Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aluminum Can Crusher 10 Cans 10 Seconds!
Customer Review: Does it's job exceedingly well for the price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this last year for my father, he is a big time Coke drinker. And when I say big time, I mean the man has probably literally not had a glass of water in 15 years (but let's not get into a health discussion here).
Some years ago he grew concious of his effect on the environment from throwing away all these aluminum cans when he could be recycling them. The problem was he would line them up on the ground and crush them by stomping on them. Obviously this was a tedious task and he would let literally multiple hundreds of cans pile up in his kitchen, to the point you could not even set a plate down (he's an old timey bachelor, no reason to clean up).
Well I decided to take the initiative and buy this for him even though I had mentioned several times before he should buy some kind of crusher to simplify things. Since I knew he drank so much, this seemed like a much better solution over single can crushers.
Well since visiting his house I have had the oppurtunity to try this thing out several times whilst helping him clean up his home. I will load up a garbage bag with a couple dozen cans and go out and crush them.
It really is a remarkably simple device that provides much convenience. You can easily load up 9 or 10 cans as advertised, the plastic "cage" style basket lets you easily correct any cans that bounce up at odd angles. Takes maybe 10 seconds to load it and then you commence the crushing. I don't quite strive for 10 seconds, but it takes maybe 20 seconds at a leisurely pace, it actually is pretty efficient.
It's constructed of all plastic but that doesn't diminish the performance of the crushing. The "ram" part lifts up so you can insert elongated cans or to put that single can in. The actual crushing mechanism is pretty durable, with the "cage" being a little lighter, but really the cage is not subjected to any forces that could damage it.
Since buying this he now crushes his cans much more frequently and instead of hundreds piling up now maybe only a dozen or two will. He is actually fortunate enough to live near a recycling area that pays out money for aluminum so he will actually come back with a decent chunk of change ($30-50) when he finally takes a load down.
The only con is an occasional can will get stuck, but it's not a deal breaker. I still have to give this thing 5 stars because of the convenience to price ratio.
If you need to crush a lot of cans this is your guy right here, if you need to crush only a can once in a while then maybe check out a single can crusher.
Description of Aluminum Can Crusher 10 Cans 10 Seconds!
This is the can crusher you've been waiting for. Brand New! IT HOLDS 10 ALUMINUM CANS! You load it up with cans, crush 10 of them in a row, and then reload. The cans fall out the bottom. I use a 5 gallon bucket to catch them. It is made of high tech reinforced nylon. Never needs painting! Mounts with 3 screws. Easy assembly too. Works way better than metal can crushers in damp or outdoor environments. Why? Because it can't rust! Check my Feedback to see how my customers love this tool. Most of the time your visitors will crush your cans for you because this thing makes the can crushing chore FUN! Recyclers rejoice as they can speed up their work. This also makes a great gift for friends or relatives. Especially great for tailgators and other beverage type get-togethers. I have had mine for about 5 years now. IT WORKS GREAT! Please note that I found out that United Kingdom cans may not fit as they are too big. As far as I know only American soft drink and beer cans will fit. A 16 oz. can will fit, but only one at a time. It will also crush the 12 oz. Coors cans which everyone knows is a little taller than other cans. You can pack them right in there and it crushes them great.Storage & Organization
