Useless Review by Jason

Rating

Don't waste your money on this piece of junk. I tried every possible adjustment and couldn't get the corks to go in all the way--each one stood out from the bottle rim at least 1/4 inch. Yeah, they'll keep the bottles sealed, but they look like complete crap--good thing I'm not giving this batch as gifts! Also, about every third or fourth attempt made the plastic threaded parts pop apart. I should've read the other reviews. Don't skimp--spend the extra money and get a good floor corker.

Go with a Better Corker Review by Matt

This corker, no mater how I adjusted it would never put the cork fully in the bottle, I attempted several different fluid levels, I tried dried, dipped, and soaked corks they ALL ended up at least a quarter inch outside the bottle. I guess the summation is you get what you pay for. (Posted on 10/9/12)

Functional, but not fantastic Review by Sasha

Having read the other reviews, I think I may let my husband try it next time since I don't have the strength to press the handles quickly.

Future attempts aside, I found this corker to be adequate. It did insert the cork, but I couldn't get it to shove the cork all the way in no matter how I adjusted the settings. Only about 1/2 to 1/4 of an inch of cork above the lip, but it just doesn't look good. I figure it's sealed just as well if it was all the way in, I'm just a little disappointed. (Posted on 5/6/12)

What a mess! Review by Wine_Lover_123

Don't be fooled by the price! As they say, you get what you pay for. Read on, and buyer, beware!

Upon receiving the Double Lever Corker, I immediately began corking my wine. Now, to be fair, the first few corks went in flawlessly.

It was when I was approximately half way through the corking process that I encountered my conundrum. Upon loading the cork into the Double lever corker, and placing the device on my bottle, I began the corking process of pulling both handles down. I must have been applying more force on one handle than the other, for the bottle slipped on the counter. It toppled over, spilling my precious wine everywhere. As the red wine slowly trickled towards my white shirt, I desperately attempted to save the bottle. Alas, I was too late, and it proceeded to roll off the counter, shattering on my tile floor.

There I was left, covered in red wine, with glass pieces everywhere, holding this piece of junk of wine "corker". Thanks for nothing. Floor corker, here I come. (Posted on 11/21/11)

good stuff Review by Walter

Works perfectly. Several items of note:

Once you've gotten the hang of it, you'll want to do your corking motion quickly, as if you're in a rush. If you cork slowly/deliberately, the cork will sit a few millimeters above the rim

The metal that pushes the cork down isn't as thick as the cork, so it leaves a circle imprint on the top of the cork. This probably goes away after a few weeks of aging and will probably vanish after a month. (Posted on 3/8/11)
