Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this press after spending way too much time one should spend online comparing garlic presses, and I have to say I've been nothing but disappointed with it compared to the previous garlic press I owned. First, I'm used to a press moving approximately 95% of the garlic through the bottom and leaving say only 5% left in the "container", this, however, doesn't as much "press" the garlic through the holes in the bottom as it does just flatten it like a pancake! I would guess that maybe 60% of the garlic clove passes through the holes while the rest of it just gets smashed in the bottom of the containing metal piece. Secondly, the way in which the “container” piece has been built/manufactured, all sides aren’t welded together, thus small gaps exist towards the back part of the unit where garlic gets lodged and almost impossible to “easily” clean. Bottom line is compared to my previous garlic press, this thing is a joke! Having used it for a little over a month now, and encouraging friends and family to try it when over at the house as well, all of us would not recommend it to anyone considering a new garlic press for their kitchen. In my personal opinion do yourself a favor and pick up the one IKEA sells. For the price, and overall quality of construction, you can’t beat it! https://www.amazon.com/Ikea-000-891-63-Koncis-Garlic-Stainless/dp/B00PNKYZQC
