Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zyliss 12040 Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner
Customer Review: ATTENTION WOMEN!
Summary: 1 Stars
If you have normal sized hands and normal hand strength, you are going to be very disappointed with this product. It takes a lot of hand strength to squeeze even a medium size clove through this sucker. I tried clipping off the end of the clove. Didn't help. Very disappointed. I loved my 20 year old Zyliss garlic press until it gave up the ghost. I think this one is simply too large. Might be great for men with meathook hands, but not for us regular-sized folk.Customer Review: Best Garlic Press Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this garlic press for over two years now and consider it to be the best press I have ever used! The well for the garlic is very large, accommodating more than one garlic clove at a time. When only pressing one or two cloves, you don't really have to peal the cloves, the pressing action does it for you! A little more hand pressure is required when pressing more than two cloves at a time. Cleanup is a breeze with hot soapy water.Customer Review: Convenient and Easy
Summary: 4 Stars
Recommended by CooksIllustrated, this garlic press is convenience at a reasonable price. The garlic comes out consistently and without too much effort. The cleaner is very handy. Make sure you use it because the coating does tend to scratch. That being said, handwashing is recommended for longevity. I was so impressed, I bought one as a gift for my sister and another for my mom despite a better, new recommendation from CooksIllustrated.Customer Review: Much better than susi 2 and not to large
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought both this one and the Zyliss Susi 2. I like the jumbo much better. It is not that much larger than the susi 2, but it has a flat anvil rather than a spiked one as the Susi 2 does. The Susi does get more garlic out of a clove, but the spikes force the garlic skin into the holes which makes cleaning a real pain. The susi 2 also lacks the rubber cleaner which makes dilodging the skin so easy with the Zyliss Jumbo.Customer Review: A REAL garlic press...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been suffering for too long with an overpriced, underachieving Cutco garlic press that was a sympathy purchase from my son's friend who was trying to make a living. It's such a pleasure to now have a press that actually performs the job well.. and so effortlessly. I've only used it once (for several cloves), so can't speak to its longevity. But I'm definitely pleased with its premiere performance.
