Let's talk about the KESTERRA Automatic Soap Dispenser - a sleek, touch-free solution that's been living on my bathroom wall for months now. The infrared sensor works like a charm, even when my hands are covered in flour from baking disasters. No more greasy pump handles!
The 21oz capacity is a game-changer. I only refill it every 3-4 weeks (and I wash my hands obsessively). The transparent chamber is genius - no more surprise soap shortages mid-handwash. Though fair warning: the first time I refilled it, I definitely spilled soap everywhere because I got too excited and poured too fast.
Installation was straightforward, but measuring that exact 15.7-inch height recommendation felt like solving a trigonometry problem. Once mounted though? It stays put. The ABS plastic feels sturdy enough to survive my occasional clumsy bumps.
Now for the quirks: The dispenser sometimes gets shy with thicker soaps - my lavender hand soap needed some encouragement (aka waving my hand like I'm casting a spell) to come out smoothly. And while most reviews rave about battery life, mine needed new AAs after about 5 months of heavy use.
Pro tip: Keep the included key in a safe place! That little guy is crucial for opening the container without making a mess. Learned that the hard way when mine went missing for a week.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely - already gifted one to my mom who now feels like she's living in the future every time she washes dishes. Just don't expect it to be perfect with every soap consistency out there.
