Customer Reviews

Looks nice, but "spring-loaded arm" is useless...
While this is an attractive looking paper-towel holder, it isn't very functional. At first glance, it looks like it should work as implied: 'spring-loaded arm puts pressure on paper towel roll, regardless of how many towels are on that roll at the time, allowing you to easily rip off a single sheet with one hand'. Unfortunately, this model doesn't work that way...at least, not the one I received.

I started with a partial roll, and it was obvious this wouldn't work, so I put in an extra-large roll of top quality (very thick roll) paper towels, and still, they don't come close to reaching the spring-loaded arm.

This arm is no more effective at preventing a number of sheets from pulling off the roll than the old wooden one I had with no arm at all. I'm very disappointed. Before deciding on this model, I had viewed some very similar models that were higher in price...maybe this is a case of "you get what you pay for".

If you are looking for a paper towel holder that looks nice, and are not concerned about "function"...it may be worth the price. If you are looking for one that looks nice AND can offer you an easy one-sheet-at-a-time-with-one-hand quick pull, I suggest you look for a different model. This unit won't do that job.

The paper towel holder is great, although doesn't quite stand up straight. A slight lean to one side is not detrimental, but I tend to try to straighten it every time I walk in the kitchen.

TOWEL HOLDER
This is the best towel holder I have ever bought. I have at least two friends that are buying the same one after seeing mine.
