Stretch-Tite Wrap'n Snap 7500 Dispenser, Easy Refill and Cutter for Plastic Wrap

All in all I am very happy with my purchase. In general, the dispenser certainly looks better than the cardboard box/dispenser that the plastic comes in, the cardboard box never stayed put when the wrap was pulled out and the end of the plastic was always falling back into the box. The dumb task of fishing out the end of the wrap finally made me decide to find a dispenser that was easier and cleaner to use. I debated for a time between this product and the Kenkut 3 Kenkut 3 Plastic Film and Foil Dispenser . I was looking for a plastic sheet dispenser that was of commercial quality, not too large, easy to use and would look good permanantly stationed on my kitchen counter top. I finally decided against the Kenkut 3 because of its size (20" x 8.5") thinking I would give up too much counter space. The Stretch-tite Wrap'N Snap (14" x 3.5") takes up less than 1/3 of the countertop area as the Kenkut (49 versus 170 square inches). This product is also less than half the price of the Kenkut 3. Another deciding factor was that I have for years used the Stretch-tite plastic wrap available from Costco in the 750 sq ft rolls. The plastic wrap is tough and clings well. The Stretch-tite rolls fit perfect into the Stretch-tite dispenser without any wasted space. Pros: Easy to clean. Looks good. Wrap is cut simply by depressing the cover of the dispenser with either your finger or the heel of your hand (if your fingers are soiled). The design is such that the next sheet of wrap can be pulled with your fingers without touching the dispenser. Stay-put feet can be removed and cleaned. As long as your counter top and the dispenser's feet are clean, the dispenser will stay put when pulling the wrap. I found that pulling the wrap at about a 45 to 60 degree angle to the counter top helps to keep the dispenser from moving or tipping. Pulling the wrap at a nearly parallel angle to the countertop invariably causes the dispenser to tip or slide. Cons: Loading the plastic into the dispenser, at first, seems confusing but once you understand the design it is easy and quick. I highly recommend this dispenser especially if you use Stretch-tite plastic wrap.

I’m so glad I finally purchased this dispenser! I first saw it on ATK. It makes using the Stretch-tite Wrap so easy and convenient. Loading the wrap into the dispenser was easy and it sits nicely on my counter. I use plastic wrap sparingly but, when I need it, Stretch-tite is my go-to choice. It is sturdy enough to reuse it quite often. The first dispenser I purchased had a slight manufacturing flaw in the plastic but Amazon replaced it immediately and the one I have now is perfect.

Nearly perfectly. Here's 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 doesn't 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, it's 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. I'm kind of stunned. I really didn't 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 won't 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, it's barely heavy enough to sit still reliably when you pull a length. That's 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. I'm 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 it's attached with screws. The instructions specifically say that it won't 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'm used to keeping a roll of this stuff in a cabinet and bringing it out each time I need to use it (just about every day). This is often when hands are covered in food or whatever so the box gets grungy over time; the box also needs immediate reinforcement with heavy-duty packaging tape or it quickly falls apart. I happened upon this dispenser on Amazon and, since the only cling wrap that I've ever found worth buying is what Costco sells (Stretch-Tite, two boxes of 750' each bundled together) and since this dispenser describes itself as specifically designed for this brand, I figured this would reduce the chances that I'd have to return it as not useful. It works great. I'm happy with it. Good quality and very to use. I like the way the lid is perpetually open so my fingers don't have to touch anything at all before grabbing hold of the wrap and pulling it out. The cutting mechanism is also well-designed so I can use even my wrist or elbow to push the lid down, which activates the cutter, before springing back up into open position. I gave this 4 stars only because it does not include a means to attach under cabinets. I don't want any more counter clutter and the counter backsplashes are mirrors and I was reluctant to risk cracking the glass by drilling holes through the mirrors and so I had to improve a solution for this - see pics). For each one of the two support brackets, I used epoxy to attach one 9" 90-degree angle bracket to a second 6" 90-degree angle bracket to create a large 'U' shaped bracket. I screwed one side into the underside of the cabinet which left a horizontal bar 6+ inches below and parallel to the underside of the cabinet. I attached the feet of the dispenser to each bracket with 3M double-sided tape, which is more than strong enough to keep this baby in place. One satisfied customer.

This dispenser has saved so much profanity in my kitchen! Easy to use, saves on wasted Stretch-Tite and saves my fingers from hitting the serrated cutter. Solidly built and stays put when in use. Wish they had one for Freeze-Tite.

I thought this would be another contraption I'd be sending back! To my surprise, I LOVE IT! It stores my big roll of plastic wrap and perfectly cuts it. Really doesn't take up much room on the counter.

This dispenser works well. I did find that it takes a little patience when pulling out the plastic wrap, because the item is light-weight and I end up lifting it off the counter with the wrap. But it does keep the wrap flat and smooth until it's time to cut it. And it cuts the wrap off cleanly. If I had a place to attache the dispenser, it would stay put, but unfortunately, I'll just have to be patient when pulling out the plastic wrap. I also like that it will accept larger rolls of plastic wrap. My old one, which I broke, would only take 200 sq ft rolls. This is well worth the money.

I love this dispenser. I probably shouldn’t use a much plastic as I do, but this dispenser makes it so easy to wrap leftovers. No more wrestling with plastic wrap.
