For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

What kind do you have?

I have an ancient one, probably my great grandmothers, and the garlic just gets smashed into the square-but-actually-round holes and it’s impossible to get most of it out.

Mostly it makes smashed garlic, which I can do with a knife much more easily..

I got an Oxo Good Grips one for my Christmas this year and I think it's the last press I'll ever need

Pampered Chef also makes a very nice one. Usually pampered chef is terribly overpriced but they do have a few high quality gems in the catalog.

Yeah I saw those but they were stupidly overpriced like every they do . The Oxo ones were about €30, amazing price for a BIFL item

It will last about 5 years. I have one. The rubber handles fall off and the chrome plating peels.

It does say not to put them in a dishwasher or that'll happen

I have this one as well. I like how it's one piece, unlike some cheaper ones

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It's not one piece. It looks like one piece but the rubber handles eventually separate. The past couple of years I have used it without the rubber handle covers.
