Has anyone tried this gadget? Just want to know if it works and if its worth buying...

The worst $30 ever spent this past week. The device didn't pulverize 2 cloves of garlic and a nub of ginger. I'm going to be returning it. Gimick for sure.

My parents got one as a Christmas present and it looks kindof cool - but no different from just shaking dressings in a jam jar, really... It feels solid though, so it would be a fun purchase, but certainly not revolutionary in my opinion :)
