This is similar in function to the original Rabbit. It works well, both pulling the cork and then ejecting the cork from the device. I thought it may take up less space in the kitchen drawer due to its new design, and it does somewhat, but not as much as I had hoped. I wish the handle would lie flat against the body to become more compact, but it doesn't. Maybe that will be the next iteration of the Rabbit.
This wine opener is the closest thing I've ever seen to a push-button way to open wine bottles perfectly every time. We don't bother to remove the foil cork-covers, because it'll pull the cork right through them (so far no exceptions). Hold it over the neck of the bottle, gently push the lever down, then gently lift the lever up. There is no forcing, alignment, pressure, or strength required. It works so well because as you press-down on the lever, gears cleanly turn the screw into the cork. It's just as easy to get the cork off the rabbit.
My wife wanted us to get one, and I admit I was a skeptic of automatic bottle openers. I received an electric wine opener as a gift and used it only once before throwing it out as junk. I found all of them frustrating compared to a good old standard hand-operated sommalier's screw-lever. Even after my wife was using our rabbit, I was spending time with my screw-lever. Then I watched her use it, ONCE. She stuck it right over the bottle with the foil on. I mistakenly tried to warn her, thinking the foil would foul it up. Before I knew it the cork was out, and she was explaining how you don't need to bother with that. The next bottle we opened I insisted on using the rabbit myself. Now the rabbit is the opener I reach for every time.
If you are looking for an easy wine opener, buy one now, you won't regret it.
"Best "Rabbit" Yet !!!"

This is the newly designed "Vertical Rabbit" wine opener. I purchased The original version about 5 years ago. It worked OK, but was cumbersome and awkward to use. This new design is TERRIFIC !!!!!!
Here's what you do to open a bottle:
1. Squeeze and Rotate the supplied foil cutter to cut the top of the foil off
2. Slide the black opener over the top of the bottle with the silver handle raised
3. Grasp the opener firmly as you push the silver handle down...then pull it up again....POP....the cork (real or synthetic) is out!!!
4. Repeat (3) again to eject the cork from the opener
(NOTE: gorilla strength NOT required)
My first reaction was, "THIS CAN'T BE THAT EASY!"...but it is, because the same thing has happened over and over since then.
Finally, for storage the new design stands up on a shelf...or lies down in a drawer (unlike its bulky predecessor). The clear plastic storage case can also be used because it contains a replacement corkscrew.
This is a no-brainer must-get...Highly Recommended!!

"Best corkscrew ever"

This corkscrew works better than any other that I have used. It pulls corks out with ease, then ejects them with minimal effort - the Achilles heal of most corkscrews. The only down side is the price. If you drink wine regularly, you'll never regret your purchase. It works just as well on plastic "corks" as real ones - something many lever-style corkscrews can't claim.
