Can Crushers for Recycling - 16 oz Heavy Duty Aluminum Can Crusher Wall Mounted - Soda and Beer Can Smasher for Recycling with Bottle Opener - For 12 and 16 oz Cans - Easy to Install - RamPro

love it! can-crushing is so therapeutic! lol the crusher unit is very well made, of heavy metal so i expect it to last a long while. affixed to my deck post & my only complaint is the included mounting screws were not very substantial - the heads popped off! no worries - mounted it with deck screws & all is well! :-)

Been trying to get everyone in the family to crush their cans before tossing them in the recycle bin to save room and no one would do it til we got this and installed it on the wall above the recycle bin in the garage. Easy and fun to use. You need to very slightly squeeze the can first just to start collapsing the walls before you put it in the crusher. Makes crushing it way easier.

Hope it lasts seems tuff hate that it doesnt smash cans completely flat for more storage like my feet can but its good enough for my needs and back

Works like a dream! Crushed 99% of what I needed it to. 1% were too big, little foot smash for height, and inserted for crush.

Works very nicely! I'm a repeat customer.

I bought this item with the idea that I'd crush all our cans and then save them to take to the local recycling company and get some money back. When this came in the mail I was excited and so ready to use it. My husband assembled it to the wall and I started my can crushing venture. The majority of cans it was going to be crushing were 12oz Cola cans. Within a few minutes of crushing I realized I had made a huge mistake in ordering this item. The cans were sometimes hard to crush and took a lot of "umpf". Admittedly some cans smashed easier than others. Some of the cans would fly out of the crusher mid-crush and fly half way across the kitchen. The cans have extremely sharp edges so that could be very dangerous. I know that all cans are going to be sharp once they're crushed so that isn't the issue that I have with it. My issue is that there isn't any safety measures on the crusher to stop the can from flying out. I stuck with my manual can crushing for about three months until the screws in the sides of the handle got loose and started to fall out. Eventually they were no longer screws, they were nails. All the grooves had been grind off from all the cans I was crushing. The handle was a loss and we taped it with duct tape. It's been months since I ordered this item and I no longer have it. I threw it away because it became wobbly; so it was a handle-less and wobbly sharp can launcher. I won't purchase it again. I spent $10 more than the price of this item and got an automatic can-crusher with a safety guard, and I'd suggest you get something else as well..

Easy to install, simple to use. The handle arm pieces started to bend after a few months requiring occasional adjustments by bending them back to compensate. This would cause the handle mechanism to get caught on itself when operating.The handle itself disconnected from the arms on one side after a little under a year. I'd be able to pop it back in but the metal just couldn't hold it in place anymore.I ended up using rubber bands to hold the handle together for the last few months and it actually worked well. But unfortunately just last week it finally broke down completely. The metal that holds the handle mechanism to the body of the crusher completely snapped rendering the crusher dead.So I bought it in Nov 2020, lasted to January 2023 albeit on life support for over a year. It's not the sturdiest metal. There's a lot of flex and weak points so over time these parts are just prone to breaking.Keep in mind I didn't use excessive force and for the last year or so I've dented the cans slightly while pulling down on the handle to take a lot of the force off of the thin metal arms. I think that extended the life of this quite a bit as well.

Working great
