Why do you have an electrical soap dispenser?

formerPhillyguy t1_jec2vf1 wrote

Don't you realize how much work is involved in getting soap out of a non-electrical dispenser? And the time it takes to reach for it and push the thingy down to get the soap to come out? It's exhausting.

Sometimes I hover my hand under the soap nozzle and just have to heave an enormous sigh and give up.

Went to a bathroom at a friend's house and they had one of these. Battery went out. Imagine not being able to wash your hands because of a battery. Absolutely stupid. It's going the extra mile to fuck the planet.

it's playing with fire without agreeing and acknowledging the fact that our kids will need to deal with disaster not comparable to any we have ever seen - that's why education should be any governemnt's priority to let us survive as human race for longer, before the real chaos comes

I’d want one specifically when I’m cooking with raw meat and want to wash my hands without getting the bottle/pump “meaty”

merdub t1_jecyx5x wrote

Yeah this is why I also like the faucets with the wave/tap feature, I can just touch it with my forearm and not get everything full of raw chicken juice.

But like, you wash the hands AFTER touching the soap dispenser so who cares if its dirty?

Klepto666 t1_jed0d0g wrote

I consider it unnecessary, BUT have you ever seen a touch soap dispenser actually used for awhile? It gets NASTY. It's not even easy to wash off, and sometimes it's in crevices that you can't really wash if you wanted to keep it for longer.

Good point, it would make more sense to have a touch-free dryer instead if you're that concerned about shared contact.

Who has a hand dryer in their house?

Otto_Maller t1_jec7bd1 wrote

We do but ours in a manual version. We call it a hand towel.

KalessinDB t1_jeepiqv wrote

I have a walkout basement with a bar, including a bathroom with a keg urinal (all of this was installed by the previous owner). I've looked up the cost to get a hand dryer just to complete the look...

It was waaaay too much for me, but I could see some truly germ-phobic people doing it.

DenverM80 t1_jeg4owf wrote

Keg... Urinal?

1

KalessinDB t1_jega6nj wrote

Yes! They wall mounted a keg, cut away maybe 1/4-1/3 of it, and put a drain at the bottom! There's a tap handle on the top to flush with! I love it so much.

DenverM80 t1_jegc48v wrote

That's actually pretty cool, I thought maybe it was a typo

Hah no sir, though I can definitely understand the confusion :)

The now-dirty soap dispenser.

You can turn on most facets with your elbows, but pumping soap with dirty hands while trying not to get the soap dispenser wet is more of a challenge. Best used in kitchens where you are more likely to have gunk on your hands.

PochinkiPrincess t1_jed2hkj wrote

OP you’re getting roasted but I got one too (on a great sale at Costco) and it’s so handy for the kitchen like when you go to wash your hands after prepping raw chicken. Also I audibly gasped when it said “should last a year or more” I would be pissed if mine didn’t last way way longer (with proper use)

2020-RedditUser t1_jecl1hg wrote

This could useful for kids to wash their hands more independently by helping them limit how much soap they use

ididnotknowwhy t1_jed1i79 wrote

A serious answer could be someone with a disability may be unable to manually pump soap. Or people would prefer a hands free dispenser for hygiene purposes.

Or they do it for fun/convenience. Who knows?

nMe-CA t1_jecim9c wrote

Because they want to do the robot trying to get it out

lemonpepsiking t1_jecrz9w wrote

I got one for the kitchen so when I'm working with raw meat I don't have to touch the soap handle. I know technically I should always be then scrubbing my hands afterwards but it sure does feel nice.

Ani-A t1_jecun2z wrote

Press the plunger with your forearm...

lemonpepsiking t1_jecw4eu wrote

That would have worked. Maybe occasionally have knocked over the dispenser since we usually had the thin ones. I like the motion activated one though.

EternalPinkMist t1_jed73hx wrote

Reduces touched surfaces because most people don't actually wash their hands they just put soap on them and then wash it off

InsomniaticWanderer t1_jec2ftc wrote

Does the soap dispenser have zero housing and exposed electronics?

Sounds like a shitty product to me, not a delicate one.

I've for sure seen this somewhere on Reddit before, crazy they're still selling them.

Yeah, crazy too how the picture was taken exactly the same way.

smallest_table t1_jeceyjz wrote

Someone decided it was cheaper to print that and include it with the dispenser than it would be to to fit a water tight gasket. The thing is, I'd bet you'd pay $1 more for a watertight one.

IOW cheap Chines junk.

There is some truth in the saying "You get what you pay for" - almost always applies to the cheap end.

luctian t1_jebxldt wrote

This is some American/Canadian who wants to buy cheap Chinese stuff and market it as a luxury brand and earn a profit without having to do actual work. Buddy probably just graduated from their youtube guru Amazon's course not too long ago.

Do yo honestly think if it was made anywhere else it would be better? Make it in Switzerland with fine machined parts and it would be 20x the price but likely still not waterproof.

OK, I don't know what you paid for this thing, but you have to run it through the dishwasher and then file a warrantee claim and see what happens. Keep us posted.
