Household Essentials LH1002 Lifter Hamper Spring Loaded Laundry Bag - Black

My daughter bought me one of these when I moved into my own apartment and the laundry room was in the hall so I could just fill it, roll it, empty it, and do the same thing when my clothes was done. I had to purchase another one because the straps that hook onto the legs broke and I was looking for another one because I just didn't like the other rolling laundry hampers I purchased because the handle broke and I had to bend down to empty it and I have trouble with bending over. If this one break I'll order another one because I love it.

Concept is absolutely wonderful but faults in quality of products and workmanship. First set purchased for bathroom - it arrived #1 with broken assembly pieces after their shipping dept apparently zip tied the legs together too tightly and caused two parts to directly hit one another-causing the broken part...and #2 was for washroom - one leg was assembled backwards with no way of resolving so I requested a return. Amazon replied quickly that they were sending 2 new replacement hampers. I Returned the defective ones through the UPS STORE. Warning it was almost impossible to fit back into the box. Received Replacement to fairly quickly but Only opened one this time-put it all together. Did not assemble easily as pics in instructions made it seem. The cross support bars took serious force and frustration to insert and then Safely move to second set of cross bars being locked in. Nylon Strap that secures the bottom crossbars together to keep assembly upright is barely long enough and Velcro was not heavy duty enough to hold once hamper had any weight put in it. I used second Velcro strap from box 2 thinking I’d test to see if it was simple design flaw-it was. It either needs a set of nylon straps or one thicker nylon strap with heavy duty Velcro instead of just the one provided ....So, I was still faithful to believing this was easily resolved by perhaps a request to company for an extra set of nylon/velco straps, but alas -defeat. I walked into my washroom on day #2 to see half full basket of clothes laying almost on the floor because the nylon straps that were sewn to the material hamper portion of this product (and goes over the tops of hamper leg poles to anchor hamper and creates the constant uplifting force for the hamper structure as it rises and falls with addition/removal of clothes) had come completely unsewn. It was a real shame because if the quality of assembly, materials and workmanship had been higher -these would have been permanent fixtures in my home and I probably would have purchased one for every family member. After 2 trips to UPS to return the hampers - I will just wait and see if the company that makes these will take some design and quality control advise and up their level of workmanship to a quality standard (in packaging, assembly and sewing) and increases the quality and strength of the materials they use-namely the Velcro in the nylon strap-binding assembly and also gives the strap a little more length so Velcro can overlap and contact well to withstand the weight of clothes on the assembly structure. Really wanted to use these and for them to do well but it’s a no-can do for right now with the existing faults.

I bought this as I am handicapped and laundry is the bane of my existence but it's a fact of life that must get done. I highly recommend this! It has made laundry so much easier if bending or back pain is an issue. I grew up with a handicapped grandmother and mom and now myself. My grandmother passed a few years ago but she would have just enjoy playing with it put stuff in and watching it go up and down. I bought this for myself and tested it out. I live in a house that has 2 flights of stairs to do laundry and this has made it easier. I carefully roll it down one step at a time and lifting a little to get up the stairs is a lot lighter than it used to be. I liked this so much I actually bought my mom one.

Works really well for us. Only issue is the hooks for hanging over the legs and the strap to keep the legs together are not attached well. We needed to re-sew the fabric hooks and sew over the Velcro for the lower strap, but once we did that it works really well.

I have trouble bending so this is a perfect hamper as I never have to bend. It also h as wheels so I can wheel it through form the laundry room to the bedrooms. It also folds. There couldn't be anyting better. It is so easy to set up, a 3 year old could do it it is so easy.

Does not work as described. Elastic bands are too strong and do not allow the bag to drop under the weight of a normal wash load. Had to remove the bands to allow it to work like a normal laundry hamper. Good concept but poor design. Do not recommend.

Ordered it after watching the pitch on Shark Tank, and have no questions about why the Sharks didn't bother funding it. The concept of the laundry hamper is a good one - but this product is not in any way. Package arrived on time as promised, and that's the end of the good part. 1 - No instructions on the proper way to put this contraption together were included. All we had to go by, is the picture on the outside of the box - even the box itself appeared to have been pulled out of the trash to ship this item to us. The different pieces (up to 10) only had 2 that were labeled A1 and A2. That's it. 2 - The plastic frame is cheap - more than likely made in China but definitely not an American made product that offers any level of sturdiness. The wheels are cheap plastic. 3 - One of the straps that would hold the flex bag in place was ripped to shreds - literally, it was supposed to be thick with velcro, and had one strand connecting the entire thing. 4 - Unless you have laundry in your flex bag, the flex bag hangs off to one side instead of straight. The picture shown with this obviously has a full bag of items in it to force the black laundry bag to hang down so nicely - because reality is that it does not. Because the cardboard box looked like it came out of the trash when it arrived, there were no instructions included and no return shipping label with this - it is now in the trash where it belongs. Do not waste your money.

I was not impressed with this product at all. It is cheaply made and I mean cheaply. It goes together easily and I was impressed as to how it worked. But apparently I went over the weight limit because the straps on on the canvas bag (if you call it canvas-very poor quality) came off where they were stitched on. It didn't rip the fabric which I thought it did but instead it was the stitching. It seems the stitching was not suitable for the use this hamper would get. It was not reinforced or was the stitching heavy duty enough.. The idea is great but the hamper bag needs to be improved. If there is a new replacement I would give it a try again.

I only use mine as a stationary basket, the wheels are not necessary for me. Keeps the items up and holds a lot of cloths.

It’s ok.... looks like something you would find in a hospital or nursing home. Have to manually push it down when you put clothes in, maybe it will loosen up with usage. Great height for pushing around.
