Amazon.com Product Description
The next best thing to an in-house sommelier, this professional-quality wine opener offers the same impressive performance and stylish design as corkscrews that cost far more. Made from durable, nickel-plated, zinc alloy with easy-grip, ergonomic handles, it uses metal gears to extract corks in seconds. The entire process requires minimal effort, and best of all, there are never bits of mangled cork floating around in the bottle afterwards. This MIU France wine opener comes with an extra corkscrew, an attractive presentation stand, and a foil cutter to prepare bottles for opening. This product is dishwasher-safe, and has a lifetime warranty.

Worked Well For A While August 4, 2008
I owned the thing for about 2 years, during which it worked as advertised. Was actually very pleased with it until, all of a sudden, it stopped lifting the cork out of the bottle. Instead of lifting the cork out, the plunger just unscrewed, leaving the cork in the bottle. Examination revealed that a small plastic part had broken, rendering the product useless. A part, I might mention, that was not replaceable. What good is solid metal construction, if a small plastic part is on the critical path? So much for lifetime warranty.

Great opener July 21, 2008
I bought this January 2006, and it's still going strong. We got one in 2003, and it broke for some reason, I can't remember, so I replaced it with this one. It's so easy, it opens and removes the cork in 2 motions that take 3 seconds. Like the one star review, I too have an engineering degree. I'm not sure how that pertains to reviewing a bottle opener, but to each his own!

easiest corkscrew ever July 19, 2008
I've struggled with several other lever type corkscrews, and forget the bartender's friend (no friend of mine)! This corkscrew works well and is easy to use. I've had mine for a year and still haven't needed to use the spare screw. I'm buying another one for our wine club so I can no longer fight the myriad of corkscrews we have that I just can't make work (it's me, but why not get the product that works well for those of us who are mechanically challenged....)

The Wine Needs to be Opened easily !! July 17, 2008
Scince I couldn't find the other companies, same Kind of Priced Corkscrew. For the Pice...any Price these are Great. Easy to Use, of course after the First Time!!! The cap-Knife (circular, and in a Horse shoe shaped Inclosed handle , works Just as Good as the Others, its a learned Nack. The Opener-made where else, Will Hold up Nicely for a Long Tine, and Work Great. Don't put in Dish washer, and the Less you drop it !! It Stand took some time to appreciate, but like I Implied, They Don't make the Other Variation-basically the same 20 something $ mechanical opener- and will Keep the Opener from Falling. THIS IS STURDY, and Does the JOB very NIcely !! woth it !!

Worked for one bottle of wine July 16, 2008
I purchased this opener after my previous one (same style, more expensive manufacturer) broke after two years of faithful service. After using this opener one time, it was rendered useless. The threading for the hinge was stripped. This is the same problem that killed my other opener, but it took two years to get to that point.

It's worth the money to spend a few extra dollars to get a reputable corkscrew.
