It is built well - no plastic crap here. We've used this crusher for a few months now and expect to have years of use from it.
Only one con: Only crushes 12 oz cans. It should be designed to crush 16 oz cans too. The positives outweigh the one con mentioned. Highly recommend - Fast Shipping - Good Packaging
UPDATE: 12/6/2014
We've used this Can Crusher for over a year now. Not a day goes by where we don't use it. It has crushed 100's of cans and is functioning great! It appears as if it is going to last for many years to come. We hope so. Can't tell you the time and effort which has been saved because we can crush each can as we go, instead of crushing a whole barrel full when it overflows. Because of this crusher, we get four times the amount in our barrel versus not being crushed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - GREAT GIFT IDEA TOO!
UPDATED: 1/30/2016
We've had this Can Crusher for over 2 1/2 Years. It works as well as the day we first used it. Still going strong!
As far as the device itself goes. To be honest, I am not sure why I purchased this crusher over the "Pacific Precision Metals THE CRUSHER Aluminum Can Compactor." They both have great reviews, but this crusher only crushes standard 12 ounce cans. I have tried to force through some 16 ounce cans (and Miller Lite 16oz pipe cans) by bending them, but I can tell this puts a HUGE amount of more stress on the device and has caused some very slight bending of the metal. I expect that if I were to do this consistently that It would significant shorten the life of this product. Still, this is a very tough device and if you are predominantly concerned with crushing standard 12 ounce cans, It will surely last a very long time.
I will report back my enormous profit when i take my cans to the recycling center.
UPDATE: After a years worth of can collection, I took my cans to my local recycling center. I was happy to find that it was only a few minutes from my house. My cans weighed in at 56lbs at $0.47 /LB for a total of $26.32. From what I have seen $0.47 a pound is not the highest of prices you can get for your cans, but the facility was close to me and I am happy. I made almost $30 I would not have otherwise and helped the environment in the process.
Installation took some time and effort. The back of the device goes against the wall, or whatever you mount it on. The back is a metal plate with six holes predrilled in it, three across the top and three across the bottom of the metal plate. I was afraid that if I used only the middle holes the device might eventually wobble from side-to-side while the studs upon which it would be mounted aren't wide enough for screws through four of the predrilled holes, two above and two below. This is the long way of saying I think the Crusher should be mounted on a board attached to the wall so it straddles a pair of the wall studs. If you've already got such a board in the right place, no problem. If not, you've got to acquire the appropriate piece of lumber, attach it to the wall and then attach the Crusher to it. A mounting board attached in a garage will usually have to be attached through a couple sheets of drywall (i.e., the firewall)--you'll want to keep that in mind if you have to buy screws.
Ithought it curious that the picture on Amazon showed a metalic device, while what they send is painted white. Parts of the Crusher slide against each other as it operates and this movement has scraped off a little of the paint. The instructions suggest youlubricatethe moving parts--then operation of the Crusher removes not only the lubricant, but the paint beneath it.
