I got this for my parents a couple years ago for Christmas and they love it. It looks nice, is very easy to use, powerful, and durable. The foil cutter it comes with also works well. I liked it so much I put it on my registry and use it all the time. My parents liked it so much they asked for a second one for their lake house. I’ve used other cheaper battery operated and charging ones that seem to do the trick more or less, but seemed a little chincky and lost steam after a while. The Waring wine bottle opener works just as well as the day it was bought and I feel will work for years. Definitely worth the money.
