aroused my skepticism. Furthering my distrust was fact that it was an ‘As Seen on TV’ item. My experience with ‘As Seen on TV’ products wasn’t very promising. I had tried Kaboom, to very disappointing results, as well as Tap Light. My curiosity was piqued, but not my will to purchase product.
The Smart Spin Food Storage System organizes food containers using a compact design that doesn’t take up very much room. It is about size of a coffee maker, occupying 1 cubic feet of space. It consists of four slots, three of which store different sized containers and one slot solely dedicated to store lids. Smart Spin is made from plastic, but is durable and quite handy. The carousel rack spins and slides easily, providing ready access to food container you need. Internet and television ads claim that anyone can “find a container with a blindfold on”! I went on website to get testimonials. User reviews have been quite favorable.
Retailing for around $19.95 on TV Products 4 Less and available as a bid-item on Overstock Auctions website, Smart Spin Food Storage System comes with spinning carousel rack and 24 clear containers with lids that fit all container sizes. The containers come in an 8-oz, 16-oz, and 24-oz variety. The gadget is easy to assemble.
Using this device, I can reclaim valuable cabinet space for other kitchen gadgets, keeping all my food containers in a single space. I’ve decided this shall be tool that gets me finally organized way I’ve always wanted.
I went to my local As Seen on TV retail store and tested device. While still having reservations based on previous experience, I nevertheless took plunge and plunked down my $20 before opportunity to change my mind could present itself. I took home device, set it up on kitchen counter by toaster, and fell in love. It is so easy to set up, and I am no longer bothered by cheap plastic. I am now container-clutter free and loving every minute of it.
While I’m not advocating that this is cure for all container-challenged people, it is right solution for me, and soon I shall be off to purchase Smart Spin at my neighborhood retail store for my equally container-challenged sister.
