After doing about 4 dozen cans, the handle started to bend and spread at the pivot and the bail wire for the crusher plate started to slip out. After that it's trash. Recommend Dial Industries can crusher made from polystyrene. Its better designed, holds 10 cans and half the price.

We've had this 2 years, and in that time it's crushed about 9 full sized garbage bags of cans. Time to replace it.

Don't get too personally attached to that wire framed can stacker. Ours detatched after about 3 bags full, leaving an effective single can crusher. After 6 more bags full of cans, we've lost the crusher today. The metal moving parts are too bent out of shape. That's about 75 bucks worth of cans it's gone through.

This product is adequate for your typical home use. It's problems consist of outdated design & worksmanship. For example, in the past, all the cans were basically the same size making the multi-can stack very nice; but now some cans are smaller, some are larger, throwing off the whole idea of the "Cage" or "shute" loading system. Also, too much pressure on the handle will bow it and pop the handle out.
