Okay, let me start by saying I had HIGH expectations for these automatic soap dispensers. The idea of touchless operation in both my kitchen and bathroom sounded like a dream come true - especially during flu season!

The good stuff first: The setup was stupid easy (though one box was missing the wall sticker - minor annoyance). They look SO sleek with that gold finish, and the temperature display is a fun bonus. I love that they work with different soaps - my lavender hand soap foams up beautifully.

But here's the tea... The battery life is straight up questionable. Mine charges to like 94% max and drains faster than my phone battery. Some days it works perfectly, other days it acts possessed - dispensing soap randomly or not at all. My husband thinks it's haunted.

Pro tip: You MUST dilute your soap! I learned this the hard way after nearly returning them. Once I got the ratio right (about 1:5 soap to water), they worked much better.

Final verdict? They're cute and functional WHEN they work, but the inconsistency drives me nuts. Maybe worth trying if you find them on sale, but don't expect perfection.
