Amazon Basics Fade-Resistant Cotton Hand Towel - 6-Pack, Crimson

Im a 30yr old single guy who knew nothing about towels when I bought this towel set. The Amazon towels were inadequate in every way and left me searching for better. I now know a lot more about towel construction and materials. I wholeheartedly recommend you avoid these Amazon towels and instead spend a little extra money on a better towel. After all, you probably wont be buying towels again for several years.After using these Amazon towels for 4 months I finally gave up and threw them in the trash. They werent even suitable as work rags...Heres why.After 20+ wash cycles THEY STILL SHED! My bathroom has had a near constant layer of blue lint covering every surface. How this happens I dont know. The towels no longer leave large amounts of lint in the dryer. Instead it deposits onto my skin and on the toilet water tank and counter surfaces.I finally gave up on these towels and did some googling for alternatives. I settled on the "Fieldcrest" series at Target. I couldnt be happier. They cost more than double these amazon towels but they stopped shedding after the 2nd wash/dry cycle. They feel heavy(exspensive), fluffy, absorbent without simply pushing water around, and best of all they dont leave blue lint all over my bathroom! I bought the Fieldcrest towels because they got consistently good reviews online. I concur, they are great. Currently, each of the bath towels are $13 at Target. But they feel so well made that I probably wont have to buy towels again for a few years. I dont mind spending some extra cash on something I use EVERY day.

Terrible! Absolutely unusable! The lint is ENDLESS!!!! I've had these since July 2017, and I never got to use them - the only thing I did was washing them every 2 weeks with other laundry, in hopes that lint would wash out. That makes it about 12 washes, and the lint is still there in the same amount!!! It gets into eyes, nose, hair, sticks to skin all over the body... I don't know what to do any more!Moreover, these towels' lint has clogged up my washing machine so terribly it started leaking - just look at the filter on the first photo and what I've taken out of it on the second.Don't waste your money on this terrible product!

First off I need to say that I bought a lot of these towels in Black, and in Grey.....I washed them (separately) before putting them in my closet. What a mess! The lint that came off of these was crazy...my washer was loaded with the fuzz as well as my dryer, and when I pulled them out, I always shake them, and again, the fuzz went all over and my laundry areas needed to be swept. Several of them also came apart at the edges. I ALWAYS keep packaging, but this time I threw it all away or I would return them. Never again! I will also put this on the review for the grey towels.

I don't see how this product has 4 stars. I got the black towels. First use, I was covered in fuzz and so was most of my bathroom. I thought if I washed them, it would remove the problem...NOPE. It got worse. When I dried off, there was even more black fuzz than before. I have washed several times now, and still the same problem. Horrible product and would not buy again or in another color!!!!

The worst product that I bought from Amazon. It looks so nice but after washing and using it for the first time you can see fibers of the towel sticking on your skin. When you use the hand towel the fibers are all around the bathroom mat. I thought all products being sold by Amazon are quality products. Too bad, Amazon's reputation is affected by this product. Please don't but this product .

Unbelievably cheap material, I have had better luck with towels purchased at Walmart, Target and Macy's. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and washed them several time for many hours before writing this review. The pictures speak for themselves. You be the judge.

I have needed to buy towels for years and have kept putting it off, because I knew it would be a chore and I wanted to "get it right" - the colors I needed in long-lasting towels that were quality and I would not have to do this again for a very long time (I had towels I was using from 5-10 years ago and those in between ("they don't make 'em like they used to). However, I think I found some that are the quality of the ones I was used to growing up. These are soft. Full disclosure - yes, they have coughed up quite a bit of lint the 3 times I have washed them, but they are still luxurious and soft and thick - they really are the kind you would get at a spa - I mean, a really expensive spa! They are the perfect blue that I hoping for. I am totally pleased every time I use them.

Great towels for the price. I'm not sure why other reviewers are not happy with these. I wasn't expecting a $30 bath towel when I received these. They are about the same quality I would receive in a mid priced towel at a department store. Yes they shed the first time you use them, but after the 2nd washing, I didn't have any shedding. Would buy again.

Very towelly, did towelly things like towels should.Very towelly.

Six months later, and these are still shedding black fuzz every time I use them. After drying off with one of these towels, you'll find yourself wanting to jump back into the shower. They're soft, and they look decent, but they fail at being towels.

Cuando leí las características del producto, me convenció la garantía de durabilidad y que no se decoloraran; sin embargo, cuando recibí el producto, esperaba un tejido muy terso e, incluso, acolchado, el cual no fue así. A pesar de que la tesura y la suavidad no eran lo que esperaba, las toallas han cumplido muy bien su función, son de batalla y, efectivamente, han aguantado muy bien las lavadas.

I was a bit disappointed with this towel set as the material feels cheap and it’s thin. I have purchased things with Amazon basics before and found the quality was high so the quality being low on the towel set came as a surprise to me. I would not buy these again.

I ordered this on Thursday and got them at 11am. Amazing. I bought these to end using disposable wipes once and for all and to be honest, these aren’t the greatest. Their very thin, I can see light pass through them. I’ve already washed them and they’re all curled up and look old already. The colour has faded slightly and they are not soft at all. For the purpose their gonna be serving I don’t care all that much but they should have been cheaper.
