It’s large enough for two loads of laundry, but what really sets the basket apart is its handles. This CleverMade collapsible basket (which comes in a pack of two) is what Goldson uses in her own home for its versatility. Material: Polyester, plastic | Size: 13.25” x 15” x 23” | Design: Collapsible, steel top rim, loops The taller size works well as a hamper and can hold your weekly laundry haul, while the smaller is great for lesser loads or to separate your delicates. (The plastic it’s made out of is durable enough for this, she assures.) Tanner compares this feature to kitchen mixing bowls that nest within one another. It also has the distinction of being stackable even across the two sizes it comes in, as the smaller one will nest on top of the larger one. “This basket is, without a doubt, one of the more beautiful options,” says Tanner.

Its laundry basket has the clean lines you’d expect from a Scandinavian maker and comes in a number of pretty pastels (including a peach-sorbet shade) not usually seen in the hamper scene. Material: Plastic | Size: 9.65” x 22.64” x 14.76” and 24.6” x 14.8” x 22.6” | Design: Graphic lines, stackableĭanish design studio Hay is well respected among current and former Strategist staffers (we count ourselves fans of the company’s toaster, storage bins, lamp, and tube light, among other things). If you’re into sorting, Solomon suggests buying one in black and another in white to color-code your lights and darks.

(Just note that if you fill it to the very top, it might not close completely and becomes harder to carry.) The fact that the Tower can fold is another plus when your laundry day’s done. I’ve had the chance to try the Tower, and it’s well made - the fabric tote feels sturdy enough that it won’t rip, even if it occasionally overflows. It “stores more laundry than you think it might,” she says. Aesthetically, it’s a hamper “that doesn’t really scream hamper,” Solomon adds, applauding the “sleek, no-nonsense, minimalist” look. Structurally, the hamper features a foldable steel frame and an interior insert at the bottom of the bag to keep the shape when you lug it to the washing machine. Yamazaki’s stellar reputation (its small- space- specific homewares have appeared all across our archives), combined with the smart design of the hamper itself, earned the Tower our “best overall” trophy. Material: Steel, polyester | Size: 25.2” x 11.81” x 14.17” | Design: Collapsible, X-shape folding frame, handles Below, you’ll find recommendations ranging from a Rubbermaid hip-hugger that’s “meant to be flung around” to a handsome (and stackable) Hay basket.

So I asked experts - including professional organizers, cleaners, and one Strategist editor - about the laundry baskets and hampers they consider favorites. (It’s also a superior solution to a “ clothes chair.”) The right hamper should hold plenty while still being easy enough to carry, which isn’t the simplest balance to strike - I remember one of mine almost completely falling apart in a dorm-room hallway (I had to drag it back rather inelegantly). It’s a real workhorse, separating the dirty from the clean. But I’d argue that your hamper or laundry basket is just as important as the other essentials you haul to the laundromat (or to your in-house washer and dryer).

Here at The Strategist, we’re quite obsessive about our laundry, trying out everything from actress Piper Perabo’s favorite detergent sheets to a no-rinse soap that helps slash annual dry-cleaning bills. So while we think it’s a well-built, breathable, and nice-looking hamper, we think it’s a bit over-engineered and just can’t justify the cost when there’s great alternatives for a quarter of the price.Having a productive laundry day comes down to the tools you use. At $150 for the single and $200 for the double, this hamper is definitely not cheap. The frame itself cannot be collapsed or folded, which we thought was counterintuitive to the x-frame design. Once you remove the bags from the frame they don’t stand upright on their own, which can be annoying for unloading or placing folded laundry back inside. We tested the double hamper, which made it easy to sort dark and lights.

Each bag carries about one large load of laundry. It’s made of a heavy-gauge steel frame and comes fully built, all you have to do is insert the sturdy, polyester gray laundry bags into place by placing the steel rods into the notched placeholders (the rods are also easy to remove whenever you want to run the bags through the wash.) The bags are made of recycled plastic, so it’s best to air dry them to avoid melting. If price is not an object and you want a sturdy, well-built hamper with removable bags: The Simple Human X-Frame Laundry Hamper comes in a single and double size.
