Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Can Ram - Aluminum Can Crusher
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: Almost solid, expect a year out of it
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a decent can crusher. We've been using it for about 1 year and crushed a lot of cans. If I had to estimate, maybe upwards 1,500 cans.
Even though it broke it was much better to work with than the single loading lever can crushers.
Advantages:
You can crush a lot of cans quickly. Get a partner loading cans as you crush, you can pound out 50 cans in less than 2 minutes.
Disadvantages:
If you are not careful, cans will get jammed. Doesn't happen that often if you fully crush each can but it does happen.
Over head bin construction is very weak and tends to allow cans to bounce out of place.
Fatigue will eventually cause the plastic to break. Ours finally gave in about a month ago where the pin holds the arm to the main base. The right loop broke right off and now our can crusher is essentially just plastic.
If the manufacturer reads these comments, I would suggest adding a metal band around the loops that hold the pin down to re-enforce the pressure the rings get when crushing cans. The pin was metal so it only makes sense that there is metal to reinforce the plastic it tries to contain. This way the plastic acts more like a bushing rather than the actual structure.
I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't expect it to last for ever. I'm now in search for a similar product made all of steel that will last 3+ years.
Customer Review: Auto Feed Can Crusher
Summary: 5 Stars
This product makes can crushing a pleasant and fun experience not a dreaded job. You can load it as you go and then crush all at once instead of standing there and loading a single can at a time to crush.Customer Review: Awesome clean up tool
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing works great. I have finally gotten my kids to clean up their empty cans because they have fun crushing them. Besides that, the recycle bin has a ton more room in it.Customer Review: Best-est Can Crusher
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 2nd one I've had. These can crushers are great. You can toss a can in them and walk away. Then you can wait for the weekend to crush them. I love the convenience. Definitely would recommend to anyone.
