Find Best Price at Amazon"After some debating, we decided to buy a very thin piece of wood, glue it onto the cabinet with some kind of super strength epoxy, and then attach the paper towel holder to that. The wood was thin enough that it was not visible beneath the cabinet lip and thick enough that the screws did not stick through the cabinet. We buy the giant roll of bounty select-a-size paper towels and they fit on this with no problem."
"If you unscrew the main shaft you'll expose the ratcheting mechanism, which looks weaker for Chrome variant even to the naked eye, - without examination how it works.. Cheaper mechanism is inferior - it slips almost on every turn of the shaft, primarily because there's too much distance (axially) between the prongs and the chrome disc of the mounting bracket, so nothing forces the prongs to stay in line with the ratchet ring."
"Mine is an older model with a different knob on the end but I suspect with the same plastic ratchet mechanism inside that creates the tension to keep the paper towel roll from spinning freely when a sheet is torn off."
"However, we purchased this item to stop our cat from unravelling the roll onto the counter top (which she is theoretically not allowed on) and it wasn't up to that task as can be seen in the picture."
"We wanted something that was low-profile and kept the roll snug against our cabinet rather than hanging down quite a bit like other holders. After installing it, the holder was noticeably not level with the cabinet which didn't look that good."
"Funny how something as simple as a paper towel holder be so important, but when it doesn't work right, it's a constant source of frustration."
"I bought two others to place into apartments, that I work on but they are just sitting here. I just replaced it with the one with the bigger end and the new one works just fine..."

"The drying rack has made my life so much easier in my kitchen."
"Admittedly, this was heavier than I expected it to be, but it works amazingly."

There are 5 levels on the desktop to adjust to any angle you like and this really handy for painting because it's like a portable easel bring your travel pallet and paint supplies to the park or to the living room, really anyplace!"
"Exactly what I wanted for using in front of the TV, while I sit on the couch coloring, etc. The drawer is very small and not all that practical, but it'll hold several pens/pencils, eraser and a pencil sharpener, but this doesn't really concern me."
"I don't recommend this for an invalid with arm strength issues as the tray itself is really heavy and one needs some strength to move it off their lap."
"The drawer can hold small items, from pens, pencils, and knick knacks. I was worried at first that the item would be cheap, flimsy, and not well made, but I was proved wrong."
"I can fit my laptop and a notebook on it to take notes and do work. It's a bit bothersome to extend and collapse since it takes time. The small metal "hooks" that are meant to hold the legs in place don't really work."
"The service deserves a 5 but I can't in good conscience give 5 for the product at this point in time since it would have the same issues I mentioned in my initial review."
"It's a well made product, however, I find it to be very heavy and cumbersome. I wish they made one of these for left-handers and put the table part on the left side, but this is a right-handed world afterall."

"I have a deep, undivided farm sink and like to drain dishes over the sink rather than on the counter. Can’t do it because that’s where the sink spigot is (blocks the dish rack) so am using this on the side with the garbage disposer (where there is room for the extra length)."

"Definitely fits across the sink, can be used on the counter as well, and the silicone coating is thick enough I won't be concerned about putting a hot pot on top if needed."

"People receiving products free in exchange for an "honest" review are well and good (and apparently allowed by Amazon), but honest or not, you're not going to be as critical of something you received for free as you are of something you actually paid for with your hard earned money."
"Since it is plastic it will probably scratch and scuff pretty easily so you should probably be careful to not scratch it. If you are hanging something like a towel or a t-shirt there is another hook with a better design for holding things like that because it has more surface area. The suction power of the other hook works just as well as this one it just has a different design that will hold certain types of items more securely."
"These suctioned to my tile about a year ago and have not moved yet!"
"I have missed the return deadline (I bought it for my mother and by the time I got to her house to put it in, the deadline had passed...) so I guess it will go into the trash. While I couldn't get the product to work, the company is great!"
"I moved it to our fiberglass shower, which is smooth and clean and it fell down within 18 hours. I have some standard heavy duty rubber suction cup accessories in the same fiberglass shower which have held for over a month. This Hasko product is heavy and can damage the shower floors when it falls, so I do not recommend it."

"I have been looking for quiet a while for something to help keep the lids organized so they were not falling all over the place our out of the cabinet when i would open it, that is just so frustrating.. so when I seen this i just had to try it, and it really does the trick."
"Many racks had more like square dividers - our lids would not fit them."
"I get so aggravated by lids getting in the way while I'm bent down and reaching to the back of the cabinet to pull out a pot or pan."
"I have mine in the cabinet under the stove and due to space considerations, have to have it positioned from back to front, which makes it a bit awkward to remove a lid in the center, but that's a limitation of my space, not the product."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"A bottom row and top row of these with the shelf thickness of 1" was going to bring me just over 10" of height needed which would mean i would have had to raise the current shelf in my cabinet which I did not want to do."
"For the maximum width, you'll have two short and one wide extender on each side of the center piece. For maximum stability, I'd recommend that you have the set up be: end cap, short, short, wide, middle section, wide, short, short, end cap. This means that the short sections are supported by the cross sections. When you go to slide the now-extended center section into the cross pieces, you may discover that they don't slide easily in place. When I assembled the two layers, I put what was going to be the top layer on the counter with the top down; inserted four of the short supports; added the second layer; inserted the tall supports; and then added the cross piece supports."
"My cupboard was too wide, and not quite high enough, and I ended up using one shelf, and wasn't too thrilled."
"My spice cupboard was a mess."
"THESE are awesome; you just need to know how to use them .....it's kind of like an erector set, my cupboard was narrow (you know the one)next to your sinks, at first, I thought the set was way too wide to even fit in it, then I noticed OK actually my husband noticed it) you can remove an entire section from the rack itself (it takes a sturdy push)to release the pieces yet, they do come apart....Plus, you can use some of your existing cupboard pegs (the ones that hold your shelves up) if you want...I think the material is an awesome nice heavy duty plastic."
"Works great!"
"It fits against the wall of my spice cabinet snugly but I have found that I can not only put one regular sized spice bottle on the shelf but if I push the bottle back against the wall I can fit another in front of it."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Temperature: I poured hot tea in it and was so busy I didnt drink it at school all day. Just for fun one time I tested it by pouring boiling water in it then 2 min later putting the cap on. I even accidentally left milk and coffee go a little stinky in here once and after a regular wash there was no smell at all. Also I like that when you tilt it to drink you dont get a Niagara Falls size gush of liquid onto your face. UPDATE February 2015 (posted as a comment but moved here for visibility): Original video poster here! Ive taken it on lots of plane trips, shoved it in various luggages/bins to travel, really abused it as far as a thermos goes. I don't take the whole thing apart every time- just give the parts a soapy soak/wash every few times then air dry and reassemble."
"Similarly, when I half fill the container with ice, I still have ice in that water 24 hours later. The lid cover gasket and stopper set, which together replace the 3 rubber parts in each mug, cost over $16! Usually when a product costs this much to begin with, the manufacturer makes parts available at a reasonable cost, or gratis."
"These mugs both claim to be good travel mugs, and keep the liquids hot/cold for extraneous amounts of time. -Easy to break apart and clean. -Doesn't emit heat on outside to burn hands. -Securely locks the lid. -Top easily screws on. CONS: -Small mouth. -Difficult to clean inside. -Lid springs open, but spring isn't strong enough to keep lid open. Will discuss later. Now lets talk about the Thermos Nissan 16-Ounce Stainless Steel Backpack Bottle, Smoke Color: PROS: -Large mouth for easy sipping. -Keeps liquids hot for good periods of time. -Larger mouth allows for easier pouring of liquids inside it. -Larger inside allows for easier cleaning. -Easy grip shape, but a little more difficult to fit in cup holders. CONS: -Lid does not lock securely enough. The Zojirushi mug does the same thing, however they rely on a weaker spring to keep the lid open, and then there's a notch at the end which will "lock" the lid open if it goes far enough. Both mugs do not emit heat on the outside of the mug, you'd never be able to tell if there was hot substances inside unless you opened it up which is good, it means they both attempt to keep the best amount of heat inside. Where the Zojirushi shines is that you can disconnect the lid from the top of the mug and clean everything, but the Nissan/Thermos does not...or at least I haven't been able to figure it out easily."

"Overall I give them four out of five stars for the following: Pros. - Price. - the lids snap together. - no leaks. - you can freeze, microwave, and wash them in the dishwasher. - made in the usa. Cons. - you can't microwave the lid without it warping somewhat. - when dropped I have had edges break off. - they stain rather easily and I have had some of the actual containers melt/plastic bubble. They store food relatively well and despite a few flaws (that you'd expect with any set of plastic storage- if you don't want staining/occasional melting problems I would suggest paying the 3x more for a glass set) I've only had to throw out maybe three of them."
