10 Reviews: Best Laundry Basket for Families (May 2024)

It has excellent ventilation, can hold 1.5 bushels or 53 liters, which is well above an extra-large load of laundry (about 21 pounds), and cleans up as good as new when wiped off with a moist cloth. Because it is simpler to grab a fully loaded basket thanks to the flexible and extended handles, the number of trips that need to be taken to the washing machine on laundry day can be reduced.

"..They hold EXACTLY one load of clothes for my front-loading LG machine. I got a bunch, so everyone in the house has one and we have a few for towels, linens, and overflow. The quality of materials is far better than competing brands, and the price is actually lower."

The Honey-Can-Do SRT-01235 Heavy-Duty Triple Washing Sorter is the choice for you if you have extra space or a designated location for laundry and wish to pre-sort your clothes. Three removable polyester-cotton cloth laundry bags on metal rods are held in place by a robust metal frame with wheels, and they can be easily lifted out to load the contents directly into a washer. Each bag can handle a hefty (11-pound-ish) load of laundry, totaling more than 30 pounds. This sorter isn’t the smallest of our selections, so if you don’t have a lot of room or don’t need to sort and cart your clothes, you could be better off with a single hamper or basket.

"I've had this for 4 years now and it's amazing. The quality is great. The fabric is think canvas and holds up well to a heavy load of laundry. I have had two spots tear but they have been on the seam and were less than 1 minute fixes. The bags also was well when you feel they are dirty or smelly. I haven't felt the need to wash mine very often, they do a really good job of repelling the smells of the dirty laundry. The metal is very durable and it's not the thin cheap stuff...."

"I want to share that this laundry basket has served my family well. I honestly didnt know how long I have had it until I was thinking about purchasing a new one and OMG....I have had it for 5 years!!!! I used my laundry hamper for my uniforms when I was in active duty in the Marines to also having 2 additional children so tons of baby clothes..."

Many reviewers like that this set comes with four baskets, which may be used for sorting laundry or for different family members. “These baskets are the ideal size. One reviewer comments, “Not too big, not too little.” “And with a four-pack, everyone can have one, and it fits neatly in the closet without taking up too much room.” Another appreciates how they can quickly remove the lids to stack the baskets when not in use to “help get laundry under control in a busy house with multiple kids,” and others like how they can easily remove the lids to stack the baskets when not in use.

"These are absolutely perfect for my family. Able to line them up to make sure everything is properly sorted (I have a 9year old who hasn't quite got the hang of sorting yet lol) and then transport all to be washed. I hoped just because they were cheap that they wouldn't be made cheaply. They surely are not made cheap. The price for 4 is unbeatable. Absolutely recommend these."

With the help of this laundry sorter cart, you can easily separate your linens, delicates, lights, and darks. It is simple to put together and very convenient to use. This laundry bags made of polyester canvas are not only simple to clean but also provide an increased level of durability. Bags can be removed from the sorter with ease thanks to the steel handles, which also provide support for the mesh bottoms.

"My wife and i absolutely love this. Its really convenient! We are a family of 3 and having to sort out clothes is a real pain in the.. lol with this we save alot of time and space. Each cubby holds a normal sized load. It was also fairly simple to assemble. Took me about 7 minutes. I would definitely recommend this for a family of 3+. Thanks for reading."

A commercial-grade round laundry cart basket with rolling rollers for easy mobility is for you. The robust chromed steel frame’s larger diameter contributes to the frame’s greater strength and stability that is able to hold your family’s clothes without left. A component with a top and bottom frame is stronger and more robust in general. Also included is a canvas bag with a removable vinyl interior lining that can be added anywhere around the upper frame to hold multiple loads of clothes.

"I love this laundry basket. It's well made, sturdy, big but not too big. This was exactly what I was looking for. So glad I got it."

Anyone can utilize this mobile laundry basket because it has four wheels and a removable, washable polyester bag. Its dimensions are 33 by 19.25 by 17.37 inches, making it easy to transport from room to room (on the same floor) while gathering laundry for the washing. The “cute” design and “efficient” way of transferring laundry from point A to point B are praised by reviewers. Others argue that it is great for urban residents who must bring their laundry a few blocks to be washed.

"There's hardly anything left to desire with this product, so I'll cut to the chase and just say that for improvement, a way to lock the product into a folded state would be helpful when trying to store it flat against the wall or in a closet. It would be great if I could just fold it closed and let it stand on its own, but it can't do that. Otherwise, in the several weeks I've used it, I like it a lot."

This sturdy and capacious laundry basket is made completely of cotton. It’s chemical-free, natural, and suitable for use around children and pets. In all four variations of this basket, the neutral colors of brown, beige, and dark gray are included, giving it an all-around pleasing appearance that is acceptable for most rooms. Because they’re designed to stand upright on their own, you may use them as a corner hamper until laundry day. Steam the seams if your laundry basket comes in a position other than upright and refuses to adapt.

"I love this basket! I am using it as a laundry basket - it is v lightweight, big enough to gather laundry from my family and take it to utility room. Because it is soft but robust cotton, it is great on wooden floors and inside a cupboard - no scratches. I highly recommend, it was delivered quickly, and it is a well made stylish design.....much better than some others I saw for twice the money.."

This 100% cotton braided basket’s tapering form and long handles make it easier to carry than other similar types. It will also keep the clothes from piling up. Reviewers believe the strong handles can easily take 30 pounds or two small loads, despite the fact that the brand doesn’t indicate a weight capacity (though it does say it can contain a volume of 105 liters). The washing basket is available in five soft, natural colors and has over 4.000 Amazon reviews. Many reviewers said it was easy to wash and that it is stylish enough to use as a blanket or toy storage at your home. 

"This hamper is huge! With four people (two small children) in our family, laundry is a never ending nightmare and I feel like our clothes are everywhere. This basket holds 2-3 large loads of laundry compared to a standard sized plastic hamper that holds one load..."

The Braided Laundry Basket that is provided by ferm LIVING has a beautifully organic shape that is likely to enliven the appearance of whatever area in your home that you decide to place it in. The surface of the basket, which is hand-braided from rattan, has a stunningly natural and mottled appearance thanks to the weaving technique. In addition to hiding an even greater quantity of soiled clothes, the basket is adaptable enough to satisfy a broad variety of different storage requirements.
