Oster Quick Electric Wine Bottle Opener

I had to change my review here. I bought this product in May and it already is a lemon which is a polite way to put it. It worked well enough for about six weeks but now refuses to open bottles. I say this meaning when you press the down button (which pulls out the cork) nothing happens. No sound, no motion, no nothing. I have this thing fully charged too.I contacted the seller and requested a replacement and have heard radio silence from them.

First, I would like to start off by saying this is the third wine bottle opener from Oster that I have purchased and the same model. I had to buy replacements because the first one I damaged myself by inserting it into the cork a bit crooked, and the second I carelessly left in a hotel room.I truly enjoyed this wine bottle opener, which is why I went back to it again. I believe it is well priced for the product and does the job easily and efficiently. Much easier than the do-it-yourselfers where you have to work hard to get the bottle open!For some reason, the one I purchased in late March 2017 just won’t hold a charge and I followed the instructions per the user guide. When I try to use it, the cork takes a long time to come out of the bottle and then the mechanism will not release the cork so I have to manually work it out myself making it much more difficult than a handheld. As for a return, it’s far past the date. You only get a month to return it to Amazon. When I called customer service at Oscar, the line had six callers ahead of me and I just don’t feel this product is worth the time and effort to go through the motions of getting a warranty replacement. I’ll just try something new!

At first I thought mine was broken but I was doing it wrong!1. Cut the wrapper with the cutter that it comes with (little loop hooked onto the back of the charger stand).2. PUSH DOWN ON THE WINE OPENER WITH PRESSURE while pressing the down arrow button as you hold the bottle as well.3. Once the wine opener feels a little loose, that means the cork is out.4. Remove the wine opener to reveal the open bottle.5. Press the upward arrow to release to cork.CHEERS!

I like to keep a simple on my reviews and only answer what people really care about. I do not do pictures or videos as I have a job and this does not pay my bills, it is just a way to help the regular Joe like me make an informed decision. I do not get free or discounted products for review, you will get my unbiased review of product.Does it work?Yes, I bought this for opening wine bottles and it does not disappoint.Is it easy to use?YesPros:Works as intendedCons:NoneNote:Drink responsibly

When I first saw this wine opener I had a, “I’ve got to have it moment.” After purchasing this item I was in heaven, opening wine bottles was a breeze, the foil cutter is awesome, and I love the long battery life on this opener. I loved this product so much I bought multiple for gifts for friends/family members. 6 months later, the down button (which removes the cork from the bottle) stops working, knowing that Oster aka Sunbeam Products aka Jarden Consumer Solutions has a 1 year limited warranty (stated in product manual) I wasn’t worried. I emailed customer service about my issue, 3 weeks later I got a response requesting information in order to process the return. The same day I respond to the email with all the information asked, another week goes by without a response. I email customer service to make sure they received my email with all my information and not only did they let me know they did receive my email but the product was “no longer covered under warranty”. I responded to customer service with the exact words from their handbook stating that their product has a one year warranty and have yet to get a response. So if you are thinking about purchasing this wine opener, keep scanning for something else. This is not the one for you.TLDR; Don’t buy this product, it is not made well and customer service isn’t interested in fulfilling their warranty.

This is the third one of these that we’ve had, and I’ll have to look for a different brand for the next one. The first one worked for a couple of years (2013-2014), and when it stopped working, we didn’t replace it quickly. Then the next one worked for a year, and we didn’t replace it quickly (our favorite wine has a screw top); we only use it about once a month. I bought this one in June, and it stopped working in the middle of July. It is stored in an out of the way place, it is always plugged in, it’s clean, it’s safe, and it’s unreliable. My return window ran out on July 1st, so here I am with a practically new device that doesn’t work, and I have no recourse. As far as function, it’s great. As far as reliability, it’s isn’t.

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!

Me gustó mucho. Al principio, si te confundes, crees que no funciona. Pero luego vez que sí ayuda. Solo sostén bien la botella para que no gire junto al corcho y pueda salir este sin problemas. La batería dura bastante. Llegó en perfectas condiciones.

No le he dado mucho uso aun ya que no tomo mucho vino, asi que posteriormente si es necesario modificaré mi opinion. Por lo pronto puedo decir que el aparato ha funcionado muy bien, se siente resistente aunque para mi gusto es demasiado grande y podria resultar algo estorboso en espacios pequeños. En general estoy bastante satisfecho. Buena compra.
