Great Value Ultra Strong Paper Towels vs Scott Professional Hard Roll Paper Towels

Buy the Great Value pack for a home kitchen and bathroom. It is a standard 2-ply, perforated roll with Split Sheets, so you can tear a small piece for a spill or a full sheet for a bigger mess, and it fits ordinary household holders. The Scott hard roll is a commercial product: 1-ply, 1,000 feet per roll, 8 inches wide, and built for a universal hard-roll dispenser in a washroom or break room. Reviewers rate the Great Value highly across a very large number of ratings; the Scott has fewer ratings but is a long-standing janitorial standard with 60% recycled fiber.

  • Choose the Great Value Ultra Strong if you want everyday 2-ply towels for home cleaning and a roll that fits a normal kitchen holder.
  • Choose the Scott Professional Hard Roll if you run a washroom or break room with a universal hard-roll dispenser and want long rolls that need fewer changes.

  • 4.7 / 521,935 ratings

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 21,935 ratings, buyers treat these as dependable everyday towels at a low cost per roll. Most praise absorbency and value; the common complaint is that sheets are small and thin.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a home kitchen?
The Great Value. It is 2-ply, perforated and fits a standard holder, and Split Sheets let you size the piece to the mess. The Scott hard roll needs a commercial dispenser.
Which lasts longer between changes?
The Scott. Each roll is 1,000 feet, far more than a 242-sheet household roll, so it runs out far less often in a busy washroom.
Is the Scott worth stepping up to for a small office?
Yes, if you have a universal hard-roll dispenser. Long rolls cut maintenance time and the recycled content suits green purchasing. For a home, it is overkill.
Are the Great Value towels strong enough for wet messes?
They are 2-ply and rated 4.7 by a large number of owners, which suits routine spills and cleaning. For heavy scrubbing, a thicker towel works better.
Can I use the Scott rolls at home?
Only with a hard-roll dispenser that takes an 8-inch roll and a 1.5-inch core. Most home holders take standard perforated rolls instead.
Which is better for hand-drying in a washroom?
The Scott. It is made for dispenser hand-drying with fast-drying Absorbency Pockets and long rolls that reduce run-outs.
