Bought this Cuisinart electric wine opener on line about a month ago after comparing it to other similar brands.  Liked the stainless steel appearance and simple functionality.    Also have had good experience with other Cuisinart products and know that they make a quality, long lasting product.  My previous wine opener (not a Cuisinart) died after many years of openings and unfortunately, the battery could no longer hold a charge, even when plugged in for long period of time.
