Great paper towel holder
Color: Silver
It was simple to put together. It holds my biggest paper towel roll with no issues. No complaints. Glad I purchased it.

would be five stars, but it makes a weird clicking sound as you pull a sheet to dispense
Color: Silver
After researching tons of these, and actually owning some of them in the past, I landed on this brand. i’m hoping it stands the test of time. In times past, the arm broke from the other heavy duty paper towel holders I bought (I think I’m on my fourth one right now. It’s pretty sad.). This one seems pretty stable. I like the suction cups on the bottom, although sometimes it makes it difficult to move and clean around it because it really has a good grab on my granite countertop. The one thing that I’m not a fan of is a clicky kind of sound when you pull a sheet to tear off. It’s a little bit annoying and kinda loud. If there were superior paper towel holders without the clicking sound I most definitely would purchase, but the other ones seem to be junk. Crossing fingers this one works. I’ll just have to ignore that clicking sound. It’s just how that propeller-like mechanism works that the paper towel itself slides onto.

I love it
Color: White
It has taken a few weeks to get use to- learning how to pull it and when so the paper towels come off right. The suction cups are amazing. If you need to release it- I just slide a butter know gently und them and it un suctions. Hopefully it lasts a long time.
