Title: Doesn't work very well
Review: I purchased this can crusher because I did NOT want a wall-mounted crusher. K. Exline has already written an excellent review explaining why this crusher simply doesn't work well, but it bears repeating: this can crusher requires more time and effort than a wall unit, and it can't handle non-standard sized cans. The crusher doesn't even do all the work for you; it sort of smashes the can from the side, and to get the can truly flat you have to remove it from the crusher and stomp on it. When I pressed hard on the handle to crush the can, it would make an ominous creaking sound, as though it was being strained almost to the breaking point, which made me afraid that it would be easily broken. I only used this can crusher for a few weeks before I got tired of the extra work and just bought a wall-mounted crusher, which I should have done from the beginning. The wall-mounted crushers are sturdy metal and cost about 50% less, too.
Is the review positive or negative?
