I have wanted this garlic press for several years. I used it one time and it is heavy, hard to press the handle and a pain in the something-or other to get the minced garlic out of it and also to clean it. I do not have small hands. I wear I size 8 bracelet and am large boned so I didn't think using would be a problem but wow, it was awful to squeeze. Just my opinion, I usually love all the Kuhn Rikon products and lusted after this one for 3-4 years and finally decided to get it. I will just use my old one made by Amco!
