simplehuman ST1023 237ml Automatic Hand Motion Liquid Soap Dispenser, Volume Control, Brushed Nickel

It's well packaged. Arrives pretty quickly. Great delivery. It comes with a complimentary packet of hand soap. It's well made. Strong and sturdy. The opening at the top for pouring in the soap is wide and easy to access, therefore making it very easy to refill the soap dispenser. The sensor is sensitive so as soon as it detects your hand soap is dispensed. The amount of soap to be dispensed can be set by pressing the plus or minus button on the top. Good performance, long battery life, splashes from hand washing doesn't affect its performance. I have never regretted buying these and never will, great product, well made and worth every penny. A definite recommendation.

I first bought it's larger brother simplehuman ST1015 Sensor Soap Pump with Free Liquid Soap Sample, Brushed Nickel Finish - however, that one proved to be too large for my sink/tap combo, so I moved it to the kitchen. And then by accident I noticed this smaller version - for some reason, it's still not available on Simplehuman UK website. Both models are excellent though - gorgeous looks, quite and efficient operation. No leaks or 'false' discharges. Both models allow you to choose the desired amount of soap to e be dispensed and to turn them off. Overall - excellent product, very impressed. UPDATE 06/12/2013 - 6 months into using 2 of these (and even longer - their 'larger' version): - No dripping, no mess around - Soap lasts longer - Quiet operation - Easy to turn off by holding down the (-) sign - The amount dispensed can be easily adjusted by pressing the (+)(-) signs - Relatively small foot print - Motivates our son to wash his hands better Just one 'con' - our son (getting 5 in a few months) would sometimes keep 'playing' with the thing if left unattended, so watch out for those little hands!

It does come across as slightly larger in the pictures than in real life but that said it’s a nicely put together stylish item that looks very good in our new bathroom. The initial setting is great for us, giving just the right amount of soap to wash your hands, the buttons work well and you can increase the dispensed amount very easily. The soap doesn’t drip after dispensing and the nozzle cuts off the flow very well. I accidentally put the batteries in the wrong way round and the filled it with soap, it’s very hard to change the batteries with it full of soap! Also it would be nice to have an off switch as you have to be very careful when moving the unit, which can cause it to dispense accidentally! All that being said I like the unit and family have said how much they love it too!

I really like this soap dispenser - mainly because it looks good and you don't have to touch it. It's very easy to operate - just hold your hand underneath the spout and out comes the soap. The amount of soap dispensed can be easily controlled by pressing a + or - symbol on the dispenser. The dispenser looks stylish in the kitchen or bathroom and I just like the no-touch operation. It's also good for kids - better than them pressing down a dispenser on a liquid soap bottle. It's easy to re-fill and a red warning light on the unit indicates when the batteries need to be replaced. I have bought several of these soap dispensers in the past. I find they last about a year or so, with regular use. For me, the main problem is that the manufacturer clearly states that they are designed to be used with simple human soap. They supply a sample of this with the dispenser. The soap has a lovely lavender smell and does the job; however it is REALLY EXPENSIVE! So I fill my dispenser up with my favourite liquid soap, which happens to be Baylis and Harding's Jasmine and Apple Blosson Antibacterial handwash - I mention this because it's white and looks good in the dispenser! And you can buy it for £1.50 a bottle on Amazon if you search around. - However, it is much thicker than the simple human soap and I'm sure this affects the use of the dispenser over time. But, if you work out the maths, I think it's probably cheaper to buy the cheap soap and replace the dispenser, rather than buying the super-expensive soap all of the time (although for all I know, the dispenser might not last with the expensive soap either!). Another slight drawback is that sometimes when cleaning or moving the dispenser, the sensor gets activated and a load of soap shoots out. It's easy enough to clean up, but it does sometimes catch me by surprise! However, all that being said, I like this dispenser. I've bought it in the past and I would certainly buy it again.

Battery operated but they last months, easy a year. We use the liquid Aveno body wash soap in these for hand washing and although it’s a thicker soap we’ve had no issues with it (so far 6-moths). Motion censoring works well. You need to put your hand up closer to the disowning area to activate so no constant accidentally triggering it, unlike some other brands. The see through soap holder is a nice feature so you know when it’s getting low. Easy and wide opening for refilling. It has an adjustable soap flow button so you can adjust it whether it dispenses small or larger amounts, which is good as some soaks don’t lather as much so you may want to adjust it for more. It also has an off feature which I use while cleaning the sink area and dispenser so I don’t accidentally trigger the soap. Handy, tidy, functional and well worth buying a quality name brand. We also bought the solid chrome one for the kitchen. Pleased with both purchases.

E' arrivato da pochi giorni e quindi l'utilizzo è limitato, ma per ora devo dire che sono molto soddisfatto. Mi sono fidato delle recensioni precedenti ed ho scartato prodotti più economici, ma meno validi o meno pratici (per esempio il serbatoio trasparente permette di valutare in anticipo quando ricaricare il sapone). Il sapone viene erogato in "dosi", vale a dire che l'erogazione non è continua tenendo la mano sotto (il che evita fastidiosi sgoccciolii di sapone), ma per averne di più bisogna togliere la mano e rimetterla sotto La dose è regolabile con i tasti "+" e "-" e contemporaneamente alla pressione dei tasti di regolazione si può testare lo stato delle batteria: si accende un led verde, sulla punta dell'erogatore, per indicare che le batterie sono cariche, altrimenti si accende il led rosso. L'ho provato capovolto e non ho notato perdite di sapone, poiché il tappo è a pressione; non l'ho tenuto capovolto molto tempo, ma nell'immediato non ho verificato perdite. Unica piccola pecca (del resto non risolvibile se non con un interruttore) è che per spostarlo o per rifornirlo di sapone, lo si deve impugnare in modo tale da non passare la mano sotto il sensore altrimenti... farà il suo lavoro e depositerà il sapone sulla mano :-) Per adesso devo dire che il prodotto è ottimo e mi riservo eventualmente di correggere se in futuro le cose cambiassero. **EDIT** RETTIFICO quanto scritto in precedenza: il dispenser si può spegnere tenendo premuti entrambi i tasti "+" e "-" fino a che non si accende il led rosso; da quel momento è disattivato. Per riaccenderlo basta ripetere l'operazione, cioè tenere premuto i due tasti. Per la sensibilità invece devo dire che eroga il sapone solo ponendo la mano a 4/5 centimetri dal beccuccio, per cui, impugnandolo alla base, non si ha alcuna erogazione. Spero che sia duraturo e non si guasti troppo presto perché, per adesso, mi pare semplicemente perfetto. ** Aggiornamento 16/02/2017 ** Ho letto adesso una domanda sulla densità del sapone da utilizzare, per cui racconto la mia esperienza. Difficile stabilire il limite di densità utilizzabile e difficile spiegarlo in questa sede. Diciamo che se il sapone è troppo denso non viene erogato o in quantità minima. Infatti mi è capitato di acquistare un sapone cremoso da dover premere sul flacone ed il dosatore non ce la faceva. Dopo aver svuotato il serbatoio ed aver insistito un po' con le wergazioni (quasi goccia a goccia) sono riuscito a ripristinare la funzionalità. Per il sapone incriminato non l'ho buttato, ma l'ho semplicemente diluito leggermente nella sua confezione aggiungendo un po' d'acqua e portandolo ad una densità buona per il dosatore

Wir nutzen den Simplehuman ST1018 237 ml Sensorspender inzwischen sowohl in der Küche, Bad als auch in der Toilette – und sind absolut begeistert! Die automatische Seifenabgabe funktioniert zuverlässig und hygienisch, der Sensor reagiert prompt, ohne dass man herumfuchteln muss. Das Design in Weiß ist schlicht, modern und passt perfekt in jede Umgebung. Die Verarbeitung ist hochwertig, der Spender steht stabil und lässt sich leicht nachfüllen. Besonders praktisch: Kein lästiges Tropfen oder Kleckern, alles bleibt sauber und ordentlich. Für uns ein echtes Upgrade gegenüber herkömmlichen Seifenspendern – klare Kaufempfehlung!

We had the older model of this exact same product, which finally, after perhaps 10 years, stopped pumping, even with fresh batteries. The light would flash, etc., but the motor did not operate. Not a bad run, really. We liked the design and performance of the old one, with some caveats that also apply to the new one, which I'll cover below. Just put into service, the new soap pump is working as expected, so no complaints there. I'll get back to you if it fails before 10 years. Differences in the new one: While shaped similarly and styled essentially identically, it is considerably shorter, so may not hold as much soap (though it is close, if not equal). The old one stood regally behind the sink, perhaps even imposingly. The new one squats submissively. The photo on the Amazon listing kind of looked shorter, so that was not a TOTAL surprise. It's still tall enough, and some might find its less imposing and magnificent height less of a distraction, sink-side. The new one has a QR code under the soap lid to reorder soap; the old one was from the stone age where you had to find and order your own soap. The new one has a small printed branding label near the bottom front, not TOO noticeable, while the old one either didn't, or spilled soap over the years had dissolved it off. I like no label. Like the old one, the battery insertion icons on the bottom are VERY confusing. Do you put them in as shown on the embossed image next to the battery lid, or do the batteries look that way once inserted (which gives opposite polarity results)? The instruction manual had a tiny photo which, once examined closely, made it clear (it was opposite my guess looking at the bottom label). I got battery polarity wrong a time or two with the old one, and it didn't damage the unit, it just didn't work. Generally, when replacing batteries, I made careful note of how the old ones were inserted, as it was working that way, rather than lifting it high and peering at the bottom where the battery lid and label are located. (And yes, the batteries tend to run out JUST AFTER you've refilled it with soap, so not only are you not able to turn it over to insert them, but you've got to be careful about tipping it too much.) Battery replacement inconvenience is a minor quibble with both the old and new models. Put the battery port on the bottom, out of sight, and its inconvenient. I'm fine with it how it is - there are trade-offs in life. (OK, MAYBE you can turn it over with soap in it, see below.) Now for my complaint, which is not really a product review, but an Amazon (and Amazon customer) review: It was missing a critical part, right out of the box. I noticed, as I opened the box, which appeared new and undamaged, that the pump was not securely packed in the box. Later careful examination revealed that the bottom box insert was on top of the pump, and that the top packing insert was missing. Clue: this is an unused, but returned unit. Everything else was there, including the instruction book and sample packet of soap. Second BIG clue: Turning it over to insert the batteries (no soap in it yet, so this rare event is still safe, though the top soap lid does have a seal, so IN PRINICIPLE you could turn it over when filled with soap) - NO BATTERY CAP!!!! The cap was not in the box, in the packaging, etc. and it had NOT fallen out a few seconds earlier when I opened the box. This cap fits securely, so it didn't just fall out of its working location. Maybe they left it out in manufacture? Nope. Another clue that this was a returned unit. Time to set up a return with Amazon? Not yet. We have the old one, now headed for the trash. Maybe the battery door (which has a rubber O-ring seal) is the same? Amazingly, it is. (The soap door, on the top, is NOT the same, so if that had been missing we were SOOL.) This happens with Amazon fairly often: someone returns an item, often a perfectly good item, but first, thoughtfully throws away an important small part, accessory, or instructions, etc.. Amazon warehouse, seeing a superficially OK-looking package with SOMETHING like the product in it, just restocks it and ships it out as new to another buyer (rather than inspecting it and selling it discounted as a return, which they sometimes do, if the packaging is damaged or missing.) I'm 100% sure that Amazon would have replaced this soap dispenser if we'd have complained, but they still should avoid this random restocking of returned items. Pretty much every time I've gotten an item that had signs of having been returned, there has been a problem, sometimes one I could solve (like this) and sometimes requiring a return/replace. I've had it happen more than once on the same product, for frequently returned items. Also, Amazon needs to get a better class of customer, who are more careful when returning items. As we've seen with other retailers over the years, after enough abuse of their return policy, it eventually becomes more restrictive. So work with me here people: only return items when you really need to, not on an inspect/try and return basis, and return everything, so it can be inspected and resold. So: good soap dispenser, but dodgy Amazon returned product handling. Amazon will take care of that last problem if it happens to bite you, so buy the dispenser. It is the best looking of those I've seen, and works fine.

Je n'ai cet appareil que depuis quelques jours. Mais ça fait plaisir de voir un produit vraiment bien étudié. Pour l'instant, je ne lui trouve aucun défaut. - il est beau - le capteur fonctionne très bien (heureusement !) - le réservoir transparent laisse voir la quantité de liquide qu'il reste - la dose de produit distribuée est réglable - le système anti-goute est efficace - le bouchon du réservoir de savon est visiblement étanche (pratique pour changer les piles qui se trouvent sous l'appareil) - le bouchon des piles est visiblement également étanche (évite que les piles ne trempent dans l'eau si l'appareil tombe dans le lavabo par ex). Je n'ai cependant pas testé le degré d'étanchéité (il vaut mieux faire attention). - la distribution du produit est très rapide - l'utilisation/réglage est très simple, seulement deux touches (+ et -) : - appui court sur + ou - règle la quantité de savon distribuée - appui long sur la touche - éteint l'appareil - appui long sur la touche + distribue du savon jusqu'à ce qu'on relâche la touche - le réservoir est facile à remplir - la documentation en français m'a semblé assez claire Bref, pour moi, c'est le distributeur idéal. Le prix est un peu élevé. Mais au moins, je ne suis pas déçu ! S'il m'en fallait un autre, je prendrais sans hésiter le même modèle.
