After using the Philorn Automatic Soap Dispenser for a month in my kitchen and bathroom, I'm impressed by its touchless convenience. The infrared sensor works like magic - just wave your hand and voilà, a dollop of foam appears! This has been a lifesaver when handling raw chicken or messy crafts with my kids.
The 4-level volume adjustment is brilliant. Setting 1 gives a dainty puff perfect for my toddler's tiny hands, while level 4 delivers enough foam for serious dishwashing sessions. Though be warned - the touch button requires firm presses (almost like convincing a stubborn elevator button).
Battery life is stellar. After initial charging, it's lasted through three weeks of family use without complaint. The USB-C charging is modern and convenient - no hunting for AA batteries at midnight!
Now the quirks: This absolutely demands diluted soap (I do 60% water to 40% dish soap). My first attempt with pure liquid soap resulted in sad sputters rather than luxurious foam. Also, while advertised as multi-purpose, it truly shines only with foaming applications.
The self-cleaning feature works surprisingly well after I accidentally let soap residue build up. A warm water rinse followed by the cleaning cycle had it working like new.
For $30-ish, this dispenser brings spa-like hygiene to everyday handwashing while cutting down on soap waste. Just remember - dilute, dilute, dilute! 4.5/5 stars (would be perfect if the button was more responsive).
