Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 4207 Electric Wine-Bottle Opener
Customer Review: Excellent opener requires very little effort to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this opener as a gift and at first I scoffed at the idea. It honestly seemed kind of lame, but after using it a couple times I quickly changed my tune. It is effortless to use (really - those people that have complaints or experience damage might be using too much force... more on that later). After the friend who gave this to me saw it in action, she ended up getting one herself along with a few others to give as more gifts. This thing is so great, I even bought another one to use at a winery I work at part-time. The entire staff there loves it, and it's been in regular, industry-level use for nearly a year with no sign of wearing out. Even the patrons at the wine bar marvel at this great device. Unfortunately, I dropped mine. I didn't expect it to work at all after that, but it actually does (which is why I still rate it 5 stars), although the contacts for the switch are a little off now. This is just an annoyance - one which might eventually make me want to replace it.
Now for a suggestion to those who break their units. Even the video review seems to be using this incorrectly. Only a very small amount of downward force is required when you start using it. Once you feel the screw catch onto the cork, stop giving all downward force and let the device to all the work by itself. It will extract the cork without you pressing down, and then you can eject the cork automatically. If you apply too much downward force, you're actually causing the device to work harder than it needs to, and could potentially damage it.
As an added bonus, the foil cutter that came with this unit is by far the best I've used (and I've had a lot of these cheap pieces come through my home). Usually they're cheap plastic 'wheel blades' inside, but this one actually has two sturdy METAL blades inside which cut the foil like no one's business!
**Update** I love this opener even more after comparing it to the Metrokane Electric Rabbit Corkscrew! I initially thought I might be wanting to "upgrade" to the Metrokane, but after using it for a couple weeks, I hate it. It's heavier, slower, and doesn't always pull the cork all the way out of the bottle like the Oster does so well. It's also more than TWICE the price!! The only thing I like better about the Metrokane is the LCD display which shows how many pulls are left on the charge, though I don't even know how accurate it is. If you're looking into these wine openers, save yourself some money and get this Oster!
