Because it's a lever on side, all presses will do that. You're supposed to turn the tortilla 180° in the press and lightly press it again to even it out.

How is a couple of dollars off of a not well-rated product a slick deal?

Once you try homemade flour tortillas, the premade store-bought ones don't taste good anymore.

I have not personally mastered my tortillas yet, but my SO's family has lol. The basic recipe requires butter or oil, flour, warm water, and salt. Obviously there are different recipes that vary on certain ingredients. I was gifted a tortilla press yesterday, coincidentally, otherwise, I would have bought this one. My current struggle with making tortillas is rolling them out, but with a press it seems to take away the hassle. I will be trying my tortilla press out tonight lol.

FYI..... After reading reviews it seams that the tortillas come out uneven (thicker on one side, and thinner on the other), otherwise the reviews seamed mostly positive.

Flour tortillas are supposed to be rolled out. Corn tortillas get the press. Go for a wood press or one of those steel ones that are supposed to be used on the stove/grill.

True, but homemade ones get moldy within like a week. Store bought ones don't mold for like years somehow lol

I've found that using a cut open ziploc bag and a large pan works for me. Otherwise, would have gone in for one

Worth doing for corn tortillas?

I recall it being a bit of a pain the last time I tried but I do go through quite a few per week.

LOL That's how a dorm mate did it in college. He got so popular, he started selling them and that's all he did in the evenings. I think he used wax paper & a pan though.

Corn Tortillas are what this device is made for.
Also, yes it's totally worth it because when Corn tortillas cool down, an irreversible chemical reaction takes place that converts the starch into a different form. No matter what you do to reheat it, it will never be as good as fresh again.
So, fresh tortillas are best as long as they are kept warm.
Store bought can never come close.

I have been looking at these after hearing that people tenderize chicken with them.
I have been asking people if they'd heard of doing that but no one around me has. In for one.
