Product Description
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
Product Description
The new, improved OXO Good Grips Garlic Press is now even stronger than ever. With sturdy, die-cast zinc construction and a large capacity garlic chamber, the Garlic Press crushes garlic with a simple squeeze. A built-in cleaner allows for easy cleaning; just flip the handles over to clean out excess garlic. The soft handles are slightly arched for comfort and absorb pressure while you squeeze.

OXO vs Zyliss Susi Deluxe,
By Bortukan (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OXO Good Grips Garlic Press (Kitchen)
These two garlic presses seem to be the most popular on Amazon right now, and since I've used both, here's my two cents.
OXO: this is a much easier press to use, requiring far less hand strength. It's also the easiest to clean (just flip it backwards and the red plastic head cleans itself). Mine has done just fine in the dishwasher top rack. However, it can't handle unpeeled cloves, and does have a tendency to break at the hinge every 2 years or so (I used it almost every night). It also leaves slightly more unused garlic residue inside. Zyliss Susi Deluxe: I bought this after breaking my third OXO. It requires substantially more hand strength to use. It can press unpeeled cloves, but you have to squeeze quite hard to do this. It is slightly harder to clean than the OXO (use an included attachment), but still much easier than other garlic presses. This one leaves practically no unused garlic residue inside. I've only had it 4 months, so I can't comment on durability yet. Overall, I'd get the OXO if you have arthritis or if your hands aren't strong, or if ease of use and cleaning are very important to you; just plan on replacing it every couple of years if you use garlic every night. I'd get the Zyliss if you have strong hands and don't want to peel the garlic cloves, or if the breakage rate (or leaving behind a tiny quantity of garlic) bothers you. I'll probably stick with the Zyliss, but I'd buy my mom the OXO (and replacements).

Feels Great---Until it Breaks,
By A Customer
This review is from: OXO Good Grips Garlic Press (Kitchen)
I hate to bad-mouth OXO because I like the rest of their products. They cannot be beat for ergonomic comfort, and in that respect, the OXO Good Grips Garlic Press is no exception. The handles are extremely comfortable to grip, and with very small garlic cloves, minimal pressure is needed to crush them with this press. However, I have owned two of these OXO garlic presses, and both of them have broken while simply pressing a medium-sized garlic clove. The first time this happened, I though perhaps I had just gotten a defective press, and I optimistically purchased a second. Imagine my dismay when three months later, the exact same thing happened to the second press. Although this product looks big and sturdy, unfortunately, looks can be deceiving.

Mine broke, too!,
By A Customer
This review is from: OXO Good Grips Garlic Press (Kitchen)
Great features (the comfortable grips and self-cleaning) but it is not durable at all. Hinge broke while crushing a small clove of garlic and the press was less than 3 months old! Certainly not overused nor abused by any means. Even hand-washed despite the fact they say it's dishwasher safe.The press "looks" like good quality stainless steel but I've never seen stainless "snap" like this one did. I know of two other family members whose OXO presses broke at the hinge, too. So, I will not be wasting my money on this brand. I'll go with a true stainless steel press until this manufacturer can improve on this one.
