Let me start by saying this automatic soap dispenser has been a game-changer for my bathroom routine. The hands-free operation is fantastic, especially when my hands are dirty from cooking or gardening. The infrared sensor works like a charm, dispensing just the right amount of soap (about 0.8-1ml) every time.

The 21oz capacity is perfect - I only need to refill it every couple of weeks, which is way better than constantly topping up smaller bottles. The transparent chamber makes it super easy to see when it's running low. I've used it with various liquid soaps and hand sanitizers without any issues (though as noted, foaming soap doesn't work).

Installation was a breeze - I opted for the wall mount using the included adhesive strips, and it's held up perfectly for months now. The lock design gives me peace of mind that kids won't make a mess with it.

Now for the not-so-perfect parts: The battery compartment feels a bit flimsy, and like some other reviewers mentioned, the lid doesn't always sit perfectly flush after locking. I've also noticed that with thicker soaps, adding just a tiny bit of water helps with smoother dispensing.

The biggest win? No more messy soap pump handles! My bathroom counter stays cleaner, and guests always comment on how futuristic it feels. Despite its minor flaws, this dispenser has become an essential part of my home - so much that I'm considering getting another one for the kitchen.
