Customer Reviews

This product is just a terrible design. I am in the middle of packing up my house and am so dissapointed with this product that I am taking the time to write this review in the hopes that other people won't buy it and save themselves money time and trouble. The tension is terrible to try and work with, it takes a lot of work to get it to cut the tape, and I've wasted a good amount of tape trying to get it to cut. I finally resorted to using scissors to cut the tape off... not what I had planned to do today while trying to pack up my house amidst 5 small children... Please don't buy this tape dispenser.

This thing is a total waste of money. Thanks in part to some 'safety cutting edge', it is almost impossible to cut the tape without having the tape get all bunched up or come loose off the dispenser. I ended up having to use a scissors to cut the tape, which flies counter to the whole point of having a tape dispenser role. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! PS: After I threw out this piece of junk, I bought this: 3M Scotch Gray Box Sealing Tape Dispenser (H180). It works just fine.
