Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of 16 oz Can Crusher
Customer Review: Terrible Product
Summary: 1 Stars
I mounted the can crusher onto my wall, and it was performed great for the first ten cans. Then the handle sheared off on one side. Undeterred, I simply fixed it with duct tape. Then the other side of the handle sheared off. Do not buy this product.Customer Review: Three-handed device
Summary: 2 Stars
Handle does not stay in upright position. When you have crushed a can, and go to remove it, you need to hold the handle, remove the can and insert another can while holding the handle up. Not efficientCustomer Review: Waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree with the other negative reviews about this product. It lasted me less than one week. Almost immediately the handle came unattached, and the metal bent like a pretzel. Very cheaply made. Don't waste your money. I'm now buying a heavy duty can crusher. Whomever is giving this a lifetime warranty must have a warped sense of humor.Customer Review: Works fairly well, but rivets are getting loose...
Summary: 3 Stars
When we first got this can crusher about five years ago it worked great and we were very happy. We did find that it works best if you crimp the can a little before you set it in to make crushing easier.
Over time however the rivets holding the base that you set the can on have gotten loose and the base now pitches downward a bit. The result of this is that the can often tries to slip out or occasionally is even "shot" out of the crusher. I beaned a window salesman once this way. Oops!
The rivets on the arm are also getting loose. Still, it has lasted about five years now and may continue to serve many more years.
The idea suggested my Mary Lynn sounds brilliant! I can't wait to try it out. It will almost certainly solve our projectile can problems.
Update: July 24, 2008
The rivets holding the handle have broken off, so it is challenging to crush any cans now between holding the handle together and trying to keep the can from firing out from between the jaws of the can crusher. At least it is never boring. I would downgrade the product to two stars but the rating system does not seem to allow this change.
Our household will be trying a different can crusher system this month.
Customer Review: Works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product so far. It crushes cans just fine, it has not given me the problems other reviewers have had. I would recommend this product.
