We do question the material’s stain resistance, especially on the areas with white and light gray stripes, but any concerns we had about long-term discoloration were far outweighed by the hamper's reliable design. While it isn't machine washable, the cotton fabric has a water-resistant PEVA coating, which makes it easier to wipe down. It’s equipped with long handles that are comfortable to hold while carrying and sturdy enough to support the weight of several days' worth of laundry. For all of these reasons, and more, the HomeHacks Large Laundry Basket is our best overall choice for a laundry hamper.įrom the jump, we were impressed with this hamper’s well-constructed design, which has an iron frame to keep it upright and open.
We expect a lot of our laundry hampers-they need to be sturdy, spacious, and easy to use.
