Why doesn't she show how it works instead of telling that they recycles the paper towels? lol

Probably because it is not 100% reliable. Had one of these for 7 yrs until it died of a broken spring. While the best we have ever had, it is still not perfected. Base could be heavier and spring tension needs to accurately vary with the diameter of the roll. Not to mention, the spring mechanism should not wear out so easily as we are a family of just two.

I have spent many hours, knowing there must be an answer, with my family laughing at me all the while at my half torn, useless attempts. BUT HERE IS THE ANSWER (one that works for me anyway !!!When tearing the towel, first take a hold at the very top of the roll where you can see where it's supposed to tear and pull straight DOWN from there. Don't pull left or right, just straight down with a confiddent yank

OOps I just posted the same question, lol. It's not here yet, maybe they deleted it. But yeah, I just wanted to see it WORKING!

In the video I can view as of May 30, 2015, it shows her tearing paper towels off the rod with one hand in addition to talking about the recycling tip from their testing process.

Infared I think. We would refill in the morning. I never really thought the length of time to use warm towels. You'll be able to send back if it's not what you want it works just fine

LOL. "Can"? Sure. Ours seems to have survived a wash well. Didn't have any instructions one way or the other. Don't you feel like running your own experiment?

no magic answer, however possible if you put some old rags in the collection thing would absorbe some sound. of course you would have to pic the rags out of the trash each time and put them back in. sounds like more work for not that much of a solution. also make sure it is lubricated well. otherwise i love this sweeeper

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 would think if you can get it in with a full paper towel you can compress it when it is empty and load a new roll.

Why would anyone want to re-use the solution? It's just water and a little detergent.

They are mixed together. I have thought about that myself since I recycle the paper. If you want to keep them separate you might try putting a tall kitchen garbage bag over the bin full of paper shreds without emptying bin. Or even a large piece of paper or cardboard covering the paper shreds would probably work. The card shredder doesn't make microshreds like paper, but as I remember cuts it in 4 strips so that it's unusable.

Being a 78 yr old grandma, I would say demonstrate on mom's hair so child can see and hear what happens. Then adult only use on low to dry child's hair. Towel dry as much as possible so minimum time needed w/dryer. My second dryer and I love it!

She must have gone ahead and bleached because I don't see where she came back to say, thank you. Lol! I hope you girls are here when I have a question! You're all very helpful.

It uses regular size rolls of bounty or Scott paper towels. It doesn't particularly like the select a size.

Someone is pulling your leg !!!!! I can't believe you would really think to pay that price. I've have used them for many yrs and they are GREAT !!!! No need to use paper towels( less for the trash ), just put them in the soap with the other dishes. When they get holes in them, throw them away. I use to buy them at WAl-Mart and Miles Kimble,they don't sell them anymore, so I get them here . You will enjoy them.

I agree Penny....this is VERY frustrating! They're not in the grocery store where I purchased the X-Large mop. They're not to be found on Amazon.....where????? Deborah

*grin* I used paper towels - changed frequently - just common sense in judging when to change.

In case anyone is interested, here's the link to Consumer Reports' review: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2014/03/detergentless-laundry-systems-struggle-in-consumer-reports-test/index.htm and a response from the vendor: http://media.nbcbayarea.com/documents/pureWash+CR+response+paper+4-23-14.pdf . I do wish Consumer Reports had "busted out the microscope" as my needs, to take care of a sick family member, require killing microorganisms far more than stain removal or saving money.

There is a very thick cardboard core. It's unfortunate that nowhere on the packaging does it mention whether the cardboard is made out of paper, or whether it was previously recycled.
