Is there video of this crushing plastic bottles and cans? None of the other crushers claim to crush bottles.

I finally tried acetone in these bottles, unfortunately the acetone destroyed the components in the trigger rendering that bottle unserviceable. If you find a solution for acetone I would be interested in knowing what you came up with Gerry Ganser

I had the exact same problem with mine! After two years of use I started noticing black plastic just like you... when I examined the bottom chute where the ice comes out I noticed the plastic chute seeming to split in the middle. I took off the top screws and examined the insides but could not see anything wrong... I assume the pieces are coming from the plastic starting to split. I ended up getting a new unit ... from what I have read in other reviews this thing has a limited shelf life and will break after a year or so... Since I love crushed ice in my drinks I just ended up getting another one because there seems to be no others on the market that can do a better job... the ' pro ' model should be all metal if you ask me and use no plastic at all... maybe they will make a better unit by the time my current one breaks...

I just bought this too. Got it at Canadian Tire. Vapors came out at first then after about 20 minutes no vapors then we found it leaking. Dried it out and we will be returning it over the weekend. This items sucks. Thinking that all bottle humidifiers will do the same thing so I will be purchasing another beaker one from pureguardian. They are are my Walmart for $29.99. I already have one and it works really well so I will picking up a second one for my daughter's room.

I would not recommend this blender. If you're wanting it to crush ice it will destroy the blades. There is no warranty. I had this less than one year and the manufacturer would not replace it. I went back to my old Osterizer.

Yes, this will crush 32 oz cans. I have crushed many 32 oz cans with this crusher. Just make sure to keep the vertical rails lubricated with some WD-40 before each use.

I have never seen a brew kit in which the grains were not crushed. I would say that they were crushed in this kit as well.

I am sure the vitamix can crush anything! It has a very sharp and powerful blade.any vitamix should work. Ours crush ice evenly! I use it to make baby food too!

We have been using ours for many months with 5 gallon plastic bottles. No problems whatever. It seems quite strong.

No, basically, your strength is what does the crushing. there is a piece of the lid you push down to compact what you have in there, so, unless you have the strength to do it it can't be done. I don't have the strength. With boxes such as cracker or snack boxes, you have to break it down flat before you put it n there to save. Have to use your own strength to crush.

I imagine with the plastic ends it will work fine. Currently I've been using the hammer with metal ends to break ice within plastic bottles on virtually a daily basis, works fine with no issues.

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.

Hi, pretty new @ bottle cutting, only did wine bottles. try web site for g2 cutter, they might say. friend in Seattle having excellent results w/wine bottles. don't blame g2 cutter if they don't seperate rite away. I'm still practicing, ( but have limited supply of bottles to work with). her's are cutting perfectly, only losing 1 or 2 out of 30. Her hint is..... sml blow torch over score line, then extremely cold water (using tons of ice). good luck, Betty

Yes. I have a pill slicer/crusher that I bought at a health food store, and have been able to crush these.

HI Santoyo ! The person who responded first, already said basically what I was about to recommend ! Even suggesting the video ! No point in repeating !! The only thing I can imagine that might lead you to damage the bottle and not just the cork, as the cork issue happens to me, is that the cork is of a very hard type and is very stuck in there, as it HAS happened to me, but not to the point of damage !! ........... CHERERS my friend and mull this over a nice Cab !!
