How wide does it open up to? I'd like to be able to reach things like toilet tissue rolls or paper towels...

George, I just tested it on a new toilet paper roll and a new paper towel roll. Worked great. I also measured the opening at the narrowest point where the grips are.....4 1/2 ". It's a nice grabber. Jill

It will pick up a toll of toilet tissue about 4.5 inches in diameter. It would not grab easily a roll of paper towels 5 inches in diameter unless grabbed around the top edge.....

It opens to 11.5 centimeters. You can easily pick toilet paper, paper towel rolls, as well as heavier items such as cans of food. We have a double row of kitchen cabinets and we take things from the upper row.

I've used it to reach high shelves for TP and paper towels. Works great! Even picks and hold canned foods from high shelf. About 5 inches... Use it all the time. My folks use it to grab newspaper from bushes or down icy steps. You will love it!

I just conducted an experiment. I was able to easily grab individual rolls of toilet paper. (Charmin Ultra strong Giant Rolls) but I had a harder time with the paper towels. I have very large towel roles and they are in plastic wrap. If they were not in plastic the nabber would have handled it easily. The full extent of the reach from grabber tip to grabber tip 6'1/2 outside to outside , and 5 inches at the narrowest distance between grabber pads.

The door when opened has a space which is approx 4 1/2 inches wide. The top shelf which is behind the open space is approximately 13" long and 5" in depth. The space below the shelf is approx 13 " long and 11" in depth. I can store 4 rolls of toilet paper in the space. Top shelf is deep enough to store hand soap, combs etc. Bottom shelf I use for hair spray, hand lotions etc.

I use it in my guest bathroom to hold bath towels, hand towels and wash clothes. The bath towels have to be folded a certain way to fit.

I do not know the exact openings of this unit but they are wide enough that the wands from my vacuum fit. All my mops, brooms, etc are no problem. If you need the exact measurement I can measure when I return home?

9 1/4 long and 5 inches wide. I would say depends- my kitchen type paper towel on a roll is 11 inches long. Holds regular paper guest towels with room to spare.

A Mega Roll will fit. Only occasionally will a roll pop off if you dispense the tissue too fast but rarely ever. It also depends on which way you face the opening and on which side of the toilet you install it.

When I received the holder it was too narrow to hold the roll of Toilet Paper. A friend pulled the two sides apart a little and now the paper can roll and be installed easily. I tried to pull it apart to make it a little wider and couldn't. Need someone pretty strong to do it. Now I can change rolls very easily.

Hi, there is 2 3/4" from the center of rod to the top of the holder. If Your roll of towels is 5 1/2" or less the holder should work, anything larger it won't. Rick

It's a clothespin style clamp so should be able to open wide enough to accommodate, but there's no maximum or recommended width provided by the manufacturer.

Not big enough for bath towels but maybe for hand towels, washcloth. I'm in the hospital, but the measurements were in the add.

I guess it depends on thickness and length. I imagine it could hold six to eight, maybe more. I use it for toilet paper, woman's personal pads, wipes, soap, etc. I can get a lot of stuff in there.

Yes and yes. There are a couple of pieces that would fit through a toilet paper roll, if that is the measure you use, but they are easily set aside.

I can fit a "regular" roll of towels. I have not tried to fit a "big" roll because I don't buy these jumbo rolls. There is no "spring" mechanism. The vertical bars that hold the roll is flexible enough to pull wide enough to insert your roll. I mount the dispenser under my kitchen cabinet, not against a wall that's why the holder part sits vertically and not horizontally as pictured.

Hand will most likely not fit. Opening is wide enough for cleaning without a problem

It's not adjustable length wise that I can tell, but I have smaller paper on it right now. I'm thinking of using an empty paper towel roll as a spacer.

I am guessing the spaces would be too small for a substantial bath towel. We have this in a second home, so I am unable to measure exact spaces at this time. Great thought though. Good luck.
