Kick-Ass Paper Towel Holder

I don't really use paper towels a whole lot.  Whenever possible I'll dip into my brimming towel and rag collection instead.  However, I have used a wide variety of paper towel holders in my day.  I've had apartments with cheap plastic ones, flimsy stainless steel ones, wooden counter-top (vertical) ones, and even none at all.


This was the one my current kitchen originally had:



Pretty pathetic, right?
Needless to say, the crappy plastic 'arms' broke on it, and we needed to replace it.

So, one day, while at one of my favourite stores to shop for cheap but decent low-end kitchen gear (are you listening PC?) I found a relatively uniquely-designed paper towel dispenser.

It looks almost like a paint roller cage.  Indeed, it has a 'cage' with which to hold and provide tension to the towel roll.

The thing is amazing.

Not only does it look super sleek, and have a low profile, but it is also very sturdy, and keeps the roll very firmly set.  It provides the exact right amount of tension - not too much to make it even slightly hard to pull, but also not too little to accidentally roll off more than you'd want.  

The single best thing about it, however, is the surprisingly satisfying ratcheting sound it makes when it turns.  A very subtle click of the rolling mechanism, soothing and offering special, strange, delight in turning.  The kind of delight a 3rd-person narrator might extol if I were in Amelié.

While I admit it's kinda weird praising a paper towel dispenser, this thing is truly, truly, truly outrageous!

  2. Stop for a minute and consider how commonly you run your dishwasher according to week. Our wager is it’s quite frequently, and that means you need to be considering a manner to smooth those dishes without introducing dangerous chemical compounds, consisting of phosphates, triclosan, chlorine, and ammonia, to the plate you devour off of. Finding a natural dishwasher detergent for hard water can take the time because you could have to check out exceptional brands for your gadget; however, the payoff of a more fit home and the usage of green products is well worth it.

  3. There are two fundamental sorts of juicers – high-pace Best Celery Juicers and occasional-pace juicers. High-pace juicers, which can be also called centrifugal juicers, unsurprisingly provide you with your juice a good deal quicker than low-pace juicers do.
