Rating: - Disappointing
I purchased this product on May 3, 2008 after having my last cork pull for 8 years. I was expecting this product to last at least a year or two but; to my disappointment it only lasted about 8 weeks. The pull never tracked correctly and finally broke. I have learned that not all cork pulls are alike. Hopefully, I will have better luck with the next one.
Rating: - works well, but we'll see how long it lasts
I've only used this on two bottles. It sure makes the opening easier, but.....it doesn't look very well made, so I don't know how many bottles I can expect it to open.
Rating: - Works great
Some of these don't work all that well, or get cranky after a while--this one operates smoothly and holds up. If you've never owned one of these, you have no idea how simple opening wine bottles can be! I bought one for my 88-year old mother who is not able to use other types easily (I know, how much wine is she drinking?)and she is happily popping corks again. You go grandma!
Rating: - MIU Corkscrew didn't pull a single cork
This corkscrew didn't pull a single cork.
However the MIU Corkscrew pushed corks into the two bottles that I tried. Therefore I am calling it a "cork pusher".
Will return this to Amazon, one of my favorite sellers, and who has a sterling return policy.
I am recommending to Amazon that you discontinue this item from your offerings and return all stock to the manufacturer for a full credit. This plan will save future grief for Amazon.
Rating: - Not bad for the price
The first one lasted us 2 1/2 years, not too bad for $30, and we use it a lot! Our first one died, the plastic just broke so there was no fixing it, but it worked great up until then, so at the sale price I'm getting another one. It is very easy to use, and I really like the cutter that comes with it.
