Are the current stash of WW drying towels out there all the same ?

[pingable]

I need a couple more WW towels for drying and based on current past posts, the current crops of WW drying towels all appear to be the same....AC, Excel and Pakshak.



If that is the case, the excel detail wins my order just based on pricepoint alone....

The Excel Monterey WW is one of my favorite drying towels..... super soft and absorbent.

The top brand WW drying towels are *close* to being the same. But I find that of the 3 I own, the Sonus is the softest/most absorbant.

How many plants actually produce this stuff? I bet it`s not very many.

I have one cabinet that doesn`t do anything but hold all my mf towels from various different manufacturers and vendors, and I will say that most of them look, feel, and perform differently. Don`t ask me why because I don`t know, but they are definitely not the same, imo.

There are about 3 large mills in Asia where most of the microfiber originates. I will be visiting next summer. You will find a common formula of 75/25 for most. Material weight contributes to the weight of each towel and its density. Fiber count, stitching are also factors in price. That said, the blends allow for overall very good absorbing between any of the companies. I do see some that really upsell the towels a great deal. We have a vendor overseas doing very well and making a lot of money because his competition is marking up the towels about 500% or more. He is marking up about 300% and selling very quickly. You also have to consider customer service. Pakshak and others are known for great customer service.

I liken this conversation to the chemicals...there are not that many plants in the US making chemicals, but you have TONS of private label companies marketing to you guys about this new technology or that. If you get the MSDS sheets (if they even provide any), I bet the mixtures are very close. A simple change of scent and dye is somtimes the only difference.

Rob, to his credit, isn`t trying to push his own stuff, but I have had a good experience with WWs from his store. He has a deal going on now where you can buy 4 20"x40" and receive a 25"x36" free.

Actually the nicest WW I have I bought at Target a few years ago. The WM ones are nice but they are a tad bit stiffer in comparison.

I like Sonus` and the 28x54 Cobra Guzzler. In general, I will disagree with the statement that they are all about the same.

I own the Sonus, Cobra, and pakshak...so yes they are all about the same. :getdownHence why I said the "top brands."

How did you swing that?

That does make sense. Relative to what you can buy over the counter there is a huge between them and the top brands.

I tend to agree, as does the dancing banana guy. :getdown
