Norpro Steel Can Crusher: Durable and Dependable Quality

Amazon Customer: Crushed 12 cans with this and the riveting let go on the main handle,replaced it with a bolt and nut and all the other riveting broke. Pure junk,not worth the 20 I stent on it. I would return it,but it has been modified now and still is junk.

DelDel: First: I want a refund. The fact they sent me a scratched-up returned unit should have been a clue. But I didn't see it myself. I thought, "It's a can crusher. What possibly could go wrong?"

I mean the old one broke a rivet and replaced with a bolt. Handles eventually bent all to he!! so, what could a few scratches matter. They don't, this was design and built broken. Too late for me I folded the box and put it the trash. Coffee grounds juice made return not possible. I still want my money back. It's unusable. It's not worth returning.

Second, how in the world did this piece of junk get made? Did nobody notice the unit - 1. Doesn't compress well but 2. You smash your knuckles on the (in my case brick) wall?

Holly: I bought this for my 8 year old son who loves to crush and destroy things. He thoroughly enjoys crushing bottles and cans with this. Installation was easy and I particularly like how this crusher accommodates aluminum cans and plastic bottles while other crushers do only one or the other.

Charles Bennett: The product is designed for that it is advertised. The product however is durable or not well made. I bought the can crusher as I had been buying plastic bottles and the pint Coors Light cans. The crusher has the open hole in the top, so - OK! Looks like it fits the ticket. I tried to crush a pint can and it was a no go. The crusher did not have the strength to apply enough pressure and in the process of attempting to crush the can, the handle popped apart. The crusher is designed and sold as advertised. The product as mentioned is not durable. I don't recommend the product to anyone looking to crush more than small thin plastic water bottles. The seller did as expected, no problems there.

Amazon Customer: This is the second can crusher I have bought this year and like the first one it will do what it is supposed to do by crushing cans. The disappointing thing about this can crusher is that it does not crush the can completely flat and produces some sharp corners by not crushing it completely flat. I also believe it will eventually fail because the sides of the handle seem to be weak and flex. This is where the first can crusher failed. One good point about this crusher is it will crush large cans like Red Bull or other energy drinks.
