The Zevro Canister Wall Mounted Dispenser

If tight quarters and limited counter space is a problem, look no further - here’s a kitchen device that is ideal. The Zevro Canister Wall Mounted Dispenser is available with a single or a triple canister. The canisters allow you to store and easily access your everyday dry goods. Recommended dry goods are coffee beans, pasta, dry beans, cereal and trail mixes. We also used rice in the dispensers as well.

The canisters have air tight lids and the dispenser has a rubber pinwheel seal at the bottom - which helps preserve the freshness longer, preventing dry goods from going stale. It also keeps your foods sanitary and germ-free with airtight freshness for up to 45 days. Each canister holds 1 liter or 13 ounces of dry food.

The portion control system allows you to dispense a measured amount of dry goods with ease. Each twist from the canister distributes roughly 1 oz of dry goods.

Each canister has a stylish contemporary design that compliments any kitchen décor, and is made from scratch-resistant and shatter-proof material. With easy instructions and mounting brackets provided, allows installing to any wall simple. You’ll definitely not need a second pair of hands for installation.

I’ve used these now for several months and I think they’re “Great”! I have three canisters mounted throughout my kitchen, near my stove, by my sink and next to my little coffee station. When I’m ready to make a fresh pot of coffee, I just hold the portion measuring cup (included with each canister) under the dispenser mouth and turn the knob a few times; then pour my coffee beans in to be grounded.

Recently, I tried using the dispenser to store sugar – figured we would gain access to a good that was used throughout the day; however, sugar and other products with the same texture similarity are too refined. They end up making a mess.

If you buy in bulk, these are not for you! These canisters were built for convenience, to help with kitchen organization and to make life simple.

Each canister will roughly hold: a bag of pasta, a bag of coffee beans or a small box of cereal. Flake type cereals can get slightly crushed, recommended: None flake shaped cereals, like Cheerios or nugget type cereal. Sometimes, even though the rubber pinwheel that turns inside is soft, while twisting to release the cereal can get caught and fly out.

The canisters are very easy and simple to clean. They just pop off the wall mount and wash with mild soap and water. If washing by hand isn’t your thing, no worries – they are dishwasher safe, recommended: top-rack of dishwasher only.

This product does exactly what it is intended to do, and does it very well. So if you are looking for a stylish great solution for limited counter space, portion control, eliminating clutter boxes from cabinets, storing and dispensing then this product is for you!

Whether you’re on the road traveling in an RV or a busy Parent always on the go; you’ll love QuickSeals™.

The Product Review Team here at RV News wanted to let you know whether or not this product has what it takes for the RV enthusiast.

While traveling in an RV there isn’t much time, or space, for storing bulky chip clips or annoying little twist-ties. QuickSeals™ are extremely easy to use especially when you’re on the go.

QuickSeals™ adds a zippered closure to any food bag or box that they can fit over. It keeps your food fresh longer than traditional ways. It also allows you to reseal products easily, especially chip bags.

However, like any product, there are pros and cons.

It’ll take a bit of time to secure to a bag or box and you’ll definitely need a flat surface. At times, an extra pair of hands may be needed as well; but on the bright side, you wouldn’t ever have to reseal the bag again – just zip it closed.

QuickSeals™ are stored in a box, similar to how Ziploc® storage bags are packaged. There are two sizes, medium and large. There is no distinction of which side of the box contains what size, unless you purchase the 150 piece box. It could be a tad frustrating if you pull out the wrong size.

QuickSeals™ are not expensive. I’ve found that QuickSeals™ simply pays for its self. At 6/$1.29, 20/$3.49 or 150/$19.95 some might say, “You might as well just donate around $6 a month to your local garbage facilities.” However, with the amount of food I saved that lasted longer than the traditional fold and clip method. I’m saving money with QuickSeals™ by not tossing food out every other week.

Even though QuickSeals™ has designed a cool new invention, is it that worthy with so many other products on the market. Such as Ziploc® bags which started test marketing in 1968. This is one of those products which necessitate the American needs for quick and simple, no matter what the cost or wastefulness is.

QuickSeals™ do what ordinary chip clips cannot do. That is, it keeps snacks and other perishables FRESH and prevents costly food waste. Especially when living where it’s hot and humid or where ants find their way into food even when bags were folded and clipped. With QuickSeals™ this doesn’t happen and everything stays fresher much longer.

I love QuickSeals™! With having four children that typically just shove bags/boxes back in the pantry without closing them, it’s one way to ensure the products stay fresh. I’m also not throwing money down the drain!
