These do what they're intended to do, as they keep wine fresh for several days. They aren't as good as the preservation systems that use inert gas, however those systems are a lot more money.

The instructions say to pump the air out until the gauge is in the red area. Follow these instructions to the letter! If you keep pumping and pumping until the gauge is all the way at the end of the red area, you're going to put so much pressure on the stoppers that the rubber on the flanges will crack. This will cause the stopper to become unusable.

So do not pump too much air out of the bottle and create high pressure if you don't want to frequently replace the stoppers. This is an acceptable device for its price point.

I like it. Used it with red and white wine. Works fine. It shows you how much to pump. It will keep vacuum for a week or so. The wine is preserved only for 3-4 days though. After which the wine will ferment and the taste will alter. NOTE: pull the little cork in the middle all the way up BEFORE pumping the air. Otherwise it won't work!

These are really junk! the flanges in the rubber stoppers break apart after only a few uses and no longer hold vacuum!

Honest reviews on Metrokane V-Gauge Stoppers-Set of 2

I got drawn by the novelty that there is a dial, wine, and vacuum stopper...genius right? Somewhere along the way metrokane decided to cut corners, which is sad because i own a lot of their products. Like many said, the rubber part disintegrates after a while (6 months for me). Meanwhile the cheap grey original vacuum stoppers have lasted 4+ years for me. Stick to the classic.

I have used my metrokane vacuum stoppers for over a year and they work great. I like the fact they have a guage so I feel confident there is a vacuum. it lasts a week. the wine still tastes fresh, even pinot noir which goes off quickly. I wore out the pump and had to replace. the stoppers still work although one got stuck in the red zone so I pried off the plastic cover and pushed it back to zero (blue) . works ok again. the new vacuum product 6254 is electric and looks spiffy but no vacuum guage. add a vacuum guage to the electric vacuum stoppers and I will buy one. Nerd alert: Don't expect microtor vacuums. This is wine not deep space.
