Joseph Joseph Tota Laundry Basket vs Lifewit Large Laundry Basket

The Joseph Joseph Tota is the better pick for households that sort lights, colors and darks at the source. Its two cotton tote bags lift out and carry to the machine, and the lid hides the contents. The Lifewit is the better pick for volume and for anyone who wants a washable liner. It holds far more and costs less, but it is a single compartment with a buckle closure and a lighter build. Owners of the Tota praise the sorting and the look; Lifewit owners praise the size and the liner, and some note the frame is flimsier.

• Choose the Joseph Joseph Tota if you sort laundry into two loads and want removable cotton totes and a lid that keeps the basket out of sight.
• Choose the Lifewit if you need maximum capacity for a family, a washable liner, and a hamper that folds flat when empty.
