Review on Effortless Tear Technology: Kamenstein Perfect Tear Patented Wall Mount Paper Towel Holder, 14-Inch, Silver with Rounded Finial by Gary Hall

Good well made product. So far this is working fine. Relatively easy to mount on the wall. I was going to install it under the kitchen cabinet, but since the cabinet has 1/2 ledge around it (the bottom of the cabinet is 1/2 higher than the edge of the cabinet) I couldn't install it there because of the mega towel rolls that we use does not slide over the device because of this edge. A smaller role will probably suffice. So I installed it on the wall behind and under my closet. And the reason this review has 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't work either. Again, this will only be a problem with mega rolls of paper towels. The towels do fit between the roll and the small mounting plate (where you screw the device to the wall), but JUST barely. HOWEVER, this mounting plate is slightly off-center on the roller. This means that when the mega roll is full, the thickest part of the roll will be directly under the mounting plate. why do you care This means that the thickest part of the roll TOUCHES THE WALL until the first 10-20 sheets have been removed. This will make it harder to pull the sheets down, but you can do it. My issue is that during the first part of using a full roll, over time this friction will strip the paint off the wall in a small stripe (1-2 inches) where the towel roll touches the wall. Adding another 1/2 inch or better 1 inch clearance between the roller and the mounting plate would solve both of my problems (wall friction and no work under my closet). There are more Megarolls today than there were 4 years ago. When some users (in 2013 and 2014) reported that megarolls worked well, they weren't using reels as big as they are today. I hope that the manufacturer recognizes these issues and adjusts the product dimensions accordingly.
