Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo SteeL Garlic Press, Stainless
Customer Review: soapy water with your garlic
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this garlic press was awesome for about two weeks. One day as I was pressing garlic into a bowl of ingredients, soapy water began leaking out. The hollow handles, although comfortable, allow for water to collect. To use this press I've had to strip the exterior handles off. While the press still works, it is no longer comfortable to use.Customer Review: built to last

This makes the ole garlic squish a breeze. The heft and design make it quite easy to get a lot of garlic squished very rapidly. A must for cooking that asks for quantities of garlic (Asian, Mediterranean, etc). I am only able to use one hand due to a nerve injury, even with that limitation I can use this press without a problem.
A few imperfections do not make it a bad product but just as a heads up:
There is a spot deep in the well that some garlic bits will get stuck in. Usually it is the most fibrous bits you do not want anyway. That said, when crushing lots - after 3 to 5 presses you'll have to clean that well out before progressing. Toothpick or knife tip works fine to remove the mush once you reverse the press like designed to get the remains loose.
The basket is a bit tight, but not small. So elephant or very large cloves will still have to be hand or cleaver squished, the normal stuff fits fine.
So no biggie in the way of cons, the pros quite outweigh them.
Customer Review: Garlic Lovers look no further!!

I thought that I had a great press with the old #28181,
now I know what an awesome press is! The new #58181 has
all the function of the old with none of the faults.
Easy to use, clean, and it looks beautiful. It is solid
and compact, able to press 2 lrg to med cloves with
minimal effort and maximum results! If you are an avid
garlic lover this is the press for you.
Enjoy!!!
Customer Review: Hefty, hefty, hefty
Summary: 4 Stars
Definitely not for those with wrist issues, this garlic press has definitely got some heft to it.
With a smooth lever action, it crushes garlic swiftly and cleanly, all that remains behind is the garlic's 'shell'.
My only complaint is that there is one spot in the deepest part of the press that the garlic shell does get stuck, even with the handy built-in cleaning tool. A quick flick with a finger or a knife solves this issue.
Dishwasher-safe stainless steel and plastic construction is a big plus, less weighty aluminum models will discolor in the dishwasher.
A must for any garlic enthusiast!
Customer Review: A garlic press with no mess
Summary: 5 Stars
This press is sturdy, well made, and well finished. Another reviewer has suggested slicing the extruded garlic from the press with a paring knife, and I find this to be excellent when I need ground Garlic. The cleaning feature, applied under a flowing water tap, leaves the tool ready to air dry and put away. This gadget is good enough for the Snap On tool label.
