These paper towels are not highly absorbent, but they sure beat those air hand dryers! And they fit our Bay West dispensers since I cut notches in one end of the center core tube so they rotate when the dispenser handle is pushed. Our church saves about $25.00 per box by ordering through Amazon rather than buying them from our local janitorial supply dealer! Just remember to measure your dispenser to ensure they will fit.These are paper towel dispenser refills and they work as intended. They're not meant as household cleaning rolls similar to bounty, sparkle, brawny, etc... Their purpose is to dispense from the wall units that you find in gas station restrooms, rest stations, fast food chains, your local DMV, etc... They dry your hands after you wash them [with soap] in public places.I live in a college dorm in the city and I always put off buying paper towel because I don't enjoy lugging it around public transportation: allowing bystanders to make assumptions about what I'll be wiping up, the wine spills, there is a world of possibilities for what I could be doing with my paper towel and I won't allow anyone to answer those questions on their commute to work. I now have paper towel forever, but would definitely buy again.These are kraft rolls unlike the bleached white paper rolls. They are not as absorbent as most towels but lets face it, they are a budget towel usually purchased to simply dry hands. The color does not bleed out and they are strong enough to not break into tiny pieces as you pull them from the dispenser, We purchase roughly 4 cases a month and have never had a single complaint.Paper towel core was appropriate size for Bay West dispenser. Shipping time was acceptable. They were not slotted in the ends so dispenser had to be dismantled and altered to allow use of the product.We bought a house that had the dispenser in the basement, previous owner said they had not been able to find the towels to fit but left it up anyway. Amazon had them and the rolls of towels are easy to load and use. Had to buy a BIG case so I will probably have enough to last a lifetime but hey I never have to reorder them.These fit out paper towel holders well, they have the larger cardboard tube inside of them which some have small tubes for a proprietary dispenser, but these rolls fit our generic cheep dispensers. The towels do not have perforations as most dispensers have a cutter built in to them.They were a great price and we will be re ordering these in the future now.The towels are great, but they don't fit our dispensers. The width is accurate, but the dowel is too small. We have Bay West dispensers, but the design has apparently changed or there are multiple diameters. Since they do not present the dowel diameter in the specifications, there is no way of knowing this until you get them. Make sure you confirm the size of the dowel before ordering.
