After purchasing several of these dispensers, I've discovered this dispenser works great, but ONLY for about 4 months. After that, it croaks. No manner of hand gyrations near the sensor will cause motion detection to dispense soap. The sensor falls brain dead.
You can place a countdown timer on this dispenser to set your clock by when it will FAIL.
This is a great dispenser if you want to purchase a new one every 4 months, but not me. I expected maybe 4 years of service from this dispenser, NOT 4 months.
Of course, after 4 months the return window has closed, so the trash container is your only option.
I have been purchasing other brands as replacements. It's too soon to know if the replacement brand I've been buying has a longer life, but I am VERY disappointed at the very short life of THIS brand.
I would NOT purchase this brand of soap dispenser again. NO WAY!!

Poorly designed and poorly constructed
After tossing a cheaper version and getting this somewhat more expensive unit to replace it, I'm sorely disappointed. I generally like the way this thing works... when it works. It died the first time I replaced the batteries; just after the return period, of course.The problem I observed was that the button/indicator continued to work normally, but the dispenser was never triggered, making no noise indicating that the pump was not powered.I was able to fix it, though I had to break it a little to get it apart. The design and construction flaws are numerous:1. The wiring harnesses on the main circuit board do not use positive locking, and may come loose. Simply seating these firmly fully resolved the problem I was seeing.2. The batteries should go in the opposite end from the water/soap. The proximity and poor isolation mean that the batteries will inevitably become corroded.3. All four internal battery contacts use springs instead of the more standard arrangement of alternating with flat contacts (as on the battery cover). This means that if your batteries have insulation around the "button" on the anode (pictured), the spring may fall completely on the insulation and no power will be delivered. Simply replacing the batteries may fix this, or the contact may be intermittent, leading to unreliable operation. This can be fixed by using different batteries, cutting away the insulation, or wrapping a little aluminum foil around the positive end of the battery.4. The battery compartment apparently has poor tolerances, leading to one of the batteries becoming stuck down in my case.I'm happy to not have to buy a replacement at the moment but, when the time comes, I certainly won't be purchasing another of the same type.

The dispenser is in a heavy use area by the kitchen sink. I liked the way it worked and did not want to return item to amazon. I used pliers to remove the broken piece from the top, super glued it to the base. and it started working fine, so I saved my self from the hassle of returning the item and waiting for the replacement to arrive. I was also happy that I sent one less piece of plastic to the landfill.
After few more refills, the super glue gave away. This time I use a stronger glue, quick grip - all purpose contact cement. It lasted me a few more weeks.
When it broke again, I tried hot glue. Because the hot glue is thicker, the top does not close too well and is not airtight. So the soap is dispensed with gaps in between.
I contacted the seller and explained the above. Their reply:
" Dear customer
I'm very sorry
The damage to the base was caused by man. There is no way to replace it.
Recently we have a special promotion, you can follow us "
If it breaks when I close it too tight, then it is understandable. Maybe I ate too much protein or spinach that day. But if it breaks when I am opening it, the plastic is either too thin or is brittle due to a manufacturing defect.
Why am I documenting my experiments here? well, don't make the mistake I made. If it breaks, return it. Or try a different glue than the ones I tried :-)
Summary: When it works, the dispenser is nice, dispenses soap very well - but all of that is useless without a good sturdy base container.
Good dispenser, but inferior quality plastic base

The base broke easily. refer to pictures. The plastic may have a manufacturing defect and it broke when I opened it for the very first soap refill, which is just a couple weeks after first use.Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020
