There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I really like these towels in terms of size, softness, all that. I wish I could have taken maybe half a star or a third of a star off because "platinum" as the photo shows up on my screen isn't the right match for the color that these are on arrival, which I would call "light gray-brown." I thought they would be more blue-gray than tan/brown/gray . HOWEVER, per above, they are very good towels so I am not going to waste packaging, labor, gas etc. on a return. I still like them.
But the problem came when I washed my new blue towels and then threw them in the dryer. When the drying was done, I pulled out the lint trap and the entire trap was overflowing with blue lint. When I used the towel, my body was covered with specks of blue lint. I washed and dried it a second time and this time the lint trap was about half full of blue lint. I'm hoping that with subsequent washing and drying that there will be far less lint.
But overall, these are good, absorbent, durable and soft towels.
I usually am happy with the quality for the price of Amazon Basics. I hope they never cheap out.

Used to chop and change towels all the time. All that has stopped since I started using these. Have ordered these towels repeatedly now.
1) The dimensions are huge. There is a debate on whether this is a bath towel / bath sheet. Ignore that debate. The towel does what you want it to do, which is to make you dry.
2) And it is par excellence when it comes to drying you. The water absorbency is phenomenal. And it is genuinely usable from both sides. Most towels I’ve used get become unusable from the other side after one side gets soaked from use. Not this one.
I like white towels, and haven’t ordered the Solimo towels because they are never available in white. But I’ve used most of the other towels that are rated 4+ on Amazon and these are by far the best.
![](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/amazon-avatars-global/default._CR0,0,1024,1024_SX48_.png)
Comparing the Quick-Dry vs the Regular version (both AmazonBasics, both same size hand towels):
Quick Dry:
- Extremely soft, more than typical, very nice feel to them
- Dries hands more quickly/easily, soaks up any water it touches instantly, makes better contact with skin
- Wet towel does not dry any quicker than a regular towel, it dries about the same
- Has a texture with a look and feel more like very short fur
- Ideal (and preferred by me) for drying anything that is wet (from hands, to a wet counter)
- Not the best for using as a washcloth (like if you want a big soaked cloth to use to wash your counter/floor)
- Made in India
Regular:
- Typical soft cotton towel feel
- Dries hands like typical towels, not quite as quick to absorb as the quick-dry
- Wet towel dries normally
- Has the typical cotton towel loop texture, course but not rough at all
- Great for drying anything that is wet (from hands, to a wet counter), but the quick-dry works even better
- Ideal for using as a large washcloth (like if you want a big soaked cloth to use to wash a counter/floor
- Made in India
In comparing the two types, it looks like they are both made exactly the same way, perhaps by the same company/factory, using different material, so the only difference is just that, the material.
Recommendation:
Both are nice towels, but when used to dry something wet (hands, body, counters), the Quick-Dry is definitely better, and by far the better choice for many reasons. I definitely recommend them.
Interestingly, it is quite the opposite if they are used as washcloths, when both are soaking wet and used to wash/scrub something, the Regular is definitely better for that alternate use.
