Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 4207 Electric Wine-Bottle Opener
Customer Review: An amazing opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my wife for Christmas, knowing we wanted something a little more fun than the very useful Screwpull pocket model that has served us well. When we opened the box and looked this over, we were somewhat doubtful this could do the job. But after charging it for a few hours we could not resist applying it to a bottle of white wine.
With the family gathered around, we all went "Wow" when the cork simply disappeared into the bottom of the unit. It didn't take long to figure out how to get the cork out.
We used this opener at a New Year's Eve wine party, and our guests were impressed. We could have opened an extra case or two of wine just for the entertainment!
So far it has worked flawlessly.
Customer Review: Fast and easy
Summary: 5 Stars
I will admit I had some trouble using this at first because I was so impatient to get to my wine. Once I learned to wait for the unit to do its thing, I had to do nothing else. I was so accustomed to having to put in some kind of struggle to get my corks out, I was in a bit of disbelief. Now that I have used this opener a few more times, it has become so easy to operate. Push down on the switch until you hear the cork pop out. Then push up on the switch to get the cork released. Just make sure that before you start, you center the screw to the middle of the cork as much as possible because there is a little bit of wiggle room. This will help prevent your cork from fragmenting on the outer areas, as some people have experienced.Customer Review: Works great as expected. Wonderful presents for all.

I got 4 of these electric corkscrews with the buy 3 get 1 free Amazon offer. I gave these out to friends and relatives as cheap, but stylish Christmas gifts and kept one for myself.
It was the talk of Christmas at my girlfriend's house. It worked perfectly and is great for wine connosieurs and people that have trouble opening wine.
In addition, people were marvelling at the stylish looks and small footprint on kitchen counters.
The base plugs into the wall and you can rest the corkscrew on the base to charge. While charging, a little red light lights up at the top of the corkscrew. People were surprisingly amazed by this. (Don't ask me why -- It does look very stylish though.)
Customer Review: Amazingly easy wine opener
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally got this at Costco after reading all the reviews. Just try opening a bottle of wine and it is soooooooo easy, I can't believe it. The cutter come in handy and I do not need to use the knife. All you need to do is continue pushing the down button, it will go down and up and remove the cork for you. I have read other reviewers and it is not working for them because they push the down and up button at the same down. The up button is used only for removing the cork from the opener. This is such a handy tool and sure we can entertain more and enjoy more wine more often. What a smart invention compare to the rabbit ear. It also looks very stylish on the bar table. Would recommend this to everyone.Customer Review: Almost too easy!

I received this for Christmas...somewhat skeptical....having used at least at least 5 different types of openers previously. However I have to say this one is pretty darn good! Use the included foil cutter, then put the unit over the cork and push the down button...wait until it stops, and you will see the cork is gone! Push the up button, and the cork drops into your hand or on the countertop. Have not had a problem.
Yes, it takes up some counter space..so what. And the little red light is always on, regardless of battery strength, etc. Oh well, a night lite!
Update: Have now used continuously for three months - don't want to estimate how many bottles! Has worked every time.
