The early design dispensed too much soap. I returned my first unit and the second one works consistently and dispenses just the right amount of soap. Two flaws: can't determine the remaining amount of soap - just use mine until the soap runs out and fairly messy to refill. There are units at the same price with a much better design and more adjustability.

Great for guest bathroom. Don't have to worry friends are exchanging germs. Will probably buy another one for sunscreen. No mess putting lid back on.

This product is way more reliable than the Sharper Image version. We were glad to see an alternative to that version. The SI versions seem to last only about two to three months before they fail (usually the sensor mechanism).This version has been in service for over five months and is still working well. The three things that I would like to see improved would be: An even lower low setting, although this product is puported to be stainless the bottom shows small signs of oxidation. I would be buying many more if they came in smaller sizes and other colors that would be more suitable for bathrooms

I bought this for a friend of mine and she just loves it. This product should have been designed years and years ago. I would buy it again and again.

I use this in the kitchen, and when you are cleaning poultry or fish it is the best thing since sliced bread. You can wash your hands without getting the soap dispenser all slimy

By Dancer from Oregon on 4/11/2008

By Paul from Naples, FL on 4/7/2008

This dispenser actually dispenses a useable amount of soap (even the thick kind) each and every time. Originally I thought it was dispensing too much even on the lower setting but discovered that I could control it by just removing my hand from the sensor. CAUTION! remove your hand in a downward motion when controlling the amount of soap to be dispensed or it will drip on the counter. The only con to this product is location. Find a place to put it around a sink that will not normally accidentally activate it.

By Donna the Donut from Oak Lawn, IL on 4/4/2008

The soap dispenser comes in a shiny steel finish, one that other stores do not carry. This clean design is practical and functional. It helps keep my counters clutter free and also helps promote cleanliness with the children. I would recommend this product to others.

As for the discoloration I mentioned on the cons, it occurs where the two pieces join together. I think its perhaps a little soap build up. This minor problem does not affect my recommendation as I routinely wipe it down while cleaning so it's no big deal or hassle.

By LARRY from MINOCQUA, WISCONSIN on 3/28/2008

THIS PRODUCT IS WONDERFUL, YOU CAN PUT A INEXPENSIVE GOOD SMELLING SOAP IN IT AND HAVE A REAL SHOW PIECE SITTING ON YOUR COUNTER. SOAP DISPENSER DISPENSES JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SOAP SAVING YOU AS A CONSUMER MONEY. I PLAN ON BUYING MORE.

By Sooner Boomer from Henryetta. Oklahoma on 3/28/2008

I always wash my hands after putting meat in pan. I didn't want to touch the faucet lever and would always use my wrist to turn the water on. This is a great product. I had mine about two weeks when I bought one for my son's family.It really cuts down the risk of spreading germs to other things.

By Moe from MI on 3/25/2008

I purchased this product for my kitchen and I found it pretty handy. The only con I found on this product is it could be a little quieter and a little easier to re-fill.

By Dee Dee from Shaker Heights Oh on 3/21/2008

We use it in the bathroom and find that is less messy to use than a pump dispenser. It also has a large capacity. It is made of easy to clean stainless steel and keeps its good looks.

By John from Madera, CA on 3/9/2008

This product is handy to use in the kitchen and bathroom. It is hands-free so it is convenient to use with DIRTY hands.

By Jimbo from Chicago, Il on 3/7/2008

Looks and works good. Need to find the right kind of soap to work properly.

By Mar from Pomona, NY on 3/7/2008

This is a great product for disabled people who are unable to use bar soap or regular pump dispensers.

By Lin from Saratoga Springs, NY on 2/29/2008

After receiving a hands-free soap dispensor myself for Christmas,I showed mine to a friend who does mechical work. He thought the dispenser was great,so I order one for him. It is now very easy for him to clean up without his dirty hands touching anything. He loves it.

By Frustrated from Maryland on 2/22/2008

Great concept. Delivers soap inconsistently. Sounds like it is struggling to deliver anything & sometimes it dispenses nothing.

By BG from Murrieta, CA on 2/22/2008

The volume to dispense is easily set and using the product is intuitive.

By Linda from Nassau, Bahamas on 2/16/2008

I love it because it's hands free, stays clean and easy to use.

It is the perfect compliment to my stainless steel kitchen. I just ran out of dish liquid and forgot how I was able to fill the reservoir initially. I have turned every possible removable piece. I just may have to order another :(.

By Looking for the Best Ground Speed from Deep in the Heart of Hood County, Texas on 1/30/2008

It's great if your hands are dirty and you do not want to touch anything. I set the soap dispense rate at minimum. If you want less soap into your hand, you will have to move you hand downward from the motion sensor to get even less soap. I found the soap flow at the minimum setting is most generous for what I need. The viscosity of the soap may affect dispense performance. As for a bargain, I thought it was a bit pricey-a coupon or free shipping would have helped. I bought it through Brookstone's internet store which works for me! It was given as a gift because it matched the kitchen and I was behind being close to Christmas. The gift was well received by all!!

By JAG from Boston, MA on 1/27/2008

I bought one for my sister and father for Christmas. It looks great and works perfectly. I just placed another order for 3 more. I love these things.

By Grateful daughter from Orlando, FL on 1/25/2008

Tried to find a product that would make life easier for my parents -- one of whom has rheumatoid arthritis and very limited use of hands and the other with one arm. This product worked so well for both of them that I bought two more and my folks couldn't be happier.

Love this! I use it in the kitchen. I like to hold the sponge in front of sensor and then I have the right amount of soap to scrub pans and dishes. Just bought another one as a birthday gift for someone who is hard to buy for.

By John the Good Husband from Tallmadge Ohio on 1/18/2008

It is purfect at the kitchen sink when your hands are covered with food and you don't have to push a plunger to get cleaned up

By Jessie from Centennial, CO on 1/18/2008

I handle a lot of meat when I cook and this is so handy to wash my hands as many times as I need to without worrying about contaiminating any other surfaces.

By jk from Dallas, OR on 1/14/2008

I love the convenience of not having to touch the soap dispenser! It works great and looks nice.

By K. Weber from Auburn, NY on 1/14/2008

Virtually no clean up after use.

By A Mom from Sonoma on 1/13/2008

This was the one product I am so happy was made available. We have one on each room and I am thrilled with the entire package. Love it especially in the kitchen so that I do not have to touch anything after handling raw products.

By [...]Buyer from Asheville, NC on 1/12/2008

This soap dispenser is so handy and never makes a mess. It makes you want to wash your hands just to use it!

By Gadget Guy from Hagerstown, MD on 1/12/2008

Great dispenser for soaps or lotions without the messy pumps. Nice for liquid soaps in the kitchen. Prevents unnecessary spread germs to others by having to touch conventional dispensors with dirty hands first. Can be erronenously set off if it is too close to work areas and something passes too close by the sensor. Good product overall and looks great anywhere. Highly recommended.

By Don from San Jose, California on 1/12/2008

We bought ours for the kitchen. When you press on the top of a soap container to squirt soap, you leave what ever was on your hand on the soap container. Later, you get it on your hands when touching the container. This can be a problem, especially with raw chicken. This product helps prevent cross contamination of food.

By V. M. from Chicago Area on 1/11/2008

Great design, would like to see it in different finishes.

By Geenee from San Antonio. TX on 1/11/2008

I use it in the kitchen and sent one to each of my married children for Christmas.

By kristine from Suffolk, VA on 1/11/2008

I bought this to replace a pump dispenser. It goes great with my stainless steel sink and appliances. The only drawback was getting used to how long to leave your hand under the spout so that soap didn't continue to dispense and get on the counter.

By SIUC Mom from Effingham, IL on 1/11/2008

My husband loves this dispenser. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is a little too large. But the design is nice and it works flawlessly.

By MD from Sarasota, FL on 1/11/2008

I was tired of pushing on a liquid soap dispenser to wash my dirty hands when cooking because the soap dispenser became contaminated with the germs on my hands. This hands-free soap dispenser is so much more sanitary and easier to use than the regular dispenser from the store.

By lonnie from desert hot springs on 1/11/2008

We like the size of the soap reservoir and ease of priming the pump. It looks great in our master bath.
I plan to get another for the guest bathroom and maybe one for my sister.

By Carol from Twinsburg,OH on 1/11/2008

We put this in our most used bathroom. It is stylish and practical.

By italjim from nyc on 1/11/2008

Looks great and works as expected. Leave your hand under the dispenser until it's done and then slightly wipe as you pull your hand back. I agree that more settings for more/less quantity of soap would be helpful. Great in the kitchen to reduce spread of contamination from raw food.

By Nate from Cocoa, FL on 1/7/2008

Excellent product. Adds a little high tech to my guest bathroom

By Deer in the Woods from Ada, Oklahoma on 1/7/2008

This was a gift for my husband, who really dislikes germs. He put it in his bathroom and now I have to get one for me because I find myself in his bathroom just so I can use it! It is a very ingenious way to keep germs from spreading. The dirtiest hands do not have to touch anything before they are clean.

By mrs.clean from manchester n.j. on 1/6/2008

I have a newborn and this product is great for when I have the baby in one hand and need a little soap.

By CVBYINGTON from Gahanna, OH on 1/5/2008

I purchased this for my mother who suffered a stroke and recently came to live with us. She has no use of her left arm and it seemed difficult for her to use the push down foam soap dispensers. This product is PERFECT! I had to position it so she wouldn't accidently activate it, but now it works great and my 4-yr. old uses it too!! It's stylish and doesn't make her feel like it's something just for "disabled" people. It's in our guest bathroom, so everyone uses it!

By Ellie from Northeast Texas on 1/5/2008

I bake professionaly and I am careful to be sanitary. This dispensor is even better then the wall mounted versions. Hands free means no cross contamination.

By Cook with clean hands from Brooklyn, NY on 1/5/2008

I use the hands-free soap dispenser in the kitchen and is perfect when you need to wash your hands after handling raw meat. The stainless steel design blends in well in the kitchen. I'm very happy with this purchase.

By Disco Lady from Upstate NY on 1/5/2008

For Christmas gifts our family opened up 3 Hands Free Soap Dispensers. Two at the same time from 2 different people. At first I thought this is just a modern thing that I would not use, but I was wrong. I have it on my kitchen sink and when I am dealing with meat products I use this hands free dispenser and I don't get any meat residue on the soap dispenser. This seems very healthy to me. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that it dispenses too much soap even when it is on the lowest setting.

By Banker from St. john, Indiana on 1/5/2008

Use it everyday but sensor is hit and miss.
