Title: Much too hard to press
Review: I had an older, small Zyliss press that worked just fine but finally gave up the ghost. Ordered this based on the great reviews (crossed my fingers and ignored the few not so great reviews). I am a woman with average hands and strength (please don't ask me to define average), but pressing a clove of garlic through this thing was a real workout. First, it is a rather large press so getting your hand(s) around it for good leverage is a stretch. I tried it with peeled and unpeeled garlic. I snipped off the garlic tips. I cut the garlic in half. I put only one clove in at a time. Still, it required a huge effort for me to press the garlic through. Called my husband and, although he could manage it, he, too, thought it was much too hard and uncomfortable to deal with. Not sure why there is such a difference of opinion on how easy/tough this is to use, but I am going to purchase something smaller and hope for the best.
