Wrap'n Snap 7500 Dispenser, Easy Refill and Cutter for Plastic Wrap

I purchased this on a whim, without high expectations of anything more than a gadget. Well, I was wrong to think that. This dispenser is durable and is really helpful when pulling plastic wrap to cover a bowl, plate or platter. The cutting edge is sharp and cleanly severs plastic wrap without uneven tearing. It has holes on back to hang from the wall, but I haven’t mounted it yet. It sits on a shelf as I have not decided a height to commit to putting holes in my tiled backsplash. It is stable on the shelf, and doesn’t move when I pull the plastic wrap, so hanging it is a personal preference I think. Keep in mind that if you hang this, the area underneath/in front of the dispenser must be kept accessible if you want to bring food container to the dispenser. It also works if the dispenser is on the counter, but again, the area in front needs to be clear. Otherwise, just pulling plastic wrap and taking it to the food container defeats the purpose of this dispenser… might as well just keep the cardboard box in which the plastic wrap is sold. I’m happy I made this purchase, it works well for me.

All in all I am very happy with my purchase. In general, the dispenser certainly looks better than the cardboard box/dispenser that the plastic comes in, the cardboard box never stayed put when the wrap was pulled out and the end of the plastic was always falling back into the box. The dumb task of fishing out the end of the wrap finally made me decide to find a dispenser that was easier and cleaner to use.I debated for a time between this product and the Kenkut 3 Kenkut 3 Plastic Film and Foil Dispenser. I was looking for a plastic sheet dispenser that was of commercial quality, not too large, easy to use and would look good permanantly stationed on my kitchen counter top. I finally decided against the Kenkut 3 because of its size (20" x 8.5") thinking I would give up too much counter space. The Stretch-tite Wrap'N Snap (14" x 3.5") takes up less than 1/3 of the countertop area as the Kenkut (49 versus 170 square inches). This product is also less than half the price of the Kenkut 3.Another deciding factor was that I have for years used the Stretch-tite plastic wrap available from Costco in the 750 sq ft rolls. The plastic wrap is tough and clings well. The Stretch-tite rolls fit perfect into the Stretch-tite dispenser without any wasted space.Pros:Easy to clean.Looks good.Wrap is cut simply by depressing the cover of the dispenser with either your finger or the heel of your hand (if your fingers are soiled).The design is such that the next sheet of wrap can be pulled with your fingers without touching the dispenser.Stay-put feet can be removed and cleaned. As long as your counter top and the dispenser's feet are clean, the dispenser will stay put when pulling the wrap. I found that pulling the wrap at about a 45 to 60 degree angle to the counter top helps to keep the dispenser from moving or tipping. Pulling the wrap at a nearly parallel angle to the countertop invariably causes the dispenser to tip or slide.Cons:Loading the plastic into the dispenser, at first, seems confusing but once you understand the design it is easy and quick.I highly recommend this dispenser especially if you use Stretch-tite plastic wrap.

Anyone who has ever struggled with a box of plastic wrap should get this. Works perfectly and saves a lot of money over time, not having to purchase plastic wrap as often. First roll lasted me 8 months

The Problem: we buy stretch-tite wrap in the 750 square foot rolls which should last a long time in a two person household that works hard to avoid left overs but this results in the roll far outlasting the box it came in. Consequently much wrap gets wasted because of damaged carton that was a poor design in the first place.The Solution: the Wrap 'N Snap 7500 Dispenser stores and dispenses the roll. It keeps the roll from wrapping back on itself after cutting, provides three points to grab the wrap and make a clean cut with a press of the lid. Easy to keep clean, has a latching lid and store in about the same space as the cardboard box. Can be wall mounted (I didn't) and the feet are difficult to install--there will be excess rubber you will want to cut out before even trying--you'll know what I mean when you get it. The dispenser appears well made and durable but then again that crappy cardboard contraption did not set the bar very high. If it doesn't outlast the roll inside I will update the review and dock some stars.The Experience: over-wrap, under-wrap--it doesn't matter. Click the lid open, pull from the thumb-tabs and roll out what you need. Simple press of the lid cuts the wrap with it clinging to the edge of the dispenser until you pull it off. Easy to cover a plate or bowl. Equally easy to underwrap for a wellington or marinating loin. Minimal effort. Minimal waste. Maximum utility.P.S. I did not receive this product free or at a reduced price. I don't even know how you go about doing that.
