Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Metrokane Golden Rabbit, Titanium
Customer Review: Beautiful and solid
Summary: 5 Stars
I think it may be more beautiful than the picture! It's definitely even shinier than shown. The gold tone is a little darker than real gold, but very striking.
This thing is HEAVY! My kitchen scale says it weighs 2 pounds, 5 ounces. I personally love that, since it's such solid construction. Everything is metal, including the "gears," which was important to me.
In case anyone is confused like I was, it's die-cast metal, plated in gold-colored titanium. I don't think there's any gold in it, nor is it solid titanium. Probably obvious, but... Also, it does have the nice bristly rubber pads on the handle like the other Rabbits, which makes it very comfortable. The black-and-clear clamshell box that it comes in is basically the same as for others.
Functionally, the action is very smooth. I just opened a bottle and it moved cleanly.
If asked for a "con," I was disappointed to notice that the foil cutter has only two cutting wheels, unlike the four in my original Rabbit. But it didn't make a different on the bottle I just opened.
I can't wait to invite people over and wow them.
Customer Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
We'll, this is made of entirely die cast metals. With all other 'Rabbits', there are some components made of rubber and plastic...with this one no. And it is solid metal coated with Titanium (not "spray painted") and will not corrode as other metals will. I must admit that $200 is steep but I purchased mine as a Gold Box special for $99 and I absolutely love it! Also, this carries a ten year warranty which is 10 timess the standard warranty.Customer Review: Run Screaming
Summary: 1 Stars
I have a metrokane rabbit. Pretty - Yes, worked well - Yes for about a year. Then the mechanism came apart. Metrokane WILL NOT stand behind their product for more than 12 months. Which I find amazing considering that a knock-off of the rabbit can be purchased for about $30. Buy a knock-off they work as just as well. Don't believe that the additional cost of the rabbit gives you a superior product.
