WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED
Its price is supported by a cast body, large chamber and a genuinely useful auto-swing stainless grid. It is not as indestructible as solid stainless competitors, but it delivers strong ergonomics and cleanability for roughly half their cost.
MATERIALS
Body and handlesCast aluminum with nonstick finish
Keeps the press lighter than all-steel designs while remaining rigid enough for domestic loads.
Swing gridStainless steel
Resists corrosion and swings out to expose residue rather than trapping it behind a fixed screen.
CRITERIA
9/10
Cleanability
Stainless grid automatically swings out; Food & Wine also notes the integrated cleaning design.
8/10
Pressing Effort
Long rounded handles and lighter body are comfortable; fine output can require more force than large-hole screens.
8/10
Durability
Cast aluminum body and stainless grid are credible, though less failure-resistant than solid 304/18-10 stainless.
9/10
Mince Quality
Produces fine, punchy pressed garlic; finer perforations trade slightly greater effort for intensity.
9/10
Capacity & Handling
Large chamber accepts unpeeled garlic and multiple cloves.
9/10
Safety & Simplicity
One-piece attached swing grid; no eject button, loose insert, or multi-part disassembly.
IDEAL FOR
- ·Daily home use
- ·Lighter-weight preference
- ·Unpeeled cloves
- ·Easy cleaning
NOT FOR
- ·Commercial abuse
- ·All-stainless purists
DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
Lighter and less fatiguing than heavy steel presses, with smooth, rounded handles and a familiar Susi silhouette. The swing-grid action eliminates a fiddly separate cleaner.
LONGEVITY
Good: simple mechanism and stainless grid, with a five-year guarantee reported for the line. The coated cast body is less heirloom-like than solid stainless.
