With such an accessory, you can relax when opening a bottle of wine - thanks to the automatic corkscrew, the cork will be removed in 6 seconds without any extra effort. This novelty will appeal to every lover of strong drinks, as well as to the owners of cafes and restaurateurs.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Chinese manufacturer offers different Xiaomi corkscrews. They differ in appearance, technical characteristics and other parameters. However, there are some "general" benefits that are specific to each model. Let's consider them in more detail.

  1. Convenient operation and significant time savings for opening the bottle. Such a device will be indispensable not only in everyday life, but also at various parties, special events and corporate events. All models are compact, so you can take them outdoors or during business trips - the gadget will not take up much space in your bag and will not cause hassle with transportation.
  2. Efficiency and safety. When removing the cork with a mechanical corkscrew, there are great risks of breaking a glass bottle, pouring wine. The automatic wine device will save the user from these problems. No soiled clothes, a flooded tablecloth, no broken bottle necks - with the electronic corkscrew, these difficulties will be a thing of the past.
  3. Durability. All models are made of high quality materials: metal and heavy-duty plastic. They are resistant to wear and tear.All structures are durable and reliable.
  4. Elegant appearance - the automatic wine corkscrew will look good in the kitchen, among other accessories, and on a chic holiday table. The laconic design will not leave indifferent any guest.
  5. Low noise level. Most models do not exceed 60 dB.
  6. Autonomy. With a fully charged smart corkscrew, you can open 30 or even 70 bottles without the need to recharge. If the device is rarely used, it is enough to charge it once a year.

A freestanding bottle corkscrew isn't cheap. The price of some models reaches the order of several thousand rubles. A conventional mechanical analogue will cost much less, but at the same time it will not be comparable in its functionality. Cost is the only factor that discourages many wine drinkers from purchasing smart corkscrews. An insignificant disadvantage is the dependence of the devices on the power source, however, if we take into account the long-term preservation of the charge, this disadvantage is rather conditional.

Features of work

The smart corkscrew function is similar to a traditional mechanical accessory. The only difference is the automated operation of an electronic device without the need for a person to apply physical forces.

To open the bottle, you need to bring the device to the cork, start the automatic process of rotating the spiral. Pressing the 2 button will start the process of pulling the cork out of the bottle. The principle of operation of any model is quite simple - even a beginner is able to deal with the peculiarities of the automatic corkscrew functioning and, from 1 time, quickly and effortlessly uncork the container.
