Lifewit 72L Freestanding Collapsible Laundry Hamper
A light, foldable hamper with good handles and a waterproof lining, but no lid.
We bought Haundry Thickened Large Foldable Laundry Hamper, 21.6" Tall Round. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a large foldable fabric hamper with handles at a similar price and height, and it has hands on editorial testing.
The short version
- Dorm rooms, small apartments and kids' rooms
- Anyone who carries laundry to a shared machine and wants long handles
- Households that need a spare hamper that stores flat
- You want a lid to hide laundry and contain odors
- You want a hamper that stays rigid when nearly empty
- You want a round hamper like the original Haundry
What owners like
- Strong handles that hold up when the hamper is full
- Water resistant lining keeps damp items from soaking through
- Collapses flat, useful for dorms, closets and trips
- Low cost for the capacity
Common complaints
- Sides slump or collapse unless clothes are set in the bottom
- No lid, so smells are not contained
- Fabric wrinkles easily

What it does
A fabric laundry hamper with a waterproof lining and long carry handles that folds flat when not in use; reviewed here in place of the Haundry round foldable hamper, which had no independent coverage.
- Waterproof inner lining, handy for damp towels and swimsuits
- Long handles that let you carry it with one hand, even when overfilled
- Folds flat for storage or travel
- Stands on its own with no frame to assemble
- Sold in many colors, including grey, blue, pink, beige, sage green and black
A good pick for a bedroom, dorm or kid's room where you want a light hamper that carries easily to the machine and folds away. The trade-offs are soft sides that slump until clothes are in the bottom, no lid to hold in odors, and fabric that wrinkles.
