saves time and fingers. Works great as a crusher and chopper but ( Probably my fault} I thought it was a peeler also ,but, I can't get it to peel. Other than that it works amazingly well.

speedy delivery. came intact.

It's super cute. It's heavier than I expected. You can remove the peel with Gracula, but you have to be careful, gentle pressure, one small turn or two, etc. I found it's easier to remove the peel 1st. I find the end result to be uneven and the garlic gets stuck in the grinder. You can get most of it out with a few hard taps and I scrape the rest out with a small spoon. He's not dishwasher safe, but you don't need it, he cleans up really easily. Overall, he's super easy to use and clean, I can handle the uneven results and he's a breeze to clean. He also looks cute on my counter. I'd buy him again.

What a great little kitchen tool for mincing garlic! It's so easy to use and very easy to clean. The more you twist, the finer the mince. I'm throwing my old garlic press away. It's cute enough to keep on my kitchen counter rather than tucking into a cabinet or into a drawer. I would definitely recommend. (Now I need the Dracula garlic peeler companion piece.)

EDIT FOR SELLER RESPONSE:The seller contacted me and offered a refund, which was unexpected and very nice. Five stars for customer service.Also, it turns out a toothbrush doesn't quite do the job I was hoping for, so I am on the hunt for a narrow, stiff little brush to completely clear out all the garlic pieces. It's a work in process, but I Will bend this to my will.For months, I saw the wirecutter suggesting this as a great gift, and we go through A Lot of garlic, so when this went on sale, I bought one. So, it does do a good job of reducing several cloves at a time into small pieces very quickly. The issue I have is that then all the garlic pieces absolutely refuse to let go of both the top and bottom of the Gracula. I now have a dedicated Gracula brush. It's either that or be resigned to losing half of the garlic. The good news is that both halves rinse clean very easily. Bottom line: I'm keeping it, but it requires a brush of its own. Also, it does make me laugh.

Excellent
