I can't help but wonder what on earth the people who gave reviews of this item 'not sticking' were trying to stick it to: asphalt? a wall of feathers? rough, wooden splintery boards? We've had two of these now. Why two? Because when we moved the first one we had was so solidly stuck to the cabinet we had attached it to with the included tape that we couldn't pry it off without risking ruining the dispenser. Stick it to a smooth, clean surface and it will stay brilliantly in place, no matter how hard you push on it. (Still doesn't feel secure for you? It comes with screw mounts as well...)

The positives that the other reviewers have noticed are all true: this is a great dispenser, and it saves a lot of space that would otherwise be filled with loose bags floating all over the place. You can pack a LOT of bags into this holder...great buy for the price.

I purchased this for myself a while back. I love it so much, that I purchased a few more for my friends. It is a great little organizer - and it looks good, too. I am so relieved to have all the grocery bags in one neat place.

I do like that this product keeps the bags out of sight and in a compact area, but the sticky parts on the back don't really work, so keep in mind you'll definitely have to screw it into a wall to make it stay up.
Second, if you fill it with bags, it can be quite difficult to get one out.
Overall, I like it but a few things could be improved.

I love this product. It is very easy and quick to tuck in a new bag or pull one out to use. A simply wipe now and then and it stays nice and shiny. I have had mine for 4 maybe 5 yrs and it still looks new. Properly mounted it stays securely in place during use but is still easy to lift and remove for cleaning. Thanks for a great product.

Apartment dwellers, beware! The sticky tape doesn't really stay on if you load it as fully as it can hold the bags. We keep it about 3/4 full, and it stays on the wall now. I imagine it would be much better with actual bolts to hold it in place. It is definitely an improvement on the old system, though!

This is the perfect grocery bag holder as far as I'm concerned. It looks great in a tight spot and is sleek and well made. I read a lot of other reviews complaining about the stickers not holding it onto walls/cabinets; my advice is to use screws! SO easy and no problems at all getting this thing to stay securely mounted even with very frequent use. It's very well worth the price paid, and came in a nice sturdy box with no dents or dings.

Horrible. This thing falls off the wall constantly, it is hard to stuff bags in and hard to get them out. NO WAY does it hold the amount of bags it says.... after 20 they are in there so tight the thing just flings off the wall from all your PULLING. Plus, you have to hold it down with the other hand which just gets finger prints all over it. I am going to buy one of those simple fabric holders my mom used to have. Those held a ton of bags and it was easy to work it. Just hang the tube from a hook, simple. Save your time and money on this one....unless you are only looking for the "Bling bling" and could care less about it actually holding bags that you are going to need in the future. Oh yeah, I tried the sticky tape vs the screws and it pulled the paint off my pantry door. Nice! Thanks a lot Simplehuman!

This works out well for me. It has given me more cupboard space where I used to just stuff them. I can get just one out of the slot very easily.

I got one for myself about a year ago and loved it! The last one I bought is a gift for someone else who came to my house and loved it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the sticker material that comes with it is not very "sticky". You could go to the hardware store and get your own inexpensively.

I have seen them at dog parks and in community parks and they keep bags in it for picking up after your dog.

The adhesive doesn't hold well at all, so you'll need to screw it into the wall, but other than that, this is a nice-looking, handy little bag-holder. Definitely worth purchasing to keep bags organized and readily at hand. I just wish it could hold more bags, but that's only because we have so many of them! Looks like it's time for another trip to the recycling facility...
