4.0 out of 5 stars 150 Sheets per Roll, June 28, 2010
By 
This review is from: Bounty Huge Roll, White, 8 Count (Health and Beauty)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
If you decide to buy this product, you should be aware that these rolls are HUGE. In case you missed it in the description, these 8 rolls equal 20 of the regular Bounty Rolls Bounty Regular Roll, White, 1 roll (Pack of 30)

Comparing the current prices of the regular size and this size, per paper towel, you save a huge amount! And, as you are aware, Bounty is a very high quality paper towel. And, in this large size, the price compares nicely to even the cheaper paper towels, making it a great bargain!

I consistently use Bounty and Brawny Pick-A-Size Paper Towels, 15 BIG ROLLS (Equals 20 Regular Rolls) for my big jobs. I enjoy Brawny because you can tear off smaller (or larger) pieces, but I really don't like buying it at nearly double the cost of these!

I put one roll in my kitchen, where I have been cleaning up a lot of messes ... and still have most of the roll left. I took a second roll with me to Vacation Bible School where we've been cleaning up even bigger messes and spills, and the roll seems as huge as ever!

If you have a huge job coming up, or just like to have a big store of paper towels on hand, I feel that this is a wonderful choice!

Note - The reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 stars.
It says it fits MOST towel holders - I have a stand up one on the counter, and it did not fit mine. :-( so to make my counter look neat and use these, I have to buy a new Paper Towel Holder.

4.0 out of 5 stars Side by Side vs. Kirkland Signature, July 14, 2010
By 
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
As I am a complete dork, and decided to review paper towels for vine, I decided to test these paper towels against the Kirkland signature brand (from Costco).

Dimensions:
Bounty Huge Roll:
Rolls: 12
Sheets: 130
Sheet dimensions: 11" (high) x 10.4"
Total square feet: 1239

**Updated to Reflect Sheets/Roll Decrease from 90-80
Kirkland brand:
Rolls: 12
Sheets: 80
Sheet dimensions: 11" (high) x 14"
Total square feet: 1026

Note: at this update Kirklands cost per square foot(in-store) was .016 cents(+ tax) whereas Bounty on Amazon is .027 (+tax in some areas). However to get the convenience of online shopping (at least at the moment) you'd have to buy the kirland from a reseller, and the one on amazon brings the price up to .029/sq foot.

In order to evaluate both products I tested both products for water retention, use in cleaning up a spill with repeated wringing of the towels, and scrubbing of a spot on an abrasive surface (a carpet in this case). My goal was to establish which towel provides the best value and will preform best at normal, towely (I know thats not a word) tasks.

Water retention:
To test water retention I weighed a dry towel from each roll. I then soaked each towel in water and reweighed them. To account for the difference in size of the sheets I calculated a ratio of retention per square inch. Without boring anyone with the math, there did not appear to be any appreciable difference in water retention per square inch between the two rolls. Obviously the Kirkland towels held more water on an absolute basis, but basically they were the same.

Towel Sponginess:
I used each of the towels to clean up 1 cup (8 oz.) of cranberry juice, spilled on my kitchen floor, squeezing the towels out into the sink and then reusing them until the spill was cleaned up. I then rinsed and squeezed them out a few times to see if they could be made clean enough to actually rid the floor of any residue.
Again, both towels faired evenly. Each towel was more than up to the task of soaking up the spill and repeatedly wringing out the towels did not seem to have any effect on their integrity, or cause them to fall apart. Also neither towel was clean enough afterwards to make me feel that I could "clean" the floor with it, so I ended up using a second piece for this purpose. I did notice that the Bounty towel felt thicker than the Kirkland towel.

Scrubbing:
On an abrasive surface a difference became clear. After carefully wetting the towel and rubbing at a spot on the carpet the Kirkland towel began to fall apart, holes formed in the towel, the paper began to fray, essentially it wasn't up to the task. The Bounty roll on the other hand showed surprising durability, with just one sheet I was able to really scrub at a spot on the carpet, and only really vigorous scrubbing for a solid 30 seconds or longer began to cause the sheet to develop holes. It did not however fall apart in the same way as the Kirkland roll.

Conclusion:
From a price perspective they are both good values, a 12 pack of costco brand rolls cost around $18 and is therefore a better value if you are already a member, but its not worth it if your not. Meanwhile the Bounty huge roll costs $25 (perfect for super saver shipping), and no membership is required. I do find the smaller size of the Bounty sheets to be annoying. If I'm honest with myself I have to say that I usually don't wring out paper towel rolls when cleaning up spills and the smaller size of the bounty sheet always seems to be just a little too small for the job. I wish they would either alternate half sheets or make the sheets a little longer, because I end up using two sheets where one Kirkland sheet, or one and a half bounty sheets would do (this is why I docked a star). Overall though the bounty proved to be the better product, for scrubbing and that counts for a lot, also, its cheaper than buying 30 individual rolls of bounty (~$27 at the time of posting), and much more efficient (unless you have 30 rooms that need paper towel).

5.0 out of 5 stars YAY! Love It! Love More, Love the Time Saved!, July 5, 2010
By 
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I'm a bulk buyer. I admit that I do it for the value it represents, both in money and time. AND right now, these Bounty Huge Rolls are a great deal.

Timewise, I love that I can buy these --this current lot came via Amazon's Vine program, of course-- put them in the basement and not have to make multiple trips to the grocery store, lugging bulky paper towels to and from the car. This is especially true as we don't use many and 12 of these huge rolls should last us a year.

As for the size of the rolls, I think they're great. Being positively stingy with my time, I don't have to refill so often and I appreciate that. (I buy super sized TP as well because it annoys me to have to frequently refill :)

As for Bounty Towels, I know there are cheaper brands per foot, but in our experience is isn't worth buying them. For our spills, paint jobs, cat hairballs, etc., Bounty works better. You can scrub, rinse, squeeze out, and reuse most of the time. Which is definitely better than going through inferior towel after towel.

As for shipping, mine came in a large box with a long piece of wadded up paper. I don't know why the paper was there because the rolls are in a there own individual plastic cover, inside the larger plastic carrying cover, and it's unlikely that it could anything to protect the towels. (The kids flattened the paper out and drew on it. They are currently using the box as either a Tardis or a boat.)

THE only thing I could think that could make this better is that they have a pick-a-size option. Lets face it, some jobs are only half-a-sheet large, and we eco-frugal people only want to use the least we product we can.

  1. I advise the slow load method. I believe the danger of side effects and strain on your detoxing system is not worth the faster results of the quick load. CREATINE Let's be honest, one month isn't very long to wait anyway. If you've been working out for some time you've in all likelihood realised that getting strong and big is a long process, not measured in weeks or months but in years. Be patient, and do what's best for your long term development.
