hansgrohe Bath and Kitchen Sink Soap Dispenser, Talis 4-inch, Modern Soap Dispenser in Stainless Steel Optic, 40448801

Purchased my first under-counter soap dispenser in 2014 during a kitchen remodel (and off-brand). It worked for 5 years but was never great - from that experience, I assumed soap dispensers were never gonna be completely satisfactory (they would clog or not draw soap fully up sometimes). I finally decided enough was enough & started “the great soap dispenser search of 2021” :-) 5 mid-priced, unsatisfactory dispensers later , I finally decided to stop being a cheapskate & ordered the Hansgrohe (have a Hansgrohe Talis faucet in Steel Optik finish). Oddly the design of the Talis soap dispenser is not exactly a match for the Talis faucet - it close enough but strange how Hansgrohe didn't mimic the shape of the talis faucet - not a big deal. Also, the steel optik finish of the faucet is slightly deeper than that soap dispenser, so close its almost hard to tell. The function of the Hansgrohe Soap Dispenser is awesome & clearly a well made product - much heavier & solid than other dispensers I tried. The outlet of the Hansgrohe also has a hidden rubber tip for clearing/cleaning dried soap residue. The Hansgrohe is the best soap dispenser I have ever used - works perfectly & built to last a lifetime. In fact, all Hansgrohe products I’ve used have been exceptional. Design-wise, the Talis Soap Dispenser is attractive & would go with any modern/contemporary style kitchen. Don’t buy 5 cheapos like I did ... you get what you pay for. I now own 3 of these dispensers for my home and cottage.

Works great-just installed today. Heavy stainless steel of good quality, but NOT made in Germany as described! Made in CHINA like everything else, so I give 4 stars as it is misrepresented.

Nice replacement for an existing soap dispenser. Well machined and a high quality fit and finish. Which ever product you choose, be sure the soap container screws into the mechanism. Some are pushed into place and held with plastic detents. This approach is not as solid and the container is not as secure, easily to fall off creating a mess.

For starters, we returned this. It felt so sloppy and cheap compared to the Grohe brand versions of these we’ve used in the past, in our three kitchen/pantry sinks. Our old Grohe dispenser died on the sink we use the most, and we thought we’d try this cheaper Hansgrohe version to replace it, but hated it. It felt like it was going to break after a while of using it. Returned it and purchased a Grohe dispenser instead for a solid, well built piece of perfection that should last for years and years of use.

Six months ago I purchased a much cheaper one that looked great from the outside but the inside was cheap plastic that broke, creating waste. This one is solid all around, and the pipe where you screw the plastic connector on is made is Metal (that’s the part that broke off on my old one). Great suction power too as I use the MT tubing system direct to the Dawn bottle under the sink.
