever them down to pull the cork, and the restaurant style that levers the cork out, the rabbit style, the two flat prong style, and have tried and tossed the air pump type... and this beats the others hands down.
More expensive, but if you can afford it and drink a...
Poor quality
After purchasing two cheap electric corkscrews from Target which failed within two months, we thought we would try a more "upscale", "quality" product. NOT!! Save your $$$, stick with the "non electric" corkscrews.
Love this corkscrew, mine has opened over 500 bottles!
This rechargeable electric corkscrew from Peugeot works like a charm. Believe it or not, it's opened way more than 500 bottles and it works flawlessly. So far it seems to average around 50 bottles before needing to be recharged over night. It's very easy to use, place it on the bottle, hold the base of the bottle and hold the unit (securely as it has a very powerful motor), use your thumb to push down on the power button and wait until it automatically shuts off and you have an open bottle of wine. Touch the up button on the unit and it will reverse and remove the cork from inside the unit. One caveat, I would recommend using a high quality old fashioned waiters corkscrew if you're opening a very mature bottle of wine with a potentially delicate cork. Works very well in synthetic corks also!
