Oster Cordless Electric Wine Bottle Opener with Foil Cutter, Silver

Why it's worth it

The Oster opens up to 30 bottles per charge, cuts foil with an included cutter, and sits in a recharging base. Its soft-grip handle and simple push-button operation make it a good fit for anyone whose hands don't cooperate with a manual corkscrew.

The handle is the reason to pick this one. Oster wraps the body in a soft grip, and the whole thing is shaped to be held rather than pinched. If arthritis or a weak wrist is what sent you shopping for an electric opener, that texture does more for you day to day than any spec on the box. One push of the button and the cork's out.

Everything you need comes in the box: the foil cutter, the recharging base, and a body that looks like a proper piece of barware instead of a gadget. Oster claims up to 30 bottles per charge, with a 6 to 8 hour recharge. For a household that opens a bottle or two a week, that's a top-up every couple of months.

What to know

• –It's UL approved for 110–120 volts only, so it won't work abroad without a converter
• –Thirty bottles is the lowest per-charge claim among the models here that publish one, and a 6 to 8 hour recharge means you can't…
