Whitmor Pop & Fold Laundry Sorter, Paloma Gray

I got this hamper so I can better sort my laundry, and didn’t have the $40+ to drop to buy a fancier hamper.
When this came in and I saw how thin and flimsy the mesh was, I was expecting this to tear and fall apart quickly.
To my surprise, not a single hole after many months. It’s much more durable than it looks.
The only downside of this product is when full, it’s difficult to carry because it is on the flimsier side. And the little plastic tubes on the bottom that hold the shape/structure do like to pop out of place. I wish there was a way to better secure them.
Other than that, for the price it’s a pretty good product and I have bought one for my parents too!

I ordered a lower-profile pop-up hamper and this one to compare them.
This one is deep, so each compartment can truly hold a load of of darks, whites, delicates, no-dryer-please, etc. I was going to try both types in the bedroom and bathroom to see what worked where, and my husband pounced on this one and sequestered it to use in the laundry room (yes, don’t be jealous, he actually likes to do laundry). Sure beats sorting the dirty clothes in piles on the floor. Years ago we had a heavy duty, canvas-bag compartmented-laundry sorter on wheels, but it took up a lot of space and the bags were so deep I had trouble reaching to the bottom. This pop up takes up less space, is easy to move around, and clothes don’t disappear into the mysterious depths of the old one. So this one is a yes for us.

O produto chegou bem rápido, bem embalado. Super prático e e bem espaçoso. Atendeu ao que eu precisava de fato.

This is a very handy item for small spaces or to use at a laundromat. It pops up and down within seconds. The reinforcing poles it comes with are handy but if you are like me, and you are just using it to sort your laundry and keep it neat while each load is run, you don’t need to use them. My first photo shows the hamper without the plastic poles inserted. The second photo is with them. The laundry inside is the exact same in both photos.
In my opinion, the hamper is not designed to be carried around full of laundry. The polls do firm things up a bit and make carrying a bit more solid and the handles are well stitched but they’re still very light, thin materials.
If you want something to carry your laundry to the laundromat, this isn’t it. If you want to use it as a sorter, it’s perfect.

The bars to hold the structure of the basket up only properly slid into one of four slots with both ends being fully covered, one slot was not even stitched to the edges so the base stick out quite a bit. This will probably tear the mesh after a few uses. Would definitely use for lightweight laundry – I air dry my clothes so there are few in total (about one full load of laundry) and they’re divided by colour into the 3 sections. If it were loaded with towels for example, I could easily see it tearing or snapping quickly. Overall functional and worth the price for what I needed it for, but it’s not fancy and will probably gain damages within first few uses. Will update review if anything I’ve written shows to be inaccurate.

I wanted to try this large hamper to see if our family would use it properly before I bought a $50 wooden one. No, my family didn’t use it so I won’t buy a big permanent hamper BUT, I still love this flimsy thing because when we go out of town, I can quickly get our loads of laundry sorted and off the floor. So- is it great for daily use? I don’t think so. It would probably not stand up to heavy use. But since it can fold up and be there when you need the extra space- it’s perfect. And it’s cheap. So 5 stars for what it does for me.

We took this on a 20 day cruise it was absolutely perfect, 3 compartments made it so easy when washing, clothes already sorted. Folded back into portable size for packing at end of trip.
