After using the Secura 17oz Touchless Soap Dispenser daily for over a year, I can confidently say it’s a game-changer for hygiene-conscious households. The gunmetal finish adds a sleek, modern touch to my bathroom, blending seamlessly with other fixtures.

The infrared sensor is responsive (most of the time), detecting my hand from about 2.75 inches away. Though occasionally finicky—requiring precise hand placement—it beats touching a grimy pump any day. I love the adjustable dial for controlling soap volume (0.03–0.19 oz per use); it’s perfect for minimizing waste with thicker soaps.

Durability surprised me! Despite surviving multiple falls (including a dramatic sink plunge), the clear reservoir never cracked. The motor held up for years, though like one reviewer, mine eventually struggled with thicker soaps. Pro tip: Stick to thinner formulas (SoftSoap works great) to avoid clogs.

The blue activation light is a fun touch—it feels futuristic at night! Refilling is effortless thanks to the wide top opening, and the wall-mount option saves counter space. Battery life is impressive (4x AA, not included); mine lasted 6+ months with daily use.

Downsides? The screw-on battery cover is annoying compared to snap designs, and rechargeable batteries aren’t recommended. Still, at ~$30 with Secura’s stellar customer service (they replaced a faulty unit after 10 months!), it’s a steal for its longevity and chic design.

Final verdict: If you want a dispenser that combines style, function, and resilience—and don’t mind occasional sensor quirks—this is your winner.
