Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I could have given this a 5 star review, but for one good reason I can not. The pump handle is designed to fail after the warranty period, and when it fails sooner, they happily replace it. So this is a troubling review to write, as some will not believe what I will explain. Look at the chromed handle of the pump, where is has a pin that it pivots on. The pin is made of stainless steel, and had the pin been longer, and had a head on the outside of the handle, that alone would extend the life of the handle for a very long time, but not forever. The handle, while being chrome plated, is not made of any metal that can withstand the harshness of many soaps. Over time, the small area where the pin catches on the metal handle, gradually corrodes, more accurately the metal oxidizes. A simple way to explain what this means, is that the metal turns to dust a little at a time. Eventually, the pin can't hold and the handle pops up, making it impossible to pump soap. How sure am I of this, I am very sure, I have had that handl replaced more than once, and I have bought more than one of these pumps. Isn't this crazy, the best soap pump you can buy is designed to fail after a certain amount of time passes. That time varies according to the kind of soap you pump, very mild soaps wil last a little longer, but if you use Dawn, that time is shortened a lot. That is why mine failed withitn the weqarranty period, I use Dawn in my pump. I just spent a little time using a metal punch to push the pun out, and I replaced it with a stainless steel screw with a stainless Nyloc nut on the other side. The screw was the perfect size, and that pump will last much longer than the original design would have allowed. This is very typical of corporate America, they make products that are designed to eventually fail. How else can they keep money flowing into the company to pay the bills?
