I own this exact opener. I’ve had it for 10 years I bet. It is just now starting to slow. Down and not have the power it used to. I was shopping for replacement when I saw this listed. Had to comment since it’s been so reliable. Can’t comment on how long the charge last because I always return to the cradle. Takes up very little space. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. Now to decide if I want to upgrade or replace in kind!!!I previously purchased this product, and it worked well for about 6 years. Then the unit body developed a slimy, sticky feeling when you handled it. I tried cleaning it with various detergents and degreasers but that sticky feel just would not go away. I put up with that for about 2 more years and then the rechargeable battery finally gave out. Overall, I was satisfied with the performance and with the 8 year service life I got out of it even though I was unable to figure out the slime part.I bought this to replace one that didn't seem to keep a charge. It works; however, I would like it more if I could see inside it... if it were made of transparent rather than silver plastic... and I'm not too sure if I have figured out how to determine if it has a full charge or not. Nonetheless, it does the job, and I use it often! I would recommend.It's plastic...but it's good plastic. Appears sturdy enough. The charging base and wall charger are normal. I already have too many of them. A USB-C charge port might have been better. I bought this during a sales event on a whim. NYTimes "Wirecutter" recommended it because of the pricing ($17) and qualityBut the charger is now in a drawer and we'll see how long the battery lasts. Very simple to use and, so far, it has performed very well. A storage slot for the foil cutter is handy. Because fewer and fewer affordable wines come with a cork, the wisdom of spending even this small amount on this product seems questionable. But it is truly easier than any of my manual wine openers.This is the second electric wine opener I have bought. The first one lasted for years, then started having problems pulling the cork out. I shopped at Amazon for a new and improved opener, but ended up buying the exact same one that is was replacing. I figure if it works, why change?Purchased as a gift coupled with a wine rack. Hoping the quality is greatPretty reliable product. No complaints to date. Lots of shaving to be done, so I get my moneys worth.This wine opener is so easy to use! I give it as a gift often!Lo compré en oferta y creo que en precio, es muy bueno. También creo qué hay que tomarse tiempo para “agarrarle el modo” ya que no me ha sido fácil el sacar el corcho, se lleva su tiempo. Pero la última vez se me hizo más sencillo por lo que pienso que es cosa de práctica.Después de unos meses el sacacorchos se descompuso; como había descrito anteriormente, siempre fue complicado su uso, pensé que practicando se me facilitaría pero fue muy decepcionante que a la larga el aparato se descompusiera y quedara inservible; ya no tuve opción de hacer válida alguna garantía.Muy fácil de usar una vez que le agarras el modo (las primeras veces no sabes como empezarle, pero una vez que usas el abridor un par de veces y ya le entiendes). No ha fallado una sola vez. Lleva ya meses de uso. Se recarga en su stand y la batería dura bastante con uso constante. No le pongo ningún pero. Se me hizo un precio muuuuy razonable.Non-replaceable batteries, Nicd batteries, LED light doesn't turn green when charged!!!Do I need to say more!!!In a world that we are trying to reduce garbage and use more renewable energy, this design is not acceptable any more!!!The product information page on Amazon didn't explain any of the above otherwise I would have never purchase it.SE LLAMA SACACORCHO. NO SACA EL CORCHO. LO ELECTRICO ES RELATIVO. HAY QUE HACER MUCHA FUERZA Y AUNA SI ES POCO PRACTICO Y NO FACILITA EN NADA LA EXTRACCION. UNO MANUAL QUE CUESTA 10 VECES MENOS FUNCJONA MEJOR. LASTIMA.Es un producto recomendable, de buena calidad, la marca lo avala, solo debe uno cuidar mantenerlo completamente vertical a la botella al momento de retirar un corcho, de lo contrario se traba, es cuestión de práctica!
