does have problems with the paper towel unraveling?

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.

No. It has a lip around the edge so that the paper towel roll does not unravel. It works great! And it is heavy enough that it doesn't tip over when you're trying to rip a paper towel off. It really is the best paper towel holder I have ever had.

I find this dispenser easy to use, and have no problems at all with towels unraveling.

There are raised sides on the base of the holder which help keep the towels in place.

Hi Christie, sorry to hate on this product, but I sent mine back. You couldn't get the paper towel on without crushing the ends; and it was too tight so that the towel roll couldn't really roll freely enough for the towels to tear off properly. I'd suggest this one: Prodyne M-913 Stainless Steel Under Cabinet Paper Towel Holder which I got from Amazon too. The screws holes on the Prodyne are 6" apart. I think the screw holes on the other one are about that as well, maybe slightly closer together. Good luck!

I've had it for little over a year (1 yr and 3 months). It no longer cuts any towels (Costco, Bounty, Scotts, generic). The blade gets stuck. I try to push it back and it sometimes works, however, it no longer works.

No, but it is easy to tear one sheet off. This is a very good paper towel holder.

I have had my towel for a short amount of time and it hasn't fallen apart yet.

It hasn't happened to me yet, however I never clean the thing with anything more than a paper towel. The Teflon does a pretty great job.

Mine is just fine... just as good as new. I use it everyday to dry towels, and LOVE it. Most likely you overloaded it. Although is is sturdy, it does have a low weight load limit.

mine hasn't I rarely wash it in water or the dishwasher I clean it with a paper towel right after using it.

I personally can't compare it to the older version, but would say during my use over a weekend at the beach where it got wet and had some sunny time and shady time on the laundry line it had a lot of potential to stink but never really did. I washed the towels pretty quickly when we got home as well. Just take care of it! I machine wash on a gentler cycle and then have done the dryer with no heat (dries quickly with a small load) and it's holding up well so far.

The rod easily lifts out of both sides of the holder making replacement simple. Once the paper towels are in the holder, the rod and towels are held down by gravity alone. The way it is designed this is enough to keep it in place until the roll is finished. There is nothing complicated about the design, as with most good ideas, it is simple and user friendly.

I had no problems with paper towels but a paper shredder is a better and faster option for newsprint. The grinding teeth are widely spaced and would likely get bogged down with newspaper. I do shred paper from sticks of butter, napkins and dryer sheets.

It hasn't been a problem so far. When I wash it I remove it from the dryer as soon as it is dry and fold it carefully to minimize wrinkles. Hanging it soon after drying is the best bet. We have not yet had to iron it as wrinkles have not been a problem. But I can imagine a shoot in which that could be a problem in which case one might have to iron it.

I haven't had any problems either. Turn it upside down on your dish drainer to make sure it dries thoroughly.

I found that if you put the towel in so that most parts of it are touching the sides of the warmer that helps with getting it warmer. Mine quit and I am returning it and they are sending me a new one. They emailed me a shipping label and I dropped it at a UPS center. Wasn't too big of a hassle. I was lucky I saved the boxes. Hope this helps!

I wish I did. That honestly sounds like a mechanical issue, have you had any paper jams, and if so are you sure all the junk paper is cleaned out? Just a random thought. I haven't had any noise issues with mine.

I have heard a few complaints about this. The ones that I ordered didn't seem to have that problem. Perhaps the dishwasher would help after a few washes.

I have unbuttoned it and cleaned it with a wet rag and soap then line dried it seemed to be ok. Would not recommend putting it in wash machine the bottom is made of plywood but I do love it
