Household Essentials 2027-1 Pop-Up Collapsible Mesh Laundry Hamper | Charcoal

Makes an excellent saltwater fly fishing line basket. I fish on a skiff and my line gets blown all over , so when I strop the line I strip it into this basket. It collapses so I can store it in my boats storage compartment while moving. I took a piece of clear 1/2 tubing and filled it with ball bearings and sealed it and pit it in the bottom to weigh it down. It is better than the $ 300 plastic ones sold at marine shops and will not blow over. First set was stolen by my daughter for her dorm room in college. In addition, makes a fine laundry basket, according to my daughter :)

This has been a good product for the month we have had it. We had a similar mesh hamper before this one and it broke by holding it from the top; I am worried that it could happen with the new hamper. Try to hold it from the bottom when loaded. But if you do not put a lot of clothes in the hamper you might not have to hold the hamper from the bottom. The hamper is wide and short. The hamper breathable so if you have stinky clothes the hamper will not really stink. The hamper is light weight so it is easy to transport around the house. (written by my 7 year old, who is a big fan!)

Second one that we have purchased; the first lasted our now-teenage son from age 12 thru 13 before it disintegrated. Two years use for about 10 bucks... can't argue with that at all. Typically it gets filled about halfway up then carried down one flight of stairs to our laundry room to be off-loaded in the washer. The added bonus is it's round shape, as we kinda conned our son into feeling like a hoops star by 'making a basket' at the end of each night as the day's dirty clothes flew into the hamper. Granted, that worked a bit better when he was 12 than now that he is 14, but it still got him out of the habit of leaving a mound of dirty clothes mid-floor. Our expectations for this hamper are the same as the first one; a year or so of pristine condition, followed by wear on the handles and rubs & frays on the mesh, eventually followed by wear through of the mesh and finally a loss of function. But, that took about 24 months last time, which equates to a distributed cost of about 38 cents per month of its lifetime. Can say that, unlike the comments from a couple others, we don't let this hamper get to the point of being crammed packed before making our son go do a load... this one is not made to take heavy weight or much stress on its sides. Treat it nicely and it should last as long as ours did the first time. Is it worth that 38 cents per month cost? You betcha. Highly recommended for what it is -- a nice looking, simply made mesh hamper that does not break the bank. If looking for something similar and have similar expectations, go for it.

works good!

I had a similar large hamper that broke after many years of use. This hamper is tall, narrow enough, but still holds a good bit. I’ve gone through many other hampers.. solid plastic.. wicker.. wire framed with canvas.. and this is my preferred type of hamper. Wicker hampers are bulky, give mean splinters, and second as a cat scratching post. Solid plastic seem to hold in smells... plus I don’t remember when and where those jeans are I wore a few days ago. This hamper works well. It’s sturdy.. well made. When it’s empty my cats run in it like a hamster wheel (a hamper wheel?). In other words, it was just what I needed and so worth the money.

Fell apart immediately. I know these are very inexpensive, but I had bought the exact same ones before and they lasted about two years before the mesh tore. This set started breaking almost immediately. In about 6 months the wire started poking through and now it’s sticking out so far they are pretty much unusable (1 year later)

I purchased this hamper after seeing the other reviewer with the cats that love to play in the hamper. I have a black floof that loves to play in my other mesh hampers. In fact they have been played with so much they are basically annihilated. It was time to replace his "toy" and as soon as I saw the review I knew I had to get it. As you can see, he loves it. He will spend hours rolling around in it or just laying in it. As far as its intended use as a hamper.....it feels pretty sturdy and is a fairly nice size. It also has little toggles so you can collapse it for storage. I'm sure it would make for a very nice hamper, but I give it 5 stars as a cat toy!

I purchased this item in July 2025 by Oct 2025 the mesh stated to rip and as of Dec 2025 I had to throw away. The design is good, the material thickness isnt suitable for a hamper.
