does the paper towel roll just slide onto the center rod or what?

Yes. There is enough extra space on the center rod so that the roll does not slide off. I've been using it for a while now, and I really like it. My old one had a magnetized plastic backer which always appeared dirty. There is really nothing to get dirty with this one.

It loads from the back. So, you can either put it forward enough to fit the roll from the back or just pull it off the dryer each time you load and unload (which would take all of two seconds).

Yes. I tested it and it does fit two rolls. It is a little snug against the wall, but so is the paper towel role.

I have no trouble with my paper towels rolling loose. The roll seems to fit pretty snugly between the ends. I agree with the measurements from first person who replied.

It works with single and double rolls and does not rub against the wall with either. Just tilt out the arm slightly for the double roll and it holds its position.

No. You can stuff a normal "American" size paper towel roll in there. Normal foil rolls and wrap don't fit until you have used a quarter of them.

The unit is comprized of three major components. The towel bar(1) and the suction ends(2). Each suction end has a hole in which the bar is sliped through.Once this is done there are two caps put on the bar so it will not slip back out again. It comes completely assembled. Can you take the ends off and shoreten the bar? Probably at your own risk, but i would not risk it. I been a great product for me.

It does have a center however it is very long approx 5 ft so it would likely need a custom roll. It is heavy and bulky. I leave mine in the box it came in, in the garage and lay it on a large table or the floor to wrap my items. It is somewhat see-through so I double wrap sometimes. Hope that helps!

I mounted my paper towel holder on the underside of a cabinet with the curve facing forward. I would think that when wall mounting the holder, deciding whether to have the curve up or down would just be a matter of what looks most pleasing to you personally.

The top of the roll does not sit above the rubber ball and comes out as you pull. The lower part rubs the paper roll on the edge of the holder. This holder is not designed for vertical mounting.

The end knobs do not screw off. The bar with the end screws rolls on.It is a great paper towel dispenser and pretty nice.

I've used one both at home at now we have one at the office. Have never had the roll come off. I have one one rubber cap come off on the one at home but a little super glue and now it's all good. Because it is metal if your towels aren't tight enough you could give one end a little bend in. But we've had no issues at the office and we go thru a roll in about two days.

The process is to put the top piece in the holder on one side of the bottom piece, then bend the top piece enough so it fits into the holder on the other side of the bottom piece. The way I accomplished this was to roll up a towel and bend the top piece over that, then pull the towel out. I do not have enough strength to bend the top piece by hand, but with the towel I did it. It works fine.

I love it. The reason I bought it was my husband seemed to break every other "easy load" kind that I had. The roll has never fallen off mine. You stretch it slightly as you install a roll, but not enough to bend it. It lets the roll turn freely, however, so occasionally I try to snatch a towel and it lets several roll off. That's just when I'm in a hurry and don't watch what I'm doing. Hope this helps.

whats a 'large' roll? in the world of paper towels large doesnt mean much. how about this. what is the largest diameter of roll that will fit in this without it rubbing?

I slide mine behind my horizontal towel bar with the towels hanging down.. Also, if you stand it up it is easier to pull the towels out.

The paper towel roll just slides onto the bar. Nothing needs to be removed.
