AmazonBasics Quick Dry Hand Towels Cotton Reviews Summary

Softness and Texture

• "These are the softest, yet most absorbent bath towels I've had in over 65 years."
• "They are incredibly soft & very absorbent."
• "Very soft, thick, not cheap or scratchy."

• "Wonderful thick and soft washcloths that really hold and distribute the soap where you want it."
• "These washcloths are so thick and soft!"

Cons:

• "These towels are super thin, not at all absorbent, and just look like the bottom of the barrel."

• "Absorbed ok, the towels are on the thin side and not very soft."
• "Although they are very soft, so so with absorbing and decent quality they are NOT bath towels as described in title/heading!"
• "These towels are so thin and cheap, I am surprised they aren't pillow cases instead."
• "Super Cheap and Thin! I would NEVER recommend this towel."

Shedding and Durability

Pros:

• "We've been using them a few months now and they're still fluffy and absorbent."
• "This is my second purchase of these wash clothes. I first bought them 2 years ago and love them."
• "They are durable, too, as I’ve been using them for years and have yet to wear any of them out."
• "I have no idea what kind of washing machines the people who complain about excess shedding are using but my experience is not remotely like that. The towels came out of the wash and dry soft and without any excessive shedding."
• "Best towels I've ever bought. Ive spent a lot more for 'better high quality towels' and that was a huge waste. These are inexpensive, soft and absorbent and leave no lint on the body!"
• "Definitely withstood the test of time! The best towels that I have every bought for such a low price!"

Cons:

• "These towels are shedding blue fuzz and balls all-over anything else I wash or dry them with."
• "Towels shed large pieces of material after laundering per instructions."
• "Washed these towels for first time yesterday and lots of lint (strings of fabric) came off of them when taking towels from washer."
• "The hand towels seemed soft and nice, but when I washed them for the first time they shed an incredible amount of lint."
• "The towels had a horrible smell, washed them and they release an excessive amount of lint."
• "Multiple washes and drying cycles and these towels continue to shed large amounts of lint and material."
• "Holy cow. I've never seen towels that shed like these. I washed and dried twice and they still shed."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Let's face it, these towels are just over a buck each and that's a pretty fair price for any towel that's this nice."
• "Great towel from Amazon Basic line. Just like a cotton ball, soft and picks up water good."
• "Purchased for my own use so I was looking for inexpensive plain towels. Amazon Basics - perfect."
• "I highly recommend these towels are better than most Walmart and target towels!!"
• "For cheap towels they are surprisingly thick. Not super thick, but thicker than I would expect at this price. They're also very soft, impressively soft."
• "These towels are a great deal! In my house, hand towels often go missing or used for an unintended purpose and ruined."
• "I got them on sale for less than 6$ so I figured I had not to much to loose!!"

Cons:

• "I was quite satisfied with WhiteClassics towels, but wanted additional towels. I decided to try the Amazon Basics towels, which would give me eight towels for the price of six name brand towels. Bad idea."
• "These towels are fairly lame. Basic is right."
• "Very unhappy with this product, I’ve had it for over a month and washed it 4 times in hopes for the shedding to stop."
• "I received the towels this evening and washed them. Unfortunately, sometimes you get what you pay for and with these towels that's exactly right."
• "Opt to purchase something of better quality. A disappointment being their an Amazon product."
• "These towels are a waste - learn from my mistake and don't buy them. Got conned by the cheap price, won't make that mistake again!"
• "This towel set is definitely one thing Amazon hasn't done well yet."
