Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Easy Pull Auto Dispensing No Mess Can Crusher
Customer Review: Satisfied customer
Summary: 5 Stars
This can crusher works great. It is fast and easy to operate. I crushed about a dozen 13gal kitchen trash bags of cans and it worked great. The unit worked flawlessly for about 3/4th's of the cans then starting binding up. It still works ok, but it started out very smooth and now it binds resulting in a slight jerking when crushing cans. The jerking is more irratating then anything but overall I am very satisfied. Hopefully it will hold up long term.
Update: 2/13/2011 EZ Pull contacted me regarding the jerking motion with my crusher. They replaced it and the new one is working flawlessly. It appears they may have changed the material on the internal bushings that glide on the stainless steel rods (don't know for a fact except they are a black now vice a silver metalic look with the old model). I am guessing the current bushings will work better. EZ Pull is serious about developing the best can crusher on the market and I agree it is. Very well designed, quick and easy to use. Their customer service is outstanding as well.
Customer Review: Best can crusher ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
We ordered this from Amazon, and received it quickly. I mounted the crusher in the laundry room were it is easy to get to. We ordered it for my autistic son to make extra money. I was sceptical about getting it because of the price but it was the one he wanted so I ordered it. It works great! It is well worth the price plus some. My biggest concern was leftover liquid in the cans spraying everywhere when you crush them. This doesn't happen with the design of this product. Crush away, there is no mess. One of the best features is once you put the can in the crusher you do not need to touch it again. My son was able to crush a bag of cans in a couple of minutes. We also have the collection bin which is great. The bin holds alot of crushed can without having to empty it. I have used other crushers but this is by far the best and eayest I have ever used. When this one wears out we will buy another Easy Pull. My son says the reason it works so well is because it's made in America and American made is the best.
Customer Review: Solid solution at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is very well engineered and constructed. I can't see any way to improve on the design. The operation is very smooth, and there is ample leverage such that even my kids can do the job. In fact, they love to do it, so lazy dad can hand them the cans and they fight over who gets to crush!
I have used other designs, this one wins, hands down. Be sure to get the matching bin that fits into the crusher, it's a neat and clean solution and worth the extra money; keeps the whole thing off the floor and conceals all the crushed cans: Easy Pull Collection Bin. When it fills up, just dump it into a larger recycling bin. You can buy the crusher and the collection bin together, which is what I did: EZ Pull Can Crush System with Storage Bin.
I can't think of a reason not to get this system.
Customer Review: Easy-pull crusher - a pretty good unit
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this unit for a few weeks now and it works quite well. I have it mounted above a large bin, and it automatically drops the cans right in. Initially I was a bit turned off by the plastic construction, but it hasn't been a problem at all. It will be interesting to see how it holds up over the long run. All the pivot points have steel pins and they're capped off on the ends with those press-on keepers rather than a more expensive threaded nut. I think as long as you don't abuse it, it should work for many years. The only criticism I have is the mounting. It consists of only 2 screws; one on the top and one on the bottom. I would consider mounting it to a piece of plywood or something, with larger screws, then mount the plywood to your wall with a screw in each corner. When you crush a can, you shouldn't be stressing the mount all that much anyway, as the end of the handle's pull tends to push a little inwards anyway. Overall I like this unit and would buy another one if I needed one.Customer Review: Handy And Easy To Use Can Crusher
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought one of these Easy Pull Auto Dispensing Can Crushers with the crushed can container several years ago for our cabin. It has worked very well and is enjoyed mostly by the kids. So we decided a few months ago to get another one for our home. It is made of a heavy use material which I believe could be of a plastic/spun glass mixture and has taken much abuse at the cabin. One of the features I do like is the rotating handle which lets you hold the handle grip in your hand through the entire motion without letting it turn in the palm of your hand. Also it is a one hand operation that does not require excessive force to crush the cans and the available crushed can container makes it easy to remove and to dump the crushed cans into a recycle bin. With our use we find that the collection bin holds about thirty five crushed cans. We our happy with both of our Easy Pull Auto Dispensing No Mess Can Crushers and would recommend them highly to anyone!
