Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pinzon MicroCotton Bath Towel, White
Customer Review: Wasn't ready to love the product...
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have been shopping for new bath towels so when this became available, I was really excited to receive it. Upon initially receiving the package, I noticed (as did other reviewers) that it is average in thickness. I work in hotels and I love good towels in my home too. I expected a much thicker towel. However, I wouldn't say that I was disappointed because I have a compact washer and dryer arrangement that is smaller than usual. For example, my washer will only wash 4 of my current bath towels at a time.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and I am going to purchase more. I agree with other reviewers that it might not dry 250 times faster, but it is fast. The absorbency and drying features of the towel remind me of a recreational fast drying towel recently purchased. The towel does not have to be thick because the feeling of it against your skin is like a velvety, warm sensation. That alone has sold me. For washing economy, I would rather have a really absorbent and soft towel than a useless fluffy towel.
However, I am going to save my real assessment for after I wash the towel 100 times and see how it fares. I abuse my towels because I constantly wash and dry them (sometimes with bleach). I hope that this towel will be able to live up to the hype! Time will tell...
UPDATE 4/16/09: After using this towel for a few months, I am under-impressed. I wish that I could change the review to 3 stars. It has held up OK, but it's nothing remarkable. I have purchased some Grandeur towels from Costco which are cheaper but they are Hydro Cotton. Since they are Hydro Cotton they don't amount to much when they are soaking wet in the washer, which means that you can fit more than if they were made of normal cotton. However, they fluff up beautifully in the dryer. I would recommend the Costco Grandeur towels over these Pinzon MicroCotton.
