Title: I don't understand the bad reviews.
Product review: I got this at Ace Hardware (the box says "The Can Smasher" but it is the very same item pictured here). It's a very solid product. I always squeeze the can just a touch before putting it in the crusher, slowly pull the handle, and it flattens it with hardly any effort at all.The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it's not the prettiest thing you could have in your kitchen. Luckily, I have black and silver appliances, so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb too terribly. If it ends up breaking later on down the road, I'll come back and report it, but I haven't had any trouble with it at all.Update January 22, 2012:This is still in the same shape it was when purchased, and we crush a heck of a lot of cans around here. It's held up beyond my expectations.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
