About Brookstone Electric Wine Opener & Foil Cutter with Stand
Overall Feedback:
89% positive
88% liked the battery life, but 12% needed frequent recharging
I suspect that straining the motor may shorten its life, but I cannot say for sure.
I am disappointed that the wine opener requires 4 AA batteries instead of a lithium rechargeable battery.
88% appreciated the effortless cork removal, but 12% experienced difficulties
I wish the wine opener had a sharper and more stable screw that engaged the cork better.
81% praised the compact design, while 19% didn't
I compared the new model with the old one and found it to be more substantially built all around. The motor is noticeably stronger and it operates both more quickly and more quietly than its predecessor.
The foil cutter is a bit oversized, making it a little awkward to use. However, I expect it is designed to give it stability when used as a storage base.
The product has a sleek design, but it is disappointing that it requires 4 AA batteries instead of a lithium rechargeable battery.
91% found it easy to operate
This electric wine opener is easy to operate and feels more substantially built all around, including a noticeably stronger motor, operating both more quickly and more quietly than its predecessor.
This wine opener is easy to use and feels solid, with only 2 buttons controlling the direction of spin on the screw.
I plan to use the lightweight wine opener when I travel.
This model powers through tough-to-open bottles with no drama, no flex, no motor hesitation, just cork up - cork down.

87% were satisfied with the easy cleaning process
I have noticed that the wine cutter in this model is more functional than the previous one, although less substantial.
87% found it surprisingly quiet, but 13% thought it was loud
I found that the new wine opener has a useful addition of foil cutter base. I compared it with the previous model and found that the previous model was more substantial in feel, but not as functional in action.
Once the cork is fully on the screw and it starts to pull the cork out, I notice that the motor strains, indicating a high noise level when using the wine opener.

This wine opener feels solid and is simple to use.
73% appreciated the built-in safety features, but 27% didn't
If we strain the motor, its life will be shorter, which is a safety concern related to its durability.
