Pros:
• It's easy to load — Cans fit easily into the space provided for crushing, and I don't have to take any time aligning it to make sure it's centered or anything like that since the entire platform moves together.
• Cans are automatically eject once crushed — We've placed a trash can below the can crusher, and each can conveniently falls right in automatically when we lift the handle back to do another can.
• Cans are crushed consistently — Unlike the results I used to get when stomping on cans manually, this crusher gives the same compact crushed can output each time, which makes them easier to handle after being crushed with fewer sharp exposed edges.
• It takes little effort to use — Because the design utilizes leverage forces efficiently, it doesn't take much effort at all to crush each can, which is particularly nice to know since my parents aren't getting any younger, and I'm confident that even as they age, they'll never struggle to use this.
• It's fast — Because of the things I've mentioned above, it doesn't take long at all to do each can. I can easily do about a dozen cans a minute with this crusher, and could probably do 15 or more per minute if I really focused.
• Excellent customer service — I originally purchased this back in June 2010 and had to get a replacement in January 2013. They were courteous and helpful, and walked me through the process. I had my new can crusher by February 2013 and it has been working flawlessly since then.
• Built to last — We've used this to crush thousands of cans since we started using it five years ago, and it's never given us any trouble. It works just as well today as it did the day we got it. That's even more impressive considering that we have it installed outside the house, which is admittedly contrary to the manufacturer's recommendation (they advise installing it indoors, such as in a covered garage). Despite the fact that it's been exposed to the elements for five years, which I'm guessing is not what it was designed/intended to withstand, it still works perfectly.
Cons:
• It's not completely maintenance free — I have to remember to lubricate the guide rods with petroleum jelly at least once a year, or the guide rods could start wearing down the slots in the upper platform, which could permanently damage the crusher. It's no big deal; it takes three minutes to do it, and I only need to do it once a year. I just have to make sure I remember to do it, that's all.
• The cans could be crushed a little bit smaller — This can crusher doesn't get them quite as small as I can by stomping on them, but the result is still very compact and I don't mind the difference. In fact, if it really did bother me, I could have just placed a piece of plywood on the base to raise each can a little more during the crushing process, and they'd be that much more crushed.
Bottom Line:
It's a great value and I'd have no reservations about recommending it to anyone.

Bottom Line:
It's a great value and I'd have no reservations about recommending it to anyone.
This is a "Made in USA" product that is made in the way we all wish we could expect- the way "Made in the USA" promised and delivered, many years ago.
I avoided the multi-can hopper style crushers, because of the reports that they tend to jam up, or fail over time. More complicated engineering often leads to poor performance or early failure. Simple can be good.
This device is very simple, but also very well engineered. I'm an engineer- I appreciate something made well, and built to last. This is one of the few products I've seen, in the past many years, built to that vision. Very refreshing.
The few metal parts are high quality stainless steel, that has not rusted in my hot, humid environment in Hawaii. The plastic parts are made from high quality thermo plastic, not the cheap brittle plastic that you are familiar with, and they are gusseted for strength, and nearly unbreakable. The engineering is impeccable.
I expect many years of use from this crusher. I've been using it for 6 months, and can tell you that I can easily crush 30 or 40 cans per minute, loading one can at a time by hand. The crushed cans drop neatly and accurately into my 5 gallon bucket container, 3 feet below. I'm skeptical that anyone can do better, with the multi-can hopper style crushers, especially given their tendency to jam up.
Bottom line: I don't think you can do better.
Great product. These designers deserve congratulations- I wish they worked on all my household essentials.
UPDATE AFTER 3 YEARS:
Still going strong, after thousands of crushed cans. Great engineering, lasting quality.
UPDATE 11/2015:
After 4 years of hard use, the pull handle grip failed on this unit- I was able to cobble a quick replacement from 1/2" PVC pipe. I emailed the manufacturer easypullproducts , and they immediately mailed out a replacement handle at no charge.
After 4 years and thousands of cans crushed, I could already write this off as a good purchase- But this sort of personal customer support is just so rare- I hope my review will result in increased sales, because we need companies like this, who produce well designed quality products, and back them up with great and very personal customer support-
So rare, so welcome.
UPDATE After = 10 Years =
My original 2011 crusher finally failed after >10 years of hard daily use and thousands of cans easily crushed.
Nothing actually broke (the HDS frame is bulletproof), but one of the pivot pins lost it's cap and came loose. I could probably get a new pin & cap from Dial Industries, and I have made a temporary fix with a 1/4 inch bolt, but I prefer to support this fine US manufacturer by purchasing a whole new unit.
This is a great product made by great engineers. There are similar knock-off products available, but why take a chance when I already know that this company's products are so well made? I mean, when do you expect a $30 tool to last over 10 years of hard use?
PS: as many have noted, this crusher is designed for standard 12oz beer/soda cans- taller cans won't fit. Some of the new "slim mini" 8oz cans soda/juice cans will fit with a little push, they are only slighly taller than the standard 12oz, but 16oz and tall Coors 12oz cans will definitely not fit. Not a problem for me- 99% of the cans I crush are standard 12oz.
