will it crush more than one 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......!!!!!!

The carrier / feed system will hold more than one can but the unit will only crush one can at a time.

Have not had 1 gallon cans but I would say no. Compactor crushes at your strength. The more strength you apply the more it will crush.

It holds 10 cans. But as the others have said, if a can is partially crushed it will affect how it works.

Unit is designed to crush only 12 oz. aluminum cans.I believe 5.5 oz. cat food cans are steel and not suitable for any consumer grade can crusher.

No, it will not crush the tall cans. It will only crush the small cans. But it didn't even hold up a week crushing the small cans.

yes the container even with two bins is large enough to handle that plus much more. Check the height and width along with depth and you will have the answer and then some.

No, I don't think it will. I do a few oz at a time and in 2 or 3 times, it gets a half lb ground.

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.

If it is not stuffed to the point that the lid is buckled, even a TINY bit or it is not simply OVERLOADED with WEIGHT, yes, in my observation, it will. I haven't been able to get one, too heavy, yet. They are approx. 2/3 size of green ammo, so the weight is greatly reduced. I liked enough to buy 8 of them, twice

I have only used this crusher for aluminum cans so I can't honestly answer this question. However I will say that I am VERY happy with the performance on aluminum cans. I've found that deforming the can slightly (with a small well-timed push of the finger on the side) makes the job much easier, so I would expect similar results with soup or vegetable cans. It may not work well crushing the can in perfect form, but even a small indentation on the side would probably allow it to crush those cans as well.

My smaller toighbox can so I would def say the larger one would as well. These things are amazingly tough

No. Do not try it, it was not designed for this. Only use it on aluminum cans and plastic soda or water bottles. If you try to crush a steel can with itit will bend or break, probably break. It works great for what is was designed for.

It will crush 16oz cans as well but they don't fit in the hopper so you have to load it strait in. It's fine for an occasional 16oz or odd shaped (skinny) can but if you have predominantly 16oz cans I wouldn't recommend this crusher.

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.

I pushed two of mine together and still needed an inch. They sit on legs, so if one hung over it would not be level. Although it might work, it would be diffult to get cans out. I wouldn't take the chance.

What were you crushing when it broke? The can crusher is designed to crush ALUMINUM soda cans if it you used it outside of the purpose it was designed for you may have voided your warranty. Mine has handled the crushing of thousands of aluminum soda cans since I bought it with no problem whatsoever. About the only thing you can do is contact either Amazon or Pacific Precision Metals @ http://www.pacificpm.com/contact-us/.
