4.0 out of 5 stars Good idea....with some work., January 24, 2004

I agree with some of the other posts. It is a good idea, but not entirely foolproof. First, fresh garlic does not last forever - every week or so, toss out unused garlic, clean with at least some hot water, and re-fill with fresh cloves. Second, the comments about odor are correct. However, there are a couple ways to overcome this: One, wipe it off with a paper towel after every use. It only takes a second. Two, store it in a gallon-size ziploc bag in the fridge. It take no more effort and space to do this. If you want to go a step further, put a little baking soda in the bag. These are effortless solutions that take maybe 90% of odors. I also keep it in the egg compartment in the door (since, ironically, it is the worst place to store eggs) as an additional barrier and quick access.

For me, it does not take the place of freshly prepared garlic in nice dishes -- but it works very well for a quick addition of nearly-fresh garlic. I recommend it if you use garlic frequently, or would but for the trouble. If you buy the minced garlic in jars, you'll get your money back in a few months by using this and buy heads of garlic.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good idea, bad invention, November 18, 2003

Now the idea behind this is really great, toss in some fresh garlic and you can have it at the ready to squeeze. The press itslef is of bad design. A girlfriend had one in her fridge, and everything smelled and tasted of garlic. Now I am a garlic fanantic, but so much as I love the taste of galic on my palate, I do not enjoy it in Sunny Delight. The fridge was overcoem with the smel, still smelled of garlic weeks later and the Sunny D as well as milk were tossed..

4.0 out of 5 stars very efficient, January 9, 2007

I used to have a previous garlic press, similar to this one, a bit more efficent than this one, but nevertheless,I find this working just fine, with the clean up,it's a bit more messy, the pressing head is not attached to the screw, and it's very hard to pull it out, but overall, I am very satisfied with the product. An added little bonus is the cutter, I really like that feature.
