I’ve been using one of those rabbit-style lever openers for years, and it works fine but the noise when the cork pops out is getting old. I’m thinking about switching to the WineCork Pro if it’s actually quieter overall. Anyone know if the motor on this thing is loud enough to bother people at a dinner table?

I haven’t tried the WineCork Pro myself, but I’ve sat next to someone using one at a dinner party and it was more of a quiet whir than a loud pop. The motor noise was there but it didn’t stop conversation or anything.

Never really noticed the noise being an issue when my brother used his at a family dinner. It was more of a low hum than anything startling.

I haven’t used the WineCork Pro, but I saw one at a party and it was quieter than the old rabbit style. The whir is pretty low, nothing that would bother anyone talking. Probably fine for dinner.

I’ve never used a rabbit-style one, but I’ve seen the WineCork Pro at a store demo and it was just a short buzz. Nothing that would turn heads at a dinner table.

My buddy brought one to a BBQ last summer and it barely made any noise. Nobody even looked over. The rabbit style sounds like a party popper compared to it.

I’ve never really minded the pop from a regular opener to be honest, it’s almost part of the ritual for me. But if noise is bugging you, the WineCork Pro definitely has a softer sound, more of a quick buzz than a bang. I actually prefer the little pop, feels more satisfying.

I think it’s probably fine for a dinner table. The motor hum is pretty low and quick from what I’ve seen, not really the kind of noise that cuts through conversation. Maybe just test it before a big party if you’re worried.

[Pete Tilbrook]

I think the noise thing is overblown honestly. I’ve got a rabbit style and it’s never bothered anyone at my table, it’s just a quick pop. The WineCork Pro might be a bit quieter but I’d rather spend the money on better wine than worry about a sound that lasts half a second.

[Emma Mirren]

I’ve never actually heard a rabbit-style one up close, but the WineCork Pro is pretty quiet. It’s more of a quick hum than anything loud. I wouldn’t worry about it bothering people at dinner.

[Nina Ray]

I’m probably overthinking it too, but I’d lean toward the WineCork Pro just to avoid that pop sound. The motor hum seems like it’d blend into background noise better than a sudden crack.

[RyanT]

I’d probably just go for it if the pop is bothering you. The motor hum is way less jarring than that sudden crack sound, especially late at night.

[Tom Ray]

I mean, the pop from a rabbit style is pretty quick, I never really thought it was that loud. The WineCork Pro is quiet enough though, just a hum for a few seconds.

[AnnaK]

I don’t think the motor hum would be that noticeable during dinner. It’s probably less startling than a cork popping.

[Jess Carter]

I think it probably depends more on your own tolerance for the pop than anything else. I always figured the rabbit-style ones are pretty quiet if you just let the cork come out naturally. The motor hum on an electric one might be less noticeable to other people but could be annoying in its own way if it’s a cheap model. Not totally sure if it’s worth switching just for noise.

[Jenna Lee]

I think the pop is kind of satisfying honestly, but I get why it would bug some people. The motor hum on the WineCork Pro is pretty low, I doubt it’d cut through dinner conversation much.

[Sophie Nguyen]

Funny enough, I actually find the pop from the rabbit style kind of satisfying too, but I can see how it’d get annoying if you’re opening a few bottles in a row. The WineCork Pro motor hum is pretty low-key, I wouldn’t worry about it bothering anyone at dinner unless you’re dead silent.

[Cecily]

Guess I’ll just go for it then. The motor hum doesn’t sound like it’d be a big deal at the table compared to the pop. Thanks for the input, think I’ll pick one up.
