I got this through a rebate and it was absolutely free. However, i would not even want to go back and buy another one. The soap is way too scented. The refills are way too expensive. Works but it's only a nice to have at home.
I like the hands-free soap dispenser format and have been using a nicer/stainless steel version for years in the kitchen. It's great to reduce the spread of germs and bacteria.
This one is OK. I like the no-touch/hands-free format, but this is a cheap plastic dispenser and looks cheap. It's not very attractive to display. There are often free coupons/high value coupons available so you can try it out at low cost. But, I don't like that the refills are proprietary, so you can't use a soap refill of your choice. Instead, you have to buy the refill cartridges. This generates extra waste and cost. To be honest, I would recommend buying a higher end steel version from another brand that allows you to refill with your choice of soap.
I have had a couple of these no touch systems and overall I am impressed. But sometimes they do not work. You put in a new soap refill and it does not work. I have tried replacing the batteries and even taking it apart and letting it dry out as it can get water inside. But this one refused to work. I used it in the bathroom and as soon as I left the room I could hear the soap spilling out into the sink. Very strange I know but that's how it worked. Eventually I had to stop using it. I do love the convenience when your hands are dirty and you need soap fast!
Can't give this top marks as I have gone through 3 of these and am now on my 4th. The battery case is susceptible to leaks of soap. Had to replace them everytime once the batteries started to go. The only reason I kept replacing it is that I love it for the kitchen, especially when dealing with raw meat.
The only issue I had was that the soap would gunk up where it comes out....other than that I love the no touch system.
I thought this was a great idea. The sensor seems to be overly sensitive. Being in the same approximate area and it goes off. My daughter could unintentionally empty the bottle in one handwash session. Turning it off fixes the problem, but defeats the "no touch" system if it has to be turned on to use. Great in theory, but failed execution.
At first I thought this was a great idea and we loved having it in our Kitchen. After a couple of weeks it starting going off on its own and at times not working, I had heard this could happen when the batteries go so I changed them, no change still went off when no one was in the room and at times would not go off when someone was trying to use. I got a second one for the Bathroom which we set up in the kitchen and it did the same thing. Happy I got these for free as they were not worth the money to malfunction as quickly as they did.
The wole idea of this system is great. However I think the dispenser provide way too much soap in each drop which is a waste.
I bought a Lysol Healthy No-Touch Hand Soap System when it first came out, which cost me $20. I was actually not that impressed with the system. It seemed to eat battery life very quickly. I even resorted to turning it off at night to try and save the batteries. This system is now sitting in my closet and I also find that the soap refills aren't very cheap at all. I've gone back to regular liquid soap and won't be going back.
