If you’ve ever wrestled with a traditional corkscrew you’ll know exactly why it’s no surprise that the electric Secura bottle opener is a best seller. And you’ll understand why we’ve used and chosen to review this product. (Especially if you’ve had to open multiple bottles.)

A traditional corkscrew is fine for just 1 bottle, or until you push it into the cork at the wrong angle and small pieces of cork start breaking off either into the wine or your hand. That’s the time when you know it’s time to step it up and look at better options.

 

And that’s when a wine opener that has all the bells and whistles, is easy to use, and doesn’t break the bank becomes a very attractive proposition. It’s hard to look past the Secura stainless steel electric wine opener. In terms of beautiful color options and easy use this one fits the bill.

    • Remove foil
    • Place on top of the bottle holding the opener in an upright/vertical position.
    • Apply just a small amount of pressure as you press down on the opener above the bottle and depress the switch. (The corkscrew operates in a clockwise motion and automatically stops when the cork has been removed.)

    They works on 100-240v wide input voltage range, (that’s North American electrical standard). Check compatibility in your country if outside US.

    Feedback

    I could tell you that there’s close to 100% satisfaction for the product, but the reality is nothing is going to be 100%. However at more than 85% product satisfaction across the board that’s pretty impressive feedback and we’re more than happy to recommend this product.

     

    What We Like

    ‘The shell is transparent and you can see when the cork has been removed.

     

    The Secura Stainless Steel Electric Wine Opener corkscrew bottle opener has received positive feedback from hundreds of customers. These are some of the comments we’ve received about the product. 

    • ‘Unlike other models, the bottom section of the wine opener is transparent and it’s extremely easy to place it on the bottle for accurate cork removal.’
    • ‘Apart from being easy to accurately pull out the cork, you’re less likely to damage the screw against the glass bottle. You can see when the cork is fully removed.’
    • ‘The stainless steel design makes it a sturdy appliance.’
    • ‘The bottle opener comes with a stand which also acts as a charger. This means you don’t have to worry about whether or not your opener is charged when you want to use it.’
    • ‘The charging process is very easy because of the LED light which signals when the opener is fully charged.’

     

    Customers who complimented the design also love the fact that the foil cutter works properly. (It’s an unfortunate reality that so many times we buy something and it actually doesn’t work as expected.)

     

    What We Don’t Like

    Although there’s very little not to like, it has been reported that on a few occasions there were power issues within a few uses. This meant the opener struggled to open bottles as efficiently as it did when new.

     

    It’s was also noted that there was a report of the model completely ceasing to function within a matter of months. A small portion of customers reported that their wine opener stopped working once a cork got stuck in it. From there they hadn’t seemed to be able to resolve the problem.

     

    Despite some negative reviews, this wine opener received 5-star ratings the overwhelming majority of the time. And don’t forget, it has a 1 year manufacturer limited warranty on its side.

    Final Thoughts

    Changing over to put your trust in an electric wine opener can be hard, especially if you’re used to doing things the traditional way. We understand that feeling.

     

    But for a great price with a range of features, you’ll be impressed with the Secura Electric wine opener and wonder why you didn’t try it sooner.

     

    Ultimately determining the best bottle opener for your needs depends on whether you want to use it at home, for parties, or in your catering or beverage business. It depends on the number of bottles you want to open and the speed at which you need them opened.

     

    You might also need to take into consideration physical capabilities. Opening bottles of wine can be difficult even if you don’t suffer from an arthritic condition or have a little less hand strength. An electric is an excellent choice.

     

    You’ll also have to consider your budget because some types of wine openers are significantly more expensive than others. For example, electric, air pressure, and lever wine openers cost more than traditional and waiter’s corkscrews. Find out more in our guide with details of other bottle opener options here.
