Oster 4207 Electric Wine Bottle Opener
2006 was a great year for Oster! If you’re looking for a great wine bottle opener
I don’t know about you, but I simply hate using a corkscrew! Mainly because I generally manage to screw up getting the cork out of the bottle. I’ve used the Connoisseur lever models and do like them—more on those in another post—but in my opinion, the granddaddy of bottle openers is the Oster 4207.
Used properly—and gently!—this product makes opening a bottle of wine a wonderful thing. And you’ll never have those embarrassing bits of cork floating in the wine again!
When fully charged, the unit will open about thirty bottles with the touch of a button. When the motor stops, the cork has been removed from the bottle. Simply lift the unit off the bottle, and using the reverse button, eject the cork from the unit. When the unit needs to be recharged, just sit it in its base. The base also houses a foil cutter, so be sure you use that to remove the foil from the bottle spout before using the opener.
Now, like anything else, there is a right way and a wrong way to use this. Take a little time, be patient, and practice makes perfect. Once you’ve gotten the hang of it, you can look forward to years of use. Get impatient, don’t use it properly, and guess what? It will break! It’s a $20 item. It’s not made of titanium that can withstand abuse!
I do have to say, make sure you keep it recharged! It’s a little embarrassing when you have guests and the battery is dead. They are all oohing and ahhing about the cool gadget you’re about to use and you realize the thing is dead! Then you have to pull out the backup opener. Oh, well. Worse things have happened, believe me!
All in all, this is an awesome product. Buy one for yourself. And oh, they make great gifts, so buy an extra to have on hand to wrap up to give away.
This is a must for any household that drink wine!

I live in Sudbury, Ontario. where can i order the Oster #4207 from??
Hi Ernie!
The only way to get it is to suck it up and pay the shipping costs from the States. And to do that you need to use a US address service.
The best way I’ve found to do this is to use shipito.com. If you follow that link, you can register with them. It’s free to sign up. Once you’ve done that, and you have your US address, you can come back here and then follow the link for the oster 4207 and buy it from amazon.com. I make sure I order enough to get the free shipping from amazon.com to my US address, and escape getting charged for shipping twice. Then choose to have shipito MAIL it here. Do NOT choose Fedex, because their brokerage fees to bring anything across the border are way higher then Canada Post. I’m in the GTA, and delivery to me is around $30. You’re waayyy north of me, so I’m not sure how much more it would cost, but you can estimate your costs on shipito’s site.
If you have friends or family living in the States, have it shipped from amazon to them, and then ask them to mail it to you.
