A good paper towel holder is hard to find. They all end up giving you too many or rip the towels apart. This one does not do that. With the tension on it, I can always get exactly how many paper towels I want and not have to worry about tearing. And it is mounted to the wall and out of the way. And easy to change out when the roll is empty - you just have to slide the old tube off and slide the new one on. No unscrewing a cap at the end. Win-win. Recommend to everyone.
