McKay 16 oz. Metal Can Crusher, Heavy-Duty Wall-Mounted Smasher for Aluminum Seltzer, Soda, Beer Cans and Bottles for Recycling - Blue

Great seems quite well made and crushes cans well and very easy to use, but we do actually slightly dent the cans first. This has actually saved a lot of space in our bin as it always filled us so quickly.

I recently purchased the McKay 12 oz. Metal Can Crusher and it has exceeded my expectations. The heavy-duty wall-mounted smasher is perfect for crushing aluminum cans and bottles for recycling. The black finish looks great in my kitchen and the compact design takes up very little space. The crusher is very easy to use and can easily crush cans and bottles with minimal effort. The soft grip handle makes it comfortable to hold and the sturdy construction ensures it will last for years to come. Plus, the fact that it can handle both cans and bottles is a huge plus for me. One thing I appreciate about this product is that it helps me reduce the amount of waste I produce. By crushing cans and bottles, I can fit more into my recycling bin and do my part for the environment. It's a win-win situation! Overall, I highly recommend the McKay 12 oz. Metal Can Crusher for anyone looking for an efficient and durable way to recycle their aluminum cans and bottles. It's well worth the investment!

I bought the McKay Can Crusher/Smasher because I was getting embarrassed by the racket of all my empty beer cans clanging around when dumping them into the recycling bin. Enough was enough – instead of cutting back on beer, I decided to tackle the can situation head-on with this crusher. And wow, this thing is a lifesaver! Not only does it crush each can down to about 1-inch thick, saving me tons of space in the recycling bin, but it also makes the process super quiet. I can fit way more cans in the grey bin after they’ve been crushed, and the built-in bottle opener is a nice added bonus. The crusher is solidly built, with sturdy steel arms and a comfortable, cushion-grip handle. It’s easy to use and works on both 16 oz. and 12 oz. cans, plus plastic bottles. Now, I don’t have to feel guilty about my beer intake since the recycling process is so much more efficient. Happy days! The only minor issue I’ve noticed after all this use is that the handle doesn’t always stay upright anymore. Not a huge deal, though, as it still looks fine whether it’s up or down.

Choose a very solid location and low down for ease of use. Excellent quality, great value for money, very sturdy, nice colours. Better than going to the gym 🏋️‍♂️ 💪.

A cheap and cheerful product that does what is needed. It isn’t particularly high quality but it doesn’t really need to be. It’s not a very smooth action, but if you put a little grease on it is all good.

It does crush cans, but you need to put a fair amound of effort into it - I suggest putting a slight dent int he side wall first to help the crushing get started. Device does deforms and bends out of shape faily easily, so now the handle rubs on the side and sometimes gets stuck Also cans often get stuck inside and you need to find a tool to pry them out since they have sharpe edges. Only works upto 500ml, not pint sized.

Cracking piece of kit

It's does what it says on the can, it crushes them little devils to bits. Good product all round. Easy to fix to tha wall, all the fittings came with it. Awesome job.

If you can use a drill and a screwdriver, you can install this can crusher. Once installed, crushing the cans a breeze. It's well made, and it works. What else do you need to know? Quick hint: slightly dent your cans before crushing them. It makes crushing them much easier.

EXCELENTE

Buenos materiales. Solo vale para latas habituales, las alargadas no entran, podrían hacer un modelo más universal???

Works great, heavy duty and solid. Stiff at first but after a few cans that was resolved

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.
