Let me start by saying this automatic soap dispenser looks absolutely stunning with its chrome finish. It blends seamlessly into my modern kitchen, and guests always compliment its sleek design. The 1000ml capacity means I only refill it every few weeks - a huge plus for someone who hates constant maintenance.
The touchless sensor works decently well when it's functioning properly. I love not having to touch a grimy soap bottle with dirty hands while cooking. However, like other reviewers mentioned, priming the pump is frustrating. Sometimes I have to wave my hand 3-4 times before any soap comes out, which defeats the purpose of convenience.
The remote control features sound great in theory - being able to adjust soap quantity and switch between foam/liquid modes. But in reality? Good luck figuring it out without instructions! I wasted so much soap just trying to test different settings. The barely visible LED indicator doesn't help either.
My biggest complaint is the inconsistent performance. For the first two months it worked perfectly, then started randomly dispensing soap when no one was near it (creepy!). Other times it wouldn't dispense at all when I needed it most. At this price point, I expected better reliability.
The loud pumping noise doesn't bother me personally, but my partner finds it jarring late at night. If you're sensitive to sounds, this might be an issue in quiet bathrooms.
On the positive side, customer service seems excellent based on others' experiences - they even gave refunds after the return period. That gives me some peace of mind about my purchase.
Bottom line? It's a beautiful product that delivers on aesthetics but falls short on consistent functionality. If they improve the pump mechanism and provide better instructions, this could be amazing. For now, I'd recommend waiting for an upgraded version unless you prioritize looks over reliability.
