Can Crusher for Recycling by Grzzly Living | Heavy Duty Can Crusher Wall Mounted 500ml or 16oz Cans | Wall mounted Can Smasher for Recycling Beer or Soft Drinks Cans

Got this to save space in the recycling bin from empty beer cans. Does a great job. I decided not to fix it to the wall as I worried about how much pressure it would put on the wall during use. I opted to leave it free standing, albeit on its back, and use it on the counter in the utility room. If you press in the middle of the beer can slightly before crushing it makes it easy to crush without needing excess pressure.

Great product. Really sturdy. Makes more room in the recycling bin.

Easy to install, fixings included, perfect size, stable handle doesn't fall down, non-slip surface, includes free can sleeve, excellent value, great product, highly recommend...

Generally this does a great job of crushing cans but I faced few issues.Mounting it on my wall with the included plugs and screws was simple enough and holds it very strong which is essential (brick wall; not sure if wood or plasterboard would be strong enough, might need special screws/mounts for that). Pop your empty can in (well, most of them, up to 500ml size - pint cans and 500ml with widgets etc. won't fit), pull it down firmly and quickly then release.Other people said it's best to slightly crush the side of the cans first, but this sends the cans into a funny shape with lots of sharp edges sticking out (and sometimes catching in the crusher mechanism). I had better results just putting fully straight cans in then crushing fast and firm, resulting in perfect smooth can pucks every time!First couple of weeks it worked so well but the rubber grips soon started to fall apart and there sounds/feels like a metal-on-metal rubbing somewhere when moving the lever (which is less noticeable when pulling firm and fast, but pull slowly and the whole thing starts to stick). Not sure whether this is a defect, or something caused by previous 'advice' to slightly crush the side of the cans by hand first before using this.That aside, It still does it's job, I might see about replacing it eventually, whether or not to try a different brand or another one of these in case my issues are a one-off.

Great sturdy product, easy to assemble. Arrived on time. Excellent service.

Bought this one because it looked similar to those sold by Bunnings. First impressions, not as robust as expected but time will tell. Screws provided for fixing are poor quality and easy to round off. Better to use your own (stainless) screws. Works well with aluminium cans but will not crush heavier steel cans. Works with most sizes because it has a flat plate doing the work rather than a ring.

Recycling bin gets overfilled.This little gizmo reduces down 75 percent.Arrived within two days. Fitted immediately .Size 6 drill bit Easy little job.BIG TIP , Squeeze your cans in the middle of the can which makes it dead easy to crush.Pop and beer cans. Not soup or baked bean cans.

I've had a couple of the cheap can crushers, and while one is still working, the other broke its weld, due to poor workmanship. I bought this one hoping that it was better made, and it was. The top three holes are in the same place, but you'll need to drill another for the bottom, and it's worth it. The mechanism feels more rigid, there's a higher quality feel to the slide, and there's a rubberised base where you put the can, plus a lip on the edge to stop the can from pinging out and hitting you in the face. That was one of the symptoms of the cheap crusher starting to fail, as the can stand started drooping. A can to the face is more of a surprise than a pain, but it's not pleasant.Buy this one if you want a better can crusher.
