OrblueGarlic Press [Premium], Stainless Steel Mincer, Crusher & Peeler Set-Professional Grade, Easy Clean, Dishwasher Safe & Rust-proof, 7.5", Metal, Black

I’ve been using this press for around 18 months now and must admit that it crushes garlic perfectly. It would be 5 stars across the board but for a serious design flaw. The press “bucket”, where you put the garlic, is made from a single piece of folded stainless steel which is then unwelded. This leaves small gaps at the edges which get filled with fibrous crushed garlic. This is very difficult to clean (I use a pointed knife to clear this out before putting it in the dishwasher). Some people may consider this not a major problem but I find it Irritating to the point that I’m now looking for an alternative press.

I bought two as I use garlic a lot and wanted to be able to use the dishwasher. Very pleased with them - arrived pretty fast direct from China, and they are easy to use. I cut off the stem end of the cloves, push them in and crunch the handles together without peeling the cloves. Result is finely-minced garlic dropping into pan, and the remaining papery leaves can easily be poked out using a knife, with none of the flaff of dried leaves sticking to your fingers, and better garlic flavour than when chopped by hand (certainly in my case!). The handles provide good leverage (I am late-sixties with not very strong wrists after the ravages of time, surgery or broken arm in each arm, so although I may use two hands for the crunch, it is very easy to do). Being pure stainless steel, no problems for future with paint coming off etc.

Having used this product twice already for garlic and ginger, I have to say I'm very impressed of the ease of using the press as you don't have to put a whole lot of effort into squeezing down for the garlic/ginger to be crushed.It is also easy to clean and store, and there has been no sign of the joint becoming weak.The super nifty rocker/peeler has been such a time saver when preparing meals as well!Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to buy this! You get what you pay for!

Believe It or not, I have bought 4 garlic press I as many months(I use these press every day for personal use!)The fist two, from a French supermarket, cast metal! broke at the hinges.The next two from British supermarket were very inefficient (more squeezed then stayed In) hard to clean!So believe me this is the best I have used!Fast to use, hardly anything squeezes out, east to clean and you can feel it’s a strong machine!

Very disappointed hard to use and grip get little/small amount of garlic out .If the cloves are large it really struggles and I’ve not got the strength or grip and I’m not weak .I would return but have thrown the box away but wouldn’t recommend-waste of money
