Has anyone tried the select a size paper towels on this? Do they tear just fine?

I have tried regular size paper towels, shop towels and the half size towels and each tears perfectly. I absolutely love this product.

They tear fine for us Joe - it's actually the type of roll we have on there now, however, I'd suggest looking at a different dispenser. This one is more of a hassle than anything!

It's pefect... That's one of the things I loved about it, I use select a size .. Less wasted paper and it works like a dream for me

Yes I have. Any size ripped off just fine. My problem was after 3 weeks, the clicking sensor no longer works and they would not rip off nice.

I think any tri-fold towel will work. I've tried all three tri-fold towels sold at CostCo (different plys, sizes and number of towels for each type) and they all work fine. FWIW, I've spent far too much time analyzing all three towels CostCo sells and found that it generally takes TWO towels to dry my hands, no matter which one I buy, so now I buy the one that has the best price per towel.

I don't know about paper towels but Microfiber cloths are very inexpensive.

Yes. No problem. I just rolled one up and tried it. I normally use the thick bath towels from Costco on mine.

I think they are fantastic. My husband never gives me credit for much, but he really likes these. We just bought a new car so he is washing it all the time. He likes how he can wring the water out when drying and it still soaks up more. He said to get rid of all the old towels we were using. I have used on the house windows. I agree.....no more rags.

Yes, mine also quickly ripped so I purchased 3 of them from Hoover.com. I think I paid $15.00 for them...

Yes Kevin! I've been using them since December 13 and I've washed my car, and sometimes my wife's SUV, every single weekend with fail. And thus far the towels still look and work great....like new. Although I might add that it's probably because I only use these towels for the body of the vehicle...ie I use different towels (old beat-up & 100% cotton) my rims & tires.

Yes. I like them very well. A great deal for the money. One reason that towels lose their absorbency, is due to fabric softener, which coats the towels and they are no longer absorbent. If you stay away from the fabric softener, they will last a long time.

Well.....pretty much. Sometimes the jumbo rolls are malformed a little bit and drag as you try and pull off the first few sheets. So honestly the jumbo rolls can hang up a little bit initially, but the quality of the towel holder makes it worth the little hassle. The only towels we buy are Costco brand jumbo rolls, and it handles those perfectly, aside from the initial few towels dragging a little bit. Also, make sure the holes at the ends of the tubes are fairly round and don't get crushed when installing the towels. We got the tricks down really quickly and love this towel holder. Hope that helps. Well.....pretty much. Sometimes the jumbo rolls are malformed a little bit and drag as you try and pull off the first few sheets.

What a great idea! They towels should hold up in the water. I sometimes wet them and use to wipe down bathroom sink area. They don't shred or fall apart but then I don't leave them sitting in water, either. They are nice and large, when unfolded.

I have not had any trouble. This is very sturdy and easy to fold out and put away. I have only had 3 big towels on each side at a time. If you balance the weight on each side I would say you can do more and it would hold it. With heavy towels it works good if you put some on each side. If you only have 2 or 3 it will not matter to much.

I have no trouble with my paper towels rolling loose. The roll seems to fit pretty snugly between the ends. I agree with the measurements from first person who replied.

I've washed mine over 10 times and they are still in very nice condition. They are thick, soft and absorbent. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of these towels for the price. I would recommend them without hesitation.

I have accidentally used dryer sheets with the cloths a few times, and they seemed fine. I think they perform best when air dried though.

We are using the Costco Paper towels - it is very large- it fits well and we never had any problem with the blade. All our friends are impressed!

I haven't had tearing issues. I have had mine about 9 months and I still love it :) going to bed is a comfy experience!
