O produto é de excelente qualidade.

First, I have not received nor do I have any financial interest in this product.I have a garlic press purchased a few months ago and it works fine....if you want tiny pieces of garlic. Seeing the tv cooking shows always shows someone with garlic that has been thinly sliced. THIS is what I wanted so I began the search and found this OXO garlic slicer. Wow! Does the job I've been looking for. The unit is made of a high grade durable plastic that appears will hold up well with use. To use the unit, you place a clove of garlic (peeled) in the top container, place the carrier top back in, and then move the whole unit back and forth across a blade. Slices of garlic come up quite good. And the clove carrier protects your fingers from the blade. THIS is a definite plus. As you get to the end of the clove, you may or may not have a small chunk of garlic left but that is not a problem. In addition, you do use just use the weight of your hand to begin slicing. Neat, quick and to the point. To clean, just uses the sink sprayer but caution.... Do not use your fingers to clean out any garlic pieces stuck to the blade. The blade will samurai your finger tips. And I let my unit air dry. Now for the negatives. First, the garlic "carrier" is free sliding. That is, it will slide over the blade whether you are slicing garlic or not. This then leads to an EXPOSED BLADE which is sharp. Now, since the clove carrier moves freely on the "track", obviously the blade will be exposed each time you pick up the slicer or ??? Plus, the blade is also riveted in so it cannot be replaced. But again, how often would you replace such a blade? I would like to see this same unit with an ADJUSTABLE thickness AND...and a way to literally place the clove carrier over the blade and lock it in. However, since I am an adult and I do cut myself "professionally" every so often, this problem has been solved by my putting the unit in a freezer bag after the unit has been cleaned and dried. The bag keeps the unit clean, protects the blade to an extent, and I don't say bad words because I don't cut myself. Overall, yes, I give this unit a 5 star as I am very pleased with the results I get. The CONS I've indicated may or may not be considered personal preference. IF as a amateur chef, you want lotsa garlic sliced thin, this has got to be one of the better garlic slicers around. I do recommend the OXO unit as a BUY.

This is a replacement for a garlic slicer I have had for years. The angle of the slicer makes it very easy to use. It seems sturdy and slices very thin.
