Assy was a bit tedious; but, no issues/all parts present. Could have used a few more pics in the instructions; but managed OK with a little back & forth page flipping.
Haven't used much, yet (new rlpcmnt regulator on-the-way for my larger compressor).
Definitely needs 100 PSI for smooth, fast operation; bit slow/not as much can compression at 80 PSI. Gets stuck if running at 60 PSI.
Can't speak to the CF/per can-crushed consumption; but definitely better off running off a larger compressor/tank.
Like the can stack/loader (holds 8, w/one in the chamber).
Foot pedal works well/is handy. Prefer over hand-actuated button.
Great bang for the buck.
Well recommended.

Works perfectly, can be a bit fussy about cans that are already dented, and mis shaped. Overall, it is a lot of fun and can smash a lot of cans in short order. I will have to really save a bunch of cans to justify buying this but the fun factor has to be considered.

Will be very useful helping in saving space and it was fun to show and teach my nephew on how air hydraulic works only draw back are the assembly instructions, who writes those directions? How about having a website with a video on how to assemble the unit ? I am sure a whole lot of people would like that

I bought this product as a nice garage workshop area to deal with the soda cans that inevitably take up quite a bit of space, but I was going to start setting them aside for metal recycling recovery versus lumping them in with the rest of the recycling to turn in for scrap money. A better use of the cans and easier to consolidate many more of them before the space constraint means I need to haul them in.

My daughter also wanted to help build the project, so this was a fun little tour for her into mechanizing the crushing. Fun times we had building the little project and seeing what it could do after. To date, we have crushed about 500 cans and havent had any issues as some reviews have mentioned. I would say the crushing plunger needs some size increasing as the cans slip past it a little too often, but in time I may modify that portion.

I recommend you install the unit while allowing for access to the plunger area because cans can get stuck either against the plunger, or the cradle. I have installed a valve that I can close in the air supply line that removes the air pressure to "service" the unit, as you cant be too careful when dealing with this sort of crushing, it will take a finger off if you were relaxed in your care and went to remove something while the air pressure was active. I will cut the shutoff valve and run the plunger one more time to release any stored air pressure till activating it causes no movement. Just to be safe while I try to remove a can stuck somewhere. You've been warned.

Overall happy with the purchase. Would buy again.

The rods for the can feeder like to come back out, had to put a drop of superglue on them prior to insertion to keep from having to keep putting it back together. Otherwise, works great.

Would be better if the coupler was a right angle fitting and pointed down. This can be fixed with a trip to the hardware store, but would be better if they were just included. The mufflers on the activation button make disconnecting the air line troublesome.
