Easy to install; compact.
This little towel rack takes up very little space and looks great! It was easy to install and has functioned beautifully in my guest bath.

Never have your towels all over the counter top again!
Love this! It's right under my sink and handy to use to wipe my hands or grab if I need it to dry dishes. It holds several dishtowels easily - just leave an inch or two clearance for them to be inside the cabinet! Should have gotten one of these years ago! Installs easily and is almost flush with the door - not bulky at all unless you put about 6 towels on it like I do! Sturdy metal and bet it lasts for many years! Would be great in a garage on the wall to hold all kinds of things like work towels, ropes, extension cords, you name it! As long as they weren't real bulky real heavy items, it would hold lots of different things! The three bars move easily and go flush or at any angle outward.

Placed correctly, this works very well. A few of the other reviewers gave bad reviews after installing backwards.
A few of the other reviews had me laughing out loud. This product has two strong magnets that spin, so you can place this on the refrigerator backwards if you are not paying attention. If you place it backwards, then the two bars that hold the towel racks away from one another and from the refrigerator are facing out, useless. Placed correctly, bars towards the refrigerator, this rack holds the towels separate and away from the fridge. The magnets work well, the size is great for a small space, it's a sturdy little gadget.

Well made and easy to install.
Sturdy and made well. It was super easy to install and a nice quality product. I had to use shorter screws to install on my kitchen cabinet.

It broke!
It broke! Plus it wasn't really efficient for my situation. Had to install it a bit high so the towels wouldn't catch on the dish soap bottle, so it was a stretch for me to use it.

Pleased with purchase!
Very happy with this purchase. After reading reviews from other buyers, I was a little leery about purchasing. Glad I did! Fits nicely to the side of my stainless steel refrigerator with black textured sides. I mention this, cause I would not recommend using the magnets on actual stainless steel. However, with having the textured black sides to mine, I have no problem with placing it on the side of my fridge. Does not slide at all when placing or removing my kitchen towel like some buyers had mentioned. Maybe I got lucky! I will note, I do not use for two towels like the product states it holds because the placement of the bars would mean the bottom towel would be against your fridge. This may work for some, but not for me. My kitchen hand towels measure 15" in width when opened, so by folding in half the rack easily holds a 7.5" towel. If towel is left opened and hung, then it is a little scrunched up and not as attractive looking. I note that, because one buyer said the rack was not even capable of holding a handkerchief! I don't know what size hand towels the buyer may be using, but I found with most standard sized kitchen towels, this isn't the case. In closing, it is what it is............a magnetic towel rack and I like mine very much.

Not bad if you are handy and willing to fix it up a bit
Having read the reviews I decided against purchasing this item, however my wife liked this one best (based on looks) so we ended up purchasing this towel bar anyhow. The price wasn't too bad so I didn't put up much of a fight. It is a nice looking unit and it does work well with a couple caveats. A wedge shaped piece of metal attaches to the wall and the towel bar slides over the wedge. The fit is too loose so the towel bar is very wobbly unless something is done to tighten the fit. One reviewer shimmed his with toothpicks. I took the wedge back off the wall and bent it slightly outward so the fit would be tighter. The end result is a nice tight fit with no wobble. The other big issue is the way the hinge is designed. This towel bar is made from only 5 separate pieces, the base that hangs on the wall which has a threaded hole, the 3 arms, and a center screw that functions as an axle and forms the top cone. There are no washers, no bushings and no way to lock the screw/axle in place. The result is that moving any one arm tends to move the other arms and also loosen the screw causing the whole thing to sag and get all wobbly. The design is flawed but workable. I put Loctite on the screw threads and plan to use the towel bar more like a fixed rack to be moved infrequently. If you need to swing the arms out of your way on a regular basis you are going to need to figure out some kind of fix for this issue because otherwise the center screw will come loose on you. If you are handy this is a nice looking and inexpensive option. If you are not handy you might want to take a pass on this one...

Excellent magnet strength

Obviously very simple to install. However the magnets are too weak and so the holder slides down the surface, even with you items hanging. It is not even remotely fit for purpose

porte serviette aimanté , vraiment aimanté, tient parfaitement sur ma machine à laver. Il a 2 barres, ce qui est très pratique. Côté qualité, il a l'air pas mal, à voir à l'usage, mais apparemment il est bien fini. Pour le côté déco, il est sobre mais efficace, ce qui est le principal. Je recommande ce produit.
