Heavy duty and built to last,
I have purchased many laundry sorters in the past that need to be replaced every year it seems. The Honey-Can-Do SRT-01235 Chrome Heavy-Duty Triple Laundry Sorter, Chrome/White is by far the best and the last one I will have to purchase for some time. The problem I ran into with the last sorters was the metal rods would bend, start rusting and I was always re-screwing the joints since the rods would loosen up causing the cart to be wobbly. This sorter is crafted with heavy chrome that has some weight making the unit sturdy and very easy to push and pull without the worry of it being unsteady. The wheels are not the top of the line but much better than what I expected. The wheels do have a latch to lock the wheels in place when you want to make the cart stationery. The laundry bags are a perfect size, made of a thick cotton and easy to remove and wash since the metal handles slide right out of them. Excellent buy and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality laundry sorter that is not going to “drop” and fall apart on you.

|Comparison between Honey-Can-Do & Seville SHE16165 Sorters,
There are two similar laundry sorter products on Amazon: the “Honey-Can-Do Heavy-Duty Laundry Sorter” and the “Seville Classics SHE16165 3-Bag Laundry Sorter Cart With Hanging Bar”. They are, at the time I bought them, nearly the same price. I needed an upstairs and downstairs sorter so I bought one of each since I couldn’t make up my mind.
Bottom line, both are sturdy well-built units and each are good choices. They both have the same 3-bag capacity and the same removable bag concept. And both were huge improvements to my previous laundry hampers so you can’t go wrong with either. But there are a couple of details that may make a difference to you.
Buying Recommendation:
Buy the Seville unit if you want the sturdiest heavy-duty design (frame/bags/wheels) and/or the hanger bar is important to you. If you roll the unit around a lot, the Seville may have the slight edge. Be prepared to accommodate the hanger bar’s height or just remove it.
Buy the Honey-Can-Do if you really don’t like the hanging bar and/or you mostly leave the unit stationary, which really makes most of the Seville’s frame sturdiness moot (except for the bags). Also, if space is an issue, the Honey has the smaller height profile.
Detail Comparison:
DESIGN. The Seville SHE16165 is sturdier than the Honey-Can-Do due to its: (i) eight vertical bars and six horizontal bars vs. the Honey’s 6 x 4 design; (ii) bottom bag-support less stress on the bags); (iii) stronger bags; and (iv) larger wheels (both have wheel locks). I think the sturdier bags and bag-support are notable differences while the stronger frame and wheels is a bit of overkill on a laundry sorter, unless you roll it around a lot or are into competitive laundry sorter racing or something.
HANGER BAR. The Seville SHE16165 has an adjustable hanger bar that can be positioned high or low. The hanger bar can be brought down to about 6 inches from the top, otherwise the units have near identical dimensions. the bar can also be removed if you don’t like it. but then you have a 3 inch vertical pipe cap on each side that no longer serve a purpose. it’s not unsightly (it has the black cap) but it may look a little odd.
DIMENSIONS. The Honey-Can-Do product is lighter with a more compact design (height-wise). It seems to fit better in a closet because of the lack of hanger bar. Depth/width are similar.
BAGS/BAG SUPPORT. The Seville bags are off-white to the Honey’s white. And the Seville’s bags are stronger. As noted above, the Honey has no bottom to support the bags (one reviewer on the Honey site did complain of a small tear eventually appearing on a Honey bag). The Seville’s bag-support simply rests on the frame bottom so it does rattle if there is nothing pressing down on it. If it bugs you, the bottom support is removable as well.
ASSEMBLY. Both are easy to assemble. Although I could not completely align the Honey’s wheel height so it has a slight wobble to it.
SHOPPING ALTERNATIVES. I found the Honey-Can-do product or near equivalent at walmart/target websites but not the Seville. The prices were about 5% more than Amazon.

|great item,
I’ve had my cart for over a year now and I love it. It may not be *quite* as exciting as the PR makes it sound, but it works. I can sort, launder, and refill according to my needs. The cart is on the 2nd floor of a house, and the laundry is in the basement so the removable bags are important. The only thing that keeps it from getting a 5th star is the bags. After 4 months, the bottom of one bag began to come apart, and then 4 months later, another one went. A short session with a sewing machine fixed the problems easily, and I can live with that.
