How the Five Compare on the Numbers
Every one of these five publishes a tray diameter and only one publishes a dimension field for the tray itself. The other four are multipacks, so their figures describe a carton. Convert those carton figures back into metric and two of them land on whole centimeters, which means they were never measured in inches, while the other two are round inches and were.
The clearest case is one maker publishing the same three pack twice. One listing gives a carton of 11.81 inches and the other gives 12 inches for the identical set, and 11.81 inches is exactly 30 centimeters. Only one of the five publishes a load figure and only one publishes a dimension field, and they are the same listing.
What the table cannot show is the arithmetic sitting inside three of these carton figures. LAMU’s largest tray is 12 inches and one of its two cartons is 11.81 inches. Guzon’s tray is 11.5 inches and its carton is 11.5 inches, with four trays in it. LANDNEOO’s tray is 10 inches and its carton triple stops at 4.72 inches, with four trays in it. None of the three can be a box.
One Product, Two Cartons, Two Units
Thirty Centimeters on One Listing
LAMU sells a three pack of 9.25, 10.6 and 12 inch trays, and publishes that set twice under two listings with the same size row and the same final bullet. On the first, the carton triple reads 11.81 by 11.81 by 2.56 inches. Convert those and they are exactly 30, 30 and 6.5 centimeters, three whole metric numbers, which is not what inch measurements do.
So the figures on that listing came off a metric drawing. They are also impossible as a box, because the largest tray in the set is published at 12 inches and the carton is published at 11.81. One of those two figures is describing something other than what it claims, and the metric tidiness of the carton set says the carton figures are the ones that were calculated rather than measured.
Twelve Inches on the Other
LAMU’s second listing for the same three sizes gives a carton of 12 by 12 by 2.36 inches. The first two are round inches and the third is 6 centimeters, so this listing mixes the two systems inside one triple. Set the two listings side by side and the same three tray set has a carton of 11.81 inches on one and 12 inches on the other.
The differences between the two listings are cosmetic everywhere else. One calls its plastic acrylic and the other calls it BPA free, one describes three different raised edge heights and the other a single raised edge, and the published weights are 2.3 lb and 2.31 lb. Neither publishes a dimension field, a load figure or a bearing type.
Where a Centimeter Wears an Inch Label
Ten Means Two Different Things
LANDNEOO publishes a 10 inch tray in its size row, in its title and in its first bullet, where the overall size is given as 10 inches by 1.4 inches. Its carton triple then reads 3.94 by 4.72 by 0.79 inches, and those three convert to exactly 10, 12 and 2 centimeters. The number ten appears twice on this listing meaning two different units.
That also makes the carton impossible, since a 3.94 inch box cannot hold a 10 inch tray, let alone the four the listing says arrive. Read the bullet and ignore the triple. The same bullet offers a second diameter of 9.1 inches as an available size, which the row does not mention, and says the tray takes eight cans of a soft drink.
What LANDNEOO Does Publish Properly
The useful detail here is in the surface rather than the size. Its second bullet describes a diamond patterned silicone non-slip face with anti-slip feet underneath, which is the only listing of the five to treat the tray and the base as two separate grip problems. The material is named as BPA free plastic with silicone, and the care instruction is a hand wash and a full dry.
What it does not publish is a weight in any form, a load rating, a bearing type or a rim height. For a four pack that is a lot of silence, and it means the two figures a buyer can actually use are the 10 inch diameter and the 1.4 inch profile, both of which come from one sentence in one bullet.
The Two Sets Measured in Inches
Fractions Only Come Off a Rule
RSVP writes its size as 10.5 inches by 0.75 inches in the row, and its third bullet writes the same measurement as a diameter in halves and a height in quarters. A vulgar fraction is not something anybody arrives at by converting from metric, so this is a genuine inch measurement, and it is the only listing of the five whose three dimension fields hold the tray rather than a box.
It is also the only one with a load figure, at 25 lbs, and the only one in metal, brushed 18/10 stainless steel on steel ball bearings. At 1.2 lb it is the lightest purchase here, though it is also a single tray against four on two of the others. Hand washing is the recommended route and no dishwasher claim appears either way.
Half Inches and a Carton That Is One Tray
Guzon publishes 11.5 inches in its size row, its title and its second bullet, and a carton of 11.5 by 11.5 by 3.5 inches. Both of those figures are round half inches and neither converts to anything tidy in metric, so this is the second native inch set on the page. The carton is the problem again: it is exactly the diameter of one tray, and four trays arrive.
At 4.45 lb this is the heaviest purchase here, which is consistent with four PE trays rather than one. It publishes stainless steel ball bearings, a high edge to keep items in place while spinning, two built in handles, a clear side for seeing the contents, and an instruction to clean with mild soap and water and to keep it out of a dishwasher.
Which One Fits Your Kitchen
The buyer who wants a figure with no unit question in it. RSVP is the pick. Its 10.5 inches by 0.75 inches appears in the size row, in a bullet as a fraction and in all three dimension fields, and nothing on the listing is metric. Brushed 18/10 stainless on steel ball bearings, rated to hold 25 lbs, and 1.2 lb itself.
The buyer who needs four trays and a handle on each. Guzon gives you 11.5 inch trays with two built in handles, a high edge against spills while spinning and stainless steel ball bearings, in PE described as fall resistant. It is 4.45 lb for the four. Take the 11.5 inches from the bullet and disregard the carton triple.
The buyer who wants three sizes in one purchase. Either LAMU listing gives 9.25, 10.6 and 12 inch trays with raised edges and clear sides, rotating on a reinforced base. They publish 2.3 lb and 2.31 lb respectively. Use the tray figures from the final bullet, not the carton triples, which are 11.81 inches on one and 12 inches on the other.
The buyer whose trays will sit on a slick shelf. LANDNEOO is the only one here that publishes a non-slip treatment on both faces, a diamond patterned silicone top and anti-slip feet below. Four 10 inch trays with a 1.4 inch profile, in BPA free plastic and silicone, hand wash and dry. Its carton figures of 3.94 by 4.72 by 0.79 inches are centimeters and should be ignored.
The buyer measuring a shallow shelf. RSVP publishes 0.75 inches of height and LANDNEOO publishes 1.4 inches, and those are the only two tray profiles stated here, against carton heights of 2.36, 2.56 and 3.5 inches on the other three. If a shelf is tight, those are the two listings that have put a figure on the question at all.
What We Could Not Verify
Six questions went looking for a figure on these listings and came back without one.
- Why one LAMU listing publishes a carton of 11.81 inches and the other publishes 12 inches for the same three tray set.
- How a LAMU carton of 11.81 inches holds the 12 inch tray the same listing says is in it.
- What the LANDNEOO triple of 3.94 by 4.72 by 0.79 inches measures, given that four 10 inch trays arrive.
- How the Guzon carton of 11.5 by 11.5 by 3.5 inches holds four trays of 11.5 inches each.
- A load figure for Guzon, either LAMU listing or LANDNEOO, where only one of the five publishes what the tray will carry.
- A weight for LANDNEOO, which publishes none in a field and none in any of its five bullets.
