I was also convinced by the reviewer that compared it with a competing product that looked exactly the same except the spout was different. I chose it because I liked the cylindrical window design to see the amount of soap and thought it would be a small enough unit that would fit in my limited bathroom sink area. Sorry for starting out with a competing product, but I wanted to explain how I wound up with Secura instead.Īfter some research, I decided on Secura. It has been in use for about a year without any issues.Įver since I fixed* it I have always wanted one for myself but felt the footprint design was too big for my bathroom sink. I revived a Simplehuman automatic soap dispenser for a family member used at her business. Oh, and I sometimes tease my forgetful teen kids when they repeatedly can’t get it to work, and presto, voila’, it works just fine for me (after I refill it more than half). (I don’t mix the soaps, try it to see why!) Clean, sanitary, convenient except for that one filling-too-often detail. One’s for Dawn at the veggie sink, the other’s for Palmolive at the main sink. Ok, some folk won’t be bothered by this, and while too regularly filling it bugs me, I really like the two in my kitchen. Or adjust the dispensed volume to squirt out a huge wasteful amount of soap. Keeping the tank filled 1/2 to 2/3 full minimizes the problem. This is happening because the soap drains internally back down to the level of the tank fill, then has to be pumped back up to the spout. So either you have to keep adjusting the volume wheel, or top the tank up (which I do to avoid fooling around with the wheel). By the time the tank is nearing half full, you gotta activate it a couple three times to get enough soap to dispense. But as the soap level drops from use, the amount of soap dispensed also drops. Runs for at least a year on lithium batteries (4 AAs), and is really convenient to use. I can not imagine not having this soap dispenser by my kitchen sink! If this one stops working in 3 years, I’ll be back to repurchase another one. Lastly, this is a larger unit than most, but not so large that it’s obnoxious, and holds a large amount of soap so that refilling is less frequent than with much smaller units. Refilling is easy with the hole right on top and large enough to not make a big mess. On the Secura, the batteries store on the back of unit, making it very easy to change w/o flipping over and making a huge mess. That’s what happened to other brands I’ve tried in the past. I love that batteries are not stored in base, which leads to corrosion if the base gets wet. A no-touch dispenser is a MUST in my kitchen as I am constantly washing my hands all day, and while I’m preparing meals. I hope this one lasts as long as my last Secura! I use dish detergent in mine at the kitchen sink. The first one lasted 3 years, which is the longest any automatic soap dispenser has ever lasted for us. This is my second Secura Automatic Liquid Soap dispenser.
