 Fine Puree of Garlic = More Evenly Flavored Food Oct 17, 2025
I am thrilled to use this press every time! I do not push cloves through with the skin on and it is so easy someone with arthritis COULD do it! Knocking the skin off by banging the clove with the flat side of my chefs knive against the cutting board is so easy, why wouldn't you?
More importantly, the quality of the garlic flavor in the recipe is much greater than hand mincing! I made the mistake of buying the OXO press and am so glad that it broke (after only one year!) because buying the Zyliss was a vast improvement.
 Fine for pressing garlic, still not easy to clean Jul 15, 2025
It's nice to not have to peel the garlic, but
1) you always end up missing out on some of the garlic still stuck in the peel
2) you're left with a bit of a mess that you still have to dig out and clean in the press.
Now I prefer just getting the pre-peeled garlic from the store since you can chop it or crush it with ease and you don't have garlic skin floating around in the cupboard.
I ended up replacing this with one of those stainless steel Garlic Press that look like a butterfly knife. It is much easier for getting those last bits of garlic but most importantly of all, I was finally able to achieve my dream of putting a garlic press in the dishwasher and it coming out clean!
 Hard to clean, not pretty. Overall not imPRESSed. Jun 02, 2025
Hello,
I bought this thinkin I'd b saving $ compared to the better presses (they have teeth that fit through the holes in the press...so its easier to clean). but, this one is almost impossible to clean if you don't start right away. So this press is not impressive.

 The perfect press May 18, 2025
I bought this press a few months ago and it has been absolutely fantastic. It presses up to two or three average sized cloves with no problem. True, it doesn't come with a plastic cleaning attachment but washing the front panel with a toothbrush seems to work just fine

Excellent garlic press Apr 15, 2025
I bought this garlic press to replace my broken older zyliss model. I was at first disappointed that my older model snapped at the hinges within 3 years of use. I loved the garlic press and wasn't sure if i should buy another once since it broke so fast, but wasn't sure if another garlic press would work as well.
So glad I decided to stick with new susi model. It works so much better than the old one. This new model has a great teeth feature on the plunger and it helps grip the garlic and push it through without much effort. It is also much smaller than the old jumbo model i had, I was afraid it wouldn't be able to handle the large garlic pieces. So today i threw in a very big garlic piece with that hard part of the garlic attached to it, i didn't think i'd be able to even close the press cause the garlic was sticking a quarter of the way out. But surprisingly the press went down so easily! I didn't even need to put much strength into it. The older model always required me to ask for assistance or required that i cut off the hard part of the garlic. I'd also always peel off the skins with the older model cause it helped push the garlic through easier, but this new model is easier with the skins.
The teeth on the plunger of the new model helps a lot too, it pulls the skin out once the garlic is pressed through. The older model didn't have this feature and i would have to use my fingers to pull the skin out.
What i also love about this model is that it doesn't come with the plastic cleaner!! I never used that plastic thing with the old model, it just became a piece of junk in my drawer, what a waste of plastic and space (now my old garlic press is broken and that plastic thing is still sitting in the drawer, i wonder what i could do with it). I agree with another reviewer, i don't understand this problem that many ppl have with cleaning the press. First off, the teeth pulls the skin out for you, it's a great feature. If anything else is stuck in the holes I just use a toothbrush to brush it out. I stab the holes with the brush. If I'm lazy about use the toothbrush, i'll just use my fingers to rub back and forth on the holes, it works way better than that plastic cleaner.
Anyways, highly recommend this garlic press! I just hope it doesn't break as fast as the old one. Oh, the hinges on this model look a lot sturdier than the old one, looks metallic whereas the old one was aluminum.
