OXO Good Grips Soap Dispenser - Charcoal

I now have 3 of these. I ordered one, and liked it, so ordered another two. Two are for liquid gentle skin cleanser, one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen. The 3rd is being used for moisturizing lotion for after shower, or anytime it's needed. If they keep working that will be great. One reviewer mentioned they stopped working, but so far so good.It's about functionality, without any extraneous design features, and good size capacity, and is made out of plastic so it's not breakable. I would never want a glass dispenser sitting in my bathroom or kitchen. This, for me, is much better than dealing with the dispensers that the lotions come in, because in my experience they DO stop working. And, it's difficult to get the last portion out of those dispensers.

What's not to love?! OXO makes quality products that are simple yet stylish and practical. Very versatile! It can be used for hand soap, dish soap, and hand lotions that aren't too thick. I've bought and tried other brands of dispensers that eventually failed, but this one by far performs the best. I specifically bought it as a dish soap dispenser for liquid DAWN because it's faster to dispense the soap than pouring it on the sponge. Works perfectly! Aside from the metal coil inside the pump, there are no other metal parts that will rust and turn green. It's a good size with a balanced design; not too high and not too wide. The broader flat-top pump easily dispenses liquid dish soap with just one press, and without the bottle tipping over. Best of all, it matches quite beautifully with the silicone Charcoal/gray Sponge Holder Tray - Kitchen Sink Organizer that I also bought here on Amazon. I am very satisfied with this product!

Sadly, my old stainless steal OXO soap dispenser died. The plastic pump on top broke and I had to find a replacement. Sadly, I couldn't find an exact copy and I wsnt spending 30 to 40 bucks for a newer model. I only use while pump for dish soap, so I'd don't need to be fancy.I do however, like the OXO brand. I saw this, and for the price, gave it a try.It's smaller than what I'm used to but I LOVE that it has a clear base so you can see how much soap you have left.It's a twist top, so refilling the dispenser is a breeze. I was worried that the dispenser would topple over, but due to the weight of the soap, it stands firm.This is a perfect replacement for my needs. Highly recommend this product and the OXO Brand.

As described this is a very simple soap dispenser design. For that simplicity, it is pretty sturdy for what it is.Knowing that it is simple you will have modest maintenance on it if you want it to perform optimally. First, soap will accumulate at the spout and probably sooner than later. You will have to wipe soap accumulation at least occasionally or it may get backed-up effecting the amount of soap dispensed. If it's actually leaking between pumps then there may be an accumulation or mechanical issue with the pump - OR - you could simply be moving away from the dispenser before the pump-action has completed (some in my house do this).It's necessary to remove and thoroughly rinse the spout and stem under warm water periodically. I do it every time I re-fill it but it may sometimes be necessary to do it more often if too much soap accumulates on these parts affecting performance.With simple maintenance, it has worked as expected for me.This is all I've had to do with it and it's worked perfectly since I've had it.UPDATE 05/17/18: My daughter dropped it while it was full of liquid dish soap and the lid cracked. This was not the fault of the dispenser obviously and it's not big deal since it was so cheap. We bought another.

If you're like me and buy the giant bottles of dishsoap at Costco, you might need something smaller and more attractive to refill. We used to have a pump built in to our counter, but we have since moved and I needed a bottle that could withstand a lot of use and not be too fussy to refill. Years ago I used an oil cruet kind of bottle, but it broke and now I have kids who wash dishes, so I wanted something plastic. I looked at Target and similar items were at least $5 dollars more, so while I feel that the price here is not great, it is still less expensive (for a great brand I trust and use happily throughout my home). I have only used it for about a month so far, but I wash dishes a lot (we have a big family and are home all day, so lots of plates and glasses, etc.) I like that the when refilling the bottle, the opening is nice and wide making it less likely to spill or drip dish soap all over. I would recommend this as a functional and still fairly attractive countertop dish soap dispenser.
