We have been using our Oster 4207 for more than a year. Still works great. It has opened everything and lots of them. It has come close to stalling on some super hard plastic corks so I use a manual puller sometimes on those just-in-case to protect my Oster. It charges quickly on the charging stand but the one drawback is that if you have to keep the stand plugged in to have it ready when you need it. It loses charge after a week or two if unplugged.
Because of this we bought the $120 Peugeot Electric Wine bottle opener (currently only at Williams Sonoma) that doesn't need a charging stand. I thought this would mean I could plug it in and run it at full power even if it was low on charge... GONG.. nope the Peugot still needs to have a full charge and it has half the torque of the Oster even though you could buy FIVE Osters for that price. We tried them both on the same bottles. The Peugot couldn't even pull out corks that Oster pulled and we had re-inserted. The Oster has pulled every cork we have tried. The Peugeot stalled more than half the time and then you have to work for half an hour to get it out of the bottle. We have purchased at least 8 Osters for gifts. All our friends are winos too. You can't go wrong for twenty bucks.

Really nice gift for yourself or your wine drinking frinds. We bought 12 of them 2 years ago and they last about that long with fairly heavy use. Buy a few for spares and last minute gifts.
Rating: - super easy wine opener
Have had this product for a couple of months and use on a regular basis - very easy and efficient to use. Even works on the plastic corks. Just a little noisy. Would definitely recommend.
Rating: - Love it
I don't drink wine very often, but now I find myself opening wine just because I love how easy it is. I purchased two others at the same time as Christmas gifts. It is a little big, but it sits in the corner of my counter, so it doesn't take up too much valuable counter space.

This product only lasted a couple of months after I received it for Christmas. We have the model 4208. I wasn't very impressed with it when it did work, and at some point it stopped removing corks and started making sad whirring sounds (yes, I did recharge it).
