Review: Excellent - Does What It Says On The Box - Excellent, well made product. Made out of weighty steel - feels solid and robust. The locking mechanism may be a weak point, but there was a small flat magnet in the packaging, so when open I attach the magnet to the clip, so it keeps it out of the way. For steel tins (eg: beans, soup, dog food) you must ensure you use the pin screwed into the hole (careful when opening the package - the screw pin, the retaining bar, and a small magnet are loose in the box). Now press down so that the pin and the bar holds the tin in place, then apply full pressure with foot. Job done. Aluminium cans very easy to crush, but ensure they are up against the retaining bar or they will fly out. Try a few tins first to get used to it, requires a little input, but once mastered the results are excellent. I have always crushed plastic bottles, milk cartons and card boxes to save space in my recycling bin, but this is the next step. With the Kitchen Kraft Can Crusher, I would be happy if I only needed to put my bin out for collection once every 6 weeks - its that good - a perfect addition to my other space saving techniques. At £14 (April 2020) this is currently the cheapest price on offer, and the prime membership means next day delivery too. Highly recommend this product.
Review: thus flattening said can like a pair of pants in a hotel trouser press - So, what this very simple gadget does is flatten tin cans and it does it very effectively. I contemplated a wall mounted can crusher first but realised that the pressure it would take to squash a tin can top to bottom would result in probably tearing half a wall down. So this seemed a more sensible option. It flattens the cans along their length (ie you lay them on their side) which means there is far less strength in the can available to resist. There is an end "bar" which is in fact just a bolt which you can place in 2 positions to stop the cans sliding out. There is also a grub screw which can also be placed in 2 positions and helps dent the can to help it collapse. Overall the design is very simple and functional, it doesn't need to be complicated. The construction is very heavy, which if you're going to use something to squash metal then you want it to be. Usage is simple, if you've managed to find yourself sat looking at the reviews for this thing then in theory you already possess enough intelligence to work out that you pop a can between the two metal plates then stand on the top plate, thus flattening said can like a pair of pants in a hotel trouser press. Drinks cans squash very easily, some food tins may take a bit more pressure but will flatten completely once they start too. The mechanism folds flat and has a hook to latch it closed, again simple and functional. with the bar in place you need to apply some degree of pressure to close it enough to latch (but it will close enough, just!). If you're recycling correctly then you will have washed your empty cans out, if not then things will get a bit messy but it can be washed down. I've would give this 5 stars on the basis that it is fully functional with no fuss, I've dropped it to 4 stars because I feel that the price, for what this is, could easily be quite a bit lower.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it crush 500 ml cans?**
A: Yes- it’s really heavy duty and dishwasher safe. It has a stud to keep cans in position. Its made so that you use your foot. I recommend it. I’ve had mine for almost a year. You won’t have to buy another one. Hope this answers your question

**Q: Does it crush a 400g bean, soup or tomato tin**
A: This article is echo for cans, possibly can also crush cans otherwise

**Q: With the bar in place, the closing hook now doesn’t reach the latch. Surely I don’t have to put the bar in every time I want to crush a can??**
A: "Yes" I am afraid is the answer, we keep our's open all the time on the floor so it doesn't really apply to us.  Must admit though very impressed with it.

**Q: Would this crush the larger 800g dog food tins?**
A: Hi., I only use mine to crush the likes of Pepsi & coke ., beer cans .. aluminium.. and it's only really slightly wider than the likes of a Pepsi can.Hope this helps a bit.
