Stainless Steel - organization, shower organization
I like the design a lot. Nice grip on the top so it does not fall forward/move.
The only concern with this is that there are rods in between and it is difficult to take the Soap in and out of this.
Otherwise deserves a 5 star. OXO Good Grips 2-Tier Shower Caddy
This caddy works about as well as you could hope. The cup in the top right corner can pop out if you want, but is very secure otherwise. The C hook not only used the black rubber for traction, but was also the perfect size to "click" around the shower head. This thing clears all the bottles off the tub, holding 6-8 comfortably. Good purchase.
Was very excited to get this OXO caddy. Right out of the box it felt well made. Hefty in weight, not flimsy very solid and attractive. It has 2 shelves which are not adjustable, I knew that...not a problem. Two thick hooks, which are not as shallow as they appeared on site, that's good. It also comes with a little cup for holding...I'm not sure, but its cute and I like it.
With a huge grin on my face I took it to my bathroom for placement, and my excitement began to fade.
It is not made for hand showers. Seems like alot of people have those now but the shower caddy world has not caught on. As I tried to show in my pictures, I had to remove the top shelf and put the hand spray THROUGH the ring for it to hang properly. As you can imagine it is a drag having to pull the hand spray down through the ring when I need to use it, and push it back through to hang it up. Plus I obviously lose the use of the 2nd shelf, which is sitting shiny new in my linen closet.
The other issue is false advertising. Good Construction? Yes! Good Grips? No.
The top hook does have a thick rubber ring, which IS good, but the suction cups are absolutely useless. (Just like all suction cups on shower mats these days. Only Rubbermaid makes suctions that work and you have to buy the mats direct from them, they don't sell retail anymore. I digress)
So the caddy does swing side to side a bit, and would no doubt be worse if I had more heavy stuff on the shelf. I just have a bar of soap and 1 short bottle.
In conclusion: I really wish I could like this caddy more. But the lack of compatibility with my hand spray is a big negative. Quality of product: 5 stars, quality of design: 2 stars, average: 3 stars.
A month ago every time I'd take a shower I'd say "I gotta get a shower caddy". Now I say, "I gotta get another shower caddy".
Good product. Looks nice. Enough space for everything for us. The only down fall I see is that the suction cup at the bottom doesn't hold the rack in place so it'll move around a lot. Someone else wrote about this same problem too. I have porous tile on my shower wall so that may be the reason. Not sure if it would stick better if the tile was glossy in texure.
This shower caddy looks great, easy to setup, and has plenty of room. It holds all my shower bottles and also smaller items such as razors and toothbrushes. The cup was a great addition. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a great shower caddy to clear up crowded showers.
As with other OXO products that I've gotten in the past, this shower caddy takes a good product and makes it even better. My biggest complaint with other shower caddies that I've used has been that they have to be perfectly balanced in order to hang straight down, and often slide off the shower head itself. OXO addressed these problems with multiple suction cups that keep the unit stable, and a rotating hook that accomodates the various angles at which shower heads come out of the wall. Overall, great design and functionality.
I have had no problems at all with this shower caddy. The suction cup has stayed in place so I have not experienced any swinging. The catch cup is perfect for putting my razor and any other little items into. My favorite feature is that the trays can be removed for easy cleaning. We have two of these on different shower heads and the pivoting hook at the top adjusts to fit both of the shower heads (one is a rain shower, one is a regular shower). Overall I've been extremely happy with the design of this shower caddy. It definitely beats the one I used to have that kept sliding off the shower head. If you have a lot of products you want to store, I would recommend their 3-tier caddy.
I have been accustomed to buying an OXO product without thinking twice. Their kitchen products are the best out there for the price and quality is a priority for them. However, this shower caddy is below their usual design standards. Because there is only one grip on the bottom of the caddy, it will "swing" around that singe axis. This becomes annoying when you're trying to put your shampoo bottle back in one-handed because the other hand has the shampoo in it. I will not be so loyal to OXO in the future. - Shower Organization - Shower Caddies - Organization - Bathroom'
