SimpleHuman upright grocery bag holder: Nice form factor, great size, but hard to keep clean-looking.
My old fabric grocery bag holder was coming apart at the seams, and the elastic at both ends was shot. eBay has a lot of those fabric bag holders, and I considered getting another one of those for a few bucks, but I’m not real crazy about the fabric bag holders.
I have liked the SimpleHuman upright grocery bag holder for a long time, and I decided it was time to splurge and get myself one.
You can get it from Amazon for about $24, and if you find something else you want to bring your purchase to at least $25, you get free shipping.
(As an aside, I have to admit that Amazon’s “Free Super Saver Shipping” on orders over $25 gets me every time. I can always find something else I need to bring my order to $25. I think I’m going to have to spring for the Amazon Prime membership, so that I get free 2-day shipping even without a $25 minimum purchase.)
The Simplehuman bag holder holds a lot of bags.
I really like it! It holds a lot of grocery bags. When this baby gets full, it’s just flat-out time to take some of my bags back to the grocery store for recycling, because it means I’ve got way more bags than I’ll ever use.
It’s also very sturdily constructed. Good strong plastic parts and stainless steel sides. I may never have to buy another bag holder.
I keep mine in my pantry. At first, I felt like it was a shame to keep it in there, hidden away, because I think it’s attractive and deserves to be displayed on a counter. But it turns out that the brushed stainless steel is hard to wipe clean of fingerprints. I’ve used the moist sanitizing wipes, damp paper towels, 409 spray cleaner, and even glass cleaner.
The stainless steel sides are covered with smears and fingerprints, even after cleaning.
At the top left at the beginning of this review, you can see the stock photo from SimpleHuman. At right are photos I took of mine, after touching and then cleaning the stainless steel sides. The fingerprints don’t really bother me, since I keep mine in the pantry. But if you would be keeping yours in view on the counter, you had better be better at cleaning off fingerprints than I am. Maybe Bar Keeper’s Friend stainless steel cleaner will work better.
The slot in the front that you pull bags from is easy to access, and the hole in the top that you use to stuff bags into it is also easy to get to. When it starts getting full, I can use a fair bit of force to shove more bags in, and it never feels like I’m about to break it.
I’d buy it again. It’s a tad pricey compared to the inexpensive fabric bag holders, but considering it might well last me the rest of my life, it’s a bargain.
The SimpleHuman upright bag holder is available from Amazon.
You can also find SimpleHuman bag holder on eBay, sometimes for less money, and eBay also has a lot of the wall-mounted Simple Human bag holders, too, which also look nice. The wall-mounting could be a real convenience, if you’ve got a good place to mount it.
