As soon as my daughters opened their dispenser during Christmas, I finally displayed mine in the kitchen, where it's just as pretty to the eye as it would be in the bath. Very easy to insert the batteries, easy to fill (some complimentary soap comes with it) and dispenses faster than I imagined. The girls are very happy with theirs; as one displayed hers in the guest bath with a light weight lavender soap, the other her kitchen. Fairly priced and makes a wonderful gift any time of the year.
