Title: Turned me into a garlic press lover!
Review: I owned a garlic press for many years but it sat in our drawer barely used. When I did take it out I felt frustrated. This new press has changed that for me! I find myself reaching for it frequently, especially while making salad dressing. It's easy to use and clean. Very sturdy and crushes garlic easily. Highly recommend for applications that require finely minced/grated garlic!

Title: Best Garlic Press
Review: I bought this item for myself nine years ago and use it regularly (at least once a week). Its performance hasn’t diminished, it looks brand new, has a generous capacity for large garlic cloves (I only use regular garlic, not elephant), and cleans easily. I usually hand wash it as soon as I’m done with it so that nothing dries on but on the odd occasion I don’t get to it, it unfolds such that all areas can be cleaned with a small brush. Or just put it in the dishwasher! I love that it’s made entirely of steel. Like my other Kuhn Rikon products, this press is of great quality. Since my first purchase in 2015, I’ve gifted this garlic press three times. I know there are those who say you don’t need a press; you can simply mince by hand but this is a kitchen tool I wouldn’t go without!

Title: My favorite garlic press.
Review: Kitchen implements are a pretty individualized thing. Every cook is different, after all, and what works for some just doesn't work for others. This isn't the most ergonomic design, and it's really built for medium-sized hands for people with a reasonable grip strength. If you have a weak grip, you're going to want something with more leverage; if you have large, meaty hands, you'll have to take care that you don't pinch part of your hand in the handle.That said, this works incredibly well for me. The leverage is right, the fulcrum is directly over the clove, I don't get caught in anything, and I can very efficiently get through a lot of cloves of garlic with this. It will take one large clove or two medium cloves easily—you don't even have to peel them, and I often don't, because it makes cleanup slightly easier—and the result is a very nicely minced/pressed garlic.It is, of course, a garlic press. There will be leakage on occasion, and occasionally bits will jet out. This is common to all garlic presses, and it's more about the nature of garlic than it is about the press itself. That said, that leakage is fairly easy to deal with (the handle opens all the way, not only lifting the grating plate but exposing everywhere any escaping garlic might be so that you can collect it all).Cleanup is relatively fun compared to other garlic presses I've owned. When you open the handle, the grating plate lifts up and is ridiculously easy to clean out, especially if you've been doing unpeeled garlic (just pull off the peel under running water, which clears most of the leftover garlic as well). A vigorous rinse under tap water will generally do the trick. With other garlic presses, it's sometimes difficult to get the bits of garlic out of the grating plate, but this one is thin enough that there's no trouble at all. If you've been unfortunate enough not to clean it out immediately after pressing garlic, letting it soak for 30 minutes will generally free up any dried-on cruft.The construction is sturdy, and it feels solid. If you have an exceptionally strong grip, you could carelessly break this, I suppose, but it seems in no danger from me.I've owned two of these, and had no troubles with either one of them.

Title: Almost perfect tool.
Review: ProsAlmost-perfect solid construction and materialsSuper easy cleaning with no special tools requiredConsPinches palm at full pressJune 2020: still works like brand new after 6 years of service. I've been using it anywhere from 1x to 4x per month to press garlic. That pinching handle still annoys but liveable.Now a bit of supplemental explanation about the pros and cons....ProWhat i thought was a design flaw about the design may well have been a clever part of the design--the 1mm space between the two pressing surfaces at full press leaves a thin film of garlic material. Initially i thought its wasteful and thus could be a defect but after a few uses, i realized having a thin film residue actually makes cleaning easier because peeling this film lifts away with it the garlic remnants that are still lodged in the little press holes. Thus, this makes it unnecssary to use a brush or any other special tool to clean like other presses.ConOnly one, thats right. At full press, the two handles join together completely similar to an animal bite, thus, it tends to pinch the palm of your hand....not overly painful but annoying. (See attached fotos). If the two handles left 0.5-1" of space in between at full press, then that would have avoided this problem. I would have given it 5 stars then.

Title: Simply the BEST!
Review: If you are a chef/cook who uses fresh garlic often, THIS IS THE GARLIC PRESS FOR YOU!!! I am BLOWN away by this kitchen tool!!! Easy to use, ergonomic design feels great in your hand, easy to clean, substantially manufactured. I balked a bit at the price but decided to give it a go as my press broke. I ordered the initial replacement (off of the Amazon site) that was all stainless and appeared to be a good press. WAS I MISTAKEN! It was difficult (almost impossible) to clean, difficult to use, and all around clumsy.This KUHN RIKON press will be a family "hand me down" to my grandchildren's grandchildren. It is that well made. Do not hesitate! Purchase this press! I promise you will be elated with your decision!

Review: This is simply the best garlic press I have ever used, effortless smooth operation with perfect functionality. Folds open for easy cleaning with no parts to loose. It’s a combination of superb engineering and beautiful form. High grade stainless steel for durability. It’s so good that when I lost my first one during a home move I had to buy another, tried some cheap ones but still came back to this one. Sure it’s a bit dearer but it will last

Review: Sarà il quarto spremiaglio che provo, ed è l'ultimo perché finalmente ho trovato l'ottimo (e lo sarebbe stato comunque perché ne avevo abbastanza di provare aggeggi che non vanno da nessuna parte)Acciaio massiccio di ottima qualità, e soprattutto meccanismo a leva 2:1 che moltiplica la forza... spreme anche le pietre!Superficie della leva spremente laccata (!), si apre (senza pezzi volanti da perdere in giro) per lavarsi più che comodamenteForse è colpa mia, ma finora tutti gli spremi-aglio mi avevano deluso - ci vuole una forza sovrumana, lasciano un sacco di residuoLo consiglio vivamente, anche se il prezzo fa paura per un semplice attrezzo da cucinaSottolineo il meccanismo a leva che amplifica la vostra forza, questa è la principale differenza con tutti gli altri [che ho visto/provato]Alla fine ho speso di più in bufale, avessi preso questo all'inizio avrei risparmiato
