Review: Solid product-works great! - Works great! Crushes heavier cans and water bottles. Solidly built and looks nice mounted. Also is nice that it folds up flat against the wall when not in use.
Review: A 2 yr old operated this flawlessly with one hand on the first try! - I bought my first one over a year ago. I'm a hardcore Redbull addict (zero shame) and go through a ton of the standard sized slim cans. Before I stumbled upon this can crusher I had been doing the overwhelmingly ineffective one handed can squish to "save space" in my recycle bin. Yep... I really "saved some space" doing it that way. Instead of fitting only 17 cans in the bin, I could fit 20 (sarcasm doesn't get much thicker than that). When I found this can crusher, I was actually looking for one, and like most people, I bought it based on the rating and number of reviews. And I was elated to find that it absolutely lived up to the hype! I have rather weak arms due to a chronic health condition (which makes me a very odd duck as I'm a maintenance tech, driveway auto mechanic of 20 years, and a furniture builder... I'm also a 5ft 100lb F), and even on my bad days when it's too painful to even lift my arms, I can still slam a can perfectly flat in this thing. My friend's 2 yr old wanted to try it out, so I totally let her take the handle.. fully supervised of course (I'm not one to deny a little girl who shows interest in how mechanical stuff works). That kid executed a single one handed downswing, and flattened a can on the first try! What I like most about this crusher, and what you'll see in almost anything made to top quality standards, is that the performance has remained consistent for over a year. While the one I bought originally has been beaten all to hell, and looks like it got run over by industrial farming equipment, it still works just as perfectly as it did when I first unboxed it. So, if it's that great, why did I need to get another one? As sturdy and well made as it is... it's not idiot proof. Nothing really is though. One of my friends (the type who thinks he's a pro .. but isn't.. at all) decided he was smarter than me ..and the manufacturers of the can crusher.. and proclaimed that he was going to "fix it" (apparently he thought the handle arm was too stiff) with a quick spritz of WD40. He'd done it before I could stop him. DO NOT make that mistake!!! The arm will not stay up anymore, and instead, flops out and down. I have had to secure it with a clothes pin ever since.. and I still yell at the idiot who messed it up whenever I see him. So.. the new one I just ordered is 100% because of how beaten up the old one looks, and it's an eyesore in my kitchen. But because it still works perfectly, I'll move the old one into my workshop where looking beaten up blends in.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is it made**
A: It's made in the USA!

**Q: How do you fix the handle not staying up?**
A: You don't. Mine won't stay up and somehow it got bent when crushing cans, so it's going to be tossed out.

**Q: I know it says 16oz, but I mostly drink Bai water, which is 18oz. Anyone know if this will crush those?**
A: Our McKay Can Crusher is best for 16oz and would not recommend it using 18oz. You might need to crumple it a bit so you can use it on 16oz.

**Q: Will this crush metal soup cans?**
A: Possibly. I've never tried it though. I do know that it would require a great deal of strength and the can crusher would have to be mounted to something extremely solid in order to do so. If only mounted to the wall as mine is, I could see it tearing loose if used to crush something made of heavier metal, such as soup cans. Again, this is only conjecture on my part, but based on sound principles of physics.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good crusher for the price
*by N***K on August 29, 2025*

Great price and crushes large cans with ease, smaller cans required a bit more strength to crushed. Mounted it the day we received it and crushed around 1000 cans with it non-stop. It got thru the first 300-400 with ease then around halfway the arms got bent because they aren't bolted in the rivets slightly wore out. Have to make sure when you crush the can youre straight with the crusher so it doesnt bind. The can flipper also malfunctioned every 20 or so cans. Closer to 1000 can mark the rubber base is peeling off mostly gone, the can flipper function malfunctions 1 out of every 10 cans, and the unit arms seems alot more loose than when it arrived maybe consider using nuts and bolts ir screws to assemble it. Other than that the unit still works as advertised and does a good job. 4 out of 5 stars because the can flipper malfunction and the flimsy design of rivets vs screws/nuts+bolts
