Does anyone know if this will crush the taller 12 oz. cans? (i.e., Michelob Ultra, MG64)

You just have to do a little "pre-crush" first. Smash it down a little then put it in.

I doubt it. I have not attempted but I have attempted to crush RedBull cans which are a little taller than standard cans and it does not fit. if I slightly crunch it by hand to make it an appropriate height it works though. You just have to make sure not to crush it too much or the pressure of the can crusher won't hold it in place to finish crushing it. Sounds complicated, in actuality isn't really, just a slight hassle.

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

Yes, but it will be a little large for the cans. Still it is the size we use as there is nothing smaller that is tall enough. Hope that helps.

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

It's really sized for your typical 12 oz beverage can. Work wonders with those but I think you would be disappointed try to crush anything much taller.

I have not tested it out. Beer cans are lighter than vegetable cans, I imagine they wouldn't bow the racks as much.

I've opened family sized cans of ravioli/beefaroni just fine. gallon or larger sized cans I've not tried. This is the most durable/tuffest can opener I've encountered so I see no reason why it shouldn't work. If in doubt and can opener breaks a good blow torch or electric bandsaw will get er done! Little pun there.

The one that I purchased does not but there is another like it that will crush that size can.

Normally yes, but since Im determined to prove to you and world that this is the best can crusher made today I will send you a replacement. Please don't attempt to crush aluminum bottles. Only thin walled aluminum cans. Just contact me with your info.

I have the 32oz one. I assume the 64oz is the same, just taller. The inside of the airscape is metal, but the piece you push down to remove the air is plastic. So if you wanted, you could leave a gap so that the coffee doesn't touch the plastic, but I think that would leave more oxygen, which would defeat the purpose of the airscape to some degree.

I wouldn't trust it not to bend even for ordinary cans. Mine bent on the very first use opening a Berkley & Jenson can of chicken. And it did not open the can. I had to resort to another opener. Perhaps that's alittle heavier than a can of Campbell's soup... but not much.

When crushing each can,you have to exert several pounds of upward force. My ram is mounted to a 4x4. If it wasn't mounted, I wouldn't be crushing anything!(BTW, what is the metric equivalent of pounds?)

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.

I have not tried it on a 32 oz, but it does work on the 28 oz. I love it! I have had other electric can openers and always get rid of them. This one is just so effortless.

I haven't used it for 32 ounce cans but according to the description it does work for them.

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.
