Works great for a few weeks... November 9, 2007
At first, I was impressed by the design and ease of function. I couldn't have been more pleased for two months. Then, the device jammed, the lever being locked in the closed position so that operation was impossible. There are no instructions or web site available to help. Actually, the Amazon description here is more complete than anything coming with the device. I would advise waiting until the revised model comes out at some future time.

Well worth the price November 5, 2007
This wine opener is every bit as easy to operate as advertised here. It is handsomely packaged and well-designed. The foil cutter and bottle seal make it an even more attractive product. I have seen similar wine openers sell for more than twice as much but they cannot be any easier to operate than the Pinzon.

Great while it works September 25, 2007

When I received the Pinzon Penguin, I would have given it 5 stars for its design and ease of use. Unfortunately, we opened a couple of bottles of wine and then it jammed. Amazon replaced it for me quickly and with little hassle. The next one was great.... we opened probably a dozen bottles of wine before it jammed. We had been very careful and gentle with it, since the first one had jammed. After the second one broke, I gave up and bought one at Costco for $[...] that is superior in every way. Works as well or better, much sturdier, and has opened more bottles of wine than both the Penguins we owned combined.

A great wine opener at an affordable price September 6, 2007
I bought this set as a gift for a couple of people and also received one as a gift. I am so happy with this wine opener, more folks will likely get this as a gift from me this holiday season. It's affordable, stores easily, and also stands nicely on the counter as shown in the photo.

Very pleased August 12, 2007
Bought 2 of these for gifts and was very pleased with the results. Very easy to operate. Very easy to remove cork. Nice design too. Both recipients seem happy with them.
