Let me start by saying this little gadget has completely upgraded my handwashing routine. The EKO dispenser isn't just another touchless soap gadget - it's the James Bond of bathroom accessories with its sleek stainless steel finish and lightning-fast 0.2 second response time.
The motion sensor is ridiculously sensitive (in a good way). I've tested it with everything from quick hand waves to slow approaches, and it never misses a beat. No more awkwardly waving your hands like you're conducting an orchestra just to get some soap!
What really surprised me was the battery life. After my initial charge (which took about 2 hours), I've been using it daily for showers and handwashing for three months straight without needing to recharge. The USB-C port is conveniently located at the bottom, though I wish they included a charging cable in the box.
The adjustable foam settings are perfect for different needs - I use the medium setting for daily handwashing and crank it up to max when washing dishes. Pro tip: The 4:1 water-to-soap ratio works much better than the recommended 5:1 for richer foam.
Now for the not-so-perfect bits: While most users report great longevity, mine started acting up after about 5 months (random non-responsiveness). Customer service was... let's say 'minimalist' in their response. Also, be warned - this ONLY works with foaming soap formulas. My first attempt with regular liquid soap resulted in a sad, dribbly mess.
Despite these quirks, when it works (which is most of the time), it's magical. The way it automatically cleans its nozzle after each use means no gross dried soap buildup. And can we talk about how chic this looks? It single-handedly elevated my basic apartment bathroom into something that looks like a luxury hotel.
Final verdict? If you're willing to baby it a bit (and maybe purchase an extended warranty), this dispenser delivers on both form and function in ways that make daily handwashing feel like a spa experience.
