Deluxe Mesh Pop Up Square Laundry Hamper w/ Side Pocket & Handles - VentilAir Fabric Collapsible Design - for Clothes & Laundry - Home - (Holds 2 Loads) (14 x 23 Inch) [White]

I bought this to replace the rectangle wire/fabric hamper that I bought from the red bullseye store :) for my son's room. My son is 4 and autistic and tends to be a bit destructive in his room, especially at night before he goes to sleep. He throws things, jumps off things...you name it. Needless to say after a very short time in the ring with my little Nacho Libre, the big metal wires that made up the frame of the other hamper were bent and disfigured beyond repair, not to mention one was poking dangerously out of the fabric! I threw it out right away and bought this. I figured it would be one he could not destroy, could not hurt himself or anything in his room with if he chucked it (not uncommon). Also at this price point, I could afford to replace it if he did manage to destroy it! So far I'm thrilled with it and don't think it will need replacing for a very long time! First, it's idiot proof. I love things that are idiot proof! Second, the materials seem to be of good quality and the construction is sound. I've owned these before and the handles ripped off while lugging a heavy load downstairs to the laundry room. These have not had that problem and I don't anticipate that problem as the whole thing feels very secure. Third, it holds a surprising amount of clothes! I love soft sided laundry baskets just like soft sided suitcases because it means I can stuff more in! Fourth, I love that it has a side pocket for whatever you want. I put socks in it. Fifth, I love that it's mesh so when my son goes fishing in the toilet, spills milk all over himself or I throw wet towels or wash cloths in there, they dry out quickly and don't get all stanky over the course of the week like they would in an enclosed hamper. I know it isn't "cute decor" but seriously, what more could you want out of a dirty clothes hamper?? I bought a second one for my husband and I to use just for our whites. I HIGHLY recommend this for a kids/babies room or for a student, apartment dweller or anyone who has to schlep all their clothes up or down stairs or to a community laundry area! Simple, easy, 5 stars earned! I did NOT receive this item free or at a discount.

Update (1/25/2019): After 8 years, we’re retiring one of these. It still has life in it, but my preschooler decided it makes a much better robot costume than a hamper. Rest In Peace, my friend! Update (2/29/2016): I'm finally starting to have some small rips, but the hampers are still functional. It's been 5.5 years. Well worth the money. Update (4/28/2014): I've been using two of these pink hampers for three and a half years and no rips or tears so far. I can't believe how long they've lasted! I use these to hold dirty laundry and carry laundry around my house, so I have not tried carrying laundry down the block to a laundry mat. Excluding any random quality control issues, I think it's important to remember that pop-up hampers will never be a strong as plastic or wooden-framed hampers, so I wouldn't expect to carry a huge load long distances in these. That said, I regularly fill these to the brim and carry them around my house. Original Review (2010): This is a great hamper. I've bought two and will definitely buy more. Here are some of the highlights: - Very sturdy (especially relative to other pop-up hampers) - Reinforced handles (a must have for large loads to prevent ripping) - 2 side pockets for laundry accessories (detergent, dryer sheets, etc.) - Folds completely flat (or into a small, flat circle for more compact storage) - Solid fabric bottom - Multiple handles (you can pick it up using the cloth handles or with handles on the actual metal frame) The only negative is that the opening is slightly smaller than some other pop-up hampers. Overall, I'm extremely pleased.

I purchased this laundry hamper for staying in the residence hall over the summer in hopes that it would prove useful. Staying organized is really difficult for me, always being on the go, and during the year, my floor was often covered with my laundry piles. This hamper really helped me, because I can just throw things into it, and it will look perfectly clean no matter what. The design is very sturdy, and as a short, 100-pound young woman, I can easily take it up and down flights of stairs and through hallways. There is lots of room in it, so I can always fit my detergent in the hamper as well as loads of clothes. The side pocket is VERY useful for storing my keys, dryer sheets, extra things that I find in my pockets, etc. so I can keep my hands free while walking and doing laundry. As a busy student in college rushing to and from work, class, and clubs, this hamper is going to be my best friend next year! I highly recommend this for any college student or anyone who needs to do laundry within a building.

I bought this hamper in white, for our daughter to take to college. She will have to haul her laundry to the dorm laundromat, and I wanted something light and durable. She won't have space in her room for a plastic molded laundry basket. The handles look like they are well attached, and the size of the hamper itself is big enough for a week or more of laundry. It has a pouch on the side for detergent and other necessities, and it will fold down flat when she's not using it. I've warned her not to pack it too full, to avoid ripping the mesh sides, but we'll see how it lasts. We paid $18 for ours, which seems a little high. It arrived quickly with free Amazon SuperSaver shipping, saving a trip to Walmart to look for a similar hamper.

I do my laundry at work with my client and this was perfect to transfer to my car to inside the house I will buy another one it was sturdy and held a lot of clothes 😁

These do the job I needed them to do! I have 3 kids so when winter hits, my small hallway is chaos with all of the winter gear! We don't have room to have built-in storage so I bought one of these baskets for each kid and that's where all of their dry hats, mitts, gloves, neck warmers gets tossed. They each have their own colour of basket so they can easily grab their own items and put them away. They're fairly sturdy and anticipate them lasing for awhile, although holes in the mesh could be possible if you're rough on them.

UPDSTE: bought this in February and have been using it as a laundry hamper since May. I’ve only collapsed if 3-4 times, mostly it just stays open, but in December I noticed there’s sharp metal sticking through one of the seams where it’s cut through the fabric cover. (Adding photo) So would say this is NOT safe if you have small children around. Bought this for traveling and pleased to find it packs quite small. The only trouble I had was re-folding it; eventually I discovered that it’ll only fold in three when twisted one direction, not the opposite. But easy to re-collapse once I tried twisting the other way.

I wish I saw this version before buying another brand...way better and cheaper! I love the side handles along with the straps making transportation so much easier, the pocket on the side is sturdy and holds a lot. Not bad for a pop up laundry bag, great for college students or people like me who have to travel to the laundromat.

Sturdier than expected. Instructions say not to store it folded into compact size, but it folds flat so not a big deal.

Been using it for a fair few years now. Have had to buy one replacement due to my cavalier attitude in overestimating its sturdiness, but by god it does its job.
