I love OXO products and use them almost exclusively in my kitchen. After having the older-style garlic press with the self-cleaning tool for many years, it finally broke. I replaced it with the newer model and I absolutely HATE it. I don't see the point of the swinging basket. It definitely does not make it easier to use or clean; it simply adds an area where the minced garlic can get stuck. Why did OXO remove the cleaning tool??? Now you have to use a knife to scrape out the swinging basket, which is MOVING as you try to clean it, and you have to poke out the garlic that has gotten stuck in the tiny holes. Very disappointing product from OXO. Not only would I not recommend this, I have told my family and friends NOT to buy it.
