sorry that it took so long to get back to your question.. I asked to see this happen so that I could state it as true.. Yes, it will crush 16oz. cans.. this is a great product. Used this at someone's camp and had to have it..

Yes, no problem. It will even do the large energy drink cans (I think they're 20oz+).

It crushes 12 0z. cans very nicely. If your 16 oz. is taller than 6 1/2" no.

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"

Not sure. Only crush 12 oz cans. Clearance inside crusher is 7 3/4" Don't have a 16 oz can to test (Sorry) If it does fit the instructions call for placing a small indentation in the side of the can. This helps it to crush easier. Love it for 12 oz cans.

Yes it will crush 16 ounce cans. It works best when you dent the front of the can just before you try to crush it. Works better that way!

I haven't been able to find a 32oz can to test this with. I've crushed 24 and 25 ounce cans with ease. As long as it will fit in the 9" "chamber" for lack of a better word. This crusher will crush it. It is quite robust. I'm glad I spent the extra money purchasing this product.

I believe it will. I have never had a problem opening any can once I got the knack of how to use it.

I tried it on a small cat food can today, it did crush it, but not completely flat. The can was aluminum.

I've only done 12 oz. I don't think the design will accommodate the 16 oz cans.

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.

The opening is 51/4 inches for 12 oz. cans.You'll just have to crush your 16oz. the old fashioned way with your feet!

Definitely would knock down beverage cans. Feels to me like the force equivalent of a whiffle ball.

On aluminum, yes. Not sure about other metal cans. Keep in mind it is made of plastic. Maximum size it will take is the normal 12.5 oz cans. It's not large enough to fit the 16oz beer cans or larger.

I haven't tried this on large cans, but I can see no reason why it should not perform admirably. I am really happy with this can opener. I, myself, purchased it for helping with the arthritis in my hands, but truly, it should have no problem with a large can.

It's designed for soda cans - 12 oz. and made of aluminum. 16 oz. cans are generally food cans (soups, beans, etc) made of heavier grade metal. They fit the crusher, but may be harder to crush.

large size cans - I've never tried it on a can that would be too heavy for me to hold up there.

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.

It is not designed for tin or steel cans. I bought it for aluminum cans and for the feature that it drops the cans right into a trash can under the crusher after crushing.

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.

No. In fact, I do not know of a hand-powered crusher that will handle steel cans like soup cans, veggie cans, etc. If you find one let us all know!

NO, there is no manual can crusher available to crush the thick walled aluminum bottles. The MasterCrush Aluminum Can Crusher is for standard drink cans and plastic drink bottles. It works great on the larger 24 oz cans and even a 32 oz can we found.
