Tools and Hardware Reviews of Household Essentials 2028 Pop-Up Hamper in Natural Canvas with Zipper Lid
Customer Review: I own SEVEN, because they work extremely well.
Summary: 5 Stars
Two daughters and a wife can get through an astounding amount of laundry, hence the need for many, large, reliable hampers.
Having tried many different cheap brands of the mesh variety (the handles of which always broke in short order) these sturdy canvas ones are the clear winners. They look good, the handles never break (after three years of constant use), and they hold a tremendous amount of clothes. This last point is also a minor flaw: when fully loaded they are almost too heavy for my wife to carry, or so she claims---is this just her cunning scheme to get me to do all the laundry???
As noted by a less positive reviewer, it has indeed happened (to 2 out of 7 hampers) that with extended use the metal spring has worn through the canvas, the sharp end protruding dangerously. However, a few minutes with needle and thread have re-enveloped this spring within the canvas, and the repair has now lasted more than a year. Yes, this should not have happened in the first place, but these hampers are nevertheless so far superior to others that I cannot bring myself to lower my evaluation to 4 stars.
But if anyone from the Whitney company scans these Amazon reviews, please fix this problem!
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: great!
Summary: 5 Stars
these are great! they hold a lot more than my old hampers, and seem very sturdy. the do collapse with weight (ie a mis-aimed shirt or a cat attempting to walk on the rim), but no problems. A great deal. They are also a bit wider than advertised if I remember correctly, at 17.5 inches across and almost 22 inches tall, but I managed to stuff them into my alotted space.Customer Review: great for the college kid
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter hauls her laundry home from college each weekend for me to wash. Why am I still doing her laundry? That is a whole 'nother issue we won't go into here... This basket is great. Sturdy, good capacity, easily folds flat for storage, zip cover to keep out the rain going to and from the car. Could only love it more if it came with a maid...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.
