Amazon.com Review
Say goodbye to slicing, dicing, and chopping impossibly tiny cloves of garlic. Using the Good Grips garlic press, the work is done for you with just one firm squeeze and no strain on your hands. The press is as easy to clean as it is to use: just flip the handles and the built-in cleaner punches the remains right through.The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip, flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing, processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while still providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

 Snapped in two! June 21, 2008
An American Abroad (New Delhi)
I bought this press about 8 months back, using it only about once a week. Today, it simply snapped in half while I was press a couple of medium cloves! Oxo products are usually well-made, but this is a "lemon."
 Worked for only three years June 3, 2008
Eric (Monterey, CA)
I know I shouldn't complain too much since I used it for three years, but I just get upset when you buy a product that breaks after several years. It cracked on both sides of a handle and wouldn't put any pressure on the garlic to push through. I'm now on the market for a new one and don't recommend this one.
 I enjoy it June 1, 2008

I think this is easy to use and is a nice tool to have in the kitchen.
I hate this press April 29, 2008
C. Muller
I purchased this garlic press to replace an old cheapy garlic press I bought at the local grocery store years ago. I liked the way my old one worked but it had a separate tool to clean out the holes in the press that I was constantly losing. Without the little cleaning tool the garlic would not come out of the holes unless I poked them clean with a toothpick or old tooth brush. When I saw the cleaning tool attached to this garlic press I though my problem was solved and I replaced my old press with this one. What a mistake! Yes clean up is easier, but that is the only good thing I have to say about this product. It requires far more hand strength than my old one and when I am pressing garlic it leaks the "juice" out the top and it ends up running down my arm (I love garlic, but not so much that I want to smell like it when I am done cooking). These two things alone would not be enough to make me hate it; they would just be annoyances to put up with if the thing actually worked, but it does not work. Every time, without fail, it leaves a touch over an eighth of an inch of smashed garlic inside the press. While a touch over an eighth of an inch may not sound like much, you must understand it is over the whole surface of the inside of the press. It takes the garlic, smashes it flat over the whole surface and then, if it is still thick enough, begins pressing it through the holes. As a result, if you are using a small clove of garlic, 98% of the garlic stays inside the press and never gets pressed out through the holes. If you want to actually get a small clove of garlic through the holes you need to add another clove so there is enough thickness to push the first clove through. It is so aggravating. If they had called this a garlic smasher I would sing its praises because it can smash garlic with the best of them. But since this is suppose to be a garlic press I am throwing mine away and trying my luck with another brand.

I've had one of these presses from a few years and it recently failed. I sent an email to OXO and they promptly sent me a new one, no questions asked. Back in business and with service like that why would you buy anything else?
