motion-activated soap dispenser???

15 years ago

Didn't want to hijack Ginny's soap dispenser thread.

Does anyone have a motion-activated dispenser? I'm pretty good about using the pump on my regular dispenser with my fist or back of my hand when my hands are covered with meat/chicken juice, but imagine it might be a lot easier with one of those motion-activated dispensers.

Here is a link that might be useful: Simplehuman automatic soap dispenser

    I've got it and I really like it so far (about a month or two). It doesn't work well with hand soap, by the way -- that's too thick and clogs it up. I use mild dish detergent in it for both my hands and the dishes, and that works fine. I like to squirt my dish detergent straight into the water (not on the dishcloth), and there is a button for that so you don't have to wave something under it every time you want soap. It is VERY nice not to have to work a pump with chickeny or doughy hands.

    That's disappointing ... main reason I was interested. Did you try with more than one brand?

    I've had this dispenser for 4-5 months and it's working fine with hand soap. Don't use a soap that has small beads in it that will clog it up, or a very thick one. I think I have something from BBB in there now, works fine.

    Oh my, I thought this was a joke! I have images of the burglar running by and getting squirted.

    No, I didn't try many brands of hand soap, and the ones I did try worked fine when I diluted them a bit with water -- I should have made that clear, sorry. For me it's easier to use one soap for everything (now that I've tried it), so it's not a problem for me. Just something to be aware of if somebody fills it with thick hand soap and then nothing happens when you wave your hand underneath. I thought for a few minutes that ours was broken.

    Thanks to both of you! I may treat myself to one when the current bottle is empty.

    I can see my cat soaped up every day.

    I love the idea of a motion-activated soap dispenser!! I'm just waiting until they come out with one that works with foam soap, because that is what we use throughout the house. Has anyone heard of one that would work with foam soap??
