Let me start by saying this touchless soap dispenser has been a LIFESAVER in my messy kitchen. As someone who cooks daily, the 17oz clear reservoir means no more frantic soap refills mid-recipe. The motion sensor works like a charm – most of the time. I’ve had those ‘wave-your-hand-like-a-windshield-wiper’ moments when it occasionally ignores me, but adjusting the soap amount dial usually fixes this.

The rechargeable feature? Absolute genius. My previous battery-operated dispenser died more often than my plants. This one holds charge impressively – though that mysterious blinking blue light had me Googling ‘soap dispenser Morse code’ at 2AM. Pro tip: Keep it at least ¾ full; performance drops when soap levels get low due to what I suspect is a weak pump motor.

Design-wise, the minimalist white pump looks sleek on my countertop (logo could be subtler though). The clear bottle eliminates guesswork – I can actually see when I’m running low instead of that tragic ‘air puff’ moment mid-handwash. It’s surprisingly spill-proof too – no more sticky soap trails across my quartz countertops.

Now the not-so-great: Customer service seems hit-or-miss based on reviews (thankfully mine worked perfectly out the box). Avoid thick or grainy soaps – they clog the mechanism faster than toddler logic. And while great for kitchens, the sensor might frustrate in high-traffic bathrooms where quick hand-waves are common.

Final verdict? At $28-ish, it’s pricier than basic pumps but worth every penny for busy households. Just don’t expect NASA-level reliability – this is more ‘smart appliance’ than ‘indestructible tank’. Would I buy again? Already planning to get one for the guest bathroom!
