Stretch-tite WrapN Snap 7500 Dispenser

This product is the same as one we bought several years ago; however, this one does not operate as smoothly as the first one. It does not cut the film as smoothly as our previous one. This may just be a one-off issue.

I 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.

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!

It works like one would expect. You just drop in the roll of plastic wrap. It threads very easily. When you need the wrap, release the lid; pull the plastic wrap; shut the lid and push the lid down like a stapler; the wrap is cut very cleanly. You dont have to pull up and out. You just pull out horizontally. The dispenser has wide feet to make it stable. The wrap doesnt cling to the inner surfaces. Why cant everything be designed this well? Now, lets see how long it lasts. I have not tried this with aluminum foil yet. I dont use foil that much. It might be worth it for parchment paper.

Its Expensive but well worth it ?When you use your snap&Wrap it seals every thing really tight .

This 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.

...Ive spent the last 35 or 40 years of my life cussing every brand of plastic wrap Ive ever used. Cant tell you how many hours of my life Ive wasted trying to unfold/unstick/unwad wrap after tearing it off using the cutter thats built into the box. And even worse, having to take the roll OUT of the box and patiently search for & free the end when it disappears back into the box. I found this gadget on Amazon and ordered one, and the recommended Stretch-Tite wrap. All I can say is I wish I had this thing 30 years ago. It does what it says, and does it WELL. The wrap is cut cleanly, there is no folding over or wadding up, and the wrap does NOT slip back down inside the dispenser the way it can with the cardboard boxes. You just gently press down on the lid and its cut. That simple. One thing I really like is you can use the heel of your hand to push the lid down and make the cut - this is great when you are wrapping up say raw chicken pieces to put in the freezer, since you never have to touch the machine with your chicken-juice-covered fingers. Doing this with the cardboard-box dispensers, Id have to stop & wash my hands before tearing off the next piece of wrap so I wouldnt get chicken juice all over the box. Believe me, thats a time-saver. What can I say, this gadget impressed me so much I ordered 2 more to give as gifts! If you hate trying to untangle plastic wrap this is exactly what you need. People have asked if brands of wrap other than Stretch-Tite will work - Im going to post an answer to that in the Questions section for this product. Check that answer to see if your wrap brand will fit.

This makes using saran wrap so much easier! I wish I would have had this years ago! Much less problem with the saran wrap sticking together, actually it rarely does with this. I can not stress how great this is!!!

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.

NO MORE FIGHTING WITH PLASTIC WRAPS. The WrapN Snap is fast, convenient, mega easy. Does the job and no wasting wrap. This dispenser has sat on my counter for a couple of years now and I use it every day. Best dispenser I ever used AND best wrap on the market. You could have it in a drawer, but I find it more convenient to keep it right there on the counter where I use it all the time. Its a neutral color. Looks fine and gives you the right amount of wrap; cutting it cleanly and EASILY AND SAFELY. No more fighting with wrap in a flimsy box and that RAZOR sharp serrated cutting strip they all have. I did think the price for this could be lower, but I think it has paid for itself in saving me time, effort, aggravation, and not wasting wrap. I would absolutely buy it again. (And the Stretch Tite wrap itself is THE best, hands down. But that I purchased separately.)
