    From the manufacturer

    How It Works

    Saves time

    It fills like a typical trash can, but it only needs to be emptied half as often. That's fewer trips to the curb and more time for other things.

    Saves money

    Crushing down trash fits more garbage in each bag, so fewer bags get used each week. Those savings add up week after week, year after year!

    Saves the planet

    Imagine the number of bags you've saved using by compacting your trash, multiplied by every home in your community! That's a significantly less amount of added plastic bags going to landfills. Basically, we are reducing the trash it takes to contain our trash! Fewer bags in landfills is less trash there too.

    A Closer Look

    Quiet, Convenient, and Quick

    Taking care of trash doesn't have to be noisy. Quiet lid with a simple and effect compaction device: perfect combination of power-packed trash and blissful quiet on the ears.

    Stylish and Elegant

    Trash cans are out in the open for all to see in most homes. This higher grade stainless steel is thicker than most and has the durable fingerprint resistant finish to keep it looking cleaner between wipe-downs.

    Quality We Stand Behind

    We are proud of the TK10 Trash Krusher and have made it so you will love it too. It has been made with good solid materials that will last a good long while of regular use. Please keep proof of purchase for warranty purposes!

    What to Expect?

    (1) Compaction Device (CD) wrapped up in the box.

    (2) Plastic Liner with bag fixer (to keep bags up and invisible when the lid is closed).

    (3) Stainless Steel Can with lid attached.

    Slip the liner in the can and fit the CD into the lid! (Side note: make sure to remove the cardboard from the underside of the lid or the CD won't stay).

    45 customers mention42 positive3 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the quality of the trash compactor. They mention that it does a great job of compacting the trash, feels solid all around, and is top of the line. The manual compaction reduces the volume of trash by about a third. It has decreased the trash bulk tremendously, and the compacting function is easy. It looks and feels like a quality step can, so you can use it just like you would any.

    Customers are dissatisfied with the lid of the trash compactor. They mention that it would fall off every time they opened and closed it, the soft close feature no longer works, and the screws holding the lid in place keep popping out. The magnets do not work, making the trash can useless. The lid sticks down on the base whenever you push down the trash, and it's missing screws and loose.

    Fix for pneumatic closer popping out of niche and lid slamming down

    Fix for pneumatic closer popping out of niche and lid slamming down
    The only problem has been that the pneumatic closer piston kept popping out of the bracket designed to hold it and then the lid would slam down, dropping the Krusher into the can. I fixed the problem by passing two zip ties through the existing slots in the can, behind the pneumatic piston, back through the existing slot on the other side and then cinching up the zip tie as tightly as possible. First remove the cover off of the pneumatic piston located at the bottom rear of the can. Look at the small pneumatic piston, and you will see it has popped out of its holding bracket. One zip tie through the slots high on the pneumatic device, second zip tie lower on the pneumatic device. Make sure the piston is back in its bracket before applying zip ties. Cover for pneumatic piston fits back on over all, and so far it has been a fix, one the company should do before shipping out the cans. (And yes I will accept payment from the company for the solution. :)
