Customer Reviews

Waste of money
Things that are bad about this product:
1. It's hard to tear the towels. It requires you to tear the towels from bottom up...very awkward...especially if you have dishes and plates on the table.
2. The gripper is not strong enough resulting in you pulling out more towels and snagging the towels in the gripper. You then have to manually fix it. This happens alot.
3. Takes a long time for a sheet to come out. First, the unit retracts the paper, then it slides it out out sheet. Often, it doesn't measure it right and you have to manually fix it. Defeats the purpose of this unit which is to save you work.
4. The hand sensor is wacky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I end up feeling foolishing waving my hand all over the places trying to get it to see me.

Overall, this is a waste of money and time. I'm definitely sending this one back.

Easy to use. Hygine
At first, I didn't think it would be necessary to have a automatic dispenser at home. Now that I have been using it for a week. I and my kids love it. It is great when I'm cooking so that my dirty hands will only touch the dispensed sheet. The rotating speed of the dispenser is about 3 seconds per sheet. So I don't feel I have to wait for a towel when I need one. The dispenser actually finds the perforation lines on the towel and graps the towel roll to stop unraveling. I can get one sheet, two sheets precisely. I will buy and test the 1/2 sheet paper towel later this week. The sensor is located in the middle of the dispenser. I like the feature that the sensor range is adjustable. So I can move the dispenser from my tight kitchen to living room when I have guests. Just make sure you check the correct size paper towel roll. Not all paper towel would work with the system. Customer service told me 80% paper towel size on the market can fit the dispenser.
I would recommend this dispenser.

Simply doesn't work
I was really excited to find this product on the web so I bought one with the power adapter. As soon as the item arrived, though, the disappointment started. It always dispensed too much towel no matter it was set to half or full size. For the first sheet it went beyond for about an inch, and an additional inch for each sheet thereafter and quickly became unusable. I contacted the tech support but they didn't know how to tune/fix it so I returned the item for an exchange. The new replacement came after about 2 weeks and did EXAXTLY the same. I'm confused to see some reviewers actually "enjoyed" the thing ... maybe some units actually dispense the towel accurately? For me it has been a total waste of time and I'm returning this one for a refund.
