Helps a lot with our followers. But there is room for improvement. The reel seat is very simple and can fall apart. This can be fixed with DYI, but for the money I would expect something better. The roll holder has only one spring on one side and exerts pressure on the paper roll on the other side. On the other hand, there is only one plastic part. Eventually it gets stuck and you have to use both hands to get the paper towels out.
