Better LivingProducts FOAMING Dispenser, Black

I'm just updating this review. Just bought another one for another bathroom. This is a great product. If you are trying to figure out which one of these you should buy so you can put your own soap and refill it often this is the one. Most people think the issue is keeping the screen clean or it getting clog. But the real issue is the "recovery" -- how quickly does the aparatus come back up so you can get a second or third pump. On most of these you need two or three pumps and you don't want to wait between them. This dispenser has a quick and reliable recovery -- immediatley recovers and keeps on doing that without any cleaning or maintenance. In fact, I have never done any maintenance on this dispenser. Occasionally I wash out the container just to keep it fresh. But the mechanical aspects need not maintenance and I have had it for almost two years. I use pure Dr. Bronner's castile soap with some water. Great dispenser. Helps keep soap costs down and allows me to use the soap I want (which can be a little pricey.I was looking for a way to do a refillable foam dispenser and this has been a great solution so far. The ones in the store don't really refill and last long unless you buy their soap, but this one solves that. It does not clog (which is easy to clean) but, most importantly its springs do not wear out or clog so it is easy to pump it 2 or 3 times in a row with it bouncing back each time -- which is a big deal. I use pure castile soap and it works like a charm. Looks great, works great, wouldn't change a thing. If it lasts (I've had it a month) then it will save me a bunch on soap costs and let me use the castile soap that I love so much (but needs to be diluted).

I chose this dispenser for work for several reasons:• Foam is fun.• Foamy soap uses less soap (and less water if you pump before turning the faucet on).• The design is simple but effective.• The white color looked elegant enough.I was not disappointed—I just set it up and it works beautifully with my Dr. Bronner's Castile soap. I like that soap but it doesn't feel really smooth, and turning it into foam fixes that problem. (Note I also mix in a tiny bit of ordinary hand soap.)The white dispenser looks nice. I will continue to monitor it and see if after a few days of use it still looks pretty, it's hard to know with whites. (Update—yes, it does! Still looking pretty.)I really appreciated that although the product arrived with a 'sticker' encasing it, it was more like a cling and was easy to remove and left no residue. That earns it extra special bonus points.Also, the soap container has measuring points on it; a 60% for water, 20% soap, and 20% air, so you can make the perfect foam mixture with no trouble.Recommended!

I just purchased my second dispenser today in order replace the first one that I bought on Amazon Feb 8, 2015. When I refilled the pump today, I noticed a thin ring of plastic was loose and when I tried to pull it off I realized the neck with the screw threads on it was separating from the body of the bottle. I managed to refill it and screw it back together until the replacement arrives. So, this has lasted almost 2 1/2 years (that pro-rates to 51 cents a month - not bad). I am replacing it because it has had constant, daily use next to my kitchen sink and has served its purpose well. Unfortunately, when you walk in my front door you are in my kitchen. I have black granite counter tops and dark bronze faucets. The last thing I want is a brightly colored or chrome soap dispenser waving "hello" first thing as you enter the house. I didn't want glass (slippery hands+granite = possible shortened life span). This has a semi-grippy material on the bottom, so it stays put pretty well. If it falls over, no harm done. I like that the top is broad and you can push on it about anywhere in order to dispense. Bonus: with wet, slippery hands I can push down with my left wrist while holding a dish brush in my right hand and get a dollop of foam without stopping what I'm doing. I use it to wash hands, soap up the sponge to wipe down the kitchen and pre-rinse the dishes before I throw them in the dishwasher. I fill it with organic, liquid coconut soap. I don't water it down. I did in the beginning, but I prefer the soap full strength. I do stop at the air line, so that the pump functions properly. It makes the soap (which is not cheap) last much longer! I agree with another reviewer that the outside black material is a bit odd, almost like a rubbery plastic. It can show fingerprints or spills. I wipe it off with a sponge, but if it gets too manky I just put it under the faucet, give it a light scrub with the dish brush and then wipe dry. It's the correct balance of practicality and aesthetics for me, hence the second purchase. I hope my second one performs like the first (sometimes after a product is on the market a while, the manufacturer decides to cut corners and subsequent purchases are not as good as the initial experience). If it doesn't match the performance of the first dispenser, I'll update this review.

Works great

Muy buena compra, funcional y ahorra bastante jabón, aunque hay que estar rellenando, en mi caso aproximadamente cada semana

Comprei para o meu filho, adorou tamanha bom e faz muita espuma. Recomendo.

Buen material , buen precio y funcional.

Ich hatte diesen Spender schon mal und das einige Jahre. Bin nach wie vor begeistert, da man es nicht irgendwo festschrauben muss und edel aussieht. Das was ich bemängeln muss, ist der preisliche Unterschied zu meinem ersten Kauf.....10 Euro:-(((
