Very strong and absorbent

Big rolls and absorbs well!

Great product. Great price

I really wanted to like these paper towels because the price is great and they are very strong, but they leave much to be desired as far as absorbency is concerned. Liquids seem to be their kryptonite and will not soak in unless I use 3 or 4 at a time and that's extremely wasteful. I do, however, like that each roll is in its own packaging. Going forward, I will likely spend a few extra dollars for the brand that rhymes with county.

Wiping spilled cola, Cleaning oil off of a dipstick, drying the tears of those I debate, dabbing the wounds of my forgiven enemies, removing grease from my chin as I ponder the troubles of machines, I don’t clean up spilled milk because milk is for babies, transporting egg shells from one location to the trash can, dipped in glue you can repair a tear in a speaker, dust removal, washing less than two dishes, confusing apes at the zoo or in public, etc.

Who would think there'd be something to review about paper towels? But having lived through the hunt-and-hoard days of Covid-19 era shopping, I've learned that, yes, there is definitely a difference in paper towels. Some are scratchy, some are non-absorbent, some rolls are very small, some rolls don't really fit on your paper towel holder ( or in the space you typically keep it) some, when dampened, disintegrate in your hand.) Member's Mark Paper towels are none of the above. This is a decent paper towel that does what you bought it for. Perhaps not as soft as Bounty, but so what? It's a paper towel, not a bath towel.

For 40 of our 43 years of marriage, I would only buy Bounty paper towels. (The first three years, money was too tight for anything other than "bargain" paper towels.) Earlier this year, I couldn't find Bounty select-a-size where I normally buy it, so my husband offered to look at Sam's since he has other things he was going there for. He texted me that Sam's had them and was I okay getting 15 rolls (instead of the 9 or 12 I always bought). I said sure, as long as it was select-a-size rather than full sheets. For almost 6 months, I used the ones he bought and never once did I suspect they were not Bounty. Recently, he warned me that we were getting low on paper towels (you know, like down to our last 4-5 rolls). I checked online and it said our none of the Sam's near us had Bounty in stock, but I could order them- with free delivery- but it was back to being 12 rolls to a pack. During the discussion of waiting to see if they were back in stock soon VS ordering them (which meant wasting a huge cardboard box for shipping) he said "Member's Mark", and I said "NO, BOUNTY! I only buy BOUNTY". He said, "You may only buy Bounty, but you've been using Member's Mark for months now. You told me I could get them as long as they were select-a-size, and these are." I wanted to get angry that he had twisted my words to his advantage, but the truth is that I had no idea because these towels are every bit as strong and absorbent... and there is a substantial saving in price. 15 rolls w/ 150 sheets per roll for $17 -- or 12 rolls w/120 sheets per roll for an extra two dollars. Here's the math: (15 x 150 = 2250) - (12 x 120 = 1440) = 810 fewer sheets for more money! You aren't just getting three extra rolls of Member's Mark, you are getting almost TEN MORE ROLLS; meaning these paper towels are HALF the cost (of an equivalent amount) of the other towels.

These Super Premium Towels are a solid choice for everyday household use. Each roll has 150 sheets, and with 15 rolls in the pack, they really do last a long time. I found them to be strong and very absorbent—great for cleaning up spills in the kitchen, wiping down counters, or even handling bigger messes. They don’t tear easily when wet, which is a big plus.

I ditched the name brand ones for these member mark select a size. Is it as absorbent as bounty? No. However, we mostly use it for drying our hands, which I find a half size sufficient for. Otherwise I usually use a rag for spills anyways. If you primarily use to clean spills, there are more absorbent options out there.

I was looking for a less expensive alternative to Bounty. I have an elderly dog who relieves themselves on the kitchen ceramic tile floor. These paper towels do not absorb as well as Bounty; therefore I have to use twice the amount of these towels to get the job done. These are ok for other small jobs. It’s back to Bounty for me.
