It seems as though I am always purchasing a new garlic press for my husband, who can NOT get enough garlic! I used to be the primary cook in our family but since I allowed my husband in a couple of times, well, he's taking it over.

Anyway, the press works GREAT! More garlic actually goes through the mincing holes and the cleaner-upper-pusher-through gizmo does a fantastic job. We have put away or thrown away so many other presses that didn't do the job that well but felt the need to hang onto it in case the next one broke...Now we can throw out the others. The OXO is made so well that I don't think we'll need the others.

Oxo makes other great products too. So far, if it's an OXO, I/we have found it reliable and typically as good if not better than other brands. The fact that OXO products are fairly priced is another incentive for acquiring their product.

I received this set as a gift about 3 years ago, and I think it's great! The pizza cutter, which has fins on the rubber handle, is particularly comfortable, and it does a great job of slicing through thick Boboli pizzas. Unlike more cheaply-made versions, this garlic press feels firm and weighty in your hands, and it does an excellent job of producing finely minced garlic. The red rubber fingers ensure that the piece cleans easily and thoroughly. I did experience a problem with the garlic press, however: recently, the red cleaning fingers would no longer line up with the holes, and after I continued to use it this way for a few more weeks, the press eventually broke in two. Luckily, when I contacted OXO via email, they told me that they stand behind their products 100%, and so I have a new garlic press on the way as we speak. You can't lose with OXO!

These are great products that are a pleasure to use. The pizza cutter is easy to hold onto and cuts through even thick crust pizzas with little effort.

The garlic press is also very effective in its intended use. I especially like the non-slip handles which make using the press a real joy.

So far every thing I've ordered from OXO has been a welcome addition to my kitchen.

:o)

Both pieces are solid, quality constuction. The wheel doesn't have that wobble thing going on, and the garlic press is BIG enough to press the big cloves. I use them both all the time. At this price, you can't go wrong.

I have owned this garlic press for about 2 years and it failed the other night crushing pieces (I always slice them first) for my chili recipe. May seem hefty but it cal break at the pivot. I'm tired of companies making cheap kitchen equipment and will look for something that slices small pieces instead of "crushing" if this is a weak point for these products.

The part about the garlic press that should be so great is a piece of plastic that cleans the press after use. Mine broke off after a couple of uses.

The press is fine, just not as great as advertised.

I have no knowledge of the pizza wheel.

The price is great for the two pieces. I paid as much for one piece.

I bought this because of the reversible cleaning gizmo, which worked fine. But it was hard to press, left a lot behind, and ultimately the handle broke - the metal sheared into two pieces. Poor quality.

I purchased this set since I was an avid buyer of OXO kitchen utensils/products. I do think they are having quality problems. My garlic press broke when I was pressing a medium sized garlic clove. I wrote to OXO and have never received any reply. They say they have an unconditional guarantee on their products and this is the 3 item which I have had problems with and when I write to them they simply do not answer. The products are pleasant to use, but having used a garlic press less than 1 year (as well as their silicone spatula and angled measuring cups which show micro-cracks after a while)and a manufacturer who simply disregards customers, I think it better to purchase someone elses products.

I owned this press for approximately one year and was happy with it until it broke yesterday. I would expect a well-made press to last several years. My other complaint is that when it is placed in the dishwasher, water seeps into the handle covers, so dishwashing is not recommended. I will not buy another kitchen utensil by this brand because it does not last.

A handy tool for people who like to ease their work as much as possible.Looks good but can improve a little more.A nice gift to mom on Mother's day. This is a nice one for people who find little time to work manually. It is perfect fit for small pockets.
