Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When I first came across this machine 3 months ago, I thought to myself Wow this is a pretty neat concept, let me give it a shot. It was on sale at CVS Pharmacy for 6 dollars, so it was a pretty cheap buy. At first I was skeptical about it, because products similar to this usually costs 5 times more. So I got home and set it up. I will write in steps on how to set it up so just incase any of you are having trouble, you can easily follow these steps. Set-up Instructions: 1) Peel the sticker off on top of the soap bottle 2) Then gently enter the Soap bottle into the dispenser and put pressure on it until you hear a click noise. 3) Pull the red material out from the bottom of the dispenser, this will lead to batteries now powering the machine. 4) Now place the dispenser wherever you wish, and then slide the button in the back to the right to turn on the machine. 5) Keep putting your hand next to the sensor, because it is going to take 3-4 tries until the soap starts to come out. Now that it is activated, your good to go. Now on to the product review. I am going to be setting it up in 3 categories and give it a overall grade so you can decide if this product is for you. Functions - I've had this product for about 3 months now. It hasn't given me any problems. When you put your hand next to the sensor, it releases soap just the right amount. If you had to compare to how much soap is dispensed each time, I would say about the size of a quarter on your palms so it is not a lot. Overall this product does what it is advertised to do and I have not gotten any problems or malfunctions. Body (design & durability) - The design of the soap dispenser is pretty simple. It is made of plastic and is shaped so the lysol refills fits perfectly. It isn't very durable and the body is pretty cheaply made, but then again let's not forget this is a 7 dollar soap dispenser. My mom was cleaning the bathroom and dropped this on the floor by mistake, although it still works fine there is a huge crack on the side of the dispenser now. Let's take into consideration the fall was probably about 2 feet, so it wasn't a far drop at all. Overall, the design is pleasant to look at, but durability isn't that good. Soap - This dispenser has many different refills you can by that offers different scents. You might be wondering why does it matter? Well, these refills are actually very highly scented. When you use the soap to wash your hands, the aroma of the soap stays behind for couple of hours. The refills are very high quality and the smells are very pleasant. Some people complain that the refills are very expensive but hey, at the end of the day these refills only cost around 4 dollars at your local drugstores and lasts about 2 months. I cannot speak for others but to me spending 4 dollars on soap every two months is a very good deal. Overall, this product is a good buy and at your local CVS Pharmacy these can go as low as 6 dollars on sale. Keep in mind that now Lysol is selling the dispensers with free refills, so you can buy both for around 8 dollars at your local drugstores if not on sale. Honestly, being realistic for such a cheap price, these things perform great and if you don't abuse the sensor and use the product casually such as 4-5 times a day, these thing can last pretty long, and for the price I would say that it is a great deal. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: If you feel as if the refills are too expensive, you can always pop off the top of the soap bottle with a screwdiver (takes a little effort) and fill it with whatever soap you might use.
