simplehuman ST1023 237ml Automatic Hand Motion Liquid Soap Dispenser, Volume Control, Brushed Nickel

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

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.

It's well packaged. Arrives pretty quickly. Great delivery. It comes with a complimentary packet of hand soap. It's well made. Strong and sturdy. The opening at the top for pouring in the soap is wide and easy to access, therefore making it very easy to refill the soap dispenser. The sensor is sensitive so as soon as it detects your hand soap is dispensed. The amount of soap to be dispensed can be set by pressing the plus or minus button on the top. Good performance, long battery life, splashes from hand washing doesn't affect its performance. I have never regretted buying these and never will, great product, well made and worth every penny. A definite recommendation.
