FIFO Can Tracker 2-Pack - 2-Tier Rotating Food Can Organizer for Pantry, Expandable Soda Can Storage for Kitchen, Holds 30 Cans of Food or Soda

This FIFO pantry storage organizer dispenser rack has been a game changer for organizing canned goods and drinks. The rack feels well built and sturdy, and it holds a full 54 cans without tipping or wobbling. The slide-out design makes it easy to rotate stock and always use the oldest cans first, which saves time and makes my pantry feel neater. Assembly was straightforward and only took a few minutes with clear instructions. Once it was set up it fit nicely on my pantry shelf and the cans roll smoothly forward when I pull from the front. It doesn’t make any weird noises or stick when loaded, which was a nice surprise compared with cheaper racks I’ve used before. For the price this organizer offers excellent value because it helps keep things orderly and accessible without feeling cheaply made. Overall I’m very happy with it and would buy it again.

I REALLY liked this thing. The quality is great. It can be adjusted for whatever can sizes you want. It was a little tricky to assemble. I found that loading in a few cans helped to provide the stability I needed (having a second stet of hands would have worked as well, but I only have 2 of them!). While it is really great, my kitchen pantry areas is not that big, I just couldn't make it fit in for my needs. Sadly, I had to return them. Side note, I don't see how 54 cans would fit, I would say more like 45-48?

These trackers are well conceived, allowing for older stock to be located and used first with newer stock bringing up the rear. The design is cleaver, but in order to accommodate a variety of can heights it comes with 5 sets of 3 widths of plastic (locking) dowels (2 short, 2 medium, 1 long) that lock the panels together. You use 3 of the 5 sets per kit resulting in three can slots or channels. If you combine 2 kits, you may attach them to yield 7 channels and so forth. I found I needed almost exclusively the short (“C”) dowels and even they were a bit too wide for soup & enchilada sauce (10 oz) cans. Works great for 14.5 oz cans (diced potatos, chili beans, chili, green beans). Thanks to a question answer from ‘SH’ I knew that 3/4” wood dowels could be substituted for the plastic dowels. I found that using 3/4” fender washers with 1/2” #8 pan head screws precluded the need for waiting for glue to set (though I did use some Gorilla glue as reinforcement). Four and 7/16th inch dowels worked well for 10.5 oz soup cans and 10 oz Rotel and Old El Paso enchilada sauce cans. Some people have complained that the wings on the panels that form the channels of too narrow allowing cans to fall through; however, when using the right sized dowels (corresponding to the size of the cans) this has not occurred. Minus one star for having to make my own dowels. The “C” (shortest) dowels are best for most cans on grocery store shelves. If the kits would have shipped with 3 C’s, and 1 each of the A & B dowels, it would easily garner 5 stars. Highly recommend if you don’t mind about one-half hour to customize a couple of kits.

Love the FIFO system I have 4 of these. Easier to see what you have & how many then when they are in a dark pantry on shelves & might get pushed behind other cans. The screws are heavy duty plastic as the over all entire system. They are very easy to use & only weight a few pounds each. When used on a completely flat surface they are very stable & even placed a shelf across the top for a few cans that don't fit in the system. The system is also adjustable to make smaller cans fit as well.

Pros: 1) I had a LOT of fun putting this together. 2) Modular design provides MANY options re: width. 3) Sturdy design. Cons: 1) Not TRULY first-in-first-out, unless .... 2) Sometimes, the can "hangs-up" when trying to remove from bottom row. 3) Won't work w/ cans larger than 15oz; dicey w/ tuna/cat-food cans. 4) About $10 overpriced, especially w/ the problems. I bought two units. This was to take advantage of the modular design, and allow me flexibility in how I'd ultimately arrange the unit(s). These are extremely easy to assemble, and a LOT of fun. Any kid who can build things w/ Legos can put this together. In fact, you might want one to do it for you (see below). It is also a sturdy unit. There is some flexibility at the front, but this is somewhat advantageous for loading/unloading. I immediately began "playing around" to find out its capabilities. Back to that kid. I found the LONG dowels easy to twist, however, the SHORT dowels difficult, but do-able since I have medium sized hands. Small hands would have no problem. Before I move on to the Cons, let me elaborate on flexibility of the modular design w/ some actual dimensions (+/- 1/8"): 1) The width for a single LONG channel, is 7"; but the width for two LONG units is only, 11.5". 2) Width for a single SHORT channel, is 6", the width for two SHORT units is, 9.25". 3) Width for 3 LONG channels (typ assembly), is 16.25", w/ 4 LONG channels at 21" 4) Width for 2 LONG & 1 SHORT channels (alt typ), is 15.25"; 3 LONG & 1 SHORT, 19.75". 5) 2 LONG & 2 SHORT, 18.75"; 3 LONG & 2 SHORT, 23.75"; 4 LONG & 2 SHORT, 28" 6) While I wasn't gonna, 5 LONG & 2 SHORT, 32.25"; 6 LONG & 1 SHORT, 33.75". As others have stated, the middle row does NOT empty second. As the bottom row is used, cans from the TOP row will follow. ONLY when there are no cans in the top row, will the MIDDLE row move into the bottom, but USUALLY only w/ some "nudging" (can also reach into empty top row to aid the lead middle row can). If one loads from the top until both the bottom & top rows are full (the middle will remain empty) and THEN loads the middle row, it will function as FIFO, in a matter of speaking. To avoid an essentially empty channel, one could continue to load the newest cans on the top row, place the OLDEST cans in the middle (from the bottom front), then use the middle row FIRST, which is what I intend on doing IF I keep these units (not finding anything better out there). Due to the opening on both SIDES of the bottom opening, the edge of the can can/will "catch" on the upper edge of the opening. This could easily been avoided, simply by having this area solid. While I haven't done it, I suspect that using masking/duct tape across these openings will prevent this. While I knew by reading reviews that they wouldn't work, but just to round it out, I did play around w/ larger than 15oz cans. Most simply won't fit into the channel. A 18.5oz Progresso soup can will fit into upper row, slide properly, but can't get past the bottom row dowel. Too bad the bottom row wasn't just a little taller. I played w/ two tuna cans. If a single can is loaded flat in either top or middle row, it slides just fine into the bottom (flat). If two cans are loaded together flat in top row (won't fit in middle row opening) they jam trying to get down back chute, but two stacked cans won't fit past dowel anyway (same thing for can on short edge at outer end chases). A can WILL fit on long edge under dowel. PERHAPS, if bottom is first stacked w/ cans on long edge, then MAYBE cans loaded flat on middle row could fall on edge into chute, to replenish bottom row. To be determined by others. One last thought. A single unit comes w/ 12 long dowels & 3 short. A total of 6 will be left over, as noted in instructions. It would have been nice to have instead been given 9 long & 6 short. 6 will still be left over, but this allows more flexibility if two or three units are purchased, re: the number of short channels, especially if the tuna/cat-food can thing works.

Aussi contente de cet achat que celui que j'ai acheté avant.

Very well made. Holds quite a few cans. This storage system has really allowed me to organize my pantry.

The shorter connectors are a bit too short. Smaller cans such as Green Giant Niblets Corn will not fit in the narrower section and they are too small for the larger sections. Correct that and this product would get 5 stars from me.

Great way to organize canned goods. Easy to put together.
