"***We had one that leaked too but READ this because I love this thing and really appreciate the company’s quick responsiveness to fix the issue***. Love this!!!"
"I broke one of the little retaining nubs trying to close it."
"Taste a before and after aeration sample and there is clearly a difference, aerated sample tastes much better."
"This little thing makes pouring wine so much easier... and EXCELLENT customer service."
"Easy to use and works really well, much better than the one with batteries which is cheaper but becomes damaged from moisture after awhile and then just stops working."
"I brought the aerator to a party and several of us did blind taste testing of a variety of wines ranging from ten dollar bottles to thirty dollar bottles and it literally improved the nose and flavor of every wine."
"Wine aerators do help the flavor of wine but this one is junk."

"I really liked this opener. You'll very likely get between 1-2 years out of this guy (hopefully) and you won't regret your purchase once you use it... until you need to open wine and don't have an opener.. The saving grace for the Ozeri is that the charge is a cable that attaches to the outside and it doesn't rely on a base to do this, so even if it does with a cork in it we can still charge the opener and eject the cork."
"I had a Sharper Image wine bottle opener (similar to The Rabbit) for years. Now if I have a hard time with all my strength opening a bottle the old fashioned way, imagine how brittle plastic would turn out to be when exposed to the stress of removing a cork from a wine bottle."
"I emailed customer service about my issue, 3 weeks later I got a response requesting information in order to process the return. 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."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Pluses: 1) You can use regular ice cubes...no need to obtain block ice. 2) There is a safety feature that requires the handle to be depressed far enough that it prevents accidental contact between soft tissue and the rapidly spinning blade inside. 3) Be very careful reaching into the chute where you add the ice cubes, even when the machine is unplugged because the blade is VERY sharp as it needs to be to do its job. Make sure that when you are done you incline the machine toward the front so ice and water can drain out as it melts."

Best Corkscrews & Openers
Enjoy the craftsmanship of AMAZON'S #1 TOP RATED premium quality, sommelier-inspired waiters friend at an amazing low price! If you are a bartender, waiter or server, you don't want to rely on multiple tools to open a bottle of red wine or a beer. Our openers provide servers with a stylish industrial quality and durable 3 in 1 multi function tool that elegantly blends the features of a wine corkscrew, bottle opener and foil cutter in a stylish and durable 420 stainless steel body with a comfort-grip wooden handle. This corkscrew elegantly blends the features of a wine corkscrew, bottle opener and foil cutter all together in a stylish and DURABLE 420 STAINLESS STEEL body with comfort-grip wood handle. The precision-cut notch along the screw grips the cork firmly and also reduces the drag as it cuts through the cork, making it less likely the cork will crumble and offering a significant advantage over other types of screws. The two step hinge makes opening wine twice as easy by allowing for a nice, 2-step pull and removal of the cork and offers a significant mechanical advantage over older-style single-hinge corkscrews.

With a nice finish on the wood and a comfortable grip, it works perfectly in a high paced work atmosphere. I plan on owning this for a long time and since the company offers a lifetime warranty on the product, I don't think I'll ever need to replace it. I dabbed a little bit of olive oil onto a rolled paper towel and rubbed some into the two hinges, thus reducing the friction of the metal and fixing my one and only problem."
"If you're looking for a new opener this is the one for you...it's heavy and feels great in your hand!"
"At first feel I thought the spring was too stiff, but when I used it for the first time I realized it was the perfect stiffness."
"The fulcrum is tall enough to fully extract the cork, a shortcoming of lesser corkscrews with a smaller fulcrum."
"It "looks" good but I actually dont think it deserves so many 5 stars."
"Thinking that a wine opener is a wine opener I ordered the this HiCoup corkscrew since it has good reviews and was reasonably priced."
"The only (potential) negative is that it can be rough on the cork, but this is really only a negative for those who are very particular in saving corks. It doesn't crumble the cork in the way that many corkscrews with subpar worms can, but because of how thick the knuckle part is, it can rather can easily slice through the top of the cork, especially if the bottle has been chilled."
"I purchased this unit with my own funds nobody sent me anything for free, but I wanted to share how pleased I am with this product."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I make some of my own recipes for syrups to which I dilute with water and put them in a 1 liter Stainless Steel Bottle."
"Looking at the boxes, there's a lot more information on these, which makes me like them better, such as: Carbon Dioxide Gas 99.95% min. Air (Atmospheric) trace. Water Content <100ppm. Triple Filtered <40 microns. Gas Pressure @70F 738psi. and. "The CO2 gas used in this product is natural and does not contain any additives." There's no comparable information on the Whip-it box. So, while I am still largely in ignorance of what makes a good charger cartridge, I like these better than the Whip-Its I was buying before for the greater information (and apparent goodness)."
"I was concerned about potentially having to "shim" the breaker handle on my newly purchased iSi 2248 Soda Siphon as some customers noted these chargers were slightly shorter than the iSi brand chargers."
"They work like they are supposed to and, while not from the U.S., these Hungary made cylinders work fine to make soda."
"Having now put my hands on everything I wanted to come back and assure the tentative (like me) that it is not nearly as big of a deal as some people make it out to be! But if you are not mechanically inclined, here is what I did: Cut a strip of cardboard off the shipping box (the corrugated kind, not the thin cardboard from the individual containers) about an inch wide and 3 inches long. Attempt to slide it into the hole in the lid above the cartridge (it is about an inch tall, plenty of room to work with). Push the cap down to make sure it can still close without the length compromising anything (the length just folds up to fit along the cartridge, imagine holding a strip of cardboard up to your finger tip and then folding it down to rest flat)."
"My wife's Uncle Bob surprised me with an iSi 750ml "extra fizz" seltzer bottle for Christmas and these chargers fit it just as well as the 10 iSi chargers he had included with the gift."
"Will update with that brand here for all to see when I order them next."

"When you put iced/cold beverages into them, they stay cold not for a few hours, but a whole day, or overnight. It was a bonus for the Atlins to also have the straw and straw cleaner. We only use them for cold drinks though, so not sure how they would do with something hot."
"Way to hard to keep clean , while this Atkin mug is so easy to clean , no little parts and soooo much cheaper then Teavana ."
"There is a metal straw and a cleaning brush for the straw, however I don't use the metal straw at all. Just started using the metal straw and wow I'm a convert, I might sound like a complete green head but the amount of plastic straws that'll be saved from my consumption, I'm totally gonna gravitate towards using reusable straws from now on."
"I recently bought this tumbler because the company I work for just moved to distance which requires longer traveling time. I was driving to work, took a sip and noticed that the coffee taste was different from what it was after brewing it at home. The next day after washing the tumbler and lid multiple times, I tried again and again the coffee taste was altered, but I didn't know why. I really needed a large cup to carry my coffee so I figured I'll try again, but without the lid this time. Please see the email exchange below between me and Atlin support team and how they decided to handle this issue. Best Regards, Ada. Power-innovation Customer Service. That was how Atlin decided to handle this issue, by telling me not to use the lid which was purchased with the tumbler as a unit."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I'd been using the same small dependable hand-held electric can opener for the past 25+ years until it finally gave up the ghost. After getting hand cramps from my old manual opener, though, I finally opted for this Hamilton Beach model. I'd never much cared for the side-cut openers before because liquids inside the can seemed to spill more easily with the lower edge, so this higher-cutting model is much better IMO. The top push-down lever depresses easily and the magnet on the opener holds the can securely in place while it's cutting. I found that this is important because if you allow it to continue making rotations, it cuts long narrow slivers of the can which are noticeable when you remove the top (looks like a tiny strand of steel wool)."
"This Hamilton Beach Can Opener had caught my eye from all the great 5 Star reviews it showed, and from Reviews as far back as year 2009 which shows Hamilton Beach knows they have a high quality well built very popular can opener. The can opener is what you would design in your mind as having every feature a High Quality Can Opener would have, well designed and solidly built."
"I'm 72 years young and this is the BEST can opener i've ever owned or operated.!!"
"Came across the Hamilton Beach can opener and was surprised by all the great reviews and for $20 didn't feel like I was loosing much."
"Reviewers who said it has a short cord probably did not pull it all the way out."
"I took a photograph rare earth magnet I place just a fraction of inches from I can been opened see the metal shavings I would normally have to rinse off with water."
"I have never seen or had an appliance sold with a cord that is basically 'useless' unless you have a connection with nothing in the way. Buy an extension cord, or maybe Ham Beach will correct this incredible design blunder."
