"Before the can crusher, we were putting uncrushed aluminum cans in trash bags and the bags would fill quickly. We were using lots of plastic trash bags, which didn't make recycling sense," shared one im-pressed shopper. "We installed it in less than five minutes ... We still haven't filled up one trash bag, and before the can crusher, we would have already filled at least two!"
"[This] can crusher is great!" gushed another happy buyer. "I'd assumed it would be flimsy and not very sturdy, but to my surprise, it is heavy metal and very sturdy. ... Will make it much easier to recycle cans this summer!"
Little ones enjoy using it too. "The grandkids love crushing cans!" exclaimed a third enthusiast. "Strong and long-lasting."
Several users had the same note as this reviewer, who said, "The handle stayed upright for the first month of crushing every day, then gradually got loose and now hangs down, but we still like it and use it constantly."
"My only dislike: At the very end of crushing a can, it seems like [the] area where the handle connects could be reinforced a little more," wrote a final fan. "Other than that, it's great and easy to use, even for kids. (Note: Squeezing the can a bit first will make it easier to crush.)"
