"I like this laundry basket. This was interesting as the words on it make it a little more sarcastic and i like that. the durability of this product is good. Could hold a lot of clothes. Since this is Square, I like the idea of folding the clothes after drying straight into the basket which makes them more appealing."

This washing basket hangs over the door and takes up no floor space that is perfect for small spaces. It comes with universal hooks to hang it. You don’t want it to be hung on the door? It also has adhesive hooks on the back so you can hang them in the bathroom or inside your closet. The hamper has an extra-large capacity, measuring 20 by 30 inches, but the robust Oxford fabric and double-reinforced stitching can withstand hefty loads. A separate front pocket is ideal for holding a few delicates, and the back zipper makes it simple to transfer the clothing to your washing machine.

"We have a small home and needed some space saving options. These are super easy to carry down our stairs (compared to traditional laundry basket). I keep one in the laundry room for whites until I have enough to run a load with bleach. Love the zipper feature so everything dumps right into the washer.."

Slender laundry hamper is 15.2 inches wide and 8.5 inches deep, making it slim enough to fit into the smallest of places and fashioned of durable Oxford fabric. It can also be folded flat when not in use, but thanks to its cardboard bottom insert and rods that keep it standing erect, it isn’t flimsy. It’s available in 8 colors and has durable carrying handles to make it simpler to take from place to place, with a 4.6-star overall rating after more than 3,000 reviews.

"This is a high quality hamper. Very nice and very sturdy materials. I use it in a bathroom at our mobile home getaway between the shower and toilet because it's a smaller space. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with this product!"

Because of its tall 23.6-inch height and long 18-inch base, this slim, space-saving laundry basket can actually contain a lot of clothes while being only 10 inches deep. Aside from the large capacity, this hamper has a lid, cutout handles for carrying, and a vented woven design that allows aromas from dirty clothing to escape. It’s lightweight (approximately 3 pounds) and comes in five hues, including pink, gray, and ivory, thanks to its plastic construction. It’s also a wonderful container for wet garments and towels that would otherwise destroy a fabric liner if left neglected for too long because of the robust plastic walls.

"Very heavy plastic. Slim just like I needed. Top opens and closes easily. If you do not want the top either leave open or remove. Very, very easy to put top on

When there’s no room on the floor for a washing basket, a hanging basket like this cotton canvas laundry bag can be the best option. Although this bag is only 16.25 inches wide and 6 inches deep, it can be hung practically anyplace, from a door knob to a closet rod or even the side of a changing table. The bag also includes a metal rim to keep it open and a zippered back to make getting dirty clothes out a breeze. It comes in black and white and is completely machine washable.

"This is a genius invention. We live in a smaller older home and there is limited space for laundry. It is perfect for a small space but the bag itself is long/large. It is about the length of a king size pillow (for size reference). The whole thing is soft canvas fabric. ...At the same time it is very secure and never slips off itself. Totally full it is a good large load of laundry which is perfect."

This Whitmor Rattique laundry hamper is both attractive and functional if wicker is more to your taste. It has 17.3 inches wide and 12.6 inches deep, but it has a few features that might make it worthwhile if you have the space: a hinged lid, a removable and machine-washable liner bag, and lightweight plastic and metal wire construction that’s sturdy but still easy to lift and move closer to your washer.  The basket, which comes in espresso and gray colors, appears like it’s made of actual split rattan and has a lid to keep your stuff hidden. To put it another way, this is one hamper you won’t mind leaving out in the open.

"I just got this today and absolutely LOVE it! It looks like real wicker, I can't believe it's plastic. I have a small bathroom and my other hamper took up too much space, this one is perfect! The color is like the picture, it's very pretty. .."

This set includes two slim yet tall hampers that are ideal for segregating your light and dark clothing. What’s the genius part? You can put them next to one other or, if space is limited, in various regions to maximize storage. The hampers are 15-by-10 inches at the base, but with a 25-inch height, they have a lot of room. They are made of durable Oxford cloth and have handles for convenient travel as well as rods to support the frames. When not in use, they may, however, be conveniently collapsed which is ideal for small spaces. 

"I was looking for a hamper that would fit between my bathroom vanity and toilet when I came across this set. It ended up being the perfect size and even though it is slender, it is tall enough and deep enough where it holds a good amount of clothes. It looks nice and even brightens up the bathroom a bit..."

This gorgeous modern wire Yamazaki basket is not only lovely to look at but also very functional, making it a perfect choice for those who value both form and function equally. The basket’s foldable hardwood handles allow it to be utilized in a variety of configurations, and the open metal frame provides for ideal airflow. Its measurements are 12.2 by 16.3 by 10.6 inches which are suitable to put in the small spaces. The hamper can handle a load of laundry that is around the size of a middle-sized load.

"As advertised, this is a handy basket for clothes that fits in a small space, like a closet. Easy to carry with the two handles, seems sturdy and the open mesh design allows for air flow to minimize odors of clothing."

With the help of this airy pop-up laundry hamper, you can always have your filthy clothing looking its best. Because it has a large aperture, this hamper enables you to load or unload the washing machine with ease in a single rapid move, regardless of whether you are loading or unloading the basket. When not in use, this product merely requires a twist to collapse into a compact form, making it very convenient to store.

"These are great I love they can be turned sideways. The durability is amazing. I have had mine for over ten years and they are still in great shape and I use them every week."
