A $15 toilet roll dispenser from Kmart has gone viral after shopper Kev Chang posted an unboxing and demonstration video, leaving Australians racing to their nearest store to snap one up.
The gravity-fed dispenser holds up to seven rolls at a time and features a handy shelf on top for extra storage – perfect for keeping cleaning supplies or room spray within arm’s reach.
While thousands of shoppers are excited about the clever bathroom hack, others have raised some hilarious and practical concerns.
In the video, Mr Chang shows how effortlessly the rolls drop down into place as the top one is used up, keeping toilet paper neatly stored and easily accessible.
But not everyone is convinced their household will get the full benefit of the product.
‘My kids still wouldn’t change the toilet roll,’ one mum wrote, summing up the frustrations of parents everywhere.
Another quipped, ‘I want one, and then I remember I have a 19-year-old son with bad aim. No thanks.’
The design even sparked ideas for alternative uses, with people asking, ‘Would this work with tin cans of soup?’ and ‘Would this fit soft drink cans?’

Unsurprisingly, many users admitted they were already on their way to Kmart to buy the must-have item.
‘Not me running to Kmart today!’ one shopper declared.
Another added, ‘Just ordered online before this video even finished. Whoever designed my bathroom expects me to contort into some kind of Gumby to reach the paper now.’
However, a few hygiene-conscious viewers had reservations.
‘Nope. If people don’t close the lid before they flush, it’s going all over the toilet paper,’ one person pointed out, referring to the infamous toilet plume effect.
Despite the mixed reactions, the $15 gadget has solidified itself as the latest Kmart cult buy, joining the ranks of other viral home organisation products that have taken Aussie bathrooms by storm.
The only real problem is that some shoppers are struggling to find it.
‘Why, why does my Kmart never have these awesome products?’ one frustrated commenter lamented.

Another savvy Australian shopper recently revealed how she built her own custom wardrobe from scratch using budget-friendly Kmart storage buys, and it cost her just $116.
Sharing her DIY creation on TikTok, the woman showcased how she transformed her space with a mix of mesh drawers, wire shelves, and extender brackets – all from Kmart’s affordable home organisation range.
The video quickly gained traction, with viewers praising the simple yet effective solution for maximising storage in small spaces.
With many Australian homes lacking built-in wardrobes, renters and homeowners alike are often left searching for affordable ways to store their clothes without expensive renovations.
Kmart’s budget-friendly selection has become a go-to for those looking to customise their wardrobes based on personal needs.
Whether it’s more shelving for shoes, extra drawers for bulky jumpers, or additional hanging space for clothes, the modular design allows shoppers to create a setup that works for them.
For one DIY wardrobe, the shopper started with a set of mesh drawers priced at $49, which are ideal for storing folded clothes while providing visibility and airflow.
To create more space for hanging garments, she used a two-pack of extender brackets for just $9.

These brackets are designed to work with Kmart’s other custom storage systems, making them a practical solution for small closets.
She then added two wire shelves, priced at $29 each, to display her shoe collection.
The end result was a stylish and functional wardrobe that cost a fraction of traditional built-in storage options.
Not only is this budget-friendly hack a game-changer for those with limited storage, but it’s also renter-friendly.
Unlike permanent built-ins, this setup can be easily moved and adjusted over time, allowing shoppers to experiment with different configurations to find what works best for their wardrobe needs.
Kmart continues to be a go-to destination for Australians looking for affordable home solutions, and this latest DIY trend proves that a stylish, organised wardrobe doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.
Shoppers have flooded social media with praise, with many eager to try the hack themselves.
‘Such a clever idea! So much better than spending thousands on a wardrobe,’ one person wrote.
Another added, ‘This is perfect for renters – I need to do this ASAP!’
