Stretch-tite WrapN Snap 7500 Dispenser

I have always had trouble with plastic wrap, Im left handed and felt that might have something to do with the wrestling match I endured.Tried every brand, the heavy verses the thin, and heavy was better, but not good. Now that Im a senior citizen with arthritis in my hands plastic wrap was a nightmare. Im back to finding new uses for plastic wrap now that it is a dream to use with WrapN Snap dispenser. It does take up more space and does not fit in the spot I kept the box type in. I have left it on the counter and this has worked out better. Im using it more. I had gotten into the habit of using zip lock bags for items that a quick wrap would do. An example is taking medication on the go. Plastic wrapped pills in the pocket is better than a qt. bag in the pocket. When packing for a trip I used plastic wrap instead of bags for many items like an extra pair of shoes that may soil clean clothing do well wrapped, takes up less room than air filled bags.

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 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.

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.

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.

long lasting

Ive been using this plastic wrap dispenser for about 3 months at the time of this review. It gets used daily and has held up beautifully to date. Ive always HATED using plastic cling wrap. If you make homemade bread two or three times a week like I do, you probably spend a great deal of time wrestling with plastic wrap and swearing all the while. This little gadget will fix that. It makes it so easy to keep the cling wrap from from folding over on itself until its completely unusable. Simply place the dispenser on the counter next to the container you need to cover, pull the wrap over the top and press down on the top of the dispenser to cut. Voila! Thats all there is to it! No more swearing! The same goes for wrapping loaves of bread; just pull some wrap out onto the counter, measure what you need to wrap the bread, press to cut, and the wrap stays flat on the counter! Easy peasy! And just when you think it couldnt get any better, it does! The product description says you have to buy some special, and Im sure expensive, cling wrap from the manufacturer. Not so. Ive refilled it several times with ordinary cling wrap from the grocery store and it works just fine. The longer rolls wont fit so you need to be mindful of that when youre shopping, but any brand will work with this handy device. I absolutely love this thing and highly recommend it!

One of the best things Ive purchased! You avoid waste (of plastic wrap) by putting your plate or container right to the dispenser wall, pull out the plastic wrap to the edge of the opposite side of your plate or container, flip down dispensers lid to cut the plastic wrap, and the plastic covers your plate without folds and fidgeting on your part to straighten the folds, then you just tuck in the plastic around the sides of your plate. Prior to owning this, I could not imagine whats the big deal! Why would I need a dispenser when the plastic wrap comes with its own zipper-like cutting edge. Well, the first time I used it, I knew right away the convenience! You really dont want to be fidgeting with plastic wrap; you want a straightforward, clean, easy process. You hardly handle the plastic wrap because it just folds down on your plate or container and all you have to do is tuck it in. Its so worth the price and the premium real estate it occupies on the kitchen counter! I also like the quality and weight of the Stretch-lite plastic wrap itself and how much of it is in there that you wont have to reload until maybe a year or two.

How many times have you fought with the plastic wrap while trying to put away leftovers? How frustrating has this been for most of us? VERY frustrating is my answer. Didnt you ever dream of a machine that would solve the plastic wrap problems-ALL OF THEM? DREAM NO MORE! This has got to be one of, if not the best, non-powered kitchen appliances I have ever seen. Actually, this fits the description of MACHINE perfectly: an apparatus using or applying mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task. Whoever designed this product realized that something that needs to function in a specific way need not be complicated, nor does it need to be expensive. Add to this an instruction sheet that was so simple, even a caveman can do it. Took me the best part of 5 minutes to put my roll of Stretch-tite in the housing, set it up and begin dispensing. It took me this long because I ignored the most important instruction-the first sentence that says Beware the cutting blade hidden in the lid. It is very sharp and will cut easily or words to that effect. Thats exactly what happened. I could hear the JAWS music in the background and the machine saying See, I warned you! (Please see my pictures and commentary on the product page.) After the successful first aid treatment, it was ready to go. This machine is so simple and easy to use I almost didnt believe it. The RARE and COVETED FIVE STAR RATING. I highly recommend this product but need to add a few things. FIRST-follow all the instructions. It is supplied with two snap-on feet with non-slip material and is designed to be used on the counter or other flat surface. ONLY use the machine with Stretch-tite plastic wrap, and make sure youre feeding it from the back forward, not the other way around or it wont dispense properly. Trying to use it with any other wrap, aluminum foil, wax paper, etc. will simple ruin the cutting blade. DO NOT try to pickup the machine by the lid when it is opened or you will discover how sharp the cutting blade is. And lastly, dont overthink the instructions. I tend to think things are more complicated than they really are. This is EASY. With a little practice youll be off to the races in nothing flat. And remember, plastic wrap can be used for so many other things besides food. HAPPY WRAPPING!

I really like StetchTite plastic wrap but like all plastic wrap, the container falls apart too soon. I stumbled across this dispenser when looking for something else and decided it was worth trying. I bought two - one for the kitchen and one for my studio. Im an artist and when Im done painting for the day, I cover my oil palette with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer. This has been a rather messy operation as the wrap clings to itself and trying to get it over may palette is often a struggle to see whos going to win the battle the wrap or me. The dispenser solved the problem for me and I am thrilled. I set my palette on my drawing table, in front of the dispenser, and pull the wrap out and over it. It stays straight and I get a tight seal. I also love using the dispenser in the kitchen. It is just so easy to use and I can wrap bowls, cut fruit, plates, and just about anything that I need to either freeze or refrigerate quickly and cleanly. Now all I need to do is get the other members of the household to use it.
