Kimberly Clark Professional Automatic High Capacity Paper Towel Dispenser (09992), Touchless, Battery Powered, Black

I was sick of wasting lots of money on expensive paper towels. I was also sick of shopping for paper towels and installing the roll on the manual holder. I paid $15 for this no touch dispenser and now it's $11. I also got the case of Kleenex Hard Roll Paper Towels (50606) offered with this. I got 3,600 ft of paper towels for $37. That's almost 7/10 ths of a mile of towels! I estimate this dispenser will save me 75% on paper towels, minimum. Are they absorbent? yes. are they strong? very. Are they as soft as the towel that rhymes with Mountie? Not at all, yet they are not like the papyrus scroll you find in the typical institution, either. I am fine with the softness. use the supplied key to open the unit - remove the shipping brace twist ties - open the battery compartment and install the (4) D batteries shipped with the unit - orientation is clearly marked - close the battery compartment. Follow the pictogram to hang the towel roll on the holder and lift the bar to feed the paper out the dispensing slot when you press the "hidden" service feed button inside the unit. Now look at the hinge for the unit cover, gentle dislodge the retaining lobe from one side by pulling out at that location, set the cover aside. Use the included full scale template on the wall to choose a mounting location. A spirit or laser level will help you get it perfect. For the four marked positions on the template, push a medium Phillips screwdriver through the drywall. Insert the included plastic molly in the hole you just made at the four locations. Place the unit on the wall until the molly heads are visible in the mounting cut-outs on the rear of the unit. Use the four screws to mount the unit to the wall. Replace the cover. Close the unit, leave the key in the top so you don't lose it. Congratulations.

We have been looking for affordable touch-less towel dispensers for a while now. Generally, most of these items require leases and special roll towels to use. We started looking through the normal industrial channels. On average, the sub-leases for the dispensers were around $80-$120 dollars each and the special roll towels were anywhere from $70-$90 a case (6 per case, 800 ft rolls). And because it was a sub-lease, we had to buy the special rolls as part of the lease contract. With over a hundred employees in our facility, that adds up to a lot of money. When I found this dispenser, the price looked too good to be true compared to the sub-leases we had seen. We purchased one to test out and see if it would actually work.This dispenser uses our normal brown hardroll towel rolls from are regular supplier(which we get for around $30 a case for the same size rolls!) instead of the expensive specialty rolls. Installation was easy and it runs on batteries. The germiphobes are happy that we have a touchless dispenser and we're wasting less paper towels. We'll be getting more of these dispensers to install in all the restrooms in our facility.

I installed this dispenser in my kitchen and while not a high-traffic area compared to commercial settings, this product has proven its worth. The hands-free paper towel dispensing action is helpful when I need to quickly clean up messes and the savings in using the large commercial paper towel rolls compared to conventional paper towels for home use are more than justified. I took off one star because on the automatic dispense setting where a single sheet will automatically dispense when the previous sheet is torn off, the unit will often dispense more and more with no provocation when I'm walking past, so I'll often end up with paper towels 3 to 5 feet long that I have to manually separate. Overall, still a good buy.

The rest of my family hates these things... They use the "hand sensor" because it's more aesthetic, and they go nuts quite often when the lighting changes. XDI however use the "hang mode" and love it. I keep it on the shortest setting then use tugs to get the amount I need and love it. I use it for my recycled rolls for cleaning. I also have a manual model that I use for my other rolls which I love since I can do a lot of really rapid pulls quickly.Overall I'd still recommend the manual model though for most people who want to use them in there home kitchen just for the fact they make a lot less noise.

I was looking to replace a noisy manual dispenser of the same type. This dispenser is great and I have no issues with it, nice features. My only complaint, and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is it isn't as quiet as I had hoped. Granted, it's not super loud, and it is quieter than my old one. But if you're expecting it to be silent or nearly so, it isn't. (I'll try to update with a video to give you an idea of the noise.)

Great product. I had been looking for the best touchless one. I had been checking them out at places I would go. I noticed that quite a few of the brands did not work that good. I would have to wave my hand several times to get it to go. So I knew which ones I did not want. I took a chance and picked this one, and it works very nice, one wave of the hand and out comes the towel. The only thing I don't like is that when you have it on the long towel setting, first it sends out the regular towel length, then it takes 2-3 seconds for the rest to come out.

This machine has been in operation in our home for about a year now. So far it works well, and it doesn't even suck down batteries all that bad at all. We've not had to replace ours yet.One caveat is that it can take a second or two to realize you're frantically waving your hand under it for a paper towel.The solution to this is the mode switch on the right hand side below the cover. Select the position that looks like a paper towel hanging outside the machine. As you can guess, this makes a paper towel hang out side the machine ready to be grabbed at any time.Accidental activation can be an issue with this machine, but it's rare.

These arrived very quickly and with great packaging. Batteries also come included so that was a nice surprise. Ordered these to replace older ones at a tattoo shop and am loving the options! It was nice to be able to pop off the lock feature so we don't have to go get a key every time we want to change a roll, and the stub roll feature to refill a roll early so it can auto feed through is an amazing feature for a tattoo shop, where we are used to either changing early so there's a bunch of stubby rolls left over everywhere or having to stop a longer tattoo session to change a roll. I also like the option of having either the hang down flap or the hand wave sensor, and all the directions for use and adjustments are clear and easy to use. Another nice feature is the fold out paper template for wall marking,so we could see exactly how and where it would fit before marking the wall up! Very nice feature. And these units fit the oversized rolls that some of our last machines would struggle with after a change out. We will be ordering a couple more of these in the very near future to replace the rest of our current ones.

Very happy with the price, we replaced our old one when the motor wore out. it's a little noisy but it deffinenly works better then the old on.

Batteries last forever and holds extra large rolls of paper requiring significantly less maintenance. Programmable dispensing length is a nice feature. The unit is on the large side, making this unsuitable for very small bathrooms.
