Review on Maximize Pantry Efficiency with Auledio Stackable Beverage Can Dispenser Rack – Black (2 Pack) by Lisa Ellis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great racks, poor quality control (6 of 8 dispensers / 3 of 4 2 packs bought as good)

Conclusion: I ordered 4 packs and received 3 good and 1 bad. I have enough hands to get a bad rack working, so I've decided not to request a replacement for a bad one. Based on other reviews and experiences with similar products from China, I wasn't the only one with a set where they gave me three right pieces and one left piece. Given the design of the product, this doesn't work, but I'm smart enough to figure it out for now. The problem is that the back brace is a tube welded to the inside of each end. So unless you have two on each side, the tube will stick out, not the inside, so you'll have to zip it up. or glue the support part and treat the protruding pipe. I decided to cut the tube, put it on the mount how it should be and then glue it in place. It works and if I want to fix it in the future I can just add some thumbtacks. (That's how it's connected, so it's easy to remove.) There are tabs on the bottom that should fit the bottom rack, but I just placed the faulty unit on the bottom. The problem is solved. The other 7 dispenser sections I had (a total of 8 out of the 4 2-packs I ordered) matched very well. I had to pull them in a few places to get them perfectly lined up, but they are well secured and sturdy. They work great on my wire shelves, the legs fit into the holes making them even sturdier than they would otherwise be. (They have rubber feet which are probably very good at preventing the shelves from shifting too much when you put the jars in.) I use mine for vegetable jars. Standard 15 ounce cans work great and the rack holds ten of them (as shown in the pictures). There's room on the sides as they're designed to fit larger 12-ounce soda cans. Larger jars like pineapple chunks are too wide to fit through the back wall. Smaller jars (like condensed milk cans, which are shorter) work well but can easily fail. Looking at the old reviews it seems like things have changed. The posts I received used Phillips head screws, not socket head screws. Also, they sell two packs (top and bottom, total capacity of 24 soda cans or 20 veg cans) and not four packs (or two packs of two) as some others have pointed out. For the price and functionality of these racks. delivered to my door, I am happy with my purchase. EDIT: I ended up just using duct tape (dark so it's less visible) instead of cutting off a piece of tubing. When loading the racks, I noticed that there was a defect in another package, but that can also be accepted. The top of the rail has support tubes (which connect to the side panels) on the TOP of the rail so I have to push the cans onto them to make them fall. Photos of each defect are attached. Another example of the overly widespread quality control of foreign goods. No change in my rating or attitude towards the product, just additional advice on what to look out for.

Cons
