Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zyliss Susi 2 Garlic Press
Customer Review: I will never peel garlic again
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had other garlic presses that I bought at stores, and all of them required peeling the garlic before pressing, and all of them let goopy bits of garlic slide up past the press and were quite messy.
I found this at a store and when I read on the packaging that no peeling was necessary, I decided to give it a try. It works perfectly! No peeling at all! I just plop the garlic clove or cloves into it and press down, and garlic juice and pressed garlic squish out of the tiny little holes.
I don't know why people were complaining about clean up. Compared to peeling the garlic cloves and then disposing of those little papery skins that get stuck to your fingers and everything wet, this is easy to clean. Mine came with a cleaner, but I didn't even know what it was, so I just used a round toothpick and it was easy to clean.
And it was cheap at the store.
It saves me a lot of time and effort, and I am happy with it.
Customer Review: Fine for pressing garlic, still not easy to clean
Summary: 3 Stars
It's nice 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 store 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 steel 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 able to achieve my dream of putting a garlic press in the dishwasher and it coming out clean!
Customer Review: Perfect Press for me
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that this was a "whimm" purchase. I have a garlic press that is perfectly functional, but when I saw this one, I had to upgrade. What I love about this press is that it is strong and all in one piece. I don't have to worry about losing parts and that is a must in my home.
The other selling point for me was the size of the garlic holder. It is big enough to put in key limes, if you have to squeeze a bunch, this is a good way to go. I haven't tried it yet, only saw someone do that on TV.
And this doesn't show any signs of breaking, it's very well designed, I don't forsee me breaking off the handle as I have done with other garlic presses in the past.
This is one gadget that gets a lot of use in my kitchen and I am very pleased with it's quality.
Customer Review: Thrilled and diappointed.

I have had this on my wishlist for sometime and finally bought one. Let me tell you what I like about it and what I am disappointed with. This little baby does a fabulous job with the garlic. I just pop in one to three unpeeled garlic cloves (depending on their size)and squeeze. Instantly I have my garlic pressed, minus the peel. The peel is easily removed from the "bowl" of the press. However, here is the down and disappointing side. This model of Zyliss press does NOT have a cleaning tool with it. If I had realized that, I would not have purchased it. Do you realize how long it takes to pick the garlic out of all the little holes!!!! Please, Zyliss people, make a cleaning tool for this model!!! Tell me where to get it. Otherwise, this is going to end up in the giveaway bin at my house.Customer Review: Susi 2 - The ONLY garlic press
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying a large number of presses, I couldn't understand why anyone used one. We just grated the garlic into the pot. We tried a Susi 2 when house-sitting in New Zealand and were amazed. We've had one for years. We use garlic in everything and a lot of it. I have sheared off the original hinge pin and replaced it (twice) with a stainless steel machine screw. I probably should have purchased the large model. It did clean easier when new, but the dishwasher wore off the finish. Now we just soak it in water for a while and then use the dish brush on the the outside and the husk just pops out. When I get a new one, I'll avoid putting it in the dishwasher. This is the only garlic press worth buying.
