I have one and use it from time to time. I have never noticed any difference in pressed vs minced garlic. I put so much garlic in everything it would be hard to notice anyway.

My wife bought a nice one from Oxo, its been sitting in the drawer for years. I just whack the cloves with the side of my chef's knife, then mince, maybe 30 secs. Why dirty something else.

Well, you just dirtied a knife and a cutting board, counter or plate.

This is what we have. I like it too, but only use it about 20% of the time. Usually I either mince or crush with the side of my chef's knife, gather up the mash and them mash it again, then chop it. I guess that gives me a puree.
To each their own, kind of like toilet paper.
Of course, I am a heathen, in that I also use garlic in the jar, Lawry's Garlic Salt and have been known to buy those little metal tubes of garlic paste.
I guess I would wipe with anything.

What I have. Does a very good job. Cleanup is a 10 second process.
I use it often, but less than 1/3rd of the time I use garlic in a dish.

I genuinely don't understand the complaints about cleaning, unless people are letting it sit overnight first. When I press garlic, I immediately (or near as possible) pass it under the faucet in the sink, give it a quick hand wipe, and set it on a drying pad. As mentioned, no way it takes me longer than ten seconds.
Now, I don't always use a press, but if I'm using a good amount of garlic and I'm simply looking to get the flavor to permeate the dish, it's a good (single use) tool.

Jacque has the most impressive knife skills I have ever seen. Wish I had half his talent
As for as the topic, I don't use a garlic press. A pita to clean

I received one for Christmas a few years ago. It stayed in the box until I re-gifted it back to the family member, obviously not a chef, that gave it to me this past Christmas. I haven't thought of it since then.

He has a great book called La Technique that anyone wanted to improve their knife skills should read. It has a lot of great tips.
His memoir The Apprentice is a very good read as well. He should have good knife skills-he started apprenticing at 14.

Sorry, had to rehash this. Not only could Bourdain out-frick you and out-fight you, he could out-cook you into the next century, tough guy.
