simplehuman Wall Mount Grocery Bag Dispenser, Brushed Stainless Steel

I love Simplehuman products. This is the best grocery bag dispenser in my opinion and perfect for organization. Love the stainless steel as it matches my kitchen and appliances making it a classy look. It holds about 30 bags and very easy to mount. It fits very nicely in my pantry out of the way but conveniently located for easy access. Overall, a great product that can look stylish and very durable. Great price and I definitely would recommend this product.

I waited to do this review to be sure it was going to work as designed. It mounts easily to the wall and will hold about 50 bags of you stuff them good. They pull out with no issues and do not bring others with it. Well made and looks great. A great buy!

We keep our plastic grocery bags as they provide a sanitary way of disposing messy food and other smelly throw away waste. They come in handy to wrap, and then tie up these unpleasant messy or odorous items before tossing them in the waste or garbage bins. Originally, we used to keep a bag of these plastic bags, but when the bags got too full, this became an out of control messy area. I bought this particular Wall mount Bag Dispenser for my bird room. Since my pet birds are fed fresh food every day, I use the plastic grocery bags to throw away any leftovers from their dishes in the evening. I will not throw away the leftover food loose in a waste bin because it will both smell, and then there is a chance that it will also attract bugs and/or rodents. I also use these plastic bags, for each cage tray that I empty, I tie each up bag tightly before disposing of the contents, for the same reason; to seal off any smell and to prevent attracting flies or bugs. Therefore, I do go through an awful lot of plastic grocery bags. Previously, I had one of those cloth tube dispensers with the elastic top and bottom to fill and remove these plastic grocery bags, but they only hold about a dozen plastic bags and a year and half later the elastic stretched out of shape. The Simplehuman Wall Mount Bag dispenser can hold up to 32 plastic bags, which will last me a least a couple of weeks before needing a refill. I have attached the Wall Mount Bag Dispenser to the wall using their sticky adhesive tape, because I did not want to make any holes in the wall. It did hold up well, and was attached securely to the wall, staying perfectly in position, for the first 5 days, then it slipped off. It has since been reattached, and again it did not remain attached. I think that if the sticky tape was also applied down the length of the sides, the wall mount dispenser might have had a better chance to remain attached without the use of screws, which is what I plan to try next. However, the steel wall mount dispenser is an attractive, professional looking and a convenient one handed removal system to take each plastic bag as needed, without any disorganized mess. UPDATE: Oct. 28, 2014 I have applied a small amount of mounting tape on the back, along both sides of the dispenser. (The top part on one side and then the bottom part on the other side) and the wall mount dispenser has remained firmly attached to the wall for three weeks. It is still holding very well.

This is a very stylish and compact solution for storing plastic grocery bags. It is designed to hold up to 30 bags, by stuffing them into the round slot at the top. It might hold more, but I have not had the desire to count them. When needed, just grab onto a portion of a bag, showing in the long vertical opening and pull out. I like the classy styling, which makes it suitable for mounting anywhere, in plain sight since it has a brushed metal finish and black plastic sides. It is very substantial in its "build" and thus is very firm. I mounted mine on the inside of a pantry door, which also houses my kitchen trash can, and several rows of shelves for canned goods. It can be mounted in one of two ways....self adhesive strips on the back side, which are already in place, and which you only have to peel off the sticky liner protection and press the dispenser into place (which is what I did). The grip is extremely strong and will not come down without considerable effort and prying with a metal object. The other method is with wood screws for direct attachment to a wood surface such as a door or cabinet, or with wall anchors, for using the same screws to mount to a sheetrock wall. Great product. Simple. Functional. Attractive. Don't hesitate to purchase.

I've never been disappointed with the build quality of simplehuman products, and this bag dispenser is no exception. You may or may not, however, have to make some modifications for mounting this, depending on your anticipated use case(s) and expectations. We wanted a grocery bag holder in our entrance walk-in closet, so this was mounted onto drywall. With respect to capacity, YMMV depending on how you fold/roll bags up, as well as how thick your bags are. With a bit of effort, I can stuff 20 wadded-up Target bags in (relatively thick plastic). Naturally, the more this container is stuffed, the more force required to pull bags out, and subsequently, the more strain placed on the selected mounting solution. In the standard vertical orientation as shown by the manufacturer, stuffing bags in from the top imposes considerable downward stress, while pulling bags out generates quite a bit of lateral strain. I did not even try the tape, as I prefer more permanent solutions for things I plan to use often and for the long-term. In retrospect, an adhesive solution might have yielded equally satisfactory results with considerably less effort, but more on that later. It was immediately obvious that the screw mount would be problematic for various reasons. First, the included screws have head diameters barely larger than the plastic keyhole slots, so I grabbed some washers to ensure proper attachment, as well as to distribute force over a larger surface area. I additionally mounted this with screw anchors (not included). The latter are probably not necessary if you use this gently, but limiting capacity to a dozen or so bags seemed a bit silly vs. taking two minutes to insert plastic wall anchors. I also removed the tape so that the back would be as flush to the wall as possible. This is as far as most people will have to go for a very secure mount. I was satisfied with the install while stuffing bags in (downward force only), but realized that when pulling bags out (lateral force), the unit wobbled. This should have been obvious from the start-- it's exactly what one would expect with only two anchor points along a single plane (vertical). I don't think there would have been any long-term problems (due to the wall anchors + washers), but it was annoying. If you're the kind of person who is bothered by these kinds of details, know that adding anchor points to the corners of this unit involves a rather convoluted process (mainly due to the two top screws that connect the stainless steel front to the plastic back-- these screws are the only two that attach in the back) of taking the entire dispenser apart, drilling holes, partial assembly, mounting, partial disassembly (while mounted), and finally, full assembly. Or, you could flip this upside-down and insert bags through the middle while dispensing from the bottom and move on with your life. With three additional self-drilled mounting points (two on the top and bottom left side corners that experience the most lateral force due to our pulling left-->right + one on the opposite side near the middle), this is rock-solid. I admit it's entirely unnecessary to go to such extremes, and it wouldn't be fair to take off a star due to my personal preference. The star off reflects the fact that it seems impossible to simultaneously stuff 30 bags into the dispenser, mount it with the default options, and not encounter issues down the line. I could be wrong about the stock tape option, but that doesn't excuse the fact that the screw option should include washers (or screws with wider heads at the very least). If I were doing this again, I'd grab some industrial-strength double-sided mounting tape and call it a day.

I absolutely love Simplehuman products! This grocery bag dispenser is my favorite—it’s perfect for keeping things organized. The stainless steel design looks fantastic and matches my kitchen appliances, giving it a classy touch. It holds around 30 bags and is super easy to mount. I have it tucked away nicely in my pantry, but it's still super convenient to grab when I need it. Overall, it’s such a great product that’s both stylish and durable. Plus, the price is fantastic! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to stay organized!

It’s expected Simplehuman quality. Happy with the product.

Looks stylish.
