Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zyliss Susi 2 Garlic Press
Customer Review: You Can't go wrong with a Zyliss
Summary: 5 Stars
We had the original "susi" and used it for years. It just simply worked. It was easy to clean, wasted no garlic, it was perfect. When my daughter got married my wife graciously gave our susi to her. I bought another brand for us that seemed very well built, but it didn't do a very good job. I tossed it in the trash one day in frustration ... and ordered the "susi 2". It's a bit bigger and can crush garlic without peeling it. It works flawlessly... don't ask me how Zyliss does it, they just do. I read a few reviews that stated it did not come with a tool to clean the press ... it certainly does ... it's neatly tucked away in the handle .... good job Zyliss.Customer Review: Cleaning is easy.
Summary: 5 Stars
Folks,
It's easy to clean any garlic press by using the plastic dish brush or nail brush that many a kitchen sink has nearby.
Just hit the outside surface of the holes with the bristles of the brush to poke any garlic out.
Rinse your garlic press after using, so that the garlic doesn't have a chance to dry before cleaning. If dry, just soak it.
Soap is not needed, just rinse. Cleaning gizmos are not needed if you have a brush, and toothpicks are silly once you try using a brush.
The Oxo press is useless and so are most presses other than Zyliss. Why are they the only ones who understand how to engineer pressing garlic?
Customer Review: Indispensable
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you've owned a susi garlic press, you won't be able to live without it. I don't know what it is with Zyliss, but their design makes this garlic press superior to any other brand's (no, I don't work for Zyliss). It makes the job a cinch and is very effective: no waste whatsoever. There's no need to peel the garlic before sticking it in the press, and cleaning is simply a matter of removing the peel and washing it. I also own a Zyliss susi with the plastic cleaner, and truthfully I don't see a lot of difference.
I've given this as a gift to a lot of people, and everyone loves it. For the price, you can't get a better garlic press.
Customer Review: I use this Garlic press daily
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought (2) Zyliss Garlic press because of the daily use I put them through. It functions very well, creating a puree instead of large chunks like other presses. In comparison with other brands it cleans easily.
Unfortunately after less than 2 years of daily use both presses have lost their coating (this concerns me)and the plunger falls out because of the wear on the aluminum brackets that hold the plunger. I'm in the process of sending them back to Zyliss, I'm going to try the jumbo press and see if it will hold up any better.
Customer Review: Fine Puree of Garlic = More Evenly Flavored Food
Summary: 5 Stars
I am thrilled to use this press every time! 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 flat 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 recipe 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 vast improvement.
