MANNKITCHEN Stainless Steel Garlic Press, Heavy Duty Professional Grade Double Lever-Assisted Garlic Mincer with High Capacity Reservoir - Easy to Clean and Rust Free Garlic Crusher

Needed to replace our 15-year-old garlic press after a weld failed on it. I had no idea that the size of our previous press was apparently immense compared to most that are out there, as I tried 2 others prior to this one and the tool’s well was barely big enough for a tiny garlic clove, much less the 2-3 cloves I was used to being able to press. Beyond that, the other presses rusted in the dishwasher. I decided to step up my game and spend a little more in order to get this press. So far I’m happy I did. It is very easy to use, as the mechanism allows little strength to easily press any garlic clove. Although it still isn’t as big as my previous press, you can at least fit a very large or a couple of smaller cloves into the press, and then easily mince them with little effort. The quality of the finish and mechanism is excellent. It’s built like a tank and is comfortable to use. I have tried pressing cloves without peeling them first, which I’ve tried a couple of times and it works (sadly, I usually forget until I’ve already peeled them!). Cleaning it is fairly easy, as long as you rinse off the press right after you use it (pretty much the same as any other), and then I throw it in the dishwasher and there have been zero negative results of doing this. I’d consider this worth the cost and it seems like it will have a place in my kitchen for years to come.

My friends thought I was crazy spending that much on a simple garlic press, but it's so worth it! It has a quality build, has plenty of room for the cloves, and really shines with how easy it is to clean. First, it feels weighty and strong. Compared to the presses that I have used in the past, this has a nice bulk to it. I definitely feel the quality. know it's going to really force the cloves through the holes Second, I like the room it has~ large garlic cloves fit right in with no reduction is how easy it is to be pressed. Third, it's super easy to clean. The pieces open up (without falling apart) so you can easily reach the nook and crannies. Other presses is just a cup with holes in it, and I found them frustrating to clean to the point where I preferred mincing by hand This is the best manual garlic press I've used! With its tough feel and quality, I doubt I would ever need to replace it. It's expensive but worth every penny 🥳

I have to admit, I was feeling a bit hesitant first because of the price. And I had high expectations after pulling the trigger. And, oh boy, I did not get disappointed with this one. The feeling of holding it in my hand after unpacking, it felt like a small dumbbell, so heavy, solid and well-made. The next step was proving to wifey that the expense was justified, so I whipped up some Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. And again, what a difference to my old generic press. Easy pressing (with skins), easy loading, easy quick cleaning in between (removing the skins). General cleaning was a breeze because of the open construction (no smelly hands because the frame works already like a stainless steel soap), and wifey was appeased with some delicious Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. I'm now considering this press as Christmas gift for friends. It's that good. Trust me. Get it.

A premium price for a heavy duty tool. Easiest press to clean as the holes are easy to expose. If the press handles were just a bit longer, you’d get more leverage to crush the garlic. Then you can load up the hopper to put in more cloves.

I’ve just received this garlic press and have only used it a few times. So far this is the best press I’ve used. I have four other presses and they don’t even come close to the mannkitchen press. Simple to use. Simply to clean. Comfortable. And no garlic squeezed up the side of a cup — which every other press I’ve owned did.

This is an excellent product, I love it. Subtracting one star due to stains showing up even after the first use.

We ordered a second one in hopes of receiving a good quality garlic press. The issue is the machining from the manufacturer is AWFUL. There is so much play in the lever arm, that it is no wonder so many people have reported it breaking on them. I compared them to a $10 Chinese competitor and that one is machined to perfection… so I suggest doing more research.

Though this came highly recommended, I was as nervous as anyone about spending such a large amount on a garlic press. Who wouldn't be? However, I have now owned the press for six months and used it nearly every day ( I cook a lot of Italian and Asian dishes, so garlic is a staple ingredient). Here's what I can report: You really can use it without peeling the garlic cloves. I sometimes still do, mostly out of habit, but it's genuinely not necessary. It's just as easy to clean as they say. No more picking out clinging pieces from a recessed cup. The whole press flips open and offers easy access to be thoroughly cleaned. It's fast. The leverage you get is amazing and it crushes the cloves quickly and easily. It's durable. After half a year of daily use it still looks like it did the moment it came out of the box. I genuinely have no concerns about this press lasting for the rest of my life. Now to be fair, not everyone needs this tool: if you don't really cook at home, or if you never need to do more than one or two cloves of garlic at a time, then you can pass on it; I won't hold it against you. But if you ever make garlic noodles or Thai beef bowls or Bulgogi or your own pasta sauce, you know what a pain it can be to press or mince six or eight garlic cloves. If that's you, and you're on the fence about this, let me tip you over: you won't regret it.
