Trash Krusher

Did I see this right? $100 for a trashcan that you have to"compact" the trash yourself?? How about using a paper towel on your existing trash can to push down the garbage? For $100 it should crush the trash and take it to the curb.

I have one of those....It's called my hand...It's handy (get it) and I never to have go looking for it....it does a good job and it came with the rest of my body.

It cost my Father a lot of money (body included) but it was free to me.

I think I'll keep my trash krusher and QVC and keep their's.

I didn't see that product, but it wouldn't matter. I'm old school regarding garbage, so if it's garbage I shouldn't have to spend big money on it.

I'm sure that why 10 years ago when I sold my house and moved into an apartment, I was horrified when I went to BBB and they didn't have even an ordinary covered trash can for less than $129. Yeah, I know I was going to get 20% off, but no way was I paying over 100 for a trash can. KMart used to be next door, so I wnt there and found the perfect can for my small apartment - as I remember it cost $15, but it's low-teach and has no issues. It even cleans to bright white still!

I thought it was electric and watched the demo and said to myself what a waste of money, but my garbage provides 1 trashcan (on wheels) & 1 recycle can (if they break we just call them & they will replace it. You can order more cans but pay more per month. I can understand if someone has a large family and trying just to fill their 1 garbage can per week so they don't have to purchase another garbage can for trash pick up. Maybe large families could benefit with this product.

I saw the presentation and really all I could say was this is a dumb idea that cost 99 dollars. Come on QVC.

I thought it was great for my daughter who doesn't break down cartons and such before piling in the garbage until I realized it wasn't "automatic". If she doesn't do it now, she won't do it with a $100 manual "press" one either!! UGH. no way!! If it was electric I'd have considered it at that price.

I thought that was a silly product

we recycle everything so trash for 3 people in the family is usually 2 or grocery bags a pickup

I like the idea and don't think it's expensive. I bought one the same size for way more to get the stainless steel that is easier to clean and doesn't absorb odors like the cheap plastic ones do - even with a garbage bag inside it. A neighbor has one similar that has a handle on the side that slides down and does the same thing and it's great since you don't have stick your hand inside the garbage can but they don't work with a garbage bag inside and I would never put garbage in an unlined can. I just close the bag and put a foot on top of it to crush it down then open it up for more.

Well it looks like a nice garbage can, but I have one of those horrible ones you plug in.

I watched part of that presentation and I just couldn't believe it. First of all the plunger part was too small. Secondly, how about just a piece of cardboard - push that down and do a much better job.

There was just not one single reason to buy that! I paid much less for my kitchen can and it does the stuff it does on its own - open the door, close the door. I push stuff down all the time and it's really quite easy.
