Chef'n GarlicZoom Garlic Chopper, Handheld Garlic & Herb Slicer, Dishwasher Safe, 6.5 x 5.5 x 8.5cm, Green

Absolutely amazing, very good quality and easy to use, blades are sharp and it chops garlic beautifully

Works great and easy to clean

The best chopper ever!

This little zoomer is so time saving, saves your hands and chopping board from garlic odour and evenly chops garlic. However, the two clear circle parts have 1cm in diameter holes that can collect water and you can't clean in there very effectively.I use a straw cleaner to get in there every couple of uses and always leave it sitting upright to air dry. The rest of the device is completely fine and easy to clean.

I used to own the original Garlic Zoom but I lost it. I replaced it with a 'cheap copy' which worked but was a bit stiffer than the original and ultimately the cog wheel snapped rendering it useless.Although the original design worked it was quite fiddly and the old single cog wheel design sometimes made it lose traction on damp surfaces. This new version is greatly improved as follows:1. The lid(s) open much wider and make it easier to add the garlic cloves2. The wheels are larger and both have cogs to drive the blades - works much better with less effort3. Much easier to clean with no fiddly corners for chopped garlic to get stuck inOne thing that I didn't realise first time I used it was that the wheel and blade mechanism slides out from the main case which really improves getting all the chopped garlic out and rinsing it out to clean it. I've included a photo showing the simplicity of it with the blade mechanism removed.You have to make sure the blades are vertical to remove the mechanism though. It does tell you this in the instructions but I didn't read them and in the product video it very briefly states this in the last millisecond!If you already have, and use, the original Garlic Zoom get one of these. You won't be disappointed. If you've never had a Garlic Zoom and you ever have a need to chop garlic this is one of the most useful kitchen gadgets you can buy.

Excellent product works really well

Sharp, easier to use than a press especially if your hands don't work so well. Pretty sturdy, I've had mine for years and it's still going strong. Bought this one as a gift. Don't overload it, it will work but takes more effort than needed. I use mine for ginger as well, lose less of the juice with it. Fits well in your hand. Great value for money.

Overall a bit disappointed not as good as I thought it would be, only takes a couple of garlic cloves, chops OK but leaves quite a bit of garlic behind. Quite fiddly job getting blades aligned so you can remove for washing. It does what it says chops garlic!
