Great wine opener, makes opening and preserving bottles of wine extremely simple. I love the recharging base that is included.

I'm really impressed with this wine bottle opener! I thought it was going to be some what of a gimmick, but it turns out that it really is a great little bottle opener. It's sleek, well made and works! You charge it up, lights up the whole clear window blue (which I could live without as it remains lit the whole time it charges) but once charged, the blue LED light goes out. After trimming off the foil from the top of the wine bottle, place the bottom of the opener on top of the wine bottle and press the down button. The corkscrew winds down and pierces the cork in the bottle. Press the up button and the bottle opener pulls the cork out of the bottle, easily and cleanly. Once the wine bottle is open, you then press the down button again, and the cork slowly unwinds from the corkscrew and is deposited out of the bottom. Works perfectly every time. Very simple to use.

I bought this when it was a Deal of the Day and it is the easiest opener I’ve used to date. Most openers require you to push down on the cork to get it going. This opener eliminated that. All you do is stand the opener on top of the bottle, aligned with the cork and it does all the work for you. It also comes with two wine stoppers and the top part of the opener is a like a vacuum sealer for those stoppers. I bought another one for my mom, because she has arthritis in her hands and shoulders and it was becoming difficult for her to open a bottle. She absolutely loves this product. It doesn’t look or feel cheap at all. This is a perfect gift to give any wine lover, for Christmas, birthdays, or as a house-warming gift.

The hands are getting older and more boney, so using a corkscrew has become a hassle. I bought this opener thinking it might work but no great loss if it didn't (considering the sale price). I was pleasantly surprised: it works great and continues to work well five months since its purchase. Only once did a cork get wedged inside the unit; this wasn't much of a problem to remove and otherwise, its use has been flawless.

I thought all electric wine openers were created equal until I had to replace my first Modal unit after a fire. Nope! I bought another Modal model (Modal™ - Rechargeable Wine Opener and Preserver Set - Black) because it had more accessories and just all around looked fancier and after finding that I literally had to charge it after every bottle opened, leaving me frustrated and temporarily thirsty, I broke down and repurchased this one.
