'No counter clutter': This magnetic paper towel holder is $12 (that's 45% off)

Sometimes, you come across an unassuming, everyday product with a fresh spin that makes you go, "Well, that's just genius." I had that experience this morning when I was scrolling through Amazon and happened upon the Katzco Magnetic Paper Towel Holder. Now, I write about home and kitchen products for a living, so trust me when I say it takes a lot for something as seemingly inane as a paper towel holder to get my attention. But this one caught my eye, first with its industrial-chic look, and then because I saw the word "magnetic" in its name.

This nifty find was designed to stick to your fridge or any other magnetic appliance to save counter space, and because it comes in two parts, it's adjustable too. Pretty clever, but you know what's really appealing? The fact that it's currently on sale for $12 (down from $22).

Why is it a good deal? 💰

According to our price trackers, this paper towel holder has never been on sale for less, so at 45% off, this is a worthwhile deal. There are other magnetic holders on the market, but the majority of them aren't adjustable to fit rolls of different lengths the way this one is.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Equipped with three high-grade magnet pads on each side, the Katzco was designed to stay in place, and reviewers say it does just that (unless you yank really hard). Because the magnets have rubber coatings, they won't scratch up the surface they're stuck to. And while they're strong, it's easy enough to move them around, should you want to attach the holder to your washer, grill or any other appliance.

While not having to drill holes into your walls is enough to warrant making room in your cart for this, it's also conveniently adjustable to fit all types of rolls — just space the two sides apart as much as needed. Speaking of rolls, you could also use this for holding aluminum foil, parchment paper, plastic wrap and more.

Just note that not all appliances are magnetic, so you'll want to make sure it's compatible with any surface you plan on sticking it to ahead of time.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 3,300 Amazon customers say this kitchen accessory is on a roll.

Pros 👍

"Love this!" exclaimed one happy buyer. "What a great idea ... It's tucked away, no counter clutter or drilling into your cabinets."

"This thingee is great!" gushed another. "It has a very strong magnet and sticks beautifully to the side of my fridge. Super easy to use and holds any size roll of paper towels. It could be used to hold a lot of other things if you choose to use it as a pair of simple hooks."

"Have been using this for a year, works perfectly," raved a third. "The only trouble is that we now use paper towels twice as fast because they are so accessible. [I] tried it with Saran Wrap, and it also works. You just have to keep scissors nearby and tuck a tiny corner under so you can find the end. (Recommended for refrigerator, not grill.)"

Cons 👎

"The magnet definitely delivers!" said a mostly pleased shopper. "It securely holds a roll of paper towels." That said, they added, "It will slip slightly if the paper towel is forcefully jerked straight down to tear it loose, but does not fall off. I do wish it stuck out slightly more so a triple roll would turn smoothly when new."

"My only negative is that the screws that hold the bars on the side (which shows) are silver and the rest of the holder is black," wrote a final reviewer. "I wish other colors were an option too."

If you've been coveting the under-cabinet lighting that seems to be in every house on HGTV, there's a near-instant way to achieve the effect without hiring an electrician. These No. 1 bestselling, battery-operated LED strips are magnetic and stick right onto metal surfaces, but included adhesives also allow you to attach them to wood, etc. Oh, and they're motion-sensor lights, which will come in handy when you go to get a midnight snack. 

"These are fantastic!" exclaimed a fan. "I have them in every closet that doesn't have an overhead light, and my pantry. They are charged right out of the box and hold a charge forever. Easy to install and the brightness is perfect — you can adjust that too. I love how you can pop them off the magnets and use them like a flashlight. My friends and family loved them so much that they bought them too."
