SONGMICS 23.8-Gallon Laundry Hamper vs Lifewit Large Laundry Basket

Pick the SONGMICS if you want a sturdier, waterproof hamper that carries heavier loads and splits laundry into two sections. Pick the Lifewit if you want more raw volume and a removable inner bag that goes straight to the washer. The SONGMICS is the better-built of the two: handwoven PP rattan over a frame with a cotton liner, rated to 55 lb, and owners report it holds its shape. The Lifewit is taller and lighter, with a buckle lid and a washable bag, but its 26.5 lb rating and softer body suit lighter use.

• Choose the SONGMICS 23.8-Gallon Laundry Hamper if you sort lights and darks, carry full loads to a shared laundry room, or need a hamper that shrugs off damp towels.
• Choose the Lifewit Large Laundry Basket if you want maximum capacity in a narrow footprint and prefer lifting out a washable inner bag instead of carrying the whole hamper.
