Bent after a week of use

Update: After a week of use it is already fully bent on both arms. Very disappointing. See photos. Not recommended. Easy to use and seems durable! The handle is comfortable. My only complaint is that I don't feel like it crumples the cans flat enough; The top crushing platform stops too soon leaving you with a height of about 0.75 inches which takes up more room in my glass. Overall, however, I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a can crusher. For communication; Apparently they…

Pros
  • Working without hands
Cons
  • Will be added later

Perfect for a child to learn how to recycle and make some money.

We are pleased with this can crusher. I read the negative reviews about it and almost bought it. I decided for the price not to worry if it doesn't last long. Our teenager uses it weekly and it works very well. It is easy to use and has no problems with it. I love teaching him the importance of recycling and it's a great way to show him that a little work can put some money in his pocket and help save our planet. Win, win. We installed it on a privacy fence post. I would recommend installing it

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Unreliable junk. Attention buyers *UPDATED*

***Update*** The manufacturer contacted me to resolve this issue. Lots of props for the company that will be behind their product. Rarely seen these days. My review will be updated and corrected accordingly. Okay, while it serves its intended purpose of crushing cans, this thing is cheap junk. I had to step in and spend a few bucks more for a better brand/model. and the crushing plate bent/bent after the first start of the cans. Bending caused the side lugs of the crushing plate to bulge…

Space-saving recycling

Classic can crusher! I grew up with one of these in my parents garage in the 90's. I never understood its use until this year when I bought my own house and started recycling. My husband and I drink a lot of canned drinks and they quickly fill our kitchen basket. Lots of trips to the garage to empty. I bought this and my husband installed it in our pantry as it's kind of an eyesore. I also bought a mini trash can to put right underneath so we can crush our cans and toss them in the bin before…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Low-maintenance
