The product is as elegant as it appears from photographs.  It is easy to fill and to operate.  The quantity of liquid soap it delivers for each press of the plunger is just average, and barely enough to wash your hands.  So, if you're counting pennies, don't buy the product (even though it would stretch your liquid soap supply as far as possible) because it's pricey, and if you're not, consider avoiding the product because it does not deliver a generous supply of liquid soap (but it does look pretty!).
