I bought two of these after having tried 2 similar items over the past year, neither of which lasted. Having been very happy after several years of owning simplehuman trash barrels and mirrors, I decided to just try the touchless soap pumps. I bought these because I didn't want to have to recharge the pumps, because I wanted to be able to see how much soap was left, and because I wanted white. They work great in the bathroom with hand soap and also in the kitchen with dish soap. And I am pretty sure these won't need to be replaced in 6 months like all the other similar brand I bought.
