these are great! i hated how my husnabd would use a bar of soap and leave it all dirty but now its all hands free and that mkaes me happy! now i dont have to clean the soap first before i go to clean my own hands lol! a bit pricey but other than that its great!
My Thoughts:
- Looks great. They come in either plain white or stainless so it will go with any bathroom.
- Good quality. Soap comes out every time you put your hand under it and there is no soap dripping. It is not messy.
- Easy to set up.
- Smells nice. There are many different soap scents.
- Antibacterial!
I love these!
I have been using this product for a few months now and i love the concept of it but that is about it..
the soap itself does not work very well. I have mine in the kitchen and i find i have to wash my hands several times for the soap to work..
I have only had it dispense soap when i didn't want it to a few times, But it is out of the way.
I bought this thinking it would be good for my toddlers washing their hands. I don't like it. Everytime you move the unit or get close to it it goes off and you wind up with a puddle of soap. At the price of almost $5 for a refill I will not be using this anymore.
Pros
~ Soap smells great & lathers well.
~ Unit dispenses soap evenly each time.
~ Easy for young children to use. (my son is five)
~ Had my kids washing their hands more, however the novelty wore off over time.
Cons
~ PRICE!!! $14.98 for the unit plus one refill. To me, that is a high price to pay for hand soap.
~ PRICE!!! $4.98 for each refill thereafter. (refills are 251ml.)
~ Just another gimmick that takes batteries! Cannot comment on battery life as my batteries have yet to run out.
~ No colour options! Only comes in white. My decor both bathroom & kitchen is stainless & black.
~ Look! I don't find it to be that pleasing to the eye. Plastic-y & cheap looking.
~ No option to refill the bottle with your own choice of soap. Meaning you HAVE to buy Lysol's refills. (or do you? See below for a nifty trick)
~ Finally here is my opinion on usefulness... When I wash my hands and I'm sure you'll all agree with me here... I turn on the faucet, pump soap onto my hands, wash my hands and turn off the faucet. I never return to touch the soap pump again. Meaning any germs I picked up off the soap pump would have "in theory" been washed away by the hand washing process. So wouldn't our money be better spent on a hands free FAUCET? Makes more sense doesn't it. ;)
Final Thought
All in all, I would not purchase this product again. Nor would I suggest it to others. Just another pricey gimmick to add to the junk pile. I'll stick with my soap pump which is much more pleasing to the eye and just as functional. Though I must say my kids still think it's a pretty neat idea.
Now, the refill secret.
I searched around because I was sure someone would have come up with a refill solution. I found it on Youtube. Thx to whomever made the video. Also I found my slim tip bottle at Dollarama, in the kitchen utensils isle. Who can argue with spending a buck.
