simplehuman 8 oz. Touch-Free Sensor Liquid Soap Pump Dispenser with Soap Sample, Brushed Nickel

We had the older model of this exact same product, which finally, after perhaps 10 years, stopped pumping, even with fresh batteries. The light would flash, etc., but the motor did not operate. Not a bad run, really. We liked the design and performance of the old one, with some caveats that also apply to the new one, which I'll cover below. Just put into service, the new soap pump is working as expected, so no complaints there. I'll get back to you if it fails before 10 years. Differences in the new one: While shaped similarly and styled essentially identically, it is considerably shorter, so may not hold as much soap (though it is close, if not equal). The old one stood regally behind the sink, perhaps even imposingly. The new one squats submissively. The photo on the Amazon listing kind of looked shorter, so that was not a TOTAL surprise. It's still tall enough, and some might find its less imposing and magnificent height less of a distraction, sink-side. The new one has a QR code under the soap lid to reorder soap; the old one was from the stone age where you had to find and order your own soap. The new one has a small printed branding label near the bottom front, not TOO noticeable, while the old one either didn't, or spilled soap over the years had dissolved it off. I like no label. Like the old one, the battery insertion icons on the bottom are VERY confusing. Do you put them in as shown on the embossed image next to the battery lid, or do the batteries look that way once inserted (which gives opposite polarity results)? The instruction manual had a tiny photo which, once examined closely, made it clear (it was opposite my guess looking at the bottom label). I got battery polarity wrong a time or two with the old one, and it didn't damage the unit, it just didn't work. Generally, when replacing batteries, I made careful note of how the old ones were inserted, as it was working that way, rather than lifting it high and peering at the bottom where the battery lid and label are located. (And yes, the batteries tend to run out JUST AFTER you've refilled it with soap, so not only are you not able to turn it over to insert them, but you've got to be careful about tipping it too much.) Battery replacement inconvenience is a minor quibble with both the old and new models. Put the battery port on the bottom, out of sight, and its inconvenient. I'm fine with it how it is - there are trade-offs in life. (OK, MAYBE you can turn it over with soap in it, see below.) Now for my complaint, which is not really a product review, but an Amazon (and Amazon customer) review: It was missing a critical part, right out of the box. I noticed, as I opened the box, which appeared new and undamaged, that the pump was not securely packed in the box. Later careful examination revealed that the bottom box insert was on top of the pump, and that the top packing insert was missing. Clue: this is an unused, but returned unit. Everything else was there, including the instruction book and sample packet of soap. Second BIG clue: Turning it over to insert the batteries (no soap in it yet, so this rare event is still safe, though the top soap lid does have a seal, so IN PRINICIPLE you could turn it over when filled with soap) - NO BATTERY CAP!!!! The cap was not in the box, in the packaging, etc. and it had NOT fallen out a few seconds earlier when I opened the box. This cap fits securely, so it didn't just fall out of its working location. Maybe they left it out in manufacture? Nope. Another clue that this was a returned unit. Time to set up a return with Amazon? Not yet. We have the old one, now headed for the trash. Maybe the battery door (which has a rubber O-ring seal) is the same? Amazingly, it is. (The soap door, on the top, is NOT the same, so if that had been missing we were SOOL.) This happens with Amazon fairly often: someone returns an item, often a perfectly good item, but first, thoughtfully throws away an important small part, accessory, or instructions, etc.. Amazon warehouse, seeing a superficially OK-looking package with SOMETHING like the product in it, just restocks it and ships it out as new to another buyer (rather than inspecting it and selling it discounted as a return, which they sometimes do, if the packaging is damaged or missing.) I'm 100% sure that Amazon would have replaced this soap dispenser if we'd have complained, but they still should avoid this random restocking of returned items. Pretty much every time I've gotten an item that had signs of having been returned, there has been a problem, sometimes one I could solve (like this) and sometimes requiring a return/replace. I've had it happen more than once on the same product, for frequently returned items. Also, Amazon needs to get a better class of customer, who are more careful when returning items. As we've seen with other retailers over the years, after enough abuse of their return policy, it eventually becomes more restrictive. So work with me here people: only return items when you really need to, not on an inspect/try and return basis, and return everything, so it can be inspected and resold. So: good soap dispenser, but dodgy Amazon returned product handling. Amazon will take care of that last problem if it happens to bite you, so buy the dispenser. It is the best looking of those I've seen, and works fine.

Multiple times a week I found myself cooking, needing to wash my hands, and wishing I had a free hand to get soap without getting the dispenser dirty. I must have thought to myself hundreds of times, "one day I'll get a dispenser that'll solve this issue". After having this internal discussion hundreds of times, I finally did a little research and then settled on this dispenser. I went to America's Test Kitchen to see their best picks for the category (as I often do with kitchen related equipment, I think they give good test-based reviews that seem relatively free of bias) and I settled on ordering this SimpleHuman soap dispenser. SimpleHuman stuff is expensive, but it's a bit of a buy-once cry-once situation with them, and I appreciate having a problem solved and out of my hair rather than needing to address a replacement shortly down the line. Anyway, I've had this for a month now. It works great. It looks sleek, it's easy to fill, the no-drip nozzle isn't over exaggerated, soap is dispensed almost instantly, and there's a great range of adjustment available for quantity. I've probably cut my liquid dish soap usage by 60% since getting this. I find it keeps me from being wasteful and pouring more than I need. I opted for this battery model instead of the newer rechargeable one based on reviews, and I'm glad I did. No complaints. This thing is solid. If you're looking to streamline your cooking and cleaning experience, this is a small but important cog in that machine.

This touch free sensor soap dispenser is great. It's sleek, not too large on the counter and works perfectly. Expensive but very nice!

I've tried a number of these types of pumps, this is by far the best I've tried so far. The controls are simple and it doesn't just spit out soap when you accidentally pass a pot underneath it. For whatever reason, I don't know how it works, soap only comes out when a sponge or my hand is underneath it. I've tried to have soap come out on spatulas and pots and pans, but no-go. It's actually really nice, I hated having soap flying out of these things when I didn't want it. The spout is excellent and does NOT drip at all. I would clean it up with my fingers every now and then to get dried soap off of it, but it's fantastic otherwise. I haven't tried the soap that was included with the pump as of yet, I use this for dish-soap at the kitchen sink. The smaller "compact" pump is plenty big for the kitchen, I couldn't imagine needing a larger one at all. I am only refilling every few months, it really is a perfect size. In fact if you look at most other brands of automatic pumps then this one carries slightly more than those, a larger one isn't necessary. I've tried rechargeable batteries in this thing a couple times and i've had no luck. I also had a small issue with the batteries not seating properly and it wouldn't turn on, but that was only once so far, it hasn't replicated itself. It would be nice if they included a battery orientation on the pump that was useful though. When the cover is removed off the bottom I can't figure out exactly which way the batteries are supposed to be seated with their chart... trust me, you'll see when you buy this (and you should), it's not clear. Just make a note of the orientation when you remove the batteries so you can reinstall new ones properly. Buy it, worth the money.

The bas-relief images of the battery compartment mean the pole shown should FACE you. Meaning, the side that shows the positive (+) pole, means the negative end should go into the compartment and the positive pole (+) should stick out and face you. Vice versa for the negative (-) pole bas-relief image side. The way the battery bas-relief images looks now might make you think the opposite, i.e., that the image presented means that end shown should go into the compartment. However, that is not correct. The dispenser won't operate if you insert the batteries that way. Reverse the batteries and it should work. The dispense stream is powerful. The stream looks and feels like a laser beam (when the AI wars start, Alexa and this soap dispenser will probably team up to attack you, ha, ha). If you are not careful, you will eat through dish soap in a heartbeat, the stream is that intense. The stream cuts off cleanly though, no dripping. Seems built with quality materials and craftsmanship. Has a 2-year warranty. Quality rubber gasket seals are around both fill cap and battery compartment. Rubberized footprint for traction. Very compact (is smaller than it looks in the photos, which is great). Removing the cap to refill the soap is a bit awkward. There is a grip ledge at the end of the cap, but it is hard to get one's fingers under there. I wish they had put grip ledges on the sides of the cap. Would be much easier. So I just cut some grip tape and glued to the sides of the soap re-fill cap and it works fine. Other than that, seems like a very solid product. I recommend it.

So it just occurred to me that I should write a review on this product, after having used the one I purchased for 7 years so far and still running. This is by far one of the best and most useful purchases I’ve made on Amazon. It’s something I use literally every single day, multiple times a day. This thing has never broken and still works just as it did the 1st day I bought it, which is pretty remarkable. I definitely did not expect a product like this to have actual longevity. Amount of soap dispensed is adjustable. Sensor works good. It takes 4 AA batteries. It goes through batteries surprisingly fast, or at least that’s what it feels like to me considering there’s 4 of them in there. But then again maybe that’s just a misconception in my mind, given that I do use it constantly, draining the juice. I would definitely recommend this product based on my experience. I was motivated to write this review because after 7 years of daily use and still being functional this thing definitely deserves a good word for others to consider. It doesn’t necessarily feel super high quality, it’s plastic and you seriously wouldn’t expect it to last. But, other than some normal decay from time and the constant use, it still dispenses soap just fine, every time. Would buy again. (And I hope I didn’t just jinx myself with this review 🤣)

this works so well I now have 3 of them. Easy to clean, easy to fill, easy to adjust and batteries have to be changed about 1x a year

I've got to say, these things are darn convenient and pretty well designed. I love not having to touch a dispenser with dirty hands. I have 5: 4 for hand soap and 1 for dish soap. There are a few flaws that pop up in other reviews, which I'll address in turn below. FIRST: if you're looking to use soap other than Simple Human's refills, you very much can. The trick is to make sure it's not too runny and not too thick. I've got a digital scale at home that measures down to the gram, and I've found the following mix ratio useful: 205g Target's house brand Up & Up Aloe Vera moisturizing hand soap (64 oz) 26g water. To mix, start with the soap, then put in the water. This is important because the feed tube for the dispenser draws from the bottom, and you don't want half of the water to drain into the feed tube before it gets mixed with the soap. This will fill the dispenser to about the point in the product image. Then cap it and gently rock the dispenser back and forth 10 or 20 times until the water is distributed throughout the soap. Why do I tell you the soap type? Because every soap is different, and I've found that the viscosity of the mix you make is VERY sensitive to the ratio. Take this mix as a starting-point recommendation, and feel free to share your experience in the comments. I suspect soap temperature will affect the thickness too, so if you keep your house warmer or cooler than mine (74-76 in the summer) you might have to adjust by a gram or two of water. This particular soap and water combo has worked well for me across four dispensers. Too thick or thin and it won't come away from the dispensing tip completely, then it will dry on and you have to clean it off. If you make your soap too thick, or if you don't use it every once in a while, the soap at the nozzle will dry up and then the dispenser won't work. The beauty of these things is you can take them apart pretty easily to fix that. A philips screw or two and you've got the innards exposed (be careful not to pull the wires loose from between the parts, or you'll have some soldering to do!). The tube that feeds the nozzle is just friction mounted to the nozzle itself, so it's easy to separate them, run hot water through the tube and nozzle, stick a toothpick or something softer in to clear any gummy soap. I had to do this for one I put away for a few months. Finally, I had one other of the recurring problems mentioned: one of my dispensers started spitting out soap randomly. It would happen as soon as I walked into the bathroom and keep going at 5 second intervals. It took me a while to realize it was because one of my compact fluorescent light bulbs was on the fritz, and was messing with the sensor. It wouldn't happen unless the lights were on, and the sun was down (such that the primary light source for the dispenser was this futzy fluorescent). After I replaced the bulb, the ghost dispensing stopped.

めっちゃいい。洗い物するのが面倒に感じない。洗剤を出すのが自動になっただけで、これほど洗い物の面倒くささを感じなくなるとは驚きです。二台かって一台はプレゼントしました。あとは耐久性がどうなのか。これのワンランク上のタイプが故障レビューが多かったのでこちらを購入したが、最低でも二年ぐらい使えるといいね。

Battery operated but they last months, easy a year. We use the liquid Aveno body wash soap in these for hand washing and although it’s a thicker soap we’ve had no issues with it (so far 6-moths). Motion censoring works well. You need to put your hand up closer to the disowning area to activate so no constant accidentally triggering it, unlike some other brands. The see through soap holder is a nice feature so you know when it’s getting low. Easy and wide opening for refilling. It has an adjustable soap flow button so you can adjust it whether it dispenses small or larger amounts, which is good as some soaks don’t lather as much so you may want to adjust it for more. It also has an off feature which I use while cleaning the sink area and dispenser so I don’t accidentally trigger the soap. Handy, tidy, functional and well worth buying a quality name brand. We also bought the solid chrome one for the kitchen. Pleased with both purchases.

Har inte hunnit använda den så länge men vet av andras erfarenhet att det är en bra produkt.

E' arrivato da pochi giorni e quindi l'utilizzo è limitato, ma per ora devo dire che sono molto soddisfatto. Mi sono fidato delle recensioni precedenti ed ho scartato prodotti più economici, ma meno validi o meno pratici (per esempio il serbatoio trasparente permette di valutare in anticipo quando ricaricare il sapone). Il sapone viene erogato in "dosi", vale a dire che l'erogazione non è continua tenendo la mano sotto (il che evita fastidiosi sgoccciolii di sapone), ma per averne di più bisogna togliere la mano e rimetterla sotto La dose è regolabile con i tasti "+" e "-" e contemporaneamente alla pressione dei tasti di regolazione si può testare lo stato delle batteria: si accende un led verde, sulla punta dell'erogatore, per indicare che le batterie sono cariche, altrimenti si accende il led rosso. L'ho provato capovolto e non ho notato perdite di sapone, poiché il tappo è a pressione; non l'ho tenuto capovolto molto tempo, ma nell'immediato non ho verificato perdite. Unica piccola pecca (del resto non risolvibile se non con un interruttore) è che per spostarlo o per rifornirlo di sapone, lo si deve impugnare in modo tale da non passare la mano sotto il sensore altrimenti... farà il suo lavoro e depositerà il sapone sulla mano :-) Per adesso devo dire che il prodotto è ottimo e mi riservo eventualmente di correggere se in futuro le cose cambiassero. **EDIT** RETTIFICO quanto scritto in precedenza: il dispenser si può spegnere tenendo premuti entrambi i tasti "+" e "-" fino a che non si accende il led rosso; da quel momento è disattivato. Per riaccenderlo basta ripetere l'operazione, cioè tenere premuto i due tasti. Per la sensibilità invece devo dire che eroga il sapone solo ponendo la mano a 4/5 centimetri dal beccuccio, per cui, impugnandolo alla base, non si ha alcuna erogazione. Spero che sia duraturo e non si guasti troppo presto perché, per adesso, mi pare semplicemente perfetto. ** Aggiornamento 16/02/2017 ** Ho letto adesso una domanda sulla densità del sapone da utilizzare, per cui racconto la mia esperienza. Difficile stabilire il limite di densità utilizzabile e difficile spiegarlo in questa sede. Diciamo che se il sapone è troppo denso non viene erogato o in quantità minima. Infatti mi è capitato di acquistare un sapone cremoso da dover premere sul flacone ed il dosatore non ce la faceva. Dopo aver svuotato il serbatoio ed aver insistito un po' con le wergazioni (quasi goccia a goccia) sono riuscito a ripristinare la funzionalità. Per il sapone incriminato non l'ho buttato, ma l'ho semplicemente diluito leggermente nella sua confezione aggiungendo un po' d'acqua e portandolo ad una densità buona per il dosatore

Tvålpump funkar inte ...Det skickades tillbaka till Tyskland...blev tvingad att betala kostnaden. Det kostade mig ca 200 kr
