Let me start by saying, this dispenser is sleek AF. The black/chrome combo looks like it belongs in a luxury hotel, not my chaotic kitchen. But hey, I deserve nice things too.
The no-battery, light-powered feature? Genius. My kitchen lights keep it running 24/7 without me ever worrying about dead batteries. Though fair warning - if you're putting this in a dungeon-like bathroom, it might not work (learned that the hard way).
I'm obsessed with how it works with multiple refill types. One day it's moisturizing soap for my dry winter hands, next day it's sanitizer when flu season hits. The touchless operation makes me feel like I'm living in the future.
BUT (and this is a big but)... I nearly had a heart attack when I walked into my bathroom to find it had turned into a bubble monster overnight. Apparently cold weather makes some units go haywire and empty entire soap bags autonomously. Not cool when those refills cost $35 a pop.
The mounting situation is another adventure. The adhesive strips are about as reliable as my ex's promises - just use screws from the start unless you enjoy cleaning up shattered plastic and spilled soap.
When it works (which is most of the time), it's magical. The adjustable dispensing and low-soap alerts are perfect for high-traffic areas. Three years strong in my office with heavy use! But that ghost-squirting issue? Rubbermaid needs to fix that ASAP before I go bankrupt replacing soap.
