(2 stars) - Cute But Impractical
Buy this product if you want a cute gadget to chat about with your guests. I give it 2 stars because it is impractical. I can maybe fit in it 2 small cloves of garlic, which must be cut in half (thus getting my fingers smelly), before I begin the struggle of rolling the wheels which get stuck as the blades try to slice into the garlic pieces but not before they leave black marks on the counter top like another reviewer mentioned. I try to roll it as gently as possible, but I fear another few times and the rubber strip will fall off the wheels. Some rubber has already detached itself from the product. But it works. Eventually. Then, I have to stick my finger inside to dig out the garlic (again, smelly fingers problem). What I do like about it is it chops the garlic and the pieces don't turn to mush unless you roll it many more times.

(2 stars) - Cute but not efficient
It does mince pretty well BUT it is difficult to achieve good traction for the wheels to cut through the garlic at first. Once the garlic is cut up a bit it does roll easier. Be prepared to wipe up black rubber streaks from the wheels if you have light colored counter tops. My biggest issue is that you lose about 25% of the minced garlic because it's too difficult to get out of the device. The garlic sticks to all inside surfaces, and in the bottom there are "ridges" that the blades to pass through where you have most of you loss. Keep looking for something better! =)

(1 stars) - I wanted it to work...
I wanted this to work, I really did. It's so cute! How could you not love it?

Well, it doesn't actually cut garlic. At all. It can get a blade about a third of the way through, then it just kind of scoots along the counter, pushing the clove in front of it. No increase in speed or pressure will power through.

It's a pain to clean, too, but since you'll probably only use it once before giving up on it, that hardly matters.

(2 stars) - Will last about a month
I thought this would be very handy at first, but the wheels must be on a fairly rough surface in order to turn. I had to use it on a rubbery cutting board. After about 10 washes, it completely fell apart. The piece that holds the wheel assembly in keeps popping out and I may as well throw it away. Get a traditional garlic press.

(4 stars) - Great for the arthritic
Because of the reason mentioned in heading, I have days when I can't use a garlic press -- but can manage this "toy" just fine. It does a nice job and I'm getting one for a friend with similar problems. Use whatever suits you best. Just so you keep on cookin'!
