I've spent far more on conventional soap pumps, only to have the pump mechanism stop working. This is by far the best dispenser I've ever owned. I have two in matte black (the one for the bathroom holds 15 oz, the other for the kitchen holds 8 oz). They have a rubberized feel, which I like very much, and the whole top moves down to pump the soap, making it much less likely to break. The dispensers work very well with my modern decor and work extremely well. I couldn't ask for better!
