NexTrendGarlic Twister 4th Generation (Clear)

This product works a lot better than the metal type presser. Easy to use and clean. Attractive colors. Surprised on how well the bottom can easily smash the garlic cloves. Works well with ginger as well. Bought an extra garlic twister for my son, who likes to cook with garlic.

Just as I expected. Durable, convenient, easy to clean and really does the job right and keeps my hands garlic free!

We bought one of these for ourselves ages ago, and it's become an indispensable kitchen tool for us. We love it because it works beautifully, it's simple, and you can throw it in the dishwasher. It grinds up garlic quickly and easily, and it's infinitely easier to use and maintain than the typical garlic press. We like it so much we've bought many as gifts for friends and family who love to cook, including another two this year for holiday gifts. The designers who thought up the garlic twister deserve a genius award!

Been mincing fresh garlic 2 or3 days a week for years now, but randomly stumbled across this. Fully expected it not to work well, or snap the teeth, but... got it anyway, since I was never 100% thrilled with existing mincers. After 2 uses, I was dumbfounded at how much better this was. Minces 3x easier than my old squeeze grip mincers. Quicker to “load” Cloves too, and can use twice as many. Cloves STAYPUT and do not slide out mid-way thru. After some practice, you can adjust how “crushed” you want it as well- broken/minced/practicallypuree.After 1st week of uses, the back and forth grind motion became muscle memory; i spend more energy breaking open bulbs than mincing now, not the other way around.Warning tho- the outer “handles” used to grip it are **completely smooth**; there is no sandy coarseness or ridging carved in, to keep a good grip. Would be 5star if it did. I can grip/grind without much issue, but for anyone that struggles with hand/wrist issues, I wouldn’t exactly recommend it without one of those flat rubber jar assist openers or similar.Clearing the garlic out is fairly ok, I use either a spoon or a small silicone bowl scrapper.Cleaning doesn’t take much effort either- I’m a daily garlic mincer now (since.. its easy now) so I use a bristle brush under some warm tap water+detergent thru the week. Takes a whole minute to wash/dry and back on the counter for tomorrow’s use. Doesn’t retain any garlic smell either. I add it to the Dishwasher topshelf 1x week; no warping at all. Been thru ?a dozen+? cycles by now, seems legit.I’m a Garlic fan, I add it to dishes frequently, so... this goes on my Kitchen #MustHave List. Ginger mincing works “good” (but not great) for me as well, but not my primary use.Was about to buy a 2nd Garlictwister (for cycling usage, or eventually... travel :), but think I’ll wait for a Gen5; see if they add some grip along the “corners” or something. Or maybe... A CAP to store the other half of the bulb... found a bamboo lid rounded with a rubber ring that inserts perfectly (like a shallow cork) from a set of 200ml Borosilicate jars i have (EZOware? EVOware? Something like that)Would Buy Again. In a heartbeat. WILL buy another in the future.

Was always very frustrated by inefficient ways of crushing garlic. smacking it with knife caused accidents, those garlic pressers did not work well, grating the garlic made it too watery. Smacking it with this new tool was much more effective and safer and made crushing the garlic during twist very easy. Very innovative device, super happy I found it, material looks sturdy too.

I love this thing and will never go back to those messy, difficult presses. I can mince several cloves at once with zero wasted garlic and no difficult skin to pick out. Easy to clean. Visually appealing. It's even handy that it can be used to loosen the skin by smashing the garlic with it a little. I bring it to my parents' when I make dinner there because I don't want to be stuck with her garlic press. My hard-to-impress mother has commented about how nice it is several times, so I got one for them too. A bit pricey, but it should last forever and get a ton of use.

Difficult to clear garlic once ground

Works as described. I love it! Also dishwasher safe.
