will this device remove synthetic corks as well as 'regular' corks?

I have used this to remove both natural and synthetic corks with no problem.

I think I have removed synthetic corks, they are getting so realistic I am not sure.I don't see why not.

I did not have trouble with synthetic corks. I live in a humid climate. Perhaps if you live in a dry area with low humidity it will make a difference.

The product broke after a few days so I sent it back but I was thinking that there was a device on it that would pop the little plastic cork into the bottle. I really don't remember for sure.

It's supposed to help remove any air in the bottle and create an air-tight seal to help keep opened wine fresh. It doesn't work well though. Initially it worked great but over time the tops would lose suction overnight and I'd be stuck with a flat bottle of wine. I'd look elsewhere.

I don't know about the cork because I use the caps which work wonderful. I am sorry I could not be more helpful.

I have not had any issues with this product I love it , It knows how far to go down into the cork and it pulls it right out !!!and then you just reverse it to get the cork off ! I love this product well worth the money !!!!

Sorry, we haven't come across synthetic cork screws, at least not yet. With regular cork the opener works great. The model we have has a blue lighted base, has an easy open and release button. It came with a wax/wrapping cutter as well making it that much easier to peel off the top bottle covering. With arthritis in my hands the opener is great. When I saw a winery using a similar model I knew we had to have one especially after I saw the quickness and ease of the cork removal.

Sorry, I did not purchase this item. My cork holder is in the shape of a wine glass and I just drop the corks into the top. Janet

Yes it opens regular cork and the synthetic corks. Those are the only corks that I have seen. No problem

Yes, I haven't had any problems opening the new synthetic corks. This thing works great.

Actually, I don't know about plastic corks, but I had a similar device before its battery failed and it worked fine on plastic corks. I see no reason why this one will not, but I haven't had a bottle with a plastic cork since I got this opener.

When my cork gets stuck, I usually get some pliers and pull down while using the extraction button on the opener. This always gets the cork out.

I use both as there are two of us. I have never tried. Put a cork in it, Yara! Should work.

Cork or wine stopper will work fine, this product will work on anything you want to preserve it displaces the air.

I don't think so. The opener is a narrow cylinder about 11 inches long by a 2 inch diameter with a motorized corkscrew in it.. I put a little pressure on the opener and take care to keep the opener straight. If you don't keep the opener straight , it can end up splitting/weakening the cork. Extraction then becomes difficult.I really like this opener, but I have occasionally not kept the opener straight enough and have had to use a manual corkscrew to finish the job.

Yes it should. I do not own that type but gave them a look. To use it you will need to remove the bottle support collar. On most it just twist and pulls off some have one screw to keep it in place remove screw and twist and pull off.
