Elliott Large Green Laundry Basket

Bought this and a green one as I needed to find a way of encouraging my son to engage with the laundry process. If my attempts at child slavery are going to meet with success, I need to at least find laundry baskets he can lift and carry while full, and these are perfect.The bright, cheery colours are certainly pleasant enough to distract from my whole Evil Mother masterplan of enslaving my son in the kitchen and making him do all the crap I don't want to - if only we still had to lug our laundry three miles to the nearest river, rub it all clean against some giant rocks and then haul it all back home again, then I'd truly feel satisfied; the in-a-box, press-a-button convenience of the modern age is a let down when you're aiming for tyrannical parenting.Still, if you're challenging your 10 year old to wash, dry and put away his clothes, these are the perfect size as they will easily accommodate a single load of laundry. And their soft, no-seam moulding means they don't split or break when he hurls them at your head in protest of your cruel and demanding enslavement.

I must admit that when this first arrived, I thought it was too small. But now I love it. As you know, washing machines are only supposed to be filled about half full ( or empty considering your outlook on life), so this basket is ample for the task. It is light weight and durable and it comes in a range of colours. I can't think of anything to fault it to be honest. It came in quite a lot of packaging, which I thought was a bit unnecessary, but it is an awkward shape I guess.Our old basket (not this make) broke after many years of use, so I hope to get some good years from this as well. The only trouble is my daughter insists on using it as a snail shell!

This is super sturdy and v lightweight and, most importantly flexible rather than brittle like most and easy to carry. It also doesn't take up so much floor space as the usual shaped baskets. Big capacity. And at this price? Brilliant. I am a sad laundry fanatic on the quiet and this is by far the best basket I have ever had. They are also useful for carry around all sorts of other junk eg during house moves or 4 DIY projects.

Not quite as large as my previous basket I had in the same style but it is fine for my needs. Arrived a day later than expected but that was probably down to Royal Mail. It was dispatched very quickly from the supplier.

Overall a good product but not quite as flexible as I expected and subsequently a crack has appeared. Not a massive issue and we are still using the basket.

I brought this basket to replace a similar (but not the same make) that has broken. It is lighter than I thought it would be but does the job so far. Will wait to see if it lasts.

Bought this to replace an older version that had eventually split. The new versions are lighter and don’t feel quite as sturdy but I don’t need know if the material is stronger. They are good for laundry in any event.

Love this laundry basket, as easy to carry and feels more durable. The other sort are more brittle, I dropped one and it split in a very short time. This basket is easy to carry washing around the house as you can carry with one hand, which is helpful as I am 70 years old and need to hold on to things with the other hand sometimes.
