Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for a simple, low cost, cordless electric wine bottle opener for opening traditional sized wine bottles with ease.

Pros:

• This wine bottle opener is available in three elegant finishes (Silver, Merlot, and Champagne).
• The unit measures a mere 10-3/4 inches tall and 2-1/4 inches in diameter, so its compact enough to fit nicely on the smallest of countertops. The soft grip handle ensures a comfortable grip as you open a bottle.
• The compact charging base features a power light to indicate when the unit is switched on. From one full charge, you can open about 30 bottles.
• One button operation with up/down functionality makes the bottle opener a doddle to use in just 3 simple and easy steps. Just press the down button on the unit then the corkscrew turns into the cork to penetrate it then removes it from your bottle in one piece in just a matter of seconds. One thing to keep mind is that you should hold the device vertically over the bottle for the best results and to avoid the corkscrew becoming bent.
• The inclusion of a foil cutter allows you to remove the foil seals from bottles automatically. The foil cutter is stored on the charging base for convenient access.

Cons:

• It takes about 6-8 hours to fully charge the unit. However, this shouldn’t be a problem unless you open more than 30 bottles a day.
• The long term durability of this bottle opener isn’t great with a lifespan of approximately 3 years (depending on usage). However, its affordable price still makes it great value overall despite this.
• It doesn’t work too well on plastic type corks.

Guarantee: 1-year warranty.

Summary

The Oster Electric Wine Bottle Opener is a great device for making opening your wine bottles that much easier on your hands than using a manual cork screw. Many people with arthritis have said it works well for them due to its soft grip handle and simple operation.

This is highly recommended for any lovers of wine.
