Over the 50+ years of my life (so far) I've owned all manner of garlic crushing contraptions. Yes, I know how to finely chop the stuff using a knife, but some recipes really do benefit from having crushing the stuff.Until recently, I've been using another Joseph Joseph garlic crusher:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joseph-Garlic-Crusher-Dishwasher-Stainless-dp-B01ATV4O2O/dp/B01ATV4O2O/ref=dp_ob_title_kitchenLooks nice and shiny in the photos but, after prolonged use, specifically, cleaning the clogged holes, that shiny surface has peeled off the grille. Also, the fact it gets so badly coughed means the user either:A) wastes lots of their garlic by washing it down the sink during cleaningB) needs to spend ages pushing chunks the garlic through the clogged holes to salvage itThe model on this page uses both the front wiper mechanism and, brilliantly, has a small brush-like device stored in the handle. The stiff brush spikes align perfectly with the (clogged) holes on this device, one quick press, all those clogged pieces are pushed free. Turn that little brush-thingy around and the other (slightly curved) end can be used to scoop those little pieces out, extracting close to 100% of each piece of garlic you press. Magic.The handles seem sturdy without being overly bulky (at least, it fits my hand well), plenty of leverage to crush the garlic without feeling any strain. Aside from the messy the garlic is pressed through, the rest of this device is plastic. I believe it's dishwasher safe, but because cleaning any clogged pieces is so easy, I've found a quick rinse is so this needs.I cook almost every day, so I'm this is seeing as much use as it would get in any domestic setting. With all that in mind, I can't recommend this item highly enough, it's worth the little extra above the basic all-metal models.

I have arthritis in my hands and have had trouble using garlic presses, well no more.I'm in love. It is so easy to use and clean. I'm buying a spare.

Although I like to use garlic in my cooking I can't stand actually preparing garlic and dealing with the lingering smell on my fingers. This led me to look at alternative garlic presses which allowed me to minimise the amount of physical contact I had to have with the garlic.With this press I can use it without having to peel the garlic first, which saves a whole load of time, however you probably lose a tiny bit of garlic by not peeling it first. To be honest, it's that small an amount that i'm willing to live with that.After crushing the garlic the little lever does a great job of scraping the crushed garlic. To remove any waste from inside after you have finished using the press you can use the little spatula tool that is built into it to scrape out any waste straight into the bin. You can also use the same tool to quickly clear the metal press plate of any bit's of garlic, although whenever i've used the press i've not had to do that since a quick rinse under the tap cleans the whole press very quickly.There was another press that I almost purchased that actually ejected the waste for you but that was almost twice the price. Overall I am very happy with this press and I do like the style and build quality of the Joseph Joseph range.Highly recommended.

Great garlic crusher, very easy to use and clean, powerful handles make crushing effortless, large capacity so you can crush two at a time, really good quality, a bit more expensive than others but the quality shines through.
