Mini Garlic Press, Green

This is a little gadget that is excellent to slice and dice garlic. The small size of the particles is perfect for me. They are slightly larger then you can have from the hand-held garlic press, but I personally prefer this one. It easy to clean and very easy to use. The only warning I can give: after you use it, you need to wash it right away (as you do with any garlic press anyway), but if you are in a hurry and do not have too much time, be careful when you put this press apart for washing. There are two additional parts that can be removed from each side (the plastic green one) - which allows cleaning to be a very easy, but at the same time you will have many parts to put back, so try not to loose them : ). I personally have a kitchen towel on the table next to the sink on which I put all parts after washing them. Then I dry the plastic parts with another towel and assemble the garlic press. I like it very much and will use for long time.

very disappointed. I love the idea, but the product has to be redesigned with better/stronger components.The first time I used it to press 10 cloves of garlic, the inside metal blades broke after the fifth piece of garlic. The blades literally fell apart and collapsed into the drawer below. I had to pull out the fragments of metal from the garlic slices. It looks sturdy but I didn't expect it would break on first use. It needs much stronger metal blades. They are way too flimsy. Being Italian, I need to have a garlic press that will work!

I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers are chopping if it's breaking/bending the blades on this item; petrified garlic? It sliced through large and small cloves plenty good. I didn't have to place them especially carefully, either. Easily went through 3 whole uncut cloves of medium size without any trouble. The only thing I will say is removing the blades to be cleaned is a bit of pain the first few times: They REALLY take a bit of faith and a lot of prying to pop off! I was afraid I'd break something! But they did (fly!) off harmlessly and were simple enough to clean and replace. It will probably get easier the more I use it.

I've been looking for something that was easy to use and dishwasher-safe with stainless steel blades. This product was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I had been using a little garlic mincer that rolled on wheels with a rotating blade, but the minced garlic was difficult to remove from the bottom of the small receptacle and was surrounded by the blade. This garlic press has a little draw that pulls out which makes the garlic easily accessible. I also love the dual feature of this product where you can either mince or slice the garlic. It fits nicely in a kitchen draw and doesn't take up much space. Highly recommended if you like using fresh garlic like we do!

This thing is disappointing right out of the box. One of the lids doesn't close all the way, as if the hinge is sprung or the lid itself isn't shaped properly. Then, one of the cleaning grids broke in half the first time I removed it. (The cleaning grid is supposed to be taken out a lot, so its fragility is problematic.) It's an attractive product, and it does seem to do a good job of cubing or slicing garlic, but it's hard to clean because the garlic stays attached to the metal. Finally, note that this of course doesn't mush garlic in the way that a normal garlic press would. That's a feature of the product, not a flaw, but something to bear in mind when ordering.

It is very small. Large cloves need to be cut in half in order to use it. Another issue, is the chopping side doesn't chop the garlic very finely. If it is a thick clove, the chunks are as thick as that clove. It doesn't mince it, which is what I had imagined it doing. It was also hard to clean, getting the pieces out of the blades is a pain. And the slicing blades bent the first time I used that side and now that side won't close.It is a great idea, but the product itself wasn't great.

First, we love the product! It does everything advertised--better than the old one we had. The best part is the cleaning grid that pulls all of the little garlic pieces out from the green part of the press. It makes clean-up a snap.Now for the best part. The customer service is fantastic! One of our cleaning grids broke in half. I posted a question here last Sunday to see if they sell a new cleaning grid. They did not, but within 3 days I had a completely new unit. Free of charge. I could not have asked for anything more.

I find this an efficient way to chop or slice my garlic. It is a great design. I like the "cleaners' that are included, much better than the little combs that usually come with a device like this one. Unfortunately before we even used the press, the cleaner piece bent as we were removing it so it is already cracked. It is quite a tight fit. I do love that your garlic goes into a little container, just be careful to turn the opening in the correct direction. It is a nice size and easy to use and it comes apart for easy cleaning.
