Legacy Wine Opener Built-in 4-Blade Foil Cutter Safe Cork Removal, Effortless Push Button Use, Needle Guard for Safety, Low-Pressure Cartridge Opens Up To 60 (Black, With 3 Cartridges)

I have had this product for a few weeks, and love it! I love it so much I have taken it to a couple of local wineries where I am a member to show staff friends how it works; so far, 5 people (2 staff, 3 other customers) have taken photos of the box so they can order it after seeing it in operation. I was on my third pump-syringe opener because I love that it flawlessly removes the most deteriorated cork without a crumb. Some of those required a lot of pumping to get enough air to remove the cork. This device offers the security and clean removal of any cork with just a couple of inch-pounds pressure on the back of the cartridge. The claims of the manufacturer are 60 or "up to 100" bottles per cartridge; I am at 30 bottles with no loss of effectiveness. Amazon has bulk refills at $5/cartridge in a 10-pack, so for between $0.05 and $0.125 per bottle, you get the simplest, cleanest, most elegant and effortless, kinda-cool wine opener! Impressive and fun!

***Update*** Being new to this product I was unaware it had a very small learning curve. And it's probably the reason why there are more 1-2 star reviews out there than there should be. You have to be aware that the placement of the needle is everything. You need to know how far down to insert the needle so that when you press down on the cartridge, it will expel into the narrow void between the wine and the cork. If you don't plunge it down far enough, it's very difficult to push down on the cartridge. If you go down too far, it's possible that the opening for the propellant is submerged into the wine. It's only natural to want to insert the needle all the way down before you press on the cartridge. But it's not always going to work doing that. This was occurring to me quite often. I couldn't push down on the cartridge and it felt too hard to press, or it would seem to press down with small trouble but never pop out the cork. It would expel into the wine. But once I realized that the needle needed to be in the correct position, it worked every time. So I'm changing my review. Be mindful of the propellant opening and make sure it's in the correct position before pushing down on the cartridge or you'll end up using up the gas and only open a couple of bottles with it. **Original Review** I saw this used by one of the "Sharks" from Shark Tank on an Instagram post. I researched the product and found it on Amazon. I immediately ordered it due to it's simplicity and ease of opening up bottles of wine. First two or three bottles opened, I loved the sound of it just POP, just like a bottle of champagne, but it was my favorite bottle of red instead. And then......that's it. Like, that was it. Only 3 bottles were opened with the cartridge that came with the product. It was either not a full cartridge to begin with, or defective. Or maybe I was expecting a full cartridge and it was a starter to get you excited to order the refills. I'm not sure. I overall love the product, love the technology, and it's definitely a conversation piece when guests come over and see something new for the first time. But I'm bummed only 3 bottles were opened with the item. I will be buying refills, but if the claim of 50-60 bottles per cartridge don't hold up, I don't think I'll keep buying the refills. I definitely will update my review to 5-Stars if I can prove the cartridges last longer than 3 bottles.

We love this cork popper. Also takes the foil off. You have to order refills for the gas cartridge but it's a great way to open a bottle.

Works very well. Easy. Perfect for older corks.

Works well except the foil cutter is very difficult to use

This is a better mousetrap, it really is. And it's such fun to use. Great conversation piece. Ideal gift item; everyone loves it. In truth, it's not the easiest thing to use, just because it's not obvious how to use it, how much force is needed to get the needle in, how much force is needed to pull the cork out, how to free the cork after it's pulled. I mean, for me, it's super-simple, but I've seen others struggle with it. For the mechanically declined, perhaps the simpler model without the collar piece may be more intuitive; but this model looks really nice, and I think the collar piece reduces the risk of damaging the needle by not going straight down. If you are expecting that the cork pops right out just under the pressure of the gas, forget it. Maybe one out of ten corks just comes up like that; most of the time you need to apply *some* upward force to get it started, but we're talking maybe one pound of force, vs. like ten pounds with a corkscrew. Every once in a while, I've gotten a few drops of wine splash out of the bottle when the cork pops. It's a small thing, but it's a thing. I think maybe I was hand-holding the bottle instead of letting it rest on a counter while opening when that happened. I'm quite happy with how much use I'm getting out of each canister of CO2. I would say conservatively I got 30 bottles opened with the first canister. Probably more. The built-in foil cutter is passable if you can't find your dedicated foil cutter. I've bought a couple of these as gifts, and look forward to gifting more of these as opportunity arises.

This version was terrible. It must have been defective because it never worked.

Best wine opener.

Lieferung hat ein bißchen gedauert - kam ja aus England. Der Korkenzieher ist gut, aber manchmal klappt es mit dem Gasdruck nicht so richtig. Leider sitzt auch der Korken - trotz Drehmechanismus - noch recht fest auf der Einstichnadel.

Got this as a Christmas present for my sister. She likes it a lot.

Absolutely love this tool. Makes every cork removal an absolute breeze. So quick and simple to use.

fonctionne bien avec les bouchons en liège mais attention aux nouvelles matières en mousse utilisées pour les bouchons: il faut s'y reprendre à 2 fois
