Stretch-tite WrapN Snap 7500 Dispenser

I am thoroughly loving my new stretch-tite dispenser. Never knew this existed until I saw Ina Garten showing it in her “my favorite items in my kitchen” video. I use a lot of plastic wrap and this dispenser keeps is straight, tangle-free off the blade. Genius! Easy to put together and easy to store in cupboard when not needed. I like that I don’t need to fish for the end of the roll after each cut. I found that I need to be sure the pressure for my cuts is evenly distributed on the downward blade holder. Otherwise the piece of stretch-tite will not slice all the way through the plastic wrap. That makes sense as the blade length is over 13 inches.

...Ive spent the last 35 or 40 years of my life cussing every brand of plastic wrap Ive ever used. Cant tell you how many hours of my life Ive wasted trying to unfold/unstick/unwad wrap after tearing it off using the cutter thats built into the box. And even worse, having to take the roll OUT of the box and patiently search for & free the end when it disappears back into the box. I found this gadget on Amazon and ordered one, and the recommended Stretch-Tite wrap. All I can say is I wish I had this thing 30 years ago. It does what it says, and does it WELL. The wrap is cut cleanly, there is no folding over or wadding up, and the wrap does NOT slip back down inside the dispenser the way it can with the cardboard boxes. You just gently press down on the lid and its cut. That simple. One thing I really like is you can use the heel of your hand to push the lid down and make the cut - this is great when you are wrapping up say raw chicken pieces to put in the freezer, since you never have to touch the machine with your chicken-juice-covered fingers. Doing this with the cardboard-box dispensers, Id have to stop & wash my hands before tearing off the next piece of wrap so I wouldnt get chicken juice all over the box. Believe me, thats a time-saver. What can I say, this gadget impressed me so much I ordered 2 more to give as gifts! If you hate trying to untangle plastic wrap this is exactly what you need. People have asked if brands of wrap other than Stretch-Tite will work - Im going to post an answer to that in the Questions section for this product. Check that answer to see if your wrap brand will fit.

Totally liked this product.

So much easier than in original packaging. Never lose the end of the plastic again

Im used to keeping a roll of this stuff in a cabinet and bringing it out each time I need to use it (just about every day). This is often when hands are covered in food or whatever so the box gets grungy over time; the box also needs immediate reinforcement with heavy-duty packaging tape or it quickly falls apart. I happened upon this dispenser on Amazon and, since the only cling wrap that Ive ever found worth buying is what Costco sells (Stretch-Tite, two boxes of 750 each bundled together) and since this dispenser describes itself as specifically designed for this brand, I figured this would reduce the chances that Id have to return it as not useful. It works great. Im happy with it. Good quality and very to use. I like the way the lid is perpetually open so my fingers dont have to touch anything at all before grabbing hold of the wrap and pulling it out. The cutting mechanism is also well-designed so I can use even my wrist or elbow to push the lid down, which activates the cutter, before springing back up into open position. I gave this 4 stars only because it does not include a means to attach under cabinets. I dont want any more counter clutter and the counter backsplashes are mirrors and I was reluctant to risk cracking the glass by drilling holes through the mirrors and so I had to improve a solution for this - see pics). For each one of the two support brackets, I used epoxy to attach one 9 90-degree angle bracket to a second 6 90-degree angle bracket to create a large U shaped bracket. I screwed one side into the underside of the cabinet which left a horizontal bar 6+ inches below and parallel to the underside of the cabinet. I attached the feet of the dispenser to each bracket with 3M double-sided tape, which is more than strong enough to keep this baby in place. One satisfied customer.

Gifted to my niece since I love mine

I bake a lot and this item is priceless.

Its easy to use and takes care of the totally useless stupid box that Stretch-Tite plastic wrap comes in. If Saran Wrap could make a box you could actually use why cant Stretch-Tite? Saw this item in a video by Ina Garten and am so glad I have it.

This item does not work as well as the Wrap Master, however, you have no choice but to buy it if you want to purchase the larger rolls of Stretch-tite which do not fit in the Wrap Master. It is much less expensive to buy the larger rolls of Stretch-tite and this dispenser holds those rolls. The lid is not designed well and the place where you grip the plastic wrap is not easy to get at. It is to close to the lid. Because of the lid design, it does not cut as well for ME. It say for me, because I am 72 and I have arthritits very bad in my hands, so that may be a contributing factor. Younger people may not have a problem. With that being said, manufactures need to be aware that America is aging. The baby boomers are now retiring, and they are the largest generation ever, the generation coming after them is smaller. So, manufacturers need to be aware, we are the ones who have the time to cook the big family dinners on the holidays etc, and we are the ones who are using all the items that are suppose to make life easier. This device does not make life easier for me because of its poor design.

One of the best things Ive purchased! You avoid waste (of plastic wrap) by putting your plate or container right to the dispenser wall, pull out the plastic wrap to the edge of the opposite side of your plate or container, flip down dispensers lid to cut the plastic wrap, and the plastic covers your plate without folds and fidgeting on your part to straighten the folds, then you just tuck in the plastic around the sides of your plate. Prior to owning this, I could not imagine whats the big deal! Why would I need a dispenser when the plastic wrap comes with its own zipper-like cutting edge. Well, the first time I used it, I knew right away the convenience! You really dont want to be fidgeting with plastic wrap; you want a straightforward, clean, easy process. You hardly handle the plastic wrap because it just folds down on your plate or container and all you have to do is tuck it in. Its so worth the price and the premium real estate it occupies on the kitchen counter! I also like the quality and weight of the Stretch-lite plastic wrap itself and how much of it is in there that you wont have to reload until maybe a year or two.
