 Not for meAug 24, 2010
I just haven't found this to be terribly efficient. I'm quicker at peeling garlic than at using this and then needing to clean it up. It hasn't been worth the effort of getting it out, so it's just taking up extra space in my kitchen.
Works wellAug 18, 2010
I recommend this product. Press down on the garlic clove, roll it back and forth a few times, and the clove almost always emerges fully peeled. Way easier than peeling by hand and we use a lot of garlic. Great time saver!
 It's just okayAug 15, 2010
I read the reviews and thought this would be wonderful. And maybe you'll like it, but I wanted to note the downsides because I'm really not impressed:
1) It's hard to get it rolling since garlic cloves aren't totally round. It gets easier after there's some sticky garlic residue inside the tube, but it can be frustrating and except for the miraculous clove that zips out the side peeled every now and then, it's not consistently easy.
2) If you have arthritis or weak hands this is not for you. My hands got really sore having to roll this back and forth while pushing down.
3) It makes a mess. Most of the peels from your cloves don't stay inside the tube. Instead a lot of them come out onto your countertop.
I am going back to the drawing board to find something a bit more user friendly even if it does cost more.

 This Oxo Good Grips Garlic Peeler works wellMay 26, 2010
I am a gadget junkie and I find this Oxo Good Grips Garlic Peeler to be one of the few gadgets I have tried lately that delivers success from what started as a cool idea. I use LOTS of garlic and though I do like dried garlic powder in some applications, there is no substitute for fresh. Sometimes, it was just too much for my lazy soul to deal with the sticky mess of cleaning and dicing garlic cloves and on those days I had to settle for dried. BUT, there are lots of new gadgets to squander my money on and I hit on this one.
The other night was the innagural run of the peeler and I was making pasta with garlic sauteed in olive oil. You break the cloves from the bulb, insert 4-5 into the silicone manicotti shaped tool and roll on the counter top with your palms for several seconds. Dump the contents into a bowl to seperate the whole peeled cloves and avoid having the paper fly all over the kitchen. In less than 5 minutes, I had 1 WHOLE BULB of garlic cleaned and ready to run through the new garlic hand press that I ordered in conjunction with the peeler. The new press is the heavy duty variety that is capable of crushing the cloves unpeeled but with this handy device, peeling them first actually saved time and the mess of cleaning the residual paper peels from the press and that was probably 1/4 the time it would have taken to process the garlic using the old smash with a knife blade then chop method. Clean up was relatively easy by using my fingers and a small amount of dish soap to rub the peels of the inside in a jiffy. I am very happy with how this product functions.
I also recommend this garlic press Trudeau Garlic Press as an excellent mix of price/function.
************Update 6/4/10*********************************
Last trip to the grocery I found some beautiful garlic with huge cloves (not quite elephant garlic size) and bought 6 bulbs. When I tried to peel these very large flattened cloves (1 clove was a snug fit in the tool), the peeler did not work as well as when peeling "normal" sized cloves. I experimented with it a bit using 1 and 2 cloves and found that it worked much better after cutting the cloves in half lengthwise BEFORE peeling. This also allows the above mentioned press to work better. No kidding, a single clove was a forced fit into the press before cutting and overflowed the press cavity even AFTER cutting the cloves. Im my opinion, this is not a serious negative since this is the first time I have found garlic this size available. I mention it for info purposes only.
Works More or LessMar 30, 2010
It does work if you cut off the root end of each garlic glove. Have used others that work much better but bought Oxo because we have always had good results. With this item, not so much. I fault the material from which this is manufactured; too clingy. We will next try one of the red tubes; totally different material.
