Stretch-tite WrapN Snap 7500 Dispenser

It took me a while to acquired this item (it was in my shopping list forever) but totally regret why it took me so long to purchase it. Now I cant live without it....a highly recommended kitchen tool. Just buy it, you wont regret it.

Wrapping leftovers! We

Maybe its just me but I have to work too hard to make it work. I saw a famous TV chef use it & it looked so easy but not sturdy or easy to keep in place then one must pull out the sheet of film then give the top a little slam (I tried a soft close of the top but that didnt work for me) to cut the film. I keep using it because it was a little pricey and I keep thinking its just me.

My counter space is very limited and since this item claimed to have a mounting option I was hoping to mount it to a wall. Unfortunately, it does not function in that configuration. My guess is the mounting holes are intended to mount to the counter surface. There should also be some type of warning or statement that once the stabilizers are securely in, they are secured. They are not coming back out without breaking something. Once I realized I could not mount it, I put the stabilizers on to see if I could find a counter or shelf home for it but nothing worked. So I figured I would just keep the dispenser in the drawer that I keep the wraps in. It was too big with the stabilizers and I could not get them off! Therefore, Im returning.

The reason for 3 stars instead of 5 is that this new dispenser doesn’t guillotine cut the plastic wrap as sharply as my older one.

It is so easy to use! You no longer have to fight with the cling wrap in trying to wrap something. You just pull out what you need, place the item over or under the wrap, and close the lid to cut the wrap.

Nearly perfectly. Heres how it works. You lift the lid and trigger two buttons, one on each end. That frees the insert. You insert your roll of plastic wrap and pull the loose end out and back over the lid. Replace the insert. Now, the tail end of the plastic is running between two pieces of plastic. Those pieces have three curved cutouts at both ends and the middle. This allows you, after cutting, to pull the end out to the desired length. To cut, bring the lid down all the way. It doesnt feel like much happened, but when you let the lid up, the plastic is cut cleanly. The new roll end is again caught between the plastic pieces and ready for you to pull another. If you were to pick the loaded dispenser up and shake it, its possible to bounce the roll around enough to pull the end back into the body of the machine, in which case, you just open the insert and reload. No big deal. Im kind of stunned. I really didnt expect this kind of slick operation. If it matters, I have been using 100-foot Saran wrap in it. I see no reason for it to work any differently with other brands. The lid that you lift to grab the roll end sits about halfway ajar, but there is a simple one-hand twist latch that can hold it closed to keep it from crumb-catching if you like. I feels substantial and well made and will likely last long enough to be well worth the price. As related in other reviews, it probably wont take very large rolls. It comes with some soft rubber shoes, one for each side, that gives it considerable traction on a counter. But on my slick stainless counter or on top of my no-fingerprint enameled bread box, its barely heavy enough to sit still reliably when you pull a length. Thats not really too big a deal. It pretty well takes two hands, one to pull and one to push the lid down to cut, so you have a hand on the dispenser anyway. Im going to rig mine with a sheet magnet glued to the bottom to stick to my steel counter or steel breadbox. Of course, no problem if its attached with screws. The instructions specifically say that it wont work with foil. I suspect, though, that it may well work with parchment or wax paper. I bake all our bread, and I frequently need to pull a foot of wrap to cover a bowl during proofing. I intensely dislike fiddling with a plastic wrap box and the inadequate cutting edge provided. Plus, the box falls apart before I finish the roll. No more of that. As I said, IT WORKS!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product! I have spent endless hours unraveling plastic wrap, which just caused a lot of frustration until I saw this recommended by Americas Test Kitchen and also saw the Barefoot Contessa using it but was hesitant to get and worried it would be too big to fit in my drawer but it fits in my drawer perfectly without any problem and I wish I would have gotten this sooner. This is money extremely well spent. Just recently, prior to this purchase, I spent over 30 minutes trying to untangle the wrap and have my 19 year old son and his friend help as well with no success either. That is what made me get this product and so glad I did! I will be buying many more to give as Christmas presents to relatives!

This product is just plain great. I did not realize just how much fumbling I experienced using the film manufacturers boxes. This item made all the problems go away. My only reservation is the design of the top retaining lever. It is very thin and I fear it will stress fracture with time. Time will tell.

I’d give the wrap’n snap 6 stars if I could. Makes food prep a joy and helps avoid waisted plastic wrap. Planning to buy more as gifts in the future. Thanks to Ina Garten for the inspiration to buy this.
