EVA Automatic Soap Dispenser


WHAT IS INCLUDED?
Soap dispenser, platform/feet to rest the dispenser, and an operating manual (4 AAA batteries not included)

PROS:
+ Adjustable amount of soap dispensed (3 settings)
+ Brush stainless steel (goes with any number of kitchens or bathrooms)
+ The base, or legs, keep the soap dipenser from growing mold on the bottom like plastic soap bottles tend to do
+ Works with a variety of soap brands
+ Easy to read instruction manual
+ Quality sensor recognizes movement well when you hand is within range
+ Sensor doesn't reach out past the edge, or location that the soap is dispensed (this means fewer unintended soap dispenses)

CONS:
- Users can't see the level of soap in the dispenser without unscrewing the reservoir
- Sensor light (red) lights up, or blinks, on a somewhat regular basis (wastes battery?)
- Base/Legs are made of plastic so they are could break

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
o Reservoir is approximately 8.5 oz - this is practical for most home applications but some users may or may not want a larger reservoir
o I haven't been able to test how long the 4 AAA batteries last at the time of this review

WHO WOULD THIS SOAP DISPENSER WORK FOR?
This automatic soap dispenser is a great option for most any household. It would look great in the guest bathroom, the master bathroom or even the kids bathroom. The amount of soap dispensed is adjustable to suit many users needs. It could be a good fit for a mudroom or potentially a kitchen (read on for kitchen considerations).

WHO MIGHT BE UNHAPPY WITH THIS SOAP DISPENSER?
This is too small for most commercial uses. The reservoir is only 8.5 oz. It would require too many refills. Also, most commercial applications probably wouldn't want to change batteries. Also, this may or may not work for someone wanting to use this in the kitchen. If you want the soap dispenser right near the sink (as opposed to back off the sink a bit), you might get some unwanted soap dispensing when washing dishes or something along those lines. Each user has their own possible uses, so that's something only you can answer.

CONCLUSION:
Overall, this soap dispenser hits on a number of points that I am looking for in a soap dispenser. The sensor is good quality. I think this product will meet the needs of many homes! I hope my review was thorough and helpful in your decision!
