Comments about Newspaper Log Roller:

Roller looks very pretty, but I haven't been able to make a successful log yet. (It took several days and extra hands to assemble.) I'm not giving up though. Reusing newspaper is important to me.

Don't Buy This!

By Brewer Dave

About Me Midrange Shopper

Verified Buyer

Pros

    Cons

    • Hard to roll log
    • Logs narrow diameter
    • Time Consuming
    • Wetting each piece added

    Best Uses

    • NONE

    Comments about Newspaper Log Roller:

    Assembly was OK. However making a log is problematic at best. Per directions, the process is laborious and time consuming at best. Wetting the ends of each sheet of paper while making a log requires a water source. Keeping the log roll tight while adding additional sheets is a three handed task. Lastly, having to remove wire ties from the fireplace after burning scatters ashes and requires clean-up!
    Don't buy this thing!

        Comments about Newspaper Log Roller:

        The picture makes it look a lot better than it really is. You can make a log out of newspaper but it's too complicated and time-consuming.

        Poorly Constructed Product

        By V

        from North Carolina

        Verified Reviewer

        Pros

          Cons

          • Flimsy
          • Pieces did not fit
          • Poor construction

          Best Uses

            Comments about Newspaper Log Roller:

            I ordered this as a gift and was very disappointed with the quality, construction and just about everything else with this product. It is flimsy, the pieces did not fit together, and I could not imagine it rolling anything effectively. It is not the quality I would expect from Duluth and I was embarrassed to give it as a gift.

            Cons

            • Average performance

            • Smaller Fireplaces

            Comments about Newspaper Log Roller:

            The product performs OK - Not quite up to my expectations. If you roll the paper too tight, it is hard to slide it off of the center bar. I was hoping to use the rolled paper as a fire starter. I had to add loose paper and kindling anyway.
            It looks good next to the fire place.

                  Comments about Newspaper Log Roller:

                  This log roller was very poorly made, one of the pieces did not fit into it's hole. It fell apart when I tried to roll a log. I was very dissadpointed, usually all products I have ordered from your company have been excellent. No problems. We were shocked at the flimsy quality of this item. I can't believe I have to pay to ship this back to you, you should be paying me for the time I wasted trying to use the dang thing.!

                    husband loved the machine, but the bar going down the middle that you wrap the papers over bent around with the newspapers. Not worth the [$]
