Oggi 3pc Upright Wine Opener Set

Quality issues torpedo a fine product. I purchased an Oggi Nautilus lever corkscrew after a glowing recommendation on America's Test Kitchen. The first unit had a crack in the plastic housing, the replacement from Amazon worked fine 4 times and then a rod pulled out of the top block that resulted in total failure. I returned the second unit to Amazon for refund. I purchased a Speed-Pull Decorker locally at World Market. It is lighter than the Oggi but is a similar lever corkscrew design, and has several nice features that the Oggi lacks. The handle has a detent in the top position so it stays up when putting the unit on the bottle. The handle has a nice rubber coating and is very comfortable. The Speed-Pull lifts the cork about 2 1/2 inches, whereas the Oggi lifted the cork about 2 inches. The Speed-Pull has a built in foil cutter that is very convenient. The Oggi works very well if you get one that isn't defective or one that doesn't fail. The comments from other users show that the production problems are not an isolated event. The Oggi deserves a five star rating when it is not defective, but unfortunately the problems cause it to be unsatisfactory.
