I used one a friend had found cheap when I visited one time - a copy, not
the original make. He'd had it for a good while and used it often. It still
worked perfectly and looked like new. I decided I wanted one. I was bought
one of the cheaper copies similar to his (about what, £15 or so for the
'kit' including foil cutter, stand and quite decent case, as well as spare
screw part just in case ?!?) last year as a gift. I love it! It's been used
heaps since we love our wine and I love to drink, and it is in perfect
condition. Gadgets like these are often all hype and marketing, but no use
or substance. not this one by a long shot IMO. Oh, they say 3 seconds - more
like 1.5 to 2 seconds for me when I'm thirsty, and it never ever mangles a
cork either, not even very crap, poor quality corks.

If you ever get a chance to check one out I'd say do so - seems daft, but
they're fun because they work so well!
