Let me start by saying this VKM automatic soap dispenser is a sleek addition to any bathroom or kitchen. The silver metal baking paint gives it a premium look that stands out, and the IPX6 waterproof rating means you don't have to worry about splashes.
The touchless operation works like a charm - just wave your hand under the nozzle and voila! Perfect amount of soap every time. I especially appreciate the 5 adjustable levels (most competitors only offer 4). Level 3 seems to be the sweet spot for hand washing.
The USB-C charging is a game changer. No more corroded batteries! A full charge lasts months, and the LCD screen clearly shows battery life - no guessing games here.
Now for the not-so-great parts: Some users report difficulty opening it (you really need to twist hard). Also, while it works great with foaming hand soap, don't expect miracles with thicker substances like dish soap or conditioner - it tends to produce bubbles rather than proper foam.
A minor annoyance is the occasional drip from the nozzle. Easy fix though - just place a small silicone mat underneath.
Pro tip: If you're using it for lotion (yes, people do this!), thin your product slightly for best results. The wide mouth makes refilling super easy.
Bottom line? At around $20, this is a solid choice for hand soap dispensing with some clever extra uses. Just temper your expectations for thicker liquids.
