Tools and Hardware Reviews of simplehuman Wall Mount Grocery Bag Holder, Brushed Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Sleek, Sylish and Very Easy to Install
Summary: 5 Stars
I have 3 of these and have used them for almost 5 years. They are a nice contemporary design and hold quite a few bags, which go into the holder nicely. Installation was very easy. I used both the screw and adhesive strips and my holders are as sturdy 5 years later as they were when I put them up. My family, including a very athletic teen boy, stuff these holders to capacity and put a lot of pressure on them when doing so and they are absolutely steadfast! I owned the white plastic ones before and was not nearly as pleased. With a simple, stainless steel and black design, these tend to go well with almost any decor! They also fit very well in my pantry's side wall because they are sleek and do not protrude out much at all...however as mentioned above, they still are able to hold quite a few bags! I have another one in my master bedroom closet, which adjoins the master bathroom, to hold refill bags for my bathroom's trash can. The 3rd one is on a garage wall above where I keep my kitty litter box, which I find is a great way to store bags for removing litter clumps in a simple way! I use a hercules hook to hang the bag that is being used for litter waste until there is enough waste to move to my outdoor trash can. So aside from being nice-looking, you can place these boogers almost anywhere you might need a plastic bag!Customer Review: Great item
Summary: 5 Stars
I truly like the suggestion from one reviewer, who says his wife instead uses old tissue boxes to hold their clutter of plastic bags. This item is almost exactly that, but a bit more elegant for the kitchen, and with more room for the bags as well as a convenient stuffing hole at the top. I also agree that it is a bit pricey for what it is, but admit that for it's look, construction, and functionality I would expect to pay exactly the $10 that it costs (it is pricier in stores and other websites than at Amazon.com). For the reviewers who's only complaint is that it is impossible to pull just one bag from this dispenser, I suggest the ritual I learned from my father (an engineer - the man has a practical ritual for everything). First, check the plastic bag for holes - no use keeping one that has holes, as they're easily recyclable at any grocery store. Then take the bag in one hand at the bottom of the bag and grip it in your fist. Wrap the bag around your fist like an ace bandage, letting any air out of the top as you wrap. Voila, the bag is not a wadded mess, but rather neatly wadded like, say, a sock. Stuff each bag in the hole this way, and they will easily pull out without tangling with other contained bags.Customer Review: Absolutely perfect

With this simple holder you'll never be stuck whenever you need a grocery bag to hand quickly. In the past I used a cardboard box to hold extra plastic bags on our mud room floor which took up much needed space and looked messy. So after shopping around I settled on the simplehuman holder because of the design and the nice brushed steel case.
Upon arrival I had the holder up on the wall in minutes, choosing to use dry wall anchors and screws (supplied) as well as utilizing the sticky back - so it's absolutely locked tight onto the dry wall. I took the advice from another reviewer as to how it should be filled effectively and took the air out of each grocery bag then wrapped it around my hand to make a coil. Then I simply shoved them all into the top. Not once has more than one bag come out when pulled on and it holds around 50 bags with ease.
Great, attractive solution that's easy to mount and should fit anywhere in your kitchen or mud room.
Customer Review: Good looking and very funcional
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this a couple of weeks ago and have been very pleased with it so far. The adhesive strips seem quite sufficient to hold it in place on the inside cupboard door where I mounted it. The cabinet space under the sink where the plastic grocery bags used to be in a pile is now delightfully uncluttered. I highly recommend this kind of simple organizational tool.
UPDATE: After having this for a while I'm still pleased with the concept, but the sticky strips failed pretty quickly. I drilled a couple holes into the inside of my kitchen cabinet and then found that the screw heads are really a bit too small to keep the bag holder securely in place. A trip to the hardware store and two big washers later the whole unit is securely in place. The manufacturers should provide more appropriate hardware (either screws with bigger heads or washers). I like the look of it, but it took more work than it should have to get it installed properly.
Customer Review: Great organizer and looks good too!

This has been wonderful. My husband reuses grocery store bags to take his lunch to work in. We originally put them into a used popcorn tin but he hates fumbling for them in the morning and tends to leave them on the counter which to me is unsightly! We also reuse them for our small trash cans in the rooms and bathroom, I store extra bags in the bottom of those containers but the difficult part was finding a place for them in the kitchen for hubby. This can mount to a smooth surface with the sticky strips on the back, just peel and stick, we have textured walls with semi gloss paint in the kitchen so I used the two screws to install instead of the stick strips, was easy to install and the screws are included with it. Looks very nice on the wall, not unsightly like some of the bag holders, and matches our stainless steal sink. I love it and recommend to others.
