Paper napkins and towels have long been a part of our daily lives. They are convenient, durable and affordable. Most likely, every kitchen and bathroom already has a treasured roll. And to make using these hygiene products even more convenient, buy a special dispenser for napkins.

What is this?
Lately, we have been literally haunted by new names and devices. And the dispenser is no exception. This device can make your life easier and more comfortable. In essence, a dispenser is a device that dispenses something in specified portions. They can be intended not only for napkins or paper towels, but also for cling film or foil. There are models that harmoniously combine several functions at once.
It is the dispenser that turns the cooking process into a real pleasure. After all, you must admit, it is an unpleasant situation when towels are lying in the closet (as usual, so as not to interfere), and you need to wipe your hands or dry washed vegetables and fruits. So, thanks to the dispenser, the necessary towels or napkins will always be at hand, and you can take them with literally a slight movement of the hand.
By the way, the "place of residence" of such an accessory is not limited to the kitchen. It can be conveniently placed in the bathroom. And if we are talking about a compact device for napkins, then in the living room. For example, it can be a spectacular wooden chest, which will be both a functional interior detail and a decorative one. In addition, dispensers are in demand in cafes, restaurants, fitness centers, offices and other public places.
Benefits of Using Dispensers
Let's try to answer the question: why do you need a napkin or towel dispenser?
- Firstly, this way you can keep your hygiene products clean. A roll of towels or a pack of napkins will not get dusty and you will not have to hold the rest of them to tear off (or take out) just one napkin. Finally, the roll will not slip out of your hands and fall on the floor.
- Secondly, if you are the owner or employee of the company, you will not have to worry about napkins or toilet paper "evaporating" because a client borrowed them. Dispensers installed in public places have protection.
- Thirdly, a stylish dispenser will make the room even more prestigious.
Types
Dispensers differ both in the type of towel holding (both rolled and sheet, but folded differently) and in the way they are fed.
Devices for dispensing sheet towels, most often have a laconic design, and can be made in a "vandal-proof" way, that is, from metal alloys. Such devices are distinguished by very modest dimensions and easily fit even in a small toilet. Consumables for them are produced in packs of 150, 200 or 250 sheets. Folding can also be different (Z, V or W type).
An accessory for paper towels in rolls, as a rule, has more impressive dimensions, and is most often made of plastic. Such a dispenser has a very presentable appearance and will appropriately complement the sanitary rooms in respectable office centers. Devices of this type differ in the way the towels are pulled out: it can be horizontal or central. The second option is generally recognized as more hygienic, since there is no need to hold the device body, and such dispensers can most often be seen in medical centers.
By the way, the dispenser's voluminous shape is not a whim, but rather a feature of the consumable. After all, the towels are wound onto a core, the minimum diameter of which is 170 mm.
Another type of dispensers is a mixed one. Such models combine roll and sheet towels. This universal option is more in demand, however, its large dimensions must be taken into account, because not every sanitary room has the opportunity to place an additional voluminous "cabinet".
Electric models are also available. Their special feature is a button on the front panel that controls the knife that cuts the towels. The main advantage of such dispensers is the ability to use napkins economically. At the same time, the device operates absolutely silently.
Another option is sensory. Such devices work without touching, you just need to bring your hands and you will be “given” the required amount of hygienic cloth. This is the most convenient option for the kitchen, especially when there is a need to quickly wipe your hands without touching anything.
Finally, an achievement of scientific and technological progress, a voice-controlled device. We should note right away that the model is very expensive, although convenient. Therefore, installing it in an apartment is not the best solution. Moreover, in case of a breakdown, repairs will also be expensive.
Important! If you choose a device for home use, it is better to give preference to models where the consumable material in the dispenser containers for napkins is folded like V or W. Models with Z folding have a more complex device and are more expensive, so they are more often used for installation in public places.
There is another separate category of dispensers - a special system for disinfectant wipes. Usually the device includes a special container and a package of dry wipes, as well as a special water solution for moistening.
Materials
Perhaps the most popular are metal dispensers. They can be made of stainless steel or aluminum. Their distinctive features are durability and stylish appearance. Such dispensers are installed not only in the kitchen, but also in the bathroom. They effectively complement any interior. When choosing metal devices, pay special attention to the fact that fingerprints do not remain on them, as this spoils the appearance of the dispenser.
The second most popular material is plastic. Conscientious manufacturers use only high-quality raw materials that will last a long time and are absolutely safe. High-quality plastic does not emit harmful substances, does not have a characteristic "chemical" smell and does not change color over time. Plastic models are also appreciated for their lightness, because such a dispenser can be hung on the wall without worrying that the mount will not hold up.
Speaking about manufacturing companies, it is worth mentioning the products of Tork separately. The dispensers of this company are surprisingly diverse and functional. You are guaranteed to find a model that suits the size and style of your bathroom or kitchen. The range includes both plastic and metal dispensers. And the reasonable price of such household appliances is another argument in favor of Tork.
Of course, a dispenser for napkins, paper towels or toilet paper is not a necessity. But if there is an opportunity to make your everyday life even more comfortable, why not take advantage of it? And the stylish appearance of such a device will make your kitchen (or bathroom) even more modern and convenient.
