Product Description The Good Grips Garlic Press makes it easy and cleaner to add fresh garlic to any recipe. The soft, comfortable handles cushion your hands and absorb pressure while you squeeze. To clean the press, simply flip the handles over to clean out excess garlic with the built-in cleaner.
Amazon.com Review Say goodbye to slicing, dicing, and chopping impossibly tiny cloves of garlic. Using the Good Grips garlic press, the work is done for you with just one firm squeeze and no strain on your hands. The press is as easy to clean as it is to use: just flip the handles and the built-in cleaner punches the remains right through.The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip, flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing, processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while still providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

Yup, it broke. December 1, 2008 I've had two of these and they have both broken at the hinge with only occasional use over a short time. I like Oxo, too, but this product is not worth it.
Great if you know how to use it! October 24, 2008 I've owned this for a few years. I quickly learned to move the handles down a bit before I put in the dishwasher. Give it a good shake and let dry and it's ready for the next use. I use it at least once or twice a week for the last few years. This by far is the best garlic press that I've ever owned. I love the fact that you can clean it by inverting the handle and that it can go in the dishwasher. I've had other garlic presses and this is the best that I've used thus far. It is easy to use with arthritic hands.
Great press, but know that it WILL break October 19, 2008 I've had maybe six of these over the past 10 years and they've ALL broken. Some break faster than others. You just never know when it's going to give. But I've gone back again and again because it really does a wonderful job.
I've always thought it was just me (and the heavy work load I put on these -- I cook with garlic sometimes 3 times a week) but I see here that breakage is problem for others as well. My last one broke last week, so this time I'm going to try the Trudeau Garlic Press, which looks very similar in design and has better reviews.
Happy crushing!
Snapped in two! June 21, 2008 I bought this press about 8 months back, using it only about once a week. Today, it simply snapped in half while I was press a couple of medium cloves! Oxo products are usually well-made, but this is a "lemon."
Worked for only three years June 3, 2008 I know I shouldn't complain too much since I used it for three years, but I just get upset when you buy a product that breaks after several years. It cracked on both sides of a handle and wouldn't put any pressure on the garlic to push through. I'm now on the market for a new one and don't recommend this one.
