IKEA VARIERA bag dispenser: check cabinet-door clearance
Plan bag access and cabinet clearance before adding VARIERA. Keep a useful supply of bags rather than turning a dispenser into overflow storage.

What to compare ↓
Direct answer
Consider VARIERA if loose reusable plastic bags repeatedly fill a drawer and you have a convenient place to retrieve them. Skip it if you retain only a few bags or cannot spare the cabinet depth. Sorting the bag pile first may reveal that a small existing container is enough.
Verified product dimensions
The white polypropylene model is article 800.102.22. IKEA lists width 6¼ inches, depth 5⅛ inches and height 17¾ inches, and says it can be mounted inside a cabinet. Care is wiping with water or non-abrasive detergent, then drying. No fixed bag count or mounting load rating was verified.
Measure with the door closed
Mock up the full depth with an empty box before fixing anything. Close the door slowly and check clearance from shelves, waste bins and plumbing. Also check the opening arc: an item that fits when closed may collide during movement. Leave room at the top for loading and around the access openings for your hand.
Set a storage limit
Keep only clean, dry bags you actually expect to reuse and avoid packing them so tightly that pulling one dislodges others. Follow the supplied mounting instructions and confirm suitable hardware for your surface; no universal adhesive performance is assumed. US shoppers should match 800.102.22; Israeli shoppers should confirm local dimensions and mounting contents. No destination offer or shipping was verified.
Compare by how you will use it
| Your use | What to check before buying |
|---|---|
| Dispenser versus simple bin | A dispenser gives access through openings; a bin makes it easier to inspect the whole supply. Choose according to how often you retrieve and sort bags. |
| Door mounting versus cabinet space | Door mounting changes the clearance needed throughout the door's movement. Test the full motion, not only the available wall area. |
Buying in the United States
Set your delivery ZIP code before comparing offers. Check shipping charges, taxes shown at checkout, the return window and whether a third-party seller handles fulfilment. A US retailer listing does not establish availability at your address.
