Title: Bad ergonomics, inefficient pressing, and cheap construction
Review: I dislike this press for three reasons, and I don't recommend buying it. 1) The ergonomic design is poor--there's virtually no leverage on the garlic clove, and it takes quite a bit of hand strength to operate, even for my husband. 2) The plunger does not press the garlic clove all the way through, so there is significant waste left behind. I constantly find myself having to add an extra clove to a recipe to account for the unused garlic that inefficient press leaves behind. 3) Lastly, the metal material used for the hinges is poorly made. Due to #1, bad leverage, I found myself having to press both handles of the press against the counter (instead of squeezing it in my hand). The first one I bought broke the entire hinge, and the second one bent the hinge. I'm usually a big fan of OXO products, but this one is a loser.
