Title: Dreadful - forms wins out over function
Product review: This looks like a cool gadget, and the self-cleaning swiper do-dah is a great idea. The catch - it really doesn't press garlic well. It smooshes it down, but yields very little through the holes. You can squeeze like crazy, and the handles (melamine?) actually feel like they might snap before you get a good clean squish of garlic popping out the other side. I'm an average size female with average strength in an average kitchen, and I can't get this sucker to work. My 99c metal garlic press from China does the job MUCH better. Do not buy this gadget, it is not worth it. If anyone from Kuhn Rikon would like to discuss this with me, I would love to. Come on you (normally) resourceful Swiss, you can do better than this.
