Review on 🍾 Effortlessly Uncork with the Ozeri Pro Electric Wine Bottle Opener in Silver by Mary Freedom

Tried several manual wine bottle openers; simple designs like a metal corkscrew on a wooden handle through complex mechanisms like the "bunny". In my opinion there is too much plastic in the "Rabbit" for serious wine lovers. I open a bottle almost every night and my rabbit lasted less than a year before the plastic around one of the pivots cracked and broke. My basic corkscrew is still intact, but for stubborn corks this is a poor choice as there is no leverage. This is the first electric wine bottle opener I have ever bought. I've been using it for almost two months, so I can say I've opened about 50 bottles. The foil cutter is great; it is conveniently stored in a slot on the back of the base charger. The nose is very beautiful; At first I thought it was some kind of trick but now I use it all the time as it hardly drips and the cork is put in to seal the unfinished bottle. Operation is simple, although there is some room for improvement here. . But overall I am very happy with the device. Here is a picture of using this opener: 1) Remove the foil with a foil cutter. In my experience only moderate pressure is required as it is sharp! 2) Put the opener on the neck of the wine bottle. Hold the bottle so it doesn't rotate. Press the opener with moderate force (otherwise the corkscrew won't pierce the cork) and press the bottom button (eject). 3) As the corkscrew begins to pull the cork out, switch to very light upward pressure on the opener. This way you can tell when the cork is out and take your thumb off the eject button. The device does not have auto reverse. You only need to apply a very light upward pressure as the device will do all the work of removing the cork. You just have to be able to tell when it's done (it's obvious, don't worry). You will know when the corkscrew has started popping the cork because the hand holding the wine bottle will feel the difference in torque (rotational force) the opener applies to the bottle. As soon as the cork breaks off the glass bottle and begins to stretch, the torque drops sharply. One bottle and you'll see what I mean. 4) As soon as the cork is removed from the bottle. Stop pressing the bottom "Eject" button and press the top "Release" button. The cork will fall out of the bottom of the opener after a few seconds and you're done. Here's what kept me from giving this bottle opener five stars: 1) The user has to take some special steps to start the corkscrew. The housing of the device does not exert any significant pressure on the wine bottle itself. To start them, you need to hold the bottle and press hard on the opener (to put pressure on the corkscrew). If you don't hold the bottle tight, the corkscrew will rotate it, and if you don't push hard, the corkscrew won't screw itself into the cork. 2) It does not flip (to loosen the cork) when the cork is removed from the bottle.
