It activates fine. However, when not used for a while, the nozzle initially spritzes and sputters and dispenses very little soap. A second try results in soap being dispensed without sputtering and in the set quantity. On the other hand, the nozzle NEVER drips (the soap is drawn back inside), which probably accounts for the first "partial shot". Overall a pleasingly looking soap dispenser, which does, what it is supposed to do AND DOES IT WELL.

This is NOT stainless steel but silver colored PLASTIC. It does not work well either, sometimes it takes several passes under the sensor to make a little soap come out. I used to have the one from Sharper Image and it was solid and always worked well. Wish I had brought it when I moved!

My wife is a germaphobic. We've had a sensor trash can in our kitchen for years and we love it. I got sick of him trying to pump the soap with his elbow, or worse, calling me from upstairs to come down and pump it for her. So I got this automatic soap dispensers. Once this arrived, I put in the clear liquid soft-soap. My wife came home from work and absolutely loved it. After a few days of using it, she asked me to buy more for each of our bathrooms. Today I purchased four more. It's a great product for any germaphobe, messy kids and normal people too!

We have used this unit for about 2 months now. We use it about 2-3 times a day. We did not even get a full battery cycle out of this unit. It just quit working. My problem is I purchased two of them and if they are from the same batch, this one may quit too. There was no warning, it just died.

Its working so far, I have been through 3 different dispensers so far. They do not seem to last very long. This is a nice looking dispenser works very well so far this is one of my fave out of the few I have owned.

Poor, poor performance. Initially the sensor would miss, had to put hands under sensor few times to trigger. Then sensor completely failed in 2 months.

Dispenses too much soap, even after trying to adjust it according to instructions, made no difference! So much soap comes out, you actually have a small pool in your hand!

I bought this dispenser to match my new kitchen, after I set it up with the thinnest soap possible, it worked great for 2 days. Soon after, it started to clog and not respond. It definitely needs more work. It looks good, ummm, the performance...no so much.

Product was everything it was advertised to be. It arived quickly and has been just what I wanted. it has two different settings for the amount of liquid dispensed. It is being used to dispense dish detergent and it has saved me money by helping me to not waste detergent.

I purchased this automatic dispenser in hopes of making it convenient for family to have immediate access to wash hands anytime during the day or nighttime. I ignored a previous warning that stated that the product lasted only two weeks, then stopped working.My dispenser lasted only four days.I was satisfied with the product, however, lasting only four days tells me that I should have taken heed of the previous warning. I have requested a replacement. The replacement has been promised. The Overstock company is great, I am leary of this product. Hopefully the replacement will work out fine.

Material is shiney and cheap looking. You must use very thin soap or it won't work. Takes at least 2 tries to get enought soap to wash hands. It doesn't drip and that's the main plus.
