If you’re into sorting, Solomon suggests buying one in black and another in white to color-code your lights and darks.
LAUNDRY SORTER WITH TOP PLUS
(Just note that if you fill it to the very top, it might not close completely and becomes harder to carry.) The fact that the Tower can fold is another plus when your laundry day’s done. I’ve had the chance to try the Tower, and it’s well made - the fabric tote feels sturdy enough that it won’t rip, even if it occasionally overflows. It “stores more laundry than you think it might,” she says. Aesthetically, it’s a hamper “that doesn’t really scream hamper,” Solomon adds, applauding the “sleek, no-nonsense, minimalist” look. Structurally, the hamper features a foldable steel frame and an interior insert at the bottom of the bag to keep the shape when you lug it to the washing machine. Yamazaki’s stellar reputation (its small- space- specific homewares have appeared all across our archives), combined with the smart design of the hamper itself, earned the Tower our “best overall” trophy. Material: Steel, polyester | Size: 25.2” x 11.81” x 14.17” | Design: Collapsible, X-shape folding frame, handles Below, you’ll find recommendations ranging from a Rubbermaid hip-hugger that’s “meant to be flung around” to a handsome (and stackable) Hay basket.
LAUNDRY SORTER WITH TOP PROFESSIONAL
So I asked experts - including professional organizers, cleaners, and one Strategist editor - about the laundry baskets and hampers they consider favorites. (It’s also a superior solution to a “ clothes chair.”) The right hamper should hold plenty while still being easy enough to carry, which isn’t the simplest balance to strike - I remember one of mine almost completely falling apart in a dorm-room hallway (I had to drag it back rather inelegantly). It’s a real workhorse, separating the dirty from the clean. But I’d argue that your hamper or laundry basket is just as important as the other essentials you haul to the laundromat (or to your in-house washer and dryer). Here at The Strategist, we’re quite obsessive about our laundry, trying out everything from actress Piper Perabo’s favorite detergent sheets to a no-rinse soap that helps slash annual dry-cleaning bills. It comes fully assembled and I have noticed no deterioration in the joints or wheels in the four months I've been using it for once-a-week laundry day." - Jessica PeckĬheck out a similar hamper that comes with a removable liner.Having a productive laundry day comes down to the tools you use. Then I roll the hamper to my apartment and dump the clothes on the bed for folding. This hamper is incredibly useful for evicting clothes from an upper-level stacked dryer - it can just roll up to the dryer bank and is wide enough to dump clothes directly from the dryer into the hamper without having to first dump into a laundry cart and then pack into a bag or cart.
LAUNDRY SORTER WITH TOP FREE
I could have sewn a large drawstring bag with cheap fabric for this purpose (with the same dimensions as the bag above) but my free time is rare/expensive these days. If you're shy about having the top open for all to see, the liner bag allows for a drawstring closure while you transport your laundry. I have lined the hamper with a heavy-duty canvas laundry bag so that I can wash the liner about once a month. The wheels do not squeak but are roll easily on carpet or hard floors. It gets over the door thresholds easily and the grab handles on the sides make it easy to pull behind you - I've always found push carts awkward.
The hamper allows me to drag two industrial front-load washer loads of laundry from my apartment to the laundry room via elevator. Promising review: "I live in a high rise elevator building in NYC with a laundry room on a separate floor. Price: $26:99+ (available in four colors, also in a double version) It doesn't smell, my clothes don't smell, and it still works and looks great! I wish it'd go on sale more often as I'd like to pick up a couple more." - Chris F. I've been using this every day for almost six months now. I let it air out for a day or so and it's been completely fine. I have a fairly sensitive nose (I can smell the kitty litter two floors up at times), but I opened this up and it had a bit of the standard new product/chemical smell. Other reviewers complain about the smell, I didn't really have that problem.
It has two handles for easy transport to your laundry room. Its lid closes well and helps keep the smell of dirty clothes to a minimum. The two sides fold in so it can collapse flat. It is pretty strong, I haven't sat on it or anything, but you can put other hampers on top of it if need be for some time and not worry about it collapsing. It looks good in your bedroom so you don't have to hide it like some cheap ones.
Promising review: "This is a great hamper.
