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.
