Casa Hipster Laundry Basket Ice White (WT897/1)

Having struggled on for years with an irritating laundry basket with outward sloping sides which made it impossible for me to balance it on my hip and squeeze myself and the basket through the back door out to the clothes line, or indeed through the door from kitchen into garage where my condenser dryer is located, I thought it was about time I bought something more practical. I was quite glad when the old basket split. This new basket is absolutely ideal and I'm glad I bought two of them. They take up much less space in my small utility room than the old flared ones; they fit snugly against the body when carried full of damp washing so no problems negotiating the back door; they stack together very neatly, taking up very little room where they live on top of the washing machine and, being white, they blend in nicely in the utility room.It is true they don't fit under the door of the washer or dryer, but that's not important to me. If they were shorter, they'd have to be wider in order to take a full load, and I'd have the same problem as before, being unable to get me and the basket through the door. They are nice and compact yet still capacious. They are also made of sturdy plastic, unlike others on sale in supermarkets etc. I am confident they will outlive me. Doubtless folks will think me odd for waxing lyrical about the manoeuvrability of a laundry basket, but some things become more important as you get older! Good quality and value item for the price. Buy two - one for transporting wet washsing and another to store the dry laundry in whilst it awaits the iron.

Not only is this great value for money, but its also a very good laundry basket. Made of polypropylene, its tough (in the technical sense, strong and flexible so it absorbs knocks well and wont break). Its big enough for a laundry load, and light enough to not add to the weight when lugging laundry around. As others have mentioned, it is a little taller than others I have owned, but only by an inch or so, and my other ones didnt fit under washer or dryer doors either, so its just a quick flick to lift one corner and swing the door over the lowered side. The advantage of being taller is than its not as wide; again, the difference is small, but its enough to a) make it easier for my wife to carry it (previous one was just a bit of a stretch, so this is more comfortable for her to carry), and b) its a lot easier for me to walk through doorways without catching my knuckles (no comments please, just because I am male). There are no sharp edges, so its comfortable to handle. I was ever so slightly concerned that being SO cheap it might not be as good as other; I neednt have worried. What else can you say about a plastic basket. Well 'appy.

great washing basket

These boxes stack as said one on top of the other. They all have lids and you can sort of see what’s inside. The lids clip on well. I was a bit confused by the selling info which was talking about the top box. Any of them can be the top box. The first lot arrived rather damaged so I don’t think they are basically very strong but for storing children’s stuff they are not bad and should be alright if not bashed about. They store stuff and that’s what one wants.

This basket is really strong and well molded. The design is excellent with hand holds and shaping to carry on one side of the body. The previous comments about it being too tall to fit under the door of the washing machine is correct in the case of our machine but not a problem as the door hinges 180 degrees and you can move the basket in after opening the door and still transfer the washing through the door entrance. Highly recommended and good value for money.

This is exactly what I was looking for - a sturdy basket, big enough to hold a full load of washing such as bed sheets, and the curve for your hip is an added bonus! I've realised it was a little overpriced at £7.79 given I've now seen it elsewhere online for around £4.50, but nevertheless a good buy.

Smaller than I wanted but excellent quality especially for the money. I bought two!

A little friendly.
