Review on Dispenser Parchment Aluminum X16Vacuum Included by Candace Parker

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I must be missing something.

I don't know why this product has so many good reviews. I bought this product because of the crappy cardboard packaging I've noticed recently with both tinfoil and plastic packaging, or in the case of Chic plastic foil cardboard containers, a knife that keeps falling off due to bad glue, or a knife that kinda two breaks . After looking at these reviews I figured I could solve my problem with a hard plastic container with a built in cutter which hopefully doesn't go wrong. The only thing I didn't expect was that my regular size Reynolds aluminum foil winding cylinder would be too long for the spool that came with the winding case. The only way to get it working with the spool and wheels is to somehow pull the cardboard spool out of the tin foil roll, which is impossible. It seems to work except for the inner coil and wheels that come with the dispenser. I will keep this dispenser for myself but bought a second one for cling film. If it doesn't get noticeably better, I'll send it back. I also really like Chic's plastic packaging, but their cutters are terrible over time: they either break or keep falling off. I have a fairly full jar of Chic Wrap that I haven't been able to use, which is one of the reasons I ordered it, but I've noticed that you can buy Chic Wrap knives as spares, which is what I should have done in the beginning. I wish I knew that before I struggled with using fancy packaging and then throwing away cute boxes in good condition.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
