- Good exercise tool, not for wine
- How anyone can use this beyond me. The seal between the cap and vacuum device is left to chance. Builds up your muscles but not the vacuum. Back it goes...poo!

- A "must have" accessory!
- Definitely a welcome addition to my wine accessories...simple enough to use(I can't for the life of me understanding the others that are experiencing difficulty in using this properly!)
Used properly along with a decanting funnel will make the difference between night & day for a red wine right out of the bottle.
Don't pass this up! - 2008-06-02, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Product Good Shipping Not So Good
- Product arrived on time, unfortunately DHL soaked the box (looked like it had been floating in a pond). The company was great, got right back to me. Haven't used the product yet, it is a gift, but was pleased with my dealings with them!

- Greatest thing since sliced bread
- This is a SUPER product...my only criticism would be a lack of instruction on how to use it...after you insert and push the 'cork' down, you must PULL UP on the little 'knob'...then you have to pump it 30-35 times to bring the needle into the red zone...the wine will keep at least 5 days (i haven't tried it longer)...then PUSH DOWN on the 'knob' to release the pressure when you want to use the wine...using a thumb on each side of the 'cork' push it up up remove it...NO RE-PUMPING IS NECESSARY...the price is reasonable...if you save a couple of bottles of wine, it pays for itself..i am going to get more for gifts...GREAT PRODUCT....LOVE IT

- I found that the decanter will hold a seal. You do have to seat the stopper well into the decanter to get a good seal and it takes some effort to "walk" it out. I can live with all of this. The problem is with the pump handle that you extract the air with. With light use the seal in the handle failed. I believe that the pump handle materials are inferior to stand up to the effort required to extract the air. Metrokane asks for $10.00 to cover shipping and handling for a replacement. With the current quality of construction you would probably need several pump handles or more to get value out of your investment.
