No Depth Adjustment - Updated
I don't like this corker and I really wanted to. The cork isn't pushed far enough into the bottle (see pic 1). Others have said it pushed theirs in too far. Regardless, there's no adjustment. Given how easy it is to use, I'll buy another double lever corker instead of a floor one, but I'll buy one that can be adjusted. This one's going back.
UPDATE: 9/19/15 - I watched several YouTube videos and ran across one that said you should put your corks in water for 1-2 minutes. This wasn't to soften them up, but to provide LUBRICATION for bottle insertion. I tried it and lo & behold, the cork went in perfectly (see second picture). I'll be keeping this corker now, but am still docking 1 star for lack of instructions which prompted me to start the return process. After reading many comments on this corker, I have a feeling this is the missing key for many people.
