1.0 out of 5 stars Will scratch your fridge!!! April 4, 2006

By Jeffrey Kew

The sharp plastic edges on this magnetic towel bar scratched my brand new fridge. The magnets are not strong enough to keep it from moving and scratching the surface it is mounted on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great May 4, 2006

By Tiger TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

I bought mine from "Get Organized" through Amazon, but this looks like the same one.

I have absolutely no place for a towel bar in my kitchen near my sink. I desperately needed a magnetic solution. This worked perfectly on the side of my refrigerator. The magnets are pretty strong!

Yes, it will move if you pull hard on it, but it stays in place pretty well with the rubber feet and angle it rests the feet. I choose to lift towels off instead of just tugging from the bottom on one side. I do use hand-towels while they are on the rack without problem. It does move down the side an inch or two over months of use in my kitchen and I easily just move it back up. Sure, if you pull hard on it, it will move, but for me under normal wear and tear, it stays put. Yes, the sliding magnets can scratch, but the scrathes for me are very tiny and barely noticeable. If you slide anything metal on metal, of course it has a potential to scratch. The rubber feet don't scratch. You can barely see any tiny scratches after a full year of use at my house.

I am *extremely* happy with mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it! January 12, 2006

By K. Thee

The magnets are plenty strong, it is nice looking, and small enough to fit on any metal surface in a kitchen. Not big enough for a kitchen towel, say, to dry without folding it over a little.

3.0 out of 5 stars Do not use for a new fridge. Use for an old fridge. April 29, 2012

This towel holder should be used for a product you don't care about when it comes to looks because it leaves a black residue, and it may even cause damage. I rated it 3 because it still works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Magnetic Towel Bar July 7, 2008

By Leanna

The towel bar works well but make sure it's where you want it when you put it on a metal surface. When I tried it out on my white refrigerator I had difficulty removing it because the magnets are so powerful. When I pulled, the magnets came unstuck from the towel rods and I had to glue them back. When I finally pried them off, a little white paint came off the frig. Other than that I'm very happy with the towel rod.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Slip, Holds One Towel, Solid Construction December 8, 2009

By Kevin Barrack VINE™ VOICE

The magnets on this are strong enough to hold probably any towel up. My fridge has a slight texture to it's surface and this doesn't slip. If you pull on the towel so that it pulls on the holder then it will move some, but it's not a problem to dry your hands without yanking on the thing.

Although the picture shows two towels being held, one on a front rod and one on a back rod, really only the front rod is feasibly usable. The back rod only has about an inch of open space between it and the fridge, so it would be a hassle to try and get a towel back there, unless you wanted to lift the rod assembly (it's hinged) to slip it in, which seems like more trouble than it's worth.

I haven't had any trouble with this scratching my fridge. It has left some very minor scuff marks after 2 years of use and moving it every now and then, so if you need to have everything looking flawlessly perfect then maybe this isn't for you. Although, really it's not like it has seriously marred my refrigerator, so if you can stand a little scuffing then this is an excellent product you should buy.

Oh, and if you're thinking of buying the matching Magnetic Paper Towel Holder, DON'T. It isn't as high quality as this towel holder. I wrote a review for that product too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super strong magnets, doesn't scratch September 26, 2011

By sz

I bought this to place on my fridge (because our cat chews on towels anywhere within reach). I disagree with some of the other reviewers-- the magnets are super strong and stay in place whenever I take towels off or put them on. Also, there's no chance of it scratching our fridge (which was a concern because ours is stainless steel and can be scratched easily because the two points that touch the fridge (not counting the magnets) are covered with a thick, clear rubber/plastic piece. Besides, the magnets are so strong, it's really tough to slide the towel bar anyway. I definitely recommend this towel bar.

5.0 out of 5 stars magnetic towel rack November 24, 2010

By Bob

I purchased the Better Houseware 2409 Magnetic Double Towel Bar to replace an earlier magnetic towel bar on my refrigerator. The prior bar was plastic with attached magnets and it was prone to fall down from time to time, eventually breaking the plastic. The new (2409) bar is all metal with super strong magnets which keep it snugly in place. I am really pleased with it.
