Ok I'm going to go in the
other direction to say I have
no use for the little guys as
those rolls fit nicely in my
drawer. The big industrial roll
on the other hand is an eyesore
in my kitchen. So, thanks to
Donna, I put in a request with
Western Plastics and they were
happy to sell me the 18"
unit, retail. It arrived today,
and I'm very pleased with
my new toy.
A few comments:
- First and foremost, it works
every bit as easily as the linked
video implies. The film is right
there to grab, you pull it out,
push down the top, nice neat
cut.
- Cost for the dispenser itself
was $38 + shipping.
- Tube size does not match the
typical Reynolds tube (pictured),
so you need to order wrap from
them. Their price per roll is
a few dollars cheaper than what
I pay at a restaurant supply,
so the savings helped offset
shipping cost. You have to buy
the film in 'cases'
of two rolls each, but I figure
two 2000' rolls will make
this roughly a once-a-decade
event for me.
- The only negative I have on
the product itself so far is
that there is no way to lock
it in the closed position. My
picture is slightly deceptive
as I stuffed a straw to hold
it relatively shut. I plan to
find something that fits just
right to act as wedge when not
in use. Just an aesthetic thing.
The video shows what it looks
like normally.
- If you're interested in
buying one, you can contact
an extremely nice lady named
Ruth at (800) 442-9727 ext 113
or rsolis@wplastics.com. She's
likely sick of me by now, but
regardless tell her 'foodonastump'
referred you. She'll know
who you mean and won't charge
you extra for mentioning me.
