Product Reviews of Seventh Generation Paper Towels, Natural, 2-Ply Sheets (Pack of 30)
Product Review: Not as thick or strong as the White version
Summary: 2 Stars
I tried both the bleached white and the brown natural versions of these towels and I BY FAR prefer the white; not because of the color, but because you get more for your money.
The white towels are not as soft feeling as your grocery store preferred brands. They actually feel rather rough; but they are quite strong and lint free. Both versions are the same size towel, about 1/3rd smaller than your standard papertowel. The brown version feels much thinner and is not nearly as strong. I can't even dry my hands with one towel, they rip to pieces. On both, the perforations are not cut very well and it's nearly impossible to tear off a single sheet, especially the white. I can use the white towel and hang it on my kitchen faucet to dry and use it again; not so with the brown version. The brown towels are in pieces after drying one coffee cup.
I wish they would tear off the roll easier but I'd buy the white towel again, but I wouldn't buy the brown natural towel.
Product Review: Not bad and a nice way to reduce your eco footprint a little
Summary: 3 Stars
While the 7th Generation paper towels aren't as absorbent as some of the higher end name brands they are a cut above the store brand and low end paper towels. We use a lot of paper towels at our house with 4 cats and 1 kid. So in an effort to reduce our impact on the planet I decided to try the 7th Generation towels. We may be using more a few more paper towels but at least they are made of recycled paper. I do wish they could get them to be more absorbent and still be eco-friendly. If you can get them on sale and pick free shipping they are worth buying.Product Review: Not the most absorbant in the world.
Summary: 3 Stars
These could absorb a lot better. They don't really pack much of a punch. Keep trying, 7th Generation.Product Review: Not too shabby...
Summary: 4 Stars
Have had no trouble at all ripping sheets along the perforations (as others have pointed out). I have noticed that they do not absorb quite as much as some other super-duty brands, but I really only use them to Windex my counters, and -- on the bright side -- have learned to cut down on the amount of Windex I spray everywhere (in an attempt not to get my hands wet). However, once soaked in Windex, these sheets do not easily tear or fall apart. All in all, in terms of functionality, they're pretty much on par with any non-earthloving brand.
The sheets themselves are a bit smaller than I'm used to (about 2/3 the width of a normal sheet, I'd say), so if you're going to do any obsessive cost-analysis make sure to focus on square footage. Aesthetically, the brown may be a touch off-putting...but what better way to show you care than brown paper towels?? Perhaps next order I'll go with the white, however....which brings me to my next point:
No, you're not paying 50 bucks because these are the world's most expensive paper towels (although they do sell for $2.50/roll at most grocery stores, here it's not even $1.40 with the discounts). You're paying 50 bucks because the go-cart sized box you'll receive has 30 rolls in it...we're talking enough rolls to last an average two-person household a good 1.5 years, at least. Although, if you're buying paper towels from amazon, you're probably already quite used to the Costco (and even greater) sized portions.
Product Review: Not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
These paper towels are comparable to the ones you would find from a dispenser at the movies or other public restrooms. They are not strong, not even close. They are very thin and you would need at least 2 to do the same job as a better paper towel- ie. bounty. And the roll itself is actual smaller than a regular paper towel roll. I got a roll for free and I would personally never waste my money on these paper towels. And this may be a minor gripe, but the actual brown color of the towel is very tacky and cheap-looking. It actually looks as if you took it from a public restroom. Besides it being 'green' I find nothing redeaming about this particular paper towel.
