Advantages: They are stronger

Disadvantages: Your paying a lot for something that doesn't last you any longer

Now I'm a sucker for advertising and when I saw the bounty adverts on the telly I knew that I wasn't going to be satisfied until I gave it a try.
I picked up a pack of 2 rolls at about £1.40 as I found the prices rather expensive at nearly £4 for 6. I must admit that I was kind of excited about going home and making a bit of a mess just to test out the kitchen towels- I know this is extremely sad.

Firstly I noticed that each individual piece on the role felt a lot thicker than the usual paper towels I bought. Also it had some sort of design over it, which I guess made it a little more interesting to look at.

I first tested out the paper on a large water spill and found that it absorbed the amount well, but the piece of paper towel wasn't much good for anything after that- unlike the advert suggests. I then decided I might have overdone it with my absorbency test so I decided to try it out on cleaning. I wet the towel and attempted to wipe down my cooker and it did hold together quite well and cleaned up the surface nicely but I can't say I was amazed.
I decided to just use the Bounty as and when I needed it, which turned out to be on anything and everything, which meant that in a a very short space of time the two rolls had run out and though they had become very handy they didn't last me as long as a roll usually does.

Summary: These are ok, but really I get a lot more out of the basic towels as there's more on them.
