Customer Reviews of Metrokane Houdini Lever Style Corkscrew with Foil Cutter-Silver
Customer Rating:   Summary: NOT THE GREATEST ! ! Comment: O.K. This corkscrew works, but not that well. The silver color fools ya. You think it will be made of metal and be substantial. Well, guess again! It is mostly (or all) made of plastic. Thus, it makes using the necessary pressure to open a bottle of wine, difficult. Customer Rating: Summary: Pretty Much Lives Up to the Hype Comment: The Houdini actually works the way it clams it will. It's a bit difficult for someone who, like Queen Elizabeth I, has the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I can do it, I can do it. It works better with real corks than with plastic ones, but even they come out eventually. We open wine bottles almost every day here, and this is a big improvement over our last opener, the kind you screw in, then use two flanges to pull up the cork, and then you have to twist off the cork manually. I bought this for my persnickity husband for Fathers' Day, and he always uses it now. No regrets! Customer Rating: Summary: Not like the commercials Comment: I saw the commercials for the Houdini on tv and was very impressed. It makes you think the cork is just going to pop right out of that bottle. Then I read a review on Amazon from a person who has arthritis that said this is the only corkscrew this person didn't have a problem with. Well let me tell you I also have arthritis and when I try to get that lever thing up and over the bottle I wish I didn't have arthritis. I don't like it. I can hardly get that lever up and over. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice! Comment: Used this 'magic' opener a few times and it's amazing. Very easy to use, almost effortless. Well-built and works exactly as described. Nice! Customer Rating: Summary: Greatest invention since sliced bread Comment: This corkscrew is a god-send. I have arthritis in both hands and wrists; opening a bottle of wine was both difficult and painful. With this device it is as easy as cutting through soft butter. And better yet, no struggling to get the screw out of the cork. It removes the cork from the bottle, then slick as can be, removes the cork from the corkscrew. What more could one ask for?

Choosing Appliance -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model. Choosing Appliance -> Dishwashers Check the capacity. 'Standard' 60cm wide dishwashers can take 12, 14 or 16 place settings, whilst slimline 45cm models may cater for 7, 8 or 9 place settings. Compact dishwashers tend to be 45 cm wide and can be placed on the worktop or built in, depending on the model. They may take 4, 5 or 6 place settings.

Useful info -> Hobs Hobs are becoming a style point in modern kitchens, and accordingly available in all colours, stainless steel and interesting designs. Wide hobs, multi-fuels (electric and gas) and five or six ring burners offer flexibility but consider your usage before choosing - If your kitchen accommodates more than one cook at once, position the hob away from the oven, that way you don't get in each other's way. |
