 don't let the battery dieMay 20, 2009
By JAXANDPEYTONSMOM
This works very well. I got a Rabbit at the same time and used this more. It really is effort free. That said it does have a significant design flaw. If you let the battery die (drop below 2V) it will not recharge. This is what Waring told me. Since it is still under warranty they will replace it, and they now recommend keeping it on the charger when not in use. If they fix this stupid design flaw I would give it 5 stars.

 Cool ToolNov 20, 2008
By C. Beck
This is the next best thing to sliced bread! We've had ours for about a month now and open wine every evening to have with dinner. I was successful the very first time I used it, and I've never looked back! One literally holds it vertically on top of a bottle of wine, after using the handing foil cutter that comes with it, push down gently to make sure the bottle neck is seated in the opener, push the "down" arrow and wait until its quiet whirring stops. Presto! The cork is gone. Push the up arrow while holding your hand under the device and the cork is released into your hand. I love the this item. We have not had to recharge it since we got it. The box says it will open 80 bottles without a recharge, and I believe it! You won't be sorry if you buy it-good price here at Amazon too!

Pros and consJan 31, 2010
By Amazonbombshell
I purchased this for professional use at a tasting bar. I open dozens to hundreds of bottles each week, and have sustained a fairly serious repetitive stress injury to one of my wrists as a result. This bottle opener does alleviate much of the stress on wrists and forearms that do a lot of twisting (dominant hand) or clamping (non-dominant hand.) It's also compact, lightweight, and easy enough to keep charging if you have an electrical outlet behind your bar. The included foil cutter easily makes a nice, clean cut all the way around. The action of the mechanism is quite simple and very cool: when it works, it's fast and easy to use.
There is, unfortunately, one thing this product is not: reliable. Customers love it, but I no longer open bottles in front of them, because if you do not get the machine aligned EXACTLY with the cork, it will not work. It will, instead, chew up your cork, get itself stuck in the neck of the bottle, and require you to use your handy waiter's corkscrew to rescue the situation.
Bottom line: if you need something to help take the stress off tender joints, it's worth your money. (Just don't use it when you're in a hurry.) If you're a gadget freak, skip this one.

 Wait Until Your First Broken CorkJun 04, 2009
By John Hanbury
And then you will have to return this product or throw it away.
This opener works great until you have your first broken cork. you will not be able to extract the part of the cork inside the unit. It is designed so that it cannot be opened to extract the cork.
Our first one lasted a couple of weeks until we had a broken cork. The replacement suffered the same fate.
As most wine drinkers know, it is only a question of "when," not "if" you have a broken cork. When you do, this product is toast.

DsappointingJan 19, 2009
By M. Gavin
I bought this item for my husband for Christmas. While it was a hit for the first 3 weeks of using it, it no longer works. It's fully charged but it won't unscrew a bottle. I initially liked it and so did he because he's a gadget guy and we drink a lot of wine. Sadly it's going to have to go to the landfill since I doubt I can return it in amazon. Oh well.
