The dispenser is larger (more substantial) than it appeared in the photos, and very sturdy.  The spout extends well over the edge of the sink, so there's plenty of room to hold a sponge or dishcloth beneath it.  The rounded top fits very comfortably in the palm of the hand but requires quite a bit more pressure than the older pump I had (also a Delta). However, it releases a good dollop of liquid soap with a single push, so there's no need to pump more than a few times while dishwashing.  It seems solidly built and is functioning reliably, so I expect it will last many years.
