What a great little kitchen tool for mincing garlic! It's so easy to use and very easy to clean. The more you twist, the finer the mince. I'm throwing my old garlic press away. It's cute enough to keep on my kitchen counter rather than tucking into a cabinet or into a drawer. I would definitely recommend. (Now I need the Dracula garlic peeler companion piece.)

I could not love this more! Not only is it super cute, it works SO WELL! I love to put crushed nuts in my salad and it makes the work fun and fast! No more pounding the bag with heavy objects!Easy to clean. Highly recommended!!

It's super cute. It's heavier than I expected. You can remove the peel with Gracula, but you have to be careful, gentle pressure, one small turn or two, etc. I found it's easier to remove the peel 1st. I find the end result to be uneven and the garlic gets stuck in the grinder. You can get most of it out with a few hard taps and I scrape the rest out with a small spoon. He's not dishwasher safe, but you don't need it, he cleans up really easily. Overall, he's super easy to use and clean, I can handle the uneven results and he's a breeze to clean. He also looks cute on my counter. I'd buy him again.

I love OTOTO brand, and this little vampire does not disappoint. He adds a little whimsy to my life when I'm cooking in the kitchen - and who can't use that? It works really well for crushing garlic, though I can't speak to the ability to chop much else as that's really all I use it for. Really easy to clean - I just throw it in the dishwasher and haven't had any issues. Doesn't hold onto any of the garlic smell either, which is great. He's easy to find in my drawer of other utensils. Overall, he's just so darn fun - I have never been disappointed in the quality or function of this brand - I hope they continue to turn out additional items to fill my life with fun and functionality :)

It’s cute. Really wanted to use it more than anything, but it’s not easy to extract the garlic from. If you’re a vamp fan who likes cooking like me this is a must have just ‘cause. However, again, the functionality is not great.

He's so freaking cute and works great!Also works well for ginger!

Super fun to use.
