You know when you see something, but youโre not sure if its cool, or just terribly over-designed? The CLEANCut Paper Towel Dispenser is kind of like that. In fact, weโre STILL trying to figure out if weโd buy it because it works so well, or because itโs just fascinating enough to be the greatest kitchen-centered conversation piece youโre likely to ever own. Itโs like those refrigerators with LED displays and Wi-Fi built in. Theyโre obscenely over-engineered, but their still pretty cool to play with.
CLEANCut Paper Towel Dispenser Features
The CLEANCut is a device that, quite simply, uses any type of standard paper towel roll and then allows you to advance it and cut it using photo-electric beam relaysโฆ Thatโs fancy for โwave your hand to roll it out, wave your hand somewhere else to tell it to cutโ. But in a nutshell, thatโs the CLEANCut. Itโs new, innovative, and completely ridiculous unless you just love that sort of thing.
And, come on, admit itโฆ you sort of do. The CLEANCut Paper Towel Dispenser starts at $139.95 and comes in White or Black or you can opt for the stainless model for $20 more. Here are the basic features:
- White, Black or Stainless steel accent strip
- Use your favorite brand of paper towel
- State of the art LED technology for fast and easy one hand operation
- Prevents cross contamination
- Dispense and cut to any length regardless of perforation
- Safe and reliable self sharpening cutter
- Simple to install under the cabinet
- Dimensions: 16โณ x 6.5โณ x 11.5โณ
- Weight: 6.6lbs
CLEANCut Paper Towel Dispenser Installation and Use
Installation was indeed easy, largely because all of the required hardware was included and there was a full template for the mounting holes we drill into the cabinet from above. The CLEANCut Paper Towel Dispenser is extremely safe and secure when properly installed and it wasnโt long before we just loaded up a roll of paper towels (not included, lol) and tested it out.
Well, whatdya know โ it worked perfectly right from the get-go.
Touch free paper towel dispensing. It may not be impressive to you, but if youโve ever attended one of my barbecue parties or eaten hot wings with the guys, youโll discover very quickly how convenient it truly is. Add to that a house full of sick children and it doubles down. At $140 or $160 for the stainless upgrade theย CLEANCut Paper Towel Dispenser isnโt cheap, but this isnโt being marketed to people who would have trouble dropping that kind of money on a device thatโs this interesting. Conversation piece, health-saving device, convenience tool โ you decide, but the CLEANCut Paper Towel Dispenser is certainly interesting and one of a kind.


I donโt know if you folks are still around, but I bought that Cleancut dispenser around 2010 and it is still working in my kitchen in 2026! I have found that they are not in business anymore, and I would love to get my hands on another 1 or 2 but have had no luck finding someone to talk to. I could sell these all day long! People are astounded when yhey see mine and want one!
eBay is not much help. This is a fabulous item. My pet peeve is, as an avant cook, having a paper towel dispenser sitting on the counter is unwanted. It gets dirty and grabbing for paper towels is messy. I canโt emphasize how fabulous this machine is!
Can you help me please find the maker? Thank you.
Hi Grace! I wish we could help. We loved that product when it came out! Alas, as with many unique products like that, it seems to have disappeared from the market.
Thereโs literally nothing like it. In fact, the closest thing I can find is something that simply obscures the roll under the cabinetโbut still requires you to tear off the sheets: https://amzn.to/49zPg4i
Nuts! Thx. I would love to find the inventor and encourage him to build again.
