Great concept but could use some updates and not great value for money price sucks for what it is... Could you say in the feet to screw in some plywood that would help the surface area of the squishing we could also use a longer arm down into the can it is adjustable but both heights are not very far, you have to wait till the can is very full to use it

Was planning on using but you have to remove it each time…don’t like

Today, we're diving into the wild world of yard work and waste management with the latest and greatest: the Hand-Held Manual Trash Compactor for my good ol’ outdoor wheeled 96-gallon trash can! Now, if you’re like me, the thought of dealing with trash might invoke a classic “out of sight, out of mind” mentality. But when you’ve got more bags than a certain office supply chain, it’s time to roll up those sleeves—and maybe flex a muscle or two!This little gem comes with a hook tool that you attach to the lid of your trash can (convenient, right?). You press down, and technically, you feel like a superhero for about 2 seconds—until you realize that superhero strength requires a bit more than the power of will and wishful thinking. Let me tell you, this isn’t a “set it and forget it” kinda deal. Nope! You’re gonna need some serious muscle to work this bad boy. Think of it as the perfect excuse to skip leg day and do “trash compactor day” instead!Now, I don’t want to oversell this contraption. It doesn’t compact like a freight train or some sci-fi gadget from the future, but it does manage to squish down just enough trash so you can squeeze in another trash bag. Every little bit counts, right? It’s like the trash can version of playing Tetris—all about finding the right angles and making the most of what you’ve got. You might even find yourself questioning the number of pizza boxes and empty chip bags you can actually fit in there. Spoiler: It’s a lot!And don’t worry, your trash can won’t be breaking any speed records as you attempt to crush a mountain of garden debris and leftover takeout containers. Instead, you’ll discover a new rhythm: push, grunt, squish, repeat. It’s surprisingly cathartic. Who needs a gym membership when you have a full day’s worth of battling wayward rubbish? You’ll have a trash can so compact that it’ll be the envy of the neighborhood!So, in conclusion, if you’re looking to take your trash game to the next level and get a mini workout in while you’re at it, pick up this hand-held manual trash compactor. You may not feel like a superhero, but hey, you’ll get pretty close (and your trash can will thank you)! Just make sure to have a cold drink nearby because you’re going to need to hydrate after fighting the good fight in the battle against the bulging garbage bag. Happy compacting!Note: I had to smudge out my "trash" in the photos in order to meet Amazon Guidelines but hopefully you can still get an idea of how it looks in the bin :)

My husband used it for the first time and he tried to pull down on the bar and the bar started to bend

Works well

This manual trash compactor is pretty useful for managing garbage and recycling. It was easy to assemble, and I got it up and running quickly.For regular trash, it works smoothly and helps compact things down easily. Recycling is a little trickier, especially with boxes or items that take up more space. I found that laying a box flat across the top before compacting helps make better use of the surface area.The compacting arm isn’t super long, so it doesn’t create a ton of extra room, but it’s definitely enough to get the lid closed when the bin is full. Sometimes, you can even squeeze in an extra bag, which is nice for extending the time between taking out the trash.

Works great huge help!
