Nice, heavy utensil. Really good lever design and ergonomics for easy squeezing. Good size chamber for 2-3 cloves. The red thing for clearing the garlic remnants is very effective. Highly recommended.

I broke my last garlic press (a cheaper version). The Trudeau is much stronger and well made. Has heavy chrome plating and nice rubber handles. Highly recommend this one !

This garlic press is a quality kitchen tool. It is very well constructed, obviously made of high quality materials. It has a nice weight to it, not one of those flimsy contraptions made of plastic or light weight metals. This garlic press is truly a piece of kitchen art and it is well worth its price.

I love garlic and have tried many but this is the best on the market. Crushes one side, flip it and pops out everthing stuck in the holes. Easy to hold and clean.

C'est le troisième que je commande, tous différent (couleur, solidité, finition...) je doute que ce soit tous des originaux...

I recently purchased this item with a to perhaps speed up and ease the very frequent chore of prepping fesh garlic for cooking. I have used many garlic presses in the past and never felt that any of them lived up to their promise and always abandoned them for the sticky mess of the process using a kitchen knife and chopping board. Years pass and new friends arrive and LOTS of garlic is back on the menu. Amazingly, over the years, I didn't get any younger or more patient so I went searching for the possible modern device that is actually worthwhile. After reading all the reviews here on Amazon, I concluded that this was the product with the cost/function ratio that I was looking for so I ordered it along with a new type of silicone garlic peeler that resembles a plastic manicotti. Much to my delight, I found that both devices met or exceeded my hopes. I was preparing pasta with sauteed garlic and needed to prepare an entire bulb for the dish. In less than 5 min, I had the cloves all peeled and ready for the press with very little effort and mess. You break the cloves of the bulb, insert 3-4 into the "manicotti" and roll on the counter. Then you pour the contents into a bowl (keeps the paper from covering the counter) and easily seperate the garlic. The press works like all others-- put 2-3 large cloves into the device and squeeze the handles. With a full load of cloves, the handles can require a somewhat forceful squeeze but it is not impossible and reducing the number of bulbs being pressed at a time can make this easier. This is the only reason that I gave only 4 stars-- there will be some who are annoyed at the force it takes. It will also crush unpeeled cloves with some more pressure and a small waste of garlic which clings to the peels. When using it this way, the handles flip around and an attached cleaner presses the residue back out of the seive. The Oxo Peeler works so quickly and with such little mess that I prefer to peel the cloves first. Both tools clean up quickly with a hand wash.

We bought the Trudeau press because Cook's Illustrated rated it very highly. Functionally, it lives up to their raves. Decent capacity, sturdy and well built, great mash consistency, easy to use and easy to clean. Very good value.The only annoyance is that it's very hard to drain or dry completely after washing: water stays between the rubber/plastic parts and the metal. I will probably eventually remove the comfortable rubber handle grips permanently, and dip the handles into that tool-handle liquid vinyl stuff instead.Update, April 2012:In order to get around the problem with water trapped in the handles after washing, we got into the habit of sliding the rubber grips off before washing and replacing them before use. Mildly inconvenient.However, I'm glad to see other purchasers saying "I would buy it again" - because you'll probably have to.Our press exploded the middle of Friday night dinner preparation. We use it weekly. Apparently the metal fatigued on both sides; the hinge blew off with a loud report. Fortunately my husband was able to fish the metal chunk out of the pasta sauce. Lack of durability drops this press to 3 stars from an initial 4.

I purchased the Trudeau garlic press from amazon after seeing that Cook's Illustrated magazine rated it a Best Buy. It arrived tonight from amazon and, to my suprise, it was defective. The plastic piece that cleans the press was moving from side to side and pulling away from the metal to which it was attached. I packed it up, requested a refund from amazon, and promptly ordered the Kuhn Rikon, which was the most highly rated garlic press by Cook's Illustrated. I had chosen the Trudeau because it was less expensive, but it isn't worth the savings if it breaks on the first use. I love to cook with garlic but find cleaning a garlic press (I lost the separate blue cleaner piece on my Zyliss) a hassle -- so perhaps the Kuhn's $30+ price tag is worth it -- at least I hope so! I re-read the reviews on the Trudeau and found that another person noted the same problem. Buyer beware!2/2/08 Update: I received my Kuhn Rikon Garlic Press in two days of ordering from the lowest-priced provider on amazon (even though I didn't pay for expedited shipping) and have used it several times since. I am VERY pleased with it. I expect this will last me a lifetime -- it's sturdy, is easy to use, and has a clever design that makes it a cinch to clean (with no parts to break or lose).
