Tools and Hardware Reviews of Pinzon 800-Gram Bath Towel, WhiteCustomer Review: nice, high-maintenance towels Summary: 4 Stars
I have owned these towels (in white, which is actually more of a cream colour than a true white) for over six months. While fairly pricey, I'm willing to pay more for household items that are going to be used on a daily basis.
The size of these towels (I got the 'bath towel' size) is adequate for someone who likes a larger sized towel. After having these, I think the 'bath sheet' size would've been much too large.
Before purchasing, I'd read other reviews that said these towels were heavy and took a long time to dry. It's true - they are heavy, but not so heavy that they're unpleasant to use. Washing, however, is another story. They take up so much room that in my apartment-sized washer, I can only fit a maximum of four bath towels. When dried at a low heat setting as directed, that small load of four towels took several hours to dry, which, despite the quality, seemed like more of a pain than it was worth. As a result,, I started drying them on a higher heat level than directed, and I think I may have ruined them - they don't seem nearly as soft as they did when they arrived, however now they 'only' take around two hours to dry.
To combat the lack of softness, I started using fabric softener in the wash, which has helped. While they still don't feel as nice as they did when I got them, I'm still excited to go home and use them after using scratchy hotel towels. I like them more than I like any other towels I come in contact with, but I think I would've rather bought more lightweight towels that don't have the maintenance issues these towels do. Maybe in the future if I have a larger washer and dryer, I'll buy new ones and give them another shot - if it didn't take me so long to dry them on a low heat, maybe I'd do so and they'd be as soft as they were when I got them.
