Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Susi 2 Garlic Press
Customer Review: THIS IS FAR BETTER THAN THE EXPENSIVE KUHN RIKON!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a Kuhn Rikon garlic press for $28 on here and it was awful. It was heavy, bulky, and hurt my hand. This a dream machine in comparison! This is light weight and fits in the hand well. I recommend this press to everyone!
Yes, the garlic is a bit hard to clean out, but if you wait until it dries, it is easier. HOWEVER, if you buy a Zyliss Garlic press, ALWAYS try to get one with a cleaner.
I had high hopes for the Kuhn Rikon, but fortunately, I bought a $16 Zyliss Susi 2 Garlic Press a few days prior to purchasing it at a local kitchen store, so I know the difference between a good garlic press and an overpriced malfunctioning contraption. I was going to return the the Zyliss to a local kitchen store where I bought it, because it didn't have a shiny finish and I thought it was a little hard to clean every tiny piece of garlic out of (later I discovered the cleaner it comes with makes it easy to clean). BUT, I am now keeping the Zyliss and it is a dream compared to the Kuhn Rikon hunk of junk. If you really want a good garlic press, buy the Zyliss, it's far smaller, very light, and I can't possibly see anyone liking the Kuhn Rikon after trying the Zyliss. You've been warned!
The Zyliss Susi 2 Garlic Press is not shown on Amazon with a cleaner. So, if you can find one at a local kitchen shop with the cleaner, I would get one. Otherwise, you can try the Zyliss Susi DeLuxe Garlic Press which comes with a cleaner or the Zyliss 12040 Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner on here. I haven't used them, but assume they're good. But, I can't recommend any garlic press without a cleaner, just too hard to clean without one. A toothbrush might be an alternative, you could try if you needed to, or waiting until the garlic dries. You have to be able to stick something into the press holes or it just doesn't clean well. With the cleaner, it cleans a a few seconds.
I also love the finish on this Zyliss. It is not shiny, so you get no fingerprints. All you have to do is rinse the garlic off, I never have to actually clean it with a sponge or anything, it just doesn't need it. Once you use a garlic press with this sort on finish, you will never want one of the shiny ones again! I'm using way more garlic than I've ever used in my life because of my Zyliss. I'm even using it to press fresh ginger so I can make ginger tea and drinks!
