How difficult is it to put the roll of paper towels on and off the roller? Mine will be placed on the side of my clothes dryer, in a cramped space.

It loads from the back. So, you can either put it forward enough to fit the roll from the back or just pull it off the dryer each time you load and unload (which would take all of two seconds).

Easy to replace rolls but magnets aren't strong and holder slides down from weight and use.

paper goes on very easy. magnetic holder can be removed and then paper put on, if you have a cramped space.

Mine was a pain to begin with also. I took the wooden dowel (paper holder) and pounded it repeatedly on the counter (not to break though) until a spring seemed to release. I've used it many months now, and each time it gets easier. It seems to be the end spring that fits into the hole in the holder that is too tight. Work with it....it is a pretty paper towel holder.

I'm not sure which part of the table you are talking about. If it is the side of the table - like on the outside of where the drawer is located...a paper towel roll dispenser would fit there but probably not attach easily. A paper towel roll can lay on the shelves comfortably but I'm not sure it would be very convenient there.

Yes! I have pretty large bath towels, i fold them in half twice and roll them and they fit great, u may have to squeeze a little to get them in without causing the one above/below to rotate. I use hand towels on the top 2 Racks, although only the top one is meant for small towels which stinks. Thats the only thing i would change about it. Super easy to get the towels back out though. Just make sure you screw it to the wall really well

The larger rolls of towels (we usually use Costco brand) are a very tight fit, and difficult to pull until the roll is partially used. We bought this for the church kitchen, and it was difficult for people to put the roll on without crushing the ends of the center tube, which also made it hard to pull. After less than a year, we gave up and bought another design.

I feel like it would still be ok. The only place it gets stuck in my place is by my washer/ dryer area where there is a little lip upon entrance. I keep a wooden block there when I let it run and it avoids that one small area. I love this thing!!

The dryer would be better hung. It is not heavy enough if you give the hose a tug.

I can fit a "regular" roll of towels. I have not tried to fit a "big" roll because I don't buy these jumbo rolls. There is no "spring" mechanism. The vertical bars that hold the roll is flexible enough to pull wide enough to insert your roll. I mount the dispenser under my kitchen cabinet, not against a wall that's why the holder part sits vertically and not horizontally as pictured.

I'm right-handed so I hold the nozzle of the dryer in my left hand and grab the handle and fold it in towards the dryer. You have to use a little pressure to fold it. I was worried at first that I would break it but I've had mine for two years and it's fine. I also bought two as Christmas gifts and they are working fine also. Don't be afraid to use a little force. Having said that, I hope it doesn't break. :) I really don't think it will. I see that one answer says it has a button, it snaps back up. I think that one may be referring to the cord. Hope this helps.

If you use 1 hand, the paper towels will not tear easily. It will not continue to unravel because of the rubber edge around the bottom, but a few will pull out.

when you pull for a new towel the roller will click much like a recliner lever. the roller will not completely stop with each pull but will not spin like regular towel holder. we have 3 in our house. we have given these as gifts.

My wife has experienced this recently also. Not only trys to take two sheets off, but comes loose from the roller when using on carpet. Possibly the rolls had gotten stored in a hot area and heat changed the stickiness of the paper on the roll? To try to save sheets, she has found that rolling the roller in the opposite direction tends to keep the sheet attached to the roller instead of working loose, direction will depend on which direction your seam is running.

This was meant for really thin budget motel use I think. I did mount it and found that large towels have to be triple folded (each long side folded to the middle) then fold about 1/3 of the bottom upward and insert into lowest rack while folding the top 1/3 and push it into the next slot up. In other words it take 4 slots for two large towels. You can do the same with hand towels (will hold 2), then fold your wash cloths in half and place them sideways on the 2 top openings. A pretty sorry set up but following these directions will give you a nice setup. I would not buy it if I had it to do all over again. You other alternative is send it back to Amazon because it is not as advertized. This was meant for really thin budget motel use I think.

Well, yes you could, but be aware that the towels will swing out to the left. The roll slides on, so you could place the whole thing with that end up. There are no magnets to hold it on the bottom, see picture. So if you put it upwards, it'll not be as stable.

I cut the paper as close to the size of the drawer or shelf as possible. Then I rolled it backwards from the way it came off the roll to take out the roll memory and get it to lay pretty flat. Once in and I put the items back into the drawer or shelf, the weight of the items tends to keep the paper in place.

I agree with the other responses. It is loose and I considered fixing it but it has not posed an issue. I lay a folded towel in mine and it covers it up anyway.

The dryer works wonders, but if you don't have one you can hold it flat in front of you and bounce it on your lower arms for a bit. I usually do this after finding a 20lb cat has spent the day curled on it.
