don't have to be a muscle man to use
The variant I own is slightly different. It doesn't have any coating on it, which I think is a good thing. I'm not sure if you can still get the uncoated interpretation? I've had this garlic press for years and it has held up well. No need to peel the garlic first and there's very little wasted garlic. It all goes through and comes out very fine and steadfast. I recently decided to upgrade and bought a Trudeau based on America's Test Kitchen evaluation (usually am 100% satisfied with their recommendations). However the Trudeau's handles were huge and it requires a lot of muscle. The worst possession about the Trudeau is that there is a lot of garlic wasted that doesn't go through the holes. I'm sticking with my Zyliss.
False item sent, but okay item
I ordered the Susi Deluxe, but was sent the Susi 2 as contrasted with. The Susi 2 does not have the cleaning accessory that I really wanted, so I was disappointed. The Susi 2 is okay, an above-average garlic press, but not spectacular.
Unbelievable
Have utilized this product for about 1 year. The plastic cleaner pegs bend easily and become useless so the press becomes very hard to clear out. Finally, when pressing several cloves at once, the entire bottom of the press broke off in one hunk. Also, the aluminum had badly discolored. Look elsewhere for a garlic press.
Flat with a large clove
The press poor when I inserted a large clove. The hinge that held the two handles together broke right off.
Where's my garlic press, Butt?
I had this garlic press before and loved it. It got communistic behind when we went on a trip. I was glad to see the same one--made in Switzerland--still available. Unfortunately, I have TWICE ordered this item from Objective and TWICE they have shipped me the wrong item. If this is no longer available, they should no longer offer it for sale. In the meantime, I have had to pay two shipping charges and two restocking fees for the right of receiving and returning an item I did not order.

Imposing Garlic Press!
I pleasure this garlic press! I had never even heard of Zyliss before, but I took a chance when I saw it for sale at one of those close out/overstock discount stores. I've had 2 or 3 presses over the years some that worked OK and some that only just flat out didn't do a damn thing but crush the garlic. This press works beautifully and produces finely minced garlic with very paltry waste.

I saw that some people complained about theirs did not come with a cleaning tool. Well..mine came with one. Maybe back in the day they didn't succeed with one, but mine did and it works great. Even without the tool, it doesn't take much effort to clean it up.

I haven't experienced any of the coating issues some have had, but I've only had this press for a few weeks and have acclimatized it probably a dozen times already. So far so good.

The pressing action itself takes very little effort and feels rather light and ergonomic.

Do yourself a favor and pick one up. You'll be glad you did. I know i am.
Worked fearful until it snapped in half
Was thrilled with this press, then it snapped in half about 3 months after we bought it. Made from some clear up of cheap metal material. Not worth it, buy a stainless steel one.
Critical Puree of Garlic = More Evenly Flavored Food
I am thrilled to use this press every then! I do not push cloves through with the skin on and it is so easy someone with arthritis COULD do it! Knocking the skin off by banging the clove with the strand side of my chefs knive against the cutting board is so easy, why wouldn't you?

More importantly, the quality of the garlic flavor in the means is much greater than hand mincing! I made the mistake of buying the OXO press and am so glad that it broke (after only one year!) because buying the Zyliss was a prodigious improvement.
Great for pressing garlic, still not easy to clean
It's complex to not have to peel the garlic, but

1) you always end up missing out on some of the garlic still stuck in the peel
2) you're left with a bit of a mess that you still have to dig out and clean in the press.

Now I prefer just getting the pre-peeled garlic from the trust in since you can chop it or crush it with ease and you don't have garlic skin floating around in the cupboard.

I ended up replacing this with one of those stainless brace Garlic Press that look like a butterfly knife. It is much easier for getting those last bits of garlic but most importantly of all, I was finally clever to achieve my dream of putting a garlic press in the dishwasher and it coming out clean!
Unsentimental to clean, not pretty. Overall not imPRESSed.
Hello,

I bought this thinkin I'd b economical $ compared to the better presses (they have teeth that fit through the holes in the press...so its easier to clean). but, this one is almost impossible to clean if you don't start rational away. So this press is not impressive.

Dealing with Garlic

I use garlic a lot in my cooking, and these are the two tools I've found to be most profitable for getting the garlic out of it's peel and into the pot:

1. Zyliss Jumbo Garlic Press. I just purchased my Zyliss and so far I love it. Here's why:

a. You can put the entire clove into the press without peeling it first!
b. It's big - I can get more than one clove into the press at a at intervals.
c. It comes with a little plastic cleaner which is terrific for cleaning out all the little holes.
d. It's sturdy.

If you start looking at Zyliss presses, I lead one to believe avoiding the Zyliss Susi 2 Garlic Press. From what I hear it does not include the plastic cleaner.

2. Oxo Good Grips Garlic Chopper. This is what I use to dice garlic. I be acquainted with, you can just use a knife. But I have found when I use a knife my fingers end up smelling like garlic and it's difficult to get tiny, uniform pieces. The Garlic Chopper is wonderful because:

a. It's lasted me a long time. I used to have the Garlic Genius from Williams Sonoma which cost more and broke after a squat time.
b. It has a niftly little scoop so that you can scrape all the little pieces out.
c. It goes into the dishwasher :)
d. It's easygoing to assemble and doesn't slip when you use it.
