Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aluminum Can Crusher 10 Cans 10 Seconds!
Customer Review: Aluminum Can Crusher
Summary: 5 Stars
This works just as promised! Excellent. With just raising the lever, the cans are crushed to a 1" height and fall through an opening straight into the recycling bin. You can load 10 cans at a time, so taking care of a large number of cans just takes a couple of minutes. A great investment!Customer Review: can ram does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
This product lives up to it's name. Sturdy, yet lightweight, it is easy to install and even easier to use. It has reduced the space of recycling immensely. I would strongly recommend it.Customer Review: Super Can Chrusher

Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this crusher to aid our recycling efforts and then decided to let our two young (7 & 4 y/o) children keep the proceeds for spending money. Under close supervision, they operate this crusher. I installed it just a bit lower than the instructions indicate so the children could reach it better, but changed nothing else. They can successfully operate it, and in fact enjoy doing so.
The crushing ram works very well, and the unit feels solid for the purpose. If the feeder is not kept at least half full of cans the lowest one or two tend to stand on end when the ram is retracted to allow the next can to drop into place, which is a bit of a nuisance. Otherwise we have encountered no problems. Buckling the sides of the cans a little before trying to crush them does make crushing easier, as the directions suggest.
The picture and mounting descriptions given failed to adequately describe enough about the product to really understand before I held it in my own hands. The handle shown in the picture pivots from the end of an extended base below the can feeder. The handle hangs down from the base when the ram is retracted to drop another can in place for crushing and is lifted and then pushed toward the wall in a vertical semi-circular arc. The base is solidly molded to a vertical mounting plate that is secured to the wall (preferably on a stud). There is a short opening in the base, just in front of the vertical mounting plate, through which the crushed cans drop after each compression. A container (box or bag) in place under the crusher will catch the cans.
Nice product. Easy to assemble. Definitely worth the money.
