This press provides an easy, clean way to mince garlic. Just swing over the handle for easy cleaning. Soft-grip ergonomic handle. Superior design and quality.
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

Love This Garlic Press!:
I don't review many priducts but I had to come to the defense of my favorite garlic press!
Maybe I'm just unaware of all the stellar garlic presses available nowadays, (this is the only kind I've ever owned) but I find absolutely nothing to compain about here. We bought one of these witha agift certificate we received for our wedding - 16 years ago. No, we don't have that same one - it broke, but I blame my misuse more than any flaw in quality or design.

Never worked that well, and then broke!:
I'm probably pretty hard on garlic presses, as we cook with garlic almost every day, but I still couldn't believe that I managed to snap the handle off of this one after only a few months of use.

Lasted 9+ years.:
I used this press for more than 9 years approx 2-5 times per a month without problems. Just recently the hinge has become misaligned so I feel I can not squeeze it shut all the way and it is not aligned when I invert it to clean out the holes. I do feel I got my moneys worth.
Bad ergonomics, inefficient pressing, and cheap construction:
I dislike this press for three reasons, and I don't recommend buying it. 1) The ergonomic design is poor--there's virtually no leverage on the garlic clove, and it takes quite a bit of hand strength to operate, even for my husband. 2) The plunger does not press the garlic clove all the way through, so there is significant waste left behind. I constantly find myself having to add an extra clove to a recipe to account for the unused garlic that inefficient press leaves behind. 3) Lastly, the metal material... more info
