This standing paper towel holder by simplehuman elevates a basic utility item into a modern multitool. Constructed from brushed stainless steel, the design feels premium and weighty, offering a stable grip even when tugging at larger towel rolls. 

The tension arm is well-calibrated, enabling one-handed operation while preventing roll unraveling. Its spray pump is seamlessly integrated, activated by a downward push to dispense a fine, consistent mist - ideal for wiping up spills or prepping surfaces.

The 6 oz spray reservoir supports over 175 pumps per fill, and is compatible with simplehuman’s proprietary cleaning tablets or other standard solutions. A clever detail is the spring-loaded lock mechanism for the spray bottle, which secures it in place and prevents accidental dislodging. The pump sprays smoothly and is ergonomically designed for comfort, though some find the unit top-heavy when the bottle is removed from the base.

While functionally superior to standard holders, it’s priced well above average for its category. Those expecting long-term durability may want to note occasional reports of sprayer wear after several months, which might necessitate a replacement component. Still, for its dual-purpose design and high-end finish, it offers practical luxury for those willing to invest.
