Tools and Hardware Reviews of Household Essentials 2028 Pop-Up Hamper in Natural Canvas with Zipper Lid
Customer Review: Not bad.. But one spot thread giving away
Summary: 4 Stars
First i thought this would be a Little taller. But it's not bad. Some stitching is giving away from around the top ring. The hamper has these spring loaded rings that make it collapsible. I guess there all built like this. And the fabric on this would get dirty faster i think then one of those mesh types. All and all not bad just need to get out a needle and thread.Customer Review: Not tough enough...
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved the size and style of this hamper, however it did not last long at all before the bottom wire popped out and protruded through the side. I ended up buying a nice sturdy Rubbermaid type hamper which has lasted 5 times as long, showing no wear and tear, and I got it on sale for about the same price. I guess my advice would be to hang on to your money and keep and eye out for a good deal on something better!Customer Review: So good I ordered a replacement after my dog tore the first one up
Summary: 5 Stars
So I kind of can't believe I'm leaving a review for a laundry hamper. Whatever, this thing is awesome. I bought one several months ago and on the first day I had it my dog ripped off the top canvas cover and one of the straps. And yet it still managed to handle all of my laundry at about 3 week intervals. I never counted the actual garments in there, but like I said it can hold three weeks' worth of clothes, and the most I ever stuffed in there was 22 pounds worth. And it handled this with ONE STRAP. The strap did end up snapping at some point but I just knotted them together and it was good to go. Ghetto I know.
Unfortunately it met its demise when I left a muddy towel at the bottom for a bit too long. Some moldy looking stuff formed on the canvas bottom but didn't seem to affect my clothes at all. That's my bad though. Don't leave criminally dirty things to sit for a month, and you won't have that problem. Prior to this the hamper was always nice and clean.
K so you know the basics of this. It has the volume and strength to handle a single dude's laundry needs for three full weeks. Some people have mentioned that if you toss in a piece of clothing and miss it will collapse...that completely depends on the article of clothing and how you throw it. T-shirts, underwear, and socks will just hang off the side, maybe making it lean a little bit. Jeans tossed in a high arc will in fact make it collapse. That is easily remedied by walking three steps and nudging the garment inside, and then the hamper returns to its proud stature with a resounding WHOOOSH sound*
I can't comment on the compactness because I never use it. I just have the hamper set up in a corner of my room and dump my clothes into it. But when you compress it down and secure it with the very sturdy button mechanism, it's about the size of a pizza tin. So anywhere in your house you could store a pizza tin you could store this thing.
So yeah when I had to eventually toss this, I immediately went on Amazon and ordered another one to replace it. Got it in today and it's in the corner doing its duty. Highly recommended. Mesh-style bags are flimsy and tear too easily in my experience, and plastic hampers are just unwieldy. Give this one a go, and your grumbling-laundry-day self will thank you for it.
* note - no actual WHOOOSH sound
Customer Review: Solution for the single guy
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first Amazon review, but I had to give a shout-out on this clever and well-made item. I'm a single guy in a high-rise condo and I do my wash only when I run out of clothes. These pop-up hampers are the perfect solution. They fully collapse to an inch in height when not in use and expand to hold quite a lot of towels and underwear. The spring loading is just right, so that it maintains it's expanded height, yet it's very easy to re-compress when not in use. The cotton canvas is good quality, as are the zipper and handles. I bought 2 to try them out, which at $26 total makes them eligible for free shipping. Right now I'm putting in an order for a few more.Customer Review: The perfect laundry hamper
Summary: 5 Stars
This laundry hamper is reliable, (reasonably) easy to carry, can be closed up if need be, and can be compressed down to a circle for storage or transportation. It's especially well-suited to closet use. I would find be hard-pressed to devise a more recommendable laundry storage and carrying device.
