Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Can Ram - Aluminum Can Crusher
Customer Review: Fast, efficient, high value can crusher
Summary: 4 Stars
I researched metal and composite plastic can crushers and wanted something that was more efficient than stomping cans with my feet. The single can crushers that crush cans vertically are usually cheaper or higher quality, but I decided I wanted something with an auto-feed type shute. The Dial Industries M92 Can Ram aluminum can crusher satisfies all of my needs.
Pros:
- Fast, efficient, shute-fed operation
- Large lever arm makes for easy crushing
- Cans drop at the bottom into a bucket or bag of your choice
- Easy to mount and assemble
- Strong, solid feel
- Cans crush to a very small profile
- Will crush a 16oz can if done singularly
Cons:
- Crushing mechanism starts off crushing at an angle
- Can can pop up if there aren't enough cans in the shute
If the can crusher worked 100% of the time, I would give it 5 stars, but the speed you get from being able to crush multiple cans is worth the occasional missed can, making it faster than any single crusher out there.
Overall, it works better than I suspected and I'm satisfied with it for the $20 I spent.
Customer Review: Can crusher is cool!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the can crusher for my boyfriend who goes through a lot of cans. :) He mounted it on the wall right above the recycle bin and it works great! We put the cans in, crush them and they're in the bin, no mess no fuss. The only issue is that when they fall toeards the crushing part or you just toss the can in, you have to make sure that it falls the right way to properly crush it. If it falls incorrectly you have to stick your hand in the sticky mess to adjust the can. Also, I haven't yet figured out how I'm gonna clean it. Other wise, I think it was a great gift and he has a lot of fun crushing the cans and thank goodness he is picking up after himself too!Customer Review: Good can crusher
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent crusher. About 90% of the time the cans will drop straight down but once in awhile it jams and you simply have to pull the can out to clear it. But, I have crushed over 500 cans with it so far in the month that I have had it and it's performance was very good. Do NOT try to load anything bigger than a 12 oz. can because the chute isn't designed to handle that. I accidentally broke the chute trying to load an 18 oz. can and had to tape it back together.Customer Review: 4.5 star Can Crusher
Summary: 4 Stars
What a great item. It works like a charm, with two minor issues. When there are 10 cans in, sometimes the top one will pop out. The other is that sometimes the last two cans will pop up and you have to stick your hand in to lay them flat again. With that being said - I crushed thirty pounds of cans in a matter of hours. If you go thru a lot of cans this is the can crusher for you.Customer Review: Ignore the 1-star complainers
Summary: 4 Stars
The last two cans do not feed properly. BIG DEAL!! What's so bad about having to adjust those cans? I'm collecting bags of cans from neighbors for our softball fundraiser. Stomping them was going to send me to the podiatrist!
BTW Red Bull cans have to be loaded manually due to thier odd height.
