Customer Reviews

Great item, but will it last?
I bought this to replace my old "The Crusher" (also sold here), which gave up the ghost after 12 years. I wasn't entirely satisfied with The Crusher for several reasons, so decided to try another brand. Before describing the Easy Pull, let me mention the problems with The Crusher. First, it would occasionally spit out a partially crushed can - more so as it got older. Second, I felt the cans could be crushed a bit flatter. Third, although the construction was sturdy, the main pivot was made of sheet metal and it simply wore through over time (with a better pivot, it would probably last forever).

Moving on to the Easy Pull. I bought it because several reviewers here recommended it. It installed easily on my wall in the garage with two nice, long bolts. A note on installation. Because you will be applying some force, it needs to be mounted solidly - easiest is to find a wall stud. Second, be sure it is at a convenient height for operation. Third, find a location where it is convenient to place a sack or other receptacle under the unit to collect crushed cans.

The design of the Easy Pull is clever. Through a combination of levers, the can tilts forward as it is crushed. When the handle is then lifted up, the can drops out. The unit operates easily and smoothly, and the cans are crushed a little flatter than my old The Crusher. If you have a lot of cans to crush, you can go very fast, up to 15 - 20 cans per minute.

I'm impressed with the design and happy with the Easy Pull. My only concern is durability, as it is made mostly of plastic. It has a 30 day warranty, but will it still work 5 years from now? I am so impressed with the design that I would be happy to pay 10 or 15 dollars more for a "heavy duty" version.

Overall, I recommend the Easy Pull because it works so well, but with the understanding that I am not sure how long it will last.

July 13, 2008 UPDATE: Well, here we are eight months later and the crusher is still working fine, crushing 3 to 6 cans per day. My concerns about durability have been laid to rest.

High quality crusher
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3FK4A9TWH48D4 This crusher keeps going and going and going! It is made of a very strong plastic, and unlike metal crushers, the pivot point on this contraption is rock solid. I've had it for almost two months now. It's easy to install, quick and fun to use, and it crushes standard size cans down to a fraction of the size. It's great. Instead of buying the collection can, I place a big plastic tote underneath the crusher - the cans automatically discharge into it.

For a moderate workout, collect a good amount of cans and then bring them to the crusher and start crushing away! It's a fun, rhythmic process that leaves you with a sense of accomplishment after you're done.

Finally - One that works!
I have spent a great deal of time researching can crushers in the hopes of finding one that really works and is worth what you pay for it. Our previous purchase lasted all of about a month and fell apart. The Easy Pull Can Crusher was purchased about six months ago and has not given us a bit of trouble. If it quit working tomorrow, I would definitely purchase another one pronto! I highly recommend this product. Just make sure you anchor it into the wall solidly. I screwed a small sheet of plywood into the wall studs in our storage room and then anchored the can crusher to the plywood. Works great!
