Quick answer

Three black hamper options are compared here by their listed size, and the sections below use each product’s own listing data. IEGrow Laundry Hamper with Lid lists 10″ L × 10″ W × 10″ H; Lifewit 105L Large Laundry Hamper lists 16.9″ L × 13″ W × 29.5″ H; Simple Houseware Double Laundry Hamper lists 24.25″ L × 13.5″ W × 25″ H. By listed floor footprint, Lifewit 105L Large Laundry Hamper is the smallest (1.53 sq ft) and Simple Houseware Double Laundry Hamper the largest (2.27 sq ft). A footprint could not be compared for IEGrow Laundry Hamper with Lid because the listing gives conflicting, missing or unlabelled depth and width. Specifications come from Amazon listing data checked October 4, 2026; we have not tested these products. Recheck the selected variant and the current price on Amazon before ordering, because titles and specification fields can change.

1. IEGrow Laundry Hamper with Lid,110L Laundry Basket with Mesh Bags,Black — Footprint not comparable (conflicting listing dimensions)

Listed details: dimensions 10″ L × 10″ W × 10″ H (a listing bullet gives 17.3 × 13.2 × 29.1 in (axes not labelled in the listing)); item weight 1.1 kg; material Cloth, Bamboo; color Black.

iEGrow sells a black collapsible laundry hamper with a lid and a removable inner bag, rated at 110 liters, which the bullets convert to 29 gallons. The size data conflicts: the spec table says 10 by 10 by 10 inches, while a bullet gives 17.3 by 13.2 by 29.1 inches, and the bullet says it folds down to 2 inches high. The 10-inch figure looks like a placeholder, so verify before measuring a closet. The material is listed as cloth and bamboo, with four detachable rods and a bamboo handle. The item weight is 1.1 kg. The listing does not give a weight capacity.

Pros

• Collapsible: the bullets say it folds to 2 inches high for a closet or suitcase
• 110-liter capacity, the largest single-bag volume of the three, with a removable machine-washable inner bag
• Bamboo handle and a lid said to keep odors in

Cons

• Size conflict: 10 x 10 x 10 inches in the specs against 17.3 x 13.2 x 29.1 inches in a bullet, so its footprint cannot be compared
• No weight capacity is stated, unlike the Lifewit’s 35 pounds
• Four detachable rods must be put together each time it is set up, and the cloth and bamboo build is not rated for load

Who it is for / who should skip it: A fit for a dorm or a closet where you need a large hamper that folds flat. Skip it if you need a verified size or a stated load rating.

2. Lifewit 105L Large Laundry Hamper with Lid, Removable Inner Bag, Black — Smallest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 16.9″ L × 13″ W × 29.5″ H; material Polyester; color Black.

Lifewit lists a black 105-liter hamper with a lid, a removable inner bag and a plastic frame with four support rods. The size is 16.9 inches long, 13 inches wide and 29.5 inches tall, and the bullets say the weight limit is up to 16 kg or 35 pounds. The material is polyester, with tear-resistant stitched handles on both sides. The bullets suggest it holds 4 to 5 loads, or a week of clothes. The listing says assembly means unfolding the bag, inserting the support rod, attaching the hook and fitting the inner bag. No item weight is listed in the data.

Pros

• Smallest footprint at 1.53 sq ft (16.9 x 13 / 144), with labeled, consistent dimensions
• Only one with a stated load: up to 16 kg or 35 pounds without collapsing, per the bullets
• Handles on both sides and a removable inner bag for trips to the laundry room

Cons

• At 105 liters it holds 5 liters less than the 110-liter options (110 – 105)
• Single compartment only, so there is no built-in way to separate colors
• The listing does not give an item weight or say whether the hamper folds flat

Who it is for / who should skip it: Choose it for a single-bag hamper in a narrow gap where a stated load rating and a clean size record matter. Skip it if you want to sort colors.

3. Simple Houseware Double Laundry Hamper with Lid & Removable Bags, Black — Largest listed footprint

Listed details: dimensions 24.25″ L × 13.5″ W × 25″ H; material Polypropylene; color Black.

Simple Houseware sells a black double hamper with two compartments, a lid and two removable mesh bags with handles. The size is 24.25 inches long, 13.5 inches wide and 25 inches tall, and the listing gives 110 liters as the capacity, without saying whether that is for each side or the whole unit. The bullets mention two U-shaped rods, six supporting rods and sturdy panels on the lid and base. They also claim heavy duty 600D polyester and a water-resistant surface, while the spec table lists the material as polypropylene. No weight capacity is stated.

Pros

• Two compartments for sorting lights and darks, with two removable mesh bags
• Reinforced frame: two U-shaped rods and six supporting rods, plus panels on the lid and base
• Water-resistant surface is listed for bathrooms and laundry rooms

Cons

• Largest footprint at 2.27 sq ft (24.25 x 13.5 / 144), 0.74 sq ft more than the Lifewit (2.27 – 1.53)
• Capacity of 110 liters is not split by compartment, and no weight limit is stated
• Material is polypropylene in the specs but 600D polyester in a bullet, so the real fabric is unclear

Who it is for / who should skip it: Pick it if you want to sort laundry into two sides and have about 24 inches of wall. Skip it for a narrow gap or if you need a stated load.

What to check before buying black hamper

Start with the gap. Black hampers vary from a slim single bag to a wide double. The Lifewit is 16.9 inches by 13 inches, giving 1.53 sq ft, and the Simple Houseware is 24.25 by 13.5, giving 2.27 sq ft. The iEGrow conflicts: its spec table says 10 by 10 by 10 inches while a bullet says 17.3 by 13.2 by 29.1 inches, so rely on the larger bullet size only after you verify it on the listing, and do not compare it by footprint.

Second, capacity. The listings give 110, 105 and 110 liters, a small spread. The real difference is the shape: the Simple Houseware splits into two bags but does not say how the 110 liters is divided. The Lifewit says 4 to 5 loads. If you do two color loads a week, the split matters more than five liters.

Third, strength. Only the Lifewit states a limit, 35 pounds or 16 kg. The other two list none. A fabric hamper filled with wet towels or jeans can be heavy, so a missing figure is a gap to check before you rely on it.

Fourth, folding. The iEGrow bullets say it folds to 2 inches high. The Lifewit and Simple Houseware listings in the data do not mention folding. If you move often or need to store it, that is a real difference.

Fifth, the lid and the bag. All three have a lid and removable bags. A removable bag lets you carry laundry to the machine, and the iEGrow bag is described as machine washable.

Sixth, the material data. The Simple Houseware lists polypropylene in the specs and polyester in a bullet, and the iEGrow lists cloth and bamboo. Check the product images if you care about the fabric.

Decision rule: foldable, iEGrow; stated load and a narrow gap, Lifewit; two-way sorting, Simple Houseware.

Worked example: fit math for these three options

This worked example is our own planning arithmetic from the listed dimensions, not test results. The wall length and walkway width are assumed example values; replace them with your measurements.

Wall example. Assume 36 inches of clear wall.

• Lifewit 105L Large Laundry Hamper: 36 − 13 = 23 inches spare; centred, 11.5 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.
• Simple Houseware Double Laundry Hamper: 36 − 13.5 = 22.5 inches spare; centred, 11.25 inches on each side before trim, plugs or curtains.

Walkway example. The US Access Board gives 36 inches as the minimum clear width for an accessible route. That figure is a yardstick, not a rule for private homes. To keep 36 inches clear beside each product, the walkway between it and the opposite obstacle must be at least 36 inches plus its depth:

• Lifewit 105L Large Laundry Hamper: 36 + 16.9 = 52.9 inches of total path width.
• Simple Houseware Double Laundry Hamper: 36 + 24.25 = 60.25 inches of total path width.

Footprint. Depth × width, converted at 144 square inches per square foot:

• Lifewit 105L Large Laundry Hamper: 16.9 × 13 = 219.7 sq in, or 1.53 sq ft.
• Simple Houseware Double Laundry Hamper: 24.25 × 13.5 = 327.38 sq in, or 2.27 sq ft.

Mistakes to avoid

• Using the iEGrow spec size. It says 10 x 10 x 10 inches, while a bullet says 17.3 x 13.2 x 29.1 inches. Verify before buying.
• Assuming 110 liters per side. The Simple Houseware lists 110 liters without splitting it between its two bags.
• Trusting the fabric name. The Simple Houseware specs say polypropylene and a bullet says 600D polyester.
• Skipping the load check. Only the Lifewit states a limit, 35 pounds. Wet laundry is heavy.

Frequently asked questions

How big is a 105 to 110 liter hamper?

The Lifewit is 105 liters at 16.9 by 13 by 29.5 inches and the Simple Houseware is 110 liters at 24.25 by 13.5 by 25 inches. The iEGrow also lists 110 liters, but its size fields conflict. Measure the space before you buy.

Can I fold a black laundry hamper flat?

The iEGrow bullets say it is collapsible and folds to about 2 inches high with four detachable rods. The Lifewit and Simple Houseware listings in the data do not mention folding, so check the current listings if storage space matters.

How much weight can these hampers hold?

The Lifewit lists up to 16 kg or 35 pounds without collapsing. The iEGrow and Simple Houseware list no weight limit. Because wet clothes can be heavy, check the current listing or avoid filling a hamper to the top.

Is a double hamper better for sorting?

The Simple Houseware has two compartments and two removable mesh bags, so you can separate lights and darks without a second hamper. It is 24.25 inches long, which is a wider footprint, and the listing does not say how the 110 liters are split.
