Have only been using a month but wash hands several times per day, and it holds so much soap that I haven’t had to refill yet. Attractive design, I don’t use the caddy because it’s in a bathroom but it would be very efficient for a sponge or pad in a kitchen. Will be interesting to see how quickly it uses up batteries, too soon to assess that. Overall, for a plastic dispenser it is very nice, with a sleek, modern look.
