I want to put standard cans under this, has anyone used it for cans?

I just checked mine and cans JUST fit under it, there's just enough room to place and remove them but only millimetres extra space.

I have not, but I just went and checked. You can put standard size cans under it and they fit just fine. Large cans are too tall, but things like soup cans, etc. fit fine underneath the shelf.

I checked as well. I agree with ChowHound that standard cans (14.5 oz contents) should fit fine. My shows a height "clearance" of just under 5 inches. I would not necessarily recommend putting a lot of heavy items on the shelf though - you may want simple store boxed goods, packaged pasta, or packaged soup mixes on the shelf itself. It seems sturdy but I just don't know if it would eventually bow due to excessive weight.

I did, the run has nothing underneath it though. I got a piece of scrap laminate and slid it under so the couldn't ruin my floor. Also it does take up a bit of room so check the measurements and check your available space :)

It was my experience that it would not open ANY cans. It is however tall so if you could manage to get it working you could probably fit large like one gallon costco type cans under it.

The wires are adjustable, so you can use it for different lengths of cans. The wires actually just slide across, so you put it where you want. I have different sizes of cans and it's not a problem.

Yes it does but the cans do not fit on the racks correctly and they do not dump all the way. : (

Hey! Did not know, so I went to the pantry and got several cans (soup, Diced Tomato, Cranberries etc.) ALL seems to work perfectly. As long as the can is no longer than a REGULAR 12oz soda can, it works. For Example, Beer cans work, but not COORS LIGHT cans. They are just a 'smidge' taller and won't fit. Hope this helps. I REALLY like racks a LOT.

I don't see how you can put foam in it. You wouldn't have a way to keep the foam under pressure and it would dry out anyway. And it does not look exactly like the picture on Amazon. The Amazon pic is the old can. I got the newer, more metallic looking can when I ordered.

No it barley fits cans. so bottles won't fit. I wouldn't even try to put plastic bottles into it

Yes, I have plastic bins under it. Thin ones as the clearance is not too high

I would say yes, as it holds regular size cans. These are great for cupboards. Cans/jars don't slide off and make it possible to see pantry items at a glance. I highly recommend.

Yes, we use all different size cans with no problem. The cover swings down and out of the way. We like it.

No problems at all, and I use it exclusively for cans. I love this thing! It has freed up so much space in my pantry, and nothing gets "lost" in the dark recesses like before.

If the wires of your wire shelves are laid out left to right the racks will work very well because the bottoms of the sides of the rack are solid front to back. If your shelves have wires front to back, you would have to put some kind of a base under the racks to make them stand up the way they are supposed to for the cans to gravity feed.

I have no problems with reg size veg. cans. It works great. I wish my cupboard was wide enough for 2 of them side by side. I stack the cans on top of each other 3 high and this really makes my cans organized and very easy to find what I want. If you use this like I do you will be very happy

Yes but just make sure the dimensions are right for where you are planning to put this rack, I didn't and know I end up placing the rack some where else and not the original intention! I like that you can adjust the rack to fit the length of the cans you need to organize, works well with soda cans as well!

Ours snapped together pretty easily, but from other reviews it seems like you should apply quite a bit of force. One review suggested putting the can on the floor and applying pressure while standing above it. The same review said that simplehuman suggesting putting the lid on at a 45 degree angle. Good luck!

No, this is not an option with this can. They sell similarly shaped cans with lids, though. The purpose of this can is to always stand open. I use it as my laundry hamper. It is perfect. Holds a standard laundry bag under the lid. I wan another for my kitchen, it is very heavy duty and heavy, won't get knocked over or dinged easily, I can tell you that....
