Cuisinart CWO 25 Electric Opener Stainless Review

The first thing that struck me was the quality in appearance. I bought three electric wine openers. Two were gifts. All worked well, but this one matched it in terms of power and stylish looks. If you are serious about your wine this is for you!

.and after opening 3 bottles of wine the cork got stuck and everything.garbage. If you return it, stay away, don't even try to return it. I think you get what you pay for. If you want to take out the cork, you have to take it apart, which voids any useless guarantee Cuisinart offers.

Terrible! Broke on first 3 uses. Contacted Conair/Cuisinart and after a few weeks they said they would replace the unit but I had the inconvenience of having to return the broken unit ALONG with a $10 check. No thank you. I have friends who broke after a few uses too. Do not buy this item. There are other more reliable wine openers on the market.

Unfortunately I haven't found any with a long battery life. I've had it for a few months and it gives a good workout. I can already say that the forces are exhausted. For $20 if it lasts a year I'll be happy. I wish they would make devices like they used to that are made to last, but then they wouldn't make as much money. Looks nice and doesn't take up much space. If I need to buy again I'll definitely look at others.

Once you know the opener needs to be vertically aligned with the bottle, it works great, pulling the cork out of the bottle with the push of a button and then you take it a cork from one opener to another. The opener is surprisingly powerful and requires a firm grip on the bottle and opener. It is easier if the bottle is placed on a table or other horizontal surface. The battery is enough for several dozen bottles.

This appears to be a well designed device and I love the way the foil cutter is tucked away neatly behind the opener. Less than a year old, only used a few times. The last two times I've used it the opener seems to have lost its charger halfway through opening the bottle. The last time the cork got stuck. I thought it was an anomaly but looking at the reviews I see I'm not alone. Save money and choose another product. Very disappointed; I expected more from Cuisinart.

I bought this item after using the same one at a friend's. The only reason I gave it four stars is that it takes a bit of practice to use and once during the first few times I used it the cap on one of the bottles broke off when I was trying to remove the cork . Other than that I haven't had any issues and the fact that it comes with a foil cutter that can be hidden in the base is a bonus. I would recommend it to anyone who is considering buying it but can't decide if it's worth it.

Stops working after about a dozen uses. The block no longer removes the plug - it simply stops working when it meets resistance. It's still covered by the manufacturer's warranty: They charge $10 to ship you a new one, PLUS you have to ship the power cord back at your own expense. No thank you! My manual fender corkscrew works just fine. Also, the device takes up too much counter space and consumes electricity. (They recommend leaving the charger plugged in.) It was an impulse buy that I regret
