Out of the thousands of 5-star reviews, plenty of shoppers have been quick to sing the praises of this Amazon laundry basket. One thrilled customer shares: “I’ve been using the SAMMART 42L Collapsible Laundry Basket for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly a game changer for saving space. It’s lightweight, pops up easily when I need it, and folds down flat when I don’t — perfect for small homes. The handles are sturdy enough for a full load of laundry.”
They do share one gripe with the basket, writing: “Only thing to note: it’s not as rigid as a traditional basket when it’s fully loaded, but that’s the trade-off for the collapsibility. Overall, super handy and the white/grey color looks nice and clean too!”
Another buyer beams: “Love this as takes up so much less room than our last non-collapsable basket. Was a little stiff to use at first but easy now.”
And a third gushes: “This is brilliant. Light weight but sturdy and takes up no room at all.”
