Reasons to keep it:
- base is weighted, so, even if you yank from a distance or with excessive force, it's less likely to tip over
- unlike the cheaper plastic models, it holds the extra large 'double rolls' (we use Bounty Double Rolls: Select-A-Size)
- the little 'arm' can help when you have 'raw meat cootie hands': if you need one sheet, gently pull one sheet until the perforation is past the arm then yank swiftly downward... very easy with one healthy hand
I can see where problems may arise:
If you purchase one-ply paper towels, the 'arm' may be too strong and will make it more difficult to achieve a clean tear.
If you pull a long strip of sheets, it is more difficult to tear off one-handed.
Using this product requires experience. You gotta know when to hold it... Know when to fold it... Know when NOT to give in to the instinct to put your dirty free hand on top of the towels while you rip down with the other hand.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
If you are willing to pay attention to the physics of this device, you will have a very sanitary method of paper towel dispensary.
As the chef de cuisine in my home, this is an indispensable kitchen tool for sticky hands. It is not perfect, but, unless crazed, you will not yank this off the counter at an inconvenient time.
Several things came to mind of what you need to look for in a paper towel holder
> Can it fit the size of rolls you use
> Is the base heavy enough so you can use it one handed
> Is the arm heavy enough so you can use it one handed
> Is the design cosmetically appealing
The answer to all of the above is yes for me. I saw this item featured on America's Test Kitchen (a show on PBS in America) and decided I would give it a try. It weighs slightly over 2 pounds, which is generally the magic number to have a sturdy paper towel holder, and the arm is actually helpful. You can tear off your paper towels so that you don't need two hands, and it can support the largest jumbo rolls you can find for it. Excellent product all and all.
The only complaint I can come up with (not a huge deal at all), is that sometimes, I get 2 sheets instead of 1 when trying to remove a paper towel. Granted these are the ones that allow you to select smaller sizes, but there is more wasted paper that way, or it requires that I use a second hand so I don't get both. Not a huge complaint, nor worth sending the product back for, but figured I make note of that.
