does it crush steel dog food cans or just soda and beer aluminum cans? they are bigger in diameter but a little shorter than a soda can.

I wouldn't trust it very long crushing dog food cans. Not built strong enough to hold up long term.

Does not or will not crush dog, soup, vegetable, or any other can actually the arms will bend on everything but plastic

No I don't think it will work with steel cans. This thing is made out of pretty cheap metal and it bent up on me the second day I used it. I got a refund from Amazon and they didn't even have me ship it back. I threw this one away and got a can crusher made by Pacific Precision instead. It's a lot more heavy duty and I'm really happy with it. Though I still don't think it would be capable of crushing steel since it's so much stronger than aluminum.Hope this helps.

Probably not without extreme effort. I do not think it would be useful for that purpose as it sometimes has trouble on thicker beer cans.

Let me answer it this way I have used it to crush the cans that the energy drinks that look like a bottle on the top. Since I dont drink that type of beer I cant say 100% but if it will crush the bottle cans that I have put in it I am sure it should do the job. It is very heavy duty I know that since someone threw a steel can by mistake in my cans and I was able to crush that also although I do wouldn't advise continuous crushing of steel cans.

I don't think i would use it for steel cans. It is made of a very hard plastic sort of material that doesn't seem to me would last very long with steel cans. Also, only standard soda and beer cans will fit in the area of the crusher. 16 oz beer cans are usually too tall to fit in the crusher.

No I don't believe it would. The way it works is it tilts as you crush the can so that it drops the can when you release it. That in itself would make it too difficult to crush that small a can. I also don't think cat food cans are made of the same material.

I'm curious as to what type of can you are trying to find a lid for, as I'm unfamiliar with a can of that size. I know of 3 pet food can diameters. A 3oz. can (such as Fancy Feast) is approx 2½" across; a tall(13oz?) and a 6.5oz can (rare) are approx. 3" across, and a 5.5oz can is a bit under 3½" across. These lids fit all of those. Any extra info (brand?) would help me know what you're looking for. The middle-size ring is a bit stiffer than the inner and outer sizes, but once it's been used a bit, it gets much easier to snap on. I use it for all 3 sized cans.

IME if you have cans too tall you can squeeze the sides and crush it a little with your hands enough so it will fit inside "The Crusher"

Are they aluminum cans ???? I think these can crushers are designed to crush only aluminum.. Metal cans can be quite stiff..

NO. The item is not able to hold any pressure within a beer can or a soda can. There is one out there that I have used that works as you want but it breaks easily and to often to even recommend it.

Maybe. It would take a big dog to knock it over. It's heavy and opens with a foot pedal. The compacting center piece is held with a magnet I think and won't come out of the can without pushing it down and opening the can. I bought another one for another place. Great can.

Hi Stephen,Yes, as you can see on the picture. But the can become entangled and the plastic frame is not stable enough then. The plastic frame drops .... in all components .... Apologies my english, but I am from Germany ..... and when I'm by a product here in the US ....... then I just a bit spoiled by the German quality ...:-) I have a super Can Crusher bought by the company Harbour Freight - cheaper ($ 9.99) almost anything made of metal - but only 6 Cans (Big Deal) - but much, much better......!!!!!!

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that. I think it is the same size as a dog food can and it fits that just fine.

Never tried it on tin or steel cans....only use it for aluminum. And because we don't eat a lot of canned processed foods, I don't have either to try it out. The handles are metal and the rest is hard plastic. Works great for us. Good luck.

It will crush somwhat taller cans but not say a tall monster can. It has additional room above a regular 12oz can.

Friskies canned cat food appears to be all aluminum, any suggestions how to crush them?

The crusher is pretty much perfect height for 12 ounce cans. I doubt if you will be able to fit a plastic bottle in the opening as they are generally quite a bit taller than an aluminum can.

Yes it will. We have crushed a 24 oz. can. With the press plate all the way to the top, it's about a 9" tall opening to slide the can in. The rest is just muscle.
