Editor's Notes
August 14, 2019:
The Secura Touchless is a battery-powered model that automatically dispenses soap when you place your hand within 2-3/4 inches of its infrared sensor. In addition to being convenient, this also means you won't have to worry about contaminating it when you have raw chicken on your hands. It has a dial on the back that allows you to control how much soap comes out, or you can turn it off completely to avoid accidental dispensing.
The Industrial Rewind Countertop has a sleek and simple look, and it's made from thick glass with a sturdy metal pump. The tube and the inside of the pump are plastic in order to prevent rust, but the brass finish can tarnish, which produces a green residue, so you may need to clean the inside of the cap from time to time. It's a bit pricier than some similar options, but it's made from heavy-duty materials that are built to last. If you prefer a more decorative style, the Easy-Tang Refillable has a diamond-cut glass bottle that comes in green, blue, amber, and grey, and the bottom is textured to help keep it from sliding around. Its stainless steel pump has a brushed nickel finish, which won't show fingerprints like polished metal does.
The Wenko Quadro uses an innovative vacuum mounting system that is far more effective than traditional suction cups and doesn't require any drilling or adhesives. It's easy to remove or reposition, so it's great for rental properties where permanent mounting is not allowed.
Made from plastic with chrome accents, the Simplehuman Square won't shatter if you drop it, and the lever is designed to adjust the amount of soap it dispenses based on how far you press it down. It comes with a removable sponge caddy, but it doesn't have any drainage holes and needs to be cleaned often to prevent mold and mildew.
