This gadget works so well. Be careful, very sharp.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! This tool has changed my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but it really has. I've spent years, at least 10 looking for an easier way to mince garlic. I hate chopping and mincing it, it's small and awkward to do and so time consuming. The jarred minced just isn't the same and doesn't offer the right flavor. This led me to leaving out garlic in my recipes, not all the garlic, just one clove instead of three, etc. I've purchased every garlic press there is, from expensive ones, self cleaning ones, easy to use, all different shapes and sizes. None of them ever worked that well and were always a complete pain to clean, even the 'self cleaning ones'. I was shopping in Amazon for a new press, chopper, something or anything to make chopping garlic easier for me so I can and want to use a good amount of garlic easily. I came across this little amazing thing. I'm SO glad I purchased this. This chopper is small and compact, fits perfectly in my drawer. It opens easily and fits one large clove or two smaller cloves in it at a time. You just roll this bad baby back and fourth until you are satisfied with the size of the garlic, open the top and dump into your recipe. I give it a little tap on the edge of the bowl and most of the garlic falls in. Whatever is left can usually just scraped out with a small dinner spoon. Once I'm done I just open the top and rinse with a drop of dish detergent inside, close it up shake it around, then rinse thoroughly. I put it the strainer to open to dry. About once a week I open it all the way after use, remove the blades and wash the inside with a soapy sponge. I find that it doesn't really need to throughly washed with every use as long as you rinse with hot soapy water right away. I always peel my garlic before use so there isn't any skin to get caught up inside the device. Others may feel differently and do a thorough wash every time, to each their own. I wouldn't recommend putting it in the dishwasher, just because of the rubber on the wheels may be compromised and I'm positive that it would turn opaque or not as see-through after a few washes. I like to be able to cleaner see how big/small the garlic is. Pros: Extremely easy to use Easy to fill and remove chopped garlic Chops very well and quickly Very easy to clean Affordable Cons: The roller can be a bit hard to get going and jam-up a bit sometimes Chops garlic in a rustic way, won't do a tiny mince A lot of the garlic gets stuck at the top during rolling - see below on how to deal with this However, none of cons should stop anyone from buying, just wanted to note them. For the difficult roller I will just put a towel down to give it more grip to start the rolling process, usually once I'm rolling it all good. The garlic being chopped in a rustic way is something I don't mind, but maybe others will. For the garlic that sticks to the top while rolling I just gently tap the roller on my counter to knock it all down then start rolling again, problem solved. Lastly, a tip to getting the most garlic out with the first dump; I turn the unit upside down and give it a few gentle taps on a folded towel and most of the garlic will be in the top area that pops open, just open and dump. Make sure to be gently, I could see this cracking very easily. Buy this garlic chopper! You will not be disappointed. Hands-down the best purchase I've EVER made.

POSITIVES: Super simple to use, it chops quickly and thoroughly, and it's fairly easy to clean (although I recommend at least rinsing the tool immediately after use). NEGATIVES: While easy to clean, it is not easy to get the garlic, once minced, out of the chopper chamber; and, in my case, at least, while it is constructed so that the cover can be detached from the main body of the chopper, I find it somewhat difficult to reattach it. BOTTOM LINE: This is a handy gadget that does the job as well as - if not better than - other garlic choppers I've tried,, but I've learned to add an additional clove beyond what a recipe calls for, to account for the garlic that can't readily be removed from the chamber.

Love it and ordering another for back up. Grinder comes with a garlic peeler. Both work great.

You’ll never go back to chopping garlic. I use this every time I need to minced garlic. It’s so easy to use and easy to clean! My whole family has one!

This will be the third one of these I've gotten. They work great, mincing into nice little pieces. However. They are kind of a bear to clean. And I've broken 2 of them. My hands are arthritic so I've got limited strength so I'm guessing they're a little flimsy. But they seem better than the write-ups on any of the other styles.

I bought this as a gift for someone who loves to cook and loves garlic. We haven't used it yet but I think he will use it a lot. It's cute to look at and will be very time saving for him.

We cook with garlic a lot, like really a lot. We decided to keep track once and we used almost 2,500 cloves of garlic in less than a year. I stumbled across this little gem while scrolling around the internet and figured it was worth the try for as cheap as it is. We ordered it last October and it is still going strong. It does an amazing job of finely chopping garlic and you can even get it to do a coarser or finer chop depending on how many times you roll it back and forth. It makes super quick work of finely chopping raw garlic. You could buy pre-minced garlic in a jar but, if you've ever tried that, you know that it is not nearly as fragrant or pungent as fresh raw garlic and it's more expensive. This gets you quick and easy minced garlic without sacrificing flavor. Cleaning it isn't difficult, but garlic becomes a little sticky when cut up and this is no different. It takes a few minutes of rinsing under the faucet to get all the little pieces of garlic out from the blade grooves and other places the garlic makes its way into. Having said that, if you aren't as lazy as I am, cleaning this with a small brush (like a tooth brush or one of those skinny brushes you use to clean steel drink straws) would probably make it quicker and easier. If you like minced garlic and don't want to deal with the hassle of hand mincing it, this is for you.

Achei o corte muito bom

Couper l'ail. Un petit appareil bien conçu et efficace. Couper et laver: très facile et rapide. Retirer l'ail coupé: un peu plus difficile.

Come sempre lusingata da un video di una youtuber che lo decantava mi sono decisa ad acquistarlo, che dire Amazon sempre ineccepibile in consegna, ma l'oggettino lascia perplessa, anzi lo sportellino superiore già risulta allentato ( e l'ho solo aperto per guardarlo e lavarlo), l'alloggio contiene a stento uno spicchio d'aglio, poi come da istruzioni o semplice intuito si muove sui e giù come le macchinine dei bambini e si sminuzza, ma tutto ciò si può fare benissimo con qualche attrezzo meno costoso ( mi viene da pensare lo schiaccia aglio Ikea a pochi euro o il buon vecchio coltello) ..pulizia non poco ostica che vista la leggerezza dei componenti riduce la vita dell'oggetto stesso...morale: lasciate perdere visto il prezzo

Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat. Permet d'émincer des gousses d'ail très rapidement. Il faut quand même couper les grosses gousses en deux. On ne peut pas en mettre beaucoup à la fois (1 grosse gousse max), mais il suffit d'émincer, vider et mettre une nouvelle gousse. Utiliser le manche d'une petite cuillère pour vider le réservoir une fois la gousse émincée. Pas trop pénible à nettoyer, juste passer sous l'eau tout de suite pour ne pas que de l'ail sèche dedans.

It is pretty easy to use but could only do one clove at a time. Also not as easy to get the garlic out once chopped up!
