This paper towel holder is excellent. Our previous holder had a heavy, screw off top. It was easy to drop and just a general pain when it came to changing the roll of towels. This Simplehuman Quick Load Paper Towel Holder is simply fantastic. In one quick motion, I am able to pinch and remove the top. The roll goes on, and then I can quickly place the top right back. It also stays in place quite firmly when I lift without pinching the buttons. Overall, I am very happy with this product, and I would definitely recommend it to others.
