SMARTAKE Paper Towel Holder, Paper Towel Dispenser Standing Weighted Base Non Slip, Spring Arm for Easy Tear, Stainless Steel Paper Towel Holder for Home Kitchen Countertop Tabletop, Silver

I like this paper towel holder, I wanted a cabinet or wall mount one but the way my new kitchen is configured it wouldn’t look great in any spots I picked so I went with a table/counter top one however this one is great! Made out of a very nice strong steel, looks nice, works as expected and the suction cups on the bottom make it that much better allowing for easy use and without the holder falling over.

I was hesitant to purchase this given the mixed reviews but I’m really happy I did. The color is perfect- it’s not too bright or shiny. It holds my paper towels well and I have no problem using it with a full roll or an almost finished roll- the spring does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s very sturdy, easy to clean, and the suctions at the bottom do a good job of keeping the holder in place.

I did not give this a 5 star rating only because it does not accommodate the larger Brawny paper towel rolls you get at Costco. It is super tight and takes both hands to turn the roll until you use a portion of it. I do like that is has suctions cups to hold it down and the spring loaded arm does keep the paper towels from unraveling. However, the spring loaded arm no longer puts any pressure on the towels when you get to about the last quarter of the roll. All in all, it is better than not having that arm to keep the towels from unraveling.

Great value for the price, as it is sturdy and does the job. Stays put on the counter when you pull a paper towel due to the small suction cups underneath the base.

I like this paper towel holder because it is sturdy, adjustable, hold my towels nicely, and also stays on the counter while not being so sticky that it’s hard to move if you want to move it. I like the simple design. At first, I was afraid that, the sidebar that holds the paper towel in couldn’t be adjusted. But I find that it is bendable and retains its strength after being bent. I’m very happy with this purchase

This paper towel holder is nice but the spring arm only works when the roll is full. As the roll-size gets smaller, even a little, the spring arm doesn't press against it. I didn't see anything in the instructions about how to adjust it. I asked the company for assistance in adjusting the arm and did not get a reply. The arm is supposed to be a unique feature for this product so I am not feeling great about purchasing this over a single-stem holder, of which there are tons of choices — some sturdier and nicer than this one for less money. The videos for the product focused on its stylish look, colors and one-handed dispensing. This review can help to balance that with awareness of a functional flaw.

Broke within a day

I never thought that the design of something so mundane, such as a paper towel roll holder, could cause such pain.It is not heavy enough to stay in place during the first half of the paper towel roll, so you need two hands. One with which to hold down the entire contraption, and the other to pull. It would be more effective to just have a standing roll of paper towels that you pull from as you need, because during that first half of the roll physics has you beat. The force of friction between the roll and the bottom of the stand is greater than the entire weight of the cheap, punched-out tin roof stand. It's more of a stand made of foil that will follow the roll wherever you pull it.The spring portion is not designed to work once the second half of the paper towel roll has come around. After the roll gets small enough the spring simply won't provide enough compression in an even enough way to allow for one-hand use, which is why I bought this.Again, it would be easier and more efficient to just have a free standing roll of paper towels where ever you planned to put this, because it is a two-handed operation to cleanly get a paper towel off this thing. I had better luck with my old, simpler stand which is made of WOOD, cheap wood, and still significantly heavier. Simply making a heavier product would make this usable, although I suppose you get what you get at this price point. I can almost guarantee that whoever designed this contraption, does not use paper towels themselves. It's as if an alien saw a paper towel holder and designed something that could pass visually, but once you test it on its ability to function as a paper towel holder, you'll see it came from Mars. Steer clear.

Very well made and sturdy

The holder is wobbly and does not hold well. The stopper is wobbly and does not hold the paper towel in place

Très bon support pour retenir le rouleau en place

Bought for the colour, it doesn’t work as well as the right up. Once the paper towel gets to s certain point and the ball doesn’t touch it the paper doesn’t tear well.

It is a good solid paper holder with suction cups.
