> 3 dayI’ve always liked stretch-tite wrap from Costco but hated the box and cutter which always seemed to fail at about 1/4 of the way through...grrrr! I ordered this in order to avoid just throwing out the majority of the unused roll. I like this unit but the plastic composition seems brittle. I feel the need to be careful using it so that I don’t break it but I can deal with it. My only real complaint is that there are no instructions for opening the unit. Many of the reviews mention getting cut while trying to load the roll. I googled instructions and found a YouTube video which helped me to get it open. I was surprised to find the instructions INSIDE the unit. I’d suggest to the mfr that they place the instructions in the box but outside of unit itself.

> 3 dayThe extra thickness helps with covering your bowls. This product is superior to others. After using for a couple of months, this is the only one I will use.

> 3 dayI grew tired of the cardboard box for the plastic wrap wearing out or wearing down halfway through the roll. We buy the two-packs at Costco, which is a great value. The cost of this container is really high, surprisingly enough, but my frustration with torn boxes and taping them up was also high. The box is sturdy and works great; the cutter is terrific. But, you need to include the little feet which makes it too big to then fit in the cabinet rack ... so we have to leave it on the counter. Its functional but certainly not attractive. And even if you can stow it away, the weight of the container and the roll of wrap makes it unwieldy to use in the same way you would the cardboard box. Bottom line, I like it for its function, dont think its worth the money being charged, and think the design could have been better.

> 3 dayI am very happy with this purchase! Ive been using Stretch-tite for years, but had no idea this dispenser existed, so the box would end up messed up when the roll was about 1/3 of the way used up. Annoying, to say the least. I would have to fix it with a tape, be very gentle when tearing the plastic, just no bueno! the dispenser changed it all - what a wonderfully well designed gadget! Now, one word of caution: when I first ordered the product, it came with a plastic already loaded and two pieces of plastic broken, shaking inside the dispenser. I asked to return it. No problems, got a new one two days later, no extra charge. When I opened the new package, it became clear that the one I got before contained a dispenser that had been used and returned by a customer, still with a roll inside. When you get the package, make sure the dispenser is encased in a fully sealed plastic wrap, and that a sheet with instructions in enclosed in the box. Both things were not the case for my first purchase.

> 3 dayThis is a great item and worth every penny. I have used Stretch-Tite film from Costco for many years and have always been a little frustrated with the packaging. Yes, it comes with a serrated edge on which to tear off a sheet and also a sliding cutter on a plastic rail that fits over the serrated edge, but it requires opening the box very carefully and feeding the leading edge of the film through a small slot. Yeah, it works, but if the lid gets a little torn or the box gets a little banged up in the cupboard, pulling out a new sheet gets very clumsy. Plus, you have to find and unscramble the leading edge of the film before getting another sheet. Not exactly a life-shattering experience, but annoying nonetheless. The Wrap N Snap 7500 Dispenser avoids all of that. Open the lid, drop in a roll of film, pull the leading edge out over the front of the dispenser, close the lid and DONE. For the next sheet, the leading edge of the film is held nice and straight inside the dispenser, just pull out what you need and close the lid. Nice, neat and clean. The dispenser has enough weight to it and little gripper feet in front so that it stays in place on the counter while in use. Set your dish in front of the dispenser, pull out enough film to cover it, close the lid and wrap. I love it when a device just does what it is supposed to do. Easily worth the price.

> 3 dayThis item does not work as well as the Wrap Master, however, you have no choice but to buy it if you want to purchase the larger rolls of Stretch-tite which do not fit in the Wrap Master. It is much less expensive to buy the larger rolls of Stretch-tite and this dispenser holds those rolls. The lid is not designed well and the place where you grip the plastic wrap is not easy to get at. It is to close to the lid. Because of the lid design, it does not cut as well for ME. It say for me, because I am 72 and I have arthritits very bad in my hands, so that may be a contributing factor. Younger people may not have a problem. With that being said, manufactures need to be aware that America is aging. The baby boomers are now retiring, and they are the largest generation ever, the generation coming after them is smaller. So, manufacturers need to be aware, we are the ones who have the time to cook the big family dinners on the holidays etc, and we are the ones who are using all the items that are suppose to make life easier. This device does not make life easier for me because of its poor design.
