Chef'n Garlic Zoom XL
Chef'n Garlic Zoom XL : This chopper on
wheels is fun to use in the kitchen! Garlic Zoom
features an integrated gear mechanism that rotates the 6
razor-sharp, dual-edge blades as the wheels roll. Blades
revolve between plastic ridges to quickly chop cloves
without using a knife. The more the wheels roll, the
finer the grind, to a minced texture. Extra large hopper
accommodates 4-6 cloves, depending on size. Fresh garlic
is ready for seasoning bread, sauces, soups and
marinades. Also ideal for chopping shallots or ginger.
Gear-operated shaft with stainless steel blades removes
for cleaning. Plastic construction. Top-rack dishwasher-safe.

This is a great tool for any kitchen. Garlic Zoom XL gets rid of a very messy and unpleasant task...chopping cloves of garlic. I do cut each clove into a couple of pieces so it will fit into the chopper, but all you do is roll it a few times and your chopping is done! It's easy to clean - I take it apart and put it into the dishwasher...just be careful, the blade is sharp. I bought a second one to give my daughter. They would make a nice gift for anyone who likes to cook.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, Value for Money, quality, easy to use, size, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, easy to store, durability, Functional/Useful, capacity

Would have given 5 stars however it is somewhat difficult to get ALL the minced, garlic out. That being said, I love my newest addition to kitchen gadgets. It leaves the smell of the garlic inside the Zoom and not on the cutting boards. Fits nicely in the hand and quickly minces the garlic toes. I do cut into 1/2 or less depending on the size of the toes.
Don't let the fact that I said you are not able to get all the garlic out of the Zoom deter you from purchasing the Garlic Zoom XL. Are you ever able to scrap the bowls completely clean?

I purchased the smaller version of this and was quite pleased with it, except that it did not hold enough garlic. This one looked like it would do the trick. Well, it does hold a good amount of garlic, but it is difficult to use. I've found that cutting up the cloves a bit helps. Otherwise, the mechanism jams and the blades won't turn. However, once cut into a few pieces the cloves chop pretty well. Faster than doing by hand.

Ehrose
fromTrinity, Fl
I hate chopping garlic & this works for me. I do cut larger pieces of garlic in half. After you load the garlic you roll it pressing firmly down on the counter. Roll it quickly back & forth. I use a small brush to remove almost all the garlic. It took a few times using it to develop a technique.
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, quality, easy to use, Appearance/ Design /Style, easy to store, durability, Functional/Useful
Cons: Capacity, really needs a tool like a brush to remove garlic.

It will not hold as many garlic cloves as advertised. If a clove is too big, you can't get the blades inside at all. I have yet to chop any garlic with it.

Finally something that works!
PostedNovember 18, 2010
I have purchased garlic presses/choppers/crushers and each time have put it aside and bought another. The garlic zoom has finally replaced all others. This little machine is so easy to load, roll, and clean! I can put any amount of garlic in the chamber and it always comes out in evenly cut pieces. This is the last garlic chopper i'll ever buy!

Not worth the trouble

I'm a huge garlic lover and, therefore, I try every garlic utensil that comes around. This one is definitely not worth the trouble. It doesn't CHOP the garlic, so much as mash it and it's extremely difficult to get the finished product out. I would not recommend this product. Stick to the trusty old garlic press.
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, Low noise, Weight

I just love my Garlic Zoom. Unfortunately I cannot resist shouting vroom vroom as I run it. At my age this can pass for senility, but we do need to laugh whenever we can. My garlic comes out so finely and evenly chopped. I could never do that by hand. Certainly not and have so much fun
