Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Metrokane Rabbit Lever Vacuum Pump, Black Velvet
Customer Review: Inferior item
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the Rabbit vacuum pump in December, 2003. I have used it several times a week since then. One of its flimsy plastic arms broke several days ago. I tried to contact its parent company, Metrokane, for several days since then. I've tried telephoning them several times and all I get is voice mail. I've sent them an e-mail without response. I've since purchased a Vacu-Vin Concerto pump and I am very happy with it. It creates a much better vacuum than the Rabbit Lever Pump. It costs less ($19.95 vs. $30.00) and I bet the company is more responsive. In general, I think their products are inferior. Their wine opener is much less expensive than comparable bottle openers such as the Lever-Pull, but they break and the Lever-Pull lasts.Customer Review: Piece of Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't bother to review items generally but this was an exceptionally bad piece of junk that I wish I had saved the box so I could have returned (which I also don't usually bother about). I love my lever pull corkscrew and thought this product would live up to that level of quality. I couldn't ever get any suction no matter how hard I tried and just tossed it in the garbage and chalked it up to the lesson of not tossing the box until you have tested the product.Customer Review: Rabbit Vacuum Pump a "Fizzle"
Summary: 1 Stars
I like my Rabbit Corkscrew, and when I saw that it had a companion, The Rabbit Lever VACUUM Pump to preserve the wine in an opened bottle, I was sure that it would be the same quality. BUT, beware the so called less effort-just 4 swift pumps of the lever (or even 10 pumps ) does a minimal job of creating any vacuum in the opened bottle. A real bust for $30.00. In addition , we have had no response from our complaints and return of product from the Metrokane Co. Customer Review: Better off with a $5 wine vacuum.....
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very excited about this product as I like the corkscrew they make. Unfortunately this product simply does not work. We have thrown it away and gone back to the $5 models that actually preserve the wine.Customer Review: This item does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
This product simply does not work. The vacuum is so weak that it does not preserve the wine, even for a day. I have used a Vacuvin for many years and it is a far superior product at a far lower cost. We bought this item because it appeared to be easier to pump than the Vacuvin -- and it is. The reason: it doesn't preserve the wine. I am seeking a return and refund, either through Amazon or Metrokane.
