LCD display did not work
Had to send product back. LCD display did not work at all. Bottle opening was fine.

Don't Waste Your Time or Money
I bought this for my mother for Xmas. I have never been so embarrassed about a gift that I have given someone. I fully charged it before I wrapped it and was planning on opening the bottle of wine at dinner with it. When that time came, not only did it not even come close to opening the bottle after repeatedly trying, it started splitting the opener apart. It immediately went from a full charge to a half, without even opening 1 bottle. My mother couldn't tell me to return it fast enough (which I did). Thinking at first it was the shape or size of the bottle I was trying to open with it, I decided to take it home at try it on a smaller bottle. It didn't open that bottle either. Now the charge was completely drained to "zero" and not one bottle had been successfully opened. I sincerely hope that anyone reading this will take my advice and research the different brands and styles first before jumping to purchasing this product. I found a less expensive automatic corkscrew at a local store and found it to work much better than this one did for a major fraction of the price. If you do want to give this as a gift, may I suggest you yourself purchase one first and try it out for awhile, before you too are disappointed and embarrassed.

Slick, but discharges during storage
I'm an occasional wine drinker. Usually uncork about 3 bottles per month.
Thought I would give this gadget a try. It's a good looking compact unit. After receiving via very slow shipping, I charged it as directed and opened 2 bottles of wine. Worked like a charm! Stashed it away and 10 days later went to open its third bottle of wine. The counter said it would still open 13 bottles, but in fact the battery had gone dead. I've concluded a rechargeable wine opener is not very convenient for the occasional wine drinker. If you don't remember to charge it up every few weeks whether you use it or not, the batteries discharge and there won't be enough power to open a bottle when you want to use it. In my case, a manual opener like the Oxo Steel Corkpull would have been a more dependable choice.

Will not work all wine bottles
The internal cavity of the Electric Rabbit measures 1.188" in diameter. The top portion of two wine bottles we attempted to open measure 1.25" in diameter, and that is with the foil stripped off of the side. Talbott and St. Francis Chardonnay were the brands, and both are domestic.

The Electric Rabbit is well-made but should only be considered for wine bottles measuring less than 1.188" in diameter at the widest point on the top of the bottle. In light of this I will be asking Amazon to issue an RMA.

Works well
Overall, this product works as advertised. I do not know about its durability, but that will have to wait. One caveat is that it will not open bottles with very wide mouths as they do not fit into the body of the opener. A good product.
