• Lever Arm Dispenser<ref name="Lever Arm Details">http://www.restockit.com/Dispenser-Insight-Roll-Towel-Smoke-Gray--(09736KIM)---TOP-SELLER!.html</ref>

Kimberly-Clark In-Sight Lev-R-Matic II 09736

This lever-operated paper towel dispenser requires the user to pull down on the lever to advance the paper. To increase the length of the paper, the user must use the lever more than once.

Pros: Translucent, smoked plastic makes it easier to see when paper towel is almost empty. Works relatively well with no jams. Cons: Must touch lever to advance paper (not hygienic). If you want a long sheet, you must pull down the lever several times.
