Garlic Press Price Comparison: Walmart vs Amazon vs Factory (2026)

HEHUI is a China kitchenware manufacturer with our own factory since 2010. Buyers often ask how a US shelf price for a garlic press relates to a factory quote. We checked two public sources by hand on November 11, 2026 (America/Chicago): the first page of Walmart.com and the first page of Amazon.com, both searching "garlic press". Sponsored listings on that first page were included; electric, battery and motorized mincers were left out, as were dicers and onion slicers that are not garlic presses. We did not paginate. TikTok Shop was not available in the region used for this check, so this article compares Walmart, Amazon and factory prices only. This is a price snapshot, not a landed-cost calculator.

Garlic press price comparison: Walmart vs Amazon vs factory

Multiples divide the retail price by the matching factory starting price and are rounded down. "All manual listings" uses US$1.60 (A-007) as the low end of the factory range and US$1.94 (GP-9) as the high end. Handheld lever listings are compared with GP-9; box-style listings with A-007. The Amazon box-style row has only two listings, so both prices are shown instead of a median. Retail prices are US consumer prices and factory prices are B2B "from" prices for 100+ units. They are not like-for-like, and factory prices exclude freight, duty and handling.

Walmart.com garlic press prices (first page, 2026-11-11)

We recorded 38 manual garlic presses on the first page of the Walmart.com search for "garlic press" on November 11, 2026 (40 result cards on that page; two were excluded: a garlic dicer and an onion slicer with a mincer). Prices ran from $3.97 (GoodCook Profreshionals handheld press) to $24.95 (Zyliss Susi 4). The median was $9.97, and the middle half sat between $7.44 and $10.98. Most of the page was handheld lever presses (31 listings, median also $9.97), which is the same form as our GP-9. Examples at the median include Thyme & Table and Cook with Color presses at $9.97. Two rocker presses were $10.00 and $11.05. Three box-style presses sold for $6.15 to $9.32, median $6.97.

Against our factory prices, the Walmart median of $9.97 is about 6x A-007 (US$1.60) and about 5x GP-9 (US$1.94). The middle half ($7.44–$10.98) is about 4x to 7x A-007, or about 3x to 5x GP-9. The $3.97 low end is about 2x, and the $24.95 Zyliss listing is about 12x to 15x.

Amazon.com garlic press prices (first page, 2026-11-11)

The Amazon.com first page for "garlic press" showed "1-48 of over 3,000 results". We counted those 48 results plus unique sponsored placements on the same page, and did not double-count SKUs, for 54 manual listings. Prices ran from $3.99 for a stainless handheld press to $65.95 for the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean. The median was $13.98 (a Gorilla Grip peeler-and-press set), and the middle half sat between $8.99 and $21.49. Handheld lever presses made up 43 of the 54 listings, with a median of $14.38. Seven rocker presses had a median of $9.99. Only two box-style listings appeared, at $6.85 and $29.99, so we do not treat an Amazon box-style median as a reliable benchmark. One electric mincer in a "Trending now" slot was excluded.

Against our factory prices, the Amazon median of $13.98 is about 8x A-007 and about 7x GP-9. The middle half ($8.99–$21.49) is about 5x to 13x A-007, or about 4x to 11x GP-9. Handheld lever listings, the closest match for GP-9, had a median of $14.38, about 7x our US$1.94 starting price. The $65.95 Kuhn Rikon press, and the $49.99 Dreamfarm Garject, sit far above typical listings and should not be used as the comparison point for a factory-basic lever or box press.

Factory prices: A-007 from US$1.60, GP-9 from US$1.94

We quote two garlic presses, and they are different tools. The A-007 is a compact double-sided press: a small lidded box with a cutting grid and a clear chamber. It starts at US$1.60 per set for 100+ units, in ABS / PS / 420 stainless steel. Its color box is 7 × 6.8 × 8.5 cm. The master carton holds 150 sets and measures 43 × 38 × 46 cm, about 1,996 sets per cubic metre, with a listed carton gross weight of 25 kg. That density keeps sea freight per unit low once you fill a carton.

The GP-9 is the long, black, hinged lever press with a perforated plate, 18 × 4.5 × 4.5 cm and 129 g. It starts at US$1.94 per piece for 100+ units. The product page does not list a master carton size, so confirm packing data before you plan freight. The sourcing listing also gives differing material descriptions; specify the handle and the pressing parts when you approve a sample. There is no minimum on stock orders, and logo, color or retail-box customization starts at 100 units. For what to check on a sample, see our wholesale garlic press sample checklist.

Why the retail vs factory price gap is wide

A 5x to 9x gap at the median is not pure margin. A shelf price carries the retailer's margin, marketplace fees, fulfilment, returns, advertising, brand investment and consumer packaging. The factory price is for the product at 100+ units, before freight and duty. The first-page listings also cover a wider range of designs and brands than our two models: rocker presses, peeler-and-press sets, and premium names such as Zyliss, Dreamfarm and Kuhn Rikon. The top of the Amazon range reflects those brands, not a typical import cost for a basic lever or box press.

Freight, duty and FBA or warehouse fees are separate and vary by route, volume and terms. For the A-007, 150 sets in a 43 × 38 × 46 cm carton means sea freight is only a small amount per press once you ship a full case. Confirm the GP-9 carton before you use the same logic. See our guide on shipping terms for small kitchen tool orders before you calculate landed cost.

What this means for wholesale buyers

1. Compare like with like: benchmark the GP-9 against handheld lever presses, and the A-007 against compact box-style presses, not against $50–$66 premium names.
2. Plan around the middle of the page, not the extremes. Most Walmart listings sit near $7–$11, and most Amazon listings near $9–$21. The $3.97–$3.99 low end is real, but thin; the $65.95 high end is a different product class.
3. The A-007 has the denser carton (about 1,996 sets per m³), which helps when freight matters. Confirm the GP-9 carton before you estimate a container load.
4. Add your own costs on top of US$1.60 or US$1.94: freight, duty, packaging changes, platform fees and returns. Ask for a sample and written packing data before you order 100+ units.

What is the factory price of a garlic press?

How many times higher is the retail price than the factory price?

At the median, Walmart ($9.97) is about 5x to 6x the factory price, and Amazon ($13.98) is about 7x to 9x, depending on whether you compare with the A-007 at US$1.60 or the GP-9 at US$1.94. Multiples are rounded down. Premium listings above $40 are not a fair match for these two models.

No. Compare the GP-9 with other handheld lever presses, and the A-007 with compact box-style presses. On this check, most Walmart lever presses were near $8–$11, and most Amazon lever presses had a median of $14.38.
