The diameter inside the hook that hangs over the door is 1 1/2 "
Customer Review:
My son's room is very small, and I've been looking for a compact clothes hamper for his dirty clothes for a few months. When I saw this, I was so excited! I received the order within a week, and love the product. Also, the open, mesh back allows wet items (like towels and washclothes) to air out and dry so they don't get moldy.
I am so happy I found this product. I live in a HDB, so space is limited. I have a hamper in my room, but I'm known for not taking my clothes from the bathroom to the room after my shower (if there is no hamper in the bathroom, I leave my clothes on the floor). I was looking for some hamper space-saver options. I looked into everything form micro-thin hampers to tiny ones, but my bathroom was even too small for those. When I found this, I said to myself "Well, at least it will be off the floor!". I was expecting it have very limited capacity or the mesh to give away with the weight of clothes. I am very happy to say that it holds my entire load and the materials are very durable! I have yet to see any type of wear from it. I comes with an "over the door" hook and the top of the bag is like a closet hanger, so you can also have one in your closet if you'd like. The best part is, it unzips from the bottom. So all I do is position my laundry bag under it and let all the clothes fall instead in instead of having to take it off the door and turning it upside down to empty it.
I love this hamper! I had previously used a similar over the door hamper with a plastic oval opening on top of the bag. Every time the door was moved, it would swing a little and make a lot of noise. This one is so quiet!! Also, the plastic ring would hit my arm if I was reaching in to grab something, causing me to stand on my tippy toes. This one has the elastic which makes it so much nicer!! Only the front of the bag is mesh, which will keep mud, dirt and mess from getting on the door. It also has a zipper on the bottom (which I didn't realize when I bought it) that allows me to slide a basket below it and dump everything quickly in one go!! LOVE that! The only reason I'm knocking off a star is because the hook that goes over the door is a bit thick, keeping me from closing my laundry room door. :( I simply started using the hanger from my previous hamper. I've only been using it a couple months, so I can't speak for it's longevity, but it's been fantastic!! I'm so glad I bought it and will be getting another! Highly recommended!!
I've used this for a couple of months now and had no problems. I recommend it for anyone that doesn't have space for a hamper on the floor, in a closet, or etc.- basically anyone who doesn't have much space.
Installation is easy, took no time and no tools. The bag hangs down, open, and you toss clothes in it. They won't fall out. When it gets full, you take the bag (hanger and all) off the rack (no effort required) and carry it down to your laundry room or laundromat. I suspect you can wash the bag in the laundry with your clothes, if you're so inclined, though I haven't done it.
Some very slight negatives: when the bag is completely empty, it does rattle when you open and shut the door. This stops as soon as there are dirty clothes in it, and isn't much of a problem. Also, I have no idea what the zipper on the bottom is for; I guess you could hold it above the washer, unzip it, and watch the clothes fall out? But you could also just turn it over? I don't know.
I have been using this for several months and am very satisfied with my purchase. So far it seems to be holding up - even though I stuff it completely full of clothes before emptying. I especially like the zipper at the bottom so I can empty my clothes into the laundry basket to take the laundry room. I also like that the product is made of mesh so I can see what's in the laundry. The only problem I had is that the original room where I planned to use this did not have enough space between the door and the frame for the hook - but that is no fault of the product. If you are looking for a laundry bag to hang on a door, I highly recommend this product.
For months I've searched for a suitable over-the-door laundry bag. Each one I found had something wrong with it. It either came out too far from the door, didn't hold nearly enough or just seemed cheap/flimsy. This one is exactly what I wanted. It's roomy enough for a lot of laundry -- approximately an average-sized washer load -- and it's sturdy enough to hold it without straining the fabric or the hanging device. If I ever need another one, I would purchase this one again.
