Good
A simple yet effective idea. We can't always get to a shop to recycle our plastic and this device is great for shrinking our soft plastic pile by about 2/3 to help keep it manageable.

Fast delivery and just what I was…
Fast delivery and just what I was looking for! Works as stated. It doesn’t do anything amazing, just squishes it all into a bag but very handy now my council has changed their recycling system.

Thanks for the review Alice.
Patent pending writing needs rethinking
I really like it, but the patent pending writing at the bottom is so sharp it has ruined multiple items of my clothing, the latest being an expensive jumper 😤
I'm going to have to try to sand it off before it ruins my entire wardrobe

Hi Louise. Thanks for your review. It is a little bizarre! I am not sure you are using the device correctly. Can you get in touch so we can have a chat about your issues please. Info@whollyshrink.com.
Exactly what we looking for
My wife tasked me with finding some kind of small bin that we could shove soft plastics in so we didn't have to have a bread bag spilling out on the side. Found the Wholly Shrink and immediately bought one as it was clearly THE product we needed. Arrived quickly and was put to use immediately. Fantastic product does exactly what it needs to and sits discretely in the corner of the kitchen. Our kids will squabble over who gets to squash the next bit of plastic in it, so a bonus feature is getting them engaged with recycling. Will recommend to friends and family.

Thanks very much for your review. We are delighted that the Shrinker is also encouraging children to start recycling.
Made me recycle soft plastics again
I think this is a fantastic product. It's very simple but really effective. It looks neat on a work surface or would fit in a cupboard. It means no more big bags of soft plastic stuffed under my sink.
