Title: First one I got broke, replacement has been good.
Product review: I requested this press for my birthday on the strength of the Cooks Illustrated review. It came (from Amazon) the other day, and it looks great.HOWEVER, when it came time to use it for the first time, I put in one clove, started to crush, and the press just broke in my hand! The short pin that forms one side of the top handle hinge broke away from the body. No garlic even made it through the seive!Since everyone seems to love this press, I'm willing to chalk it up to bad luck and give it another try. I'll be calling the company today to see about getting it replaced, and will update my review accordingly.UPDATE (2011): I called the company, explained what had happened, and a few weeks later received a replacement. We've been using it ever since (three years now) with no issues. It works fine. Easy enough to squeeze, easy enough to clean. Nothing revolutionary.
