I had a hard time locating paper towels in the past 2-3 weeks due to the demand from Covid-19, I stumbled upon these and took a chance. First Amazon is amazing at first I was told it would take 2.5 weeks to arrive then it changed to 1 week and it was received within 4 days of ordering them. These are not the best most amazing paper towels you'll ever use but I don't think of them as paper towels. They are thinner and smaller than your average paper towel but durable. They don't rip easily, no lint, and the absorbency is good. I needed them to dry my hands after washing, help wipe down counters with bleach, clean up after the cats (they're messy eaters). and yes depending on the job you will need 2-3 sheets but then again that's the same issue with paper towels. Overall I'm happy with my purchase especially during these times where paper items are more valuable than gold.
Update 4/22/20 just wanted update that I'm still using these towels, and I will continue to buy them. My household contains 3 people with 2 kittens and my husband and daughter so through paper towels as if they're in a competition who can waste more. My husband for some reason cannot rip just 1-2 towels on a regular roll he pulls on the roll taking 3-4 towels just to dry his hands. With these Scott since they are individually separated he is taking just 1-2 now so is my daughter. We go through 1 pack of 250 in about 9-10 days not bad in this household.

Updated review of 3 Scott towels:Reviewed in the United States on 21 July 2016
Over time I have purchased 3 different versions of the Scott multi-fold paper towels and happen to have a package of each for comparison, Scott # 01840, 01801 & 01804. I'll copy this review to all three products.
# 01840 A packet weighs 14oz. It is stronger/stiffer and best suited for wiping off our work equipment. I am still ordering it for that purpose.
# 01801 A packet weighs 18.5oz. It Is not bleached, is thinner as others have noted, but I found it was fine for drying hands and general purpose use. I'll continue to use it in the restroom and eating area.
# 01804 A packet weighs 13.6 oz. It is thinner and softer than 01804, works fine for drying hands and general purpose use but I don't like the way it clings when wet - it reminds me of a face tissue. Of the three it is best suited for wiping if a stronger than tissue paper is needed. I won't be reordering.
Original review: Comparing Scott Towels with Georgia-Pacific
Well maybe I don't love paper towels but I use a lot of them and I care a lot about how well they work. Comparing Scott Multifold Paper Towels (01804) with Georgia-Pacific 21000 Signature 2-Ply Premium Multifold Paper Towel, the Scott paper towel works much better. That is to say they absorb better and are stronger. See the pictures to compare (sorry they are a bit dark), the Scott towel package is bigger and is firm; the Georgia-Pacific towel is fluffy i.e. less dense. Fluff may fill out the box but it didn't help absorb water.
