108 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At 0.43 lb, the Moss & Stone ELWO-USBR-BLK is among the two lightest electric openers reviewed here, tying closely with the Crenova Mini at 0.45 lb. That low weight makes it one of the easier units to handle for people with limited grip strength, and the black and stainless combination gives it a two-tone look that stands out from solid-color budget openers.
The 4.4-star rating from 108 reviews is encouraging but comes with the caveat that a smaller sample is more susceptible to skew than options with thousands of reviews. The price at $18.99 puts it in direct competition with the Ozeri OW01A and Crenova Mini, so the decision between them largely comes down to finish preference.
Like most openers in this price range, confirmed specs are thin. Weight and finish are the only data points available, so buyers who want to verify electrical characteristics or dimensions before ordering will need to check the live listing.

Performance notes
At 0.43 lb, this is the lightest or near-lightest opener in the lineup. The stainless steel finish with a black body is confirmed. No wattage, dimensions or voltage data are listed. The low mass suggests battery-powered rather than corded operation, which is standard at this price.
What buyers say
108 ratings averaging 4.4 stars is positive for the price, though the review pool is small enough that a handful of negative experiences could move the needle. Early adopter reviews on budget openers in this bracket tend to focus on whether the opener gets the cork out cleanly and whether the charge holds. The current score suggests both boxes are being checked.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Moss & Stone ELWO-USBR-BLK USB rechargeable?
The model designation USBR in the model number strongly suggests USB recharging, which is common for electric openers at this weight and price. For confirmation, check the current product listing, as the structured data does not explicitly confirm the charging method.
How does this compare to the Crenova WO-213B Mini at a similar price?
Both are under $20 and weigh under half a pound, making them the two lightest options here. The Crenova has a much larger review base at 1,400 ratings versus 108 for the Moss & Stone, which makes the Crenova's 4.6 score more statistically reliable. The Moss & Stone's two-tone black and stainless finish is the key differentiator if aesthetics matter.
