We were trying to free up a little space in our kitchen so we purchased purchased this product and hung it on our refrigerator. It succeeds in holding the paper towels, but the magnets are so wimpy that it slips when it is bumped and is practically worthless if you want to pull the paper towels off of the roll while the roll is still attached to the holder - that is just an invitation to have the whole contraption come off in your hands.

I know they claim that they are the strongest magnets available, but that is simply not true! We do not have a stainless steel fridge, so that is not the problem. We also have a magnetic dishtowel rod on the same refigerator and it never slips. This product is a big disappointment.

This product claims to be the strongest available, yet it is very weak and cheap. The magnets slide don't my refrigerator and I even have other magnets under it to help hold it up, the roll of paper towel I am using is a skinny roll and still that does NOT help:( I was sooo exicted when I 1st saw this item because I thought it would be perfect for my condo and to save space, but it stinks! SO My suggestion is save your MONEY and deal with what you have. Good luck, I hope this review helped someone because no one warned me and I wish they had.

It is sturdy and very hard to get off of the refrig unless you grab it with both hands. Does not come off when you pull off a towel, like some do. I have another one (different kind) that was always being pulled off, so that one will go into the trailer. Highly recommend.

I hesitated about buying this after reading the not-so-enthusiastic reviews posted, but it has worked fine for me for over a year now. It does say that it won't work on stainless steel. The magnets hold on just fine on my non-stainless fridge. At one point after we got it it did start slipping, so I cleaned the fridge thoroughly with a grease-cutting cleaner and haven't had any problems with it since. It's nice to have a holder that keeps the paper towels out of the way without having to put holes in the walls or cabinets. Very handy.

I was hesitant to order this for my metal kitchen cabinets because of some of the poor reviews. However, it is fantastic...it holds like a rock! The poor reviews were all older, so maybe the item was improved. I love that it can be mounted at different angles and it's so nice to be able to move it around. I'm getting ready to order a magnetic towel bar right now!

The large magnets hold the towel bar securely in place. I have had no problems with the bar slipping when I pull off towels. I would highly recommend this product.

I have had this for probably 1 year and i love it. It is very strong magnets and i have it on the side of my refrigerator. My kitchen is small so this saves me space on my counter. I would recommend this product to anyone.

The magnets are strong and no worry about it slipping or falling. It looks clean and saves counter space. Love the space and not having to drill holes anywhere. I'm happy with this purchase.

The cardboard paper towel tube is tough to get off this holder. I have to take the whole thing off the fridge to work it off.

This product works as advertised. The magnets are strong and adhere to the fridge.

I was worried about this product because of the negative reviews it received about the magnet strength - it turns out I had nothing to worry about. It latches itself right onto my fridge without a problem. I added a picture to the product that shows it holding up one of my hardcover textbooks to show that it's capable (It wouldn't hold up the 1300 page one though.). I suspect reviewers problems are due to the magnetic surface on which they are trying to attach the towel holder.

The product itself is fairly sturdy, but looks pretty cheap (I wonder how OXO would make this.). Fortunately, the paper towel roll hides the cheaper parts of it. It's very easy to put a roll on, but a slight pain to take it off.

Overall, I'm happy with the product - it does what it says it will. I'm withholding the fifth star because of the lack of visual appeal.
