A dispenser for sheet products, comprising: a housing having a space inside for accommodating a stack of sheet products, wherein the housing includes a dispensing opening for dispensing a sheet product from the front of the stack; an electronic controller, the controller being configured to receive a pull-out signal indicating the removal of a product from the front of the stack through the dispensing opening and, upon receiving said pull-out signal, to send out a drive signal to transfer a number of one or more sheet products from the front of the stack into a presentation position in which at least a first portion of the respective product has been advanced through the dispensing opening; and a transfer device for transferring the one or more products from the front of the stack into the presentation position by advancing at least a first portion of the respective product through the dispensing opening, wherein the controller is further configured to receive a low-level signal indicating that the amount of sheet products left within the housing has been reduced to below a predetermined level and, upon receiving said low-level signal, to enter into a low-level mode in which the sending of the drive signal in response to the pull-out signal is disabled, wherein the dispenser comprises a low-level detector for providing the low-level signal to the controller, and the dispenser further comprises a backing element biasing the stack of sheet products towards the dispensing opening, the backing element moving towards the dispensing opening upon depletion of the sheet products from the stack; wherein the low-level detector is configured to detect displacement of the backing element into a predetermined position which is associated with the predetermined level of remaining sheet products. a housing having a space inside for accommodating a stack of sheet products, wherein the housing includes a dispensing opening for dispensing a sheet product from the front of the stack; an electronic controller, the controller being configured to receive a pull-out signal indicating the removal of a product from the front of the stack through the dispensing opening and, upon receiving said pull-out signal, to send out a drive signal to transfer a number of one or more sheet products from the front of the stack into a presentation position in which at least a first portion of the respective product has been advanced through the dispensing opening; and a transfer device for transferring the one or more products from the front of the stack into the presentation position by advancing at least a first portion of the respective product through the dispensing opening, wherein the controller is further configured to receive a low-level signal indicating that the amount of sheet products left within the housing has been reduced to below a predetermined level and, upon receiving said low-level signal, to enter into a low-level mode in which the sending of the drive signal in response to the pull-out signal is disabled, wherein the dispenser comprises a low-level detector for providing the low-level signal to the controller, and the dispenser further comprises a backing element biasing the stack of sheet products towards the dispensing opening, the backing element moving towards the dispensing opening upon depletion of the sheet products from the stack; wherein the low-level detector is configured to detect displacement of the backing element into a predetermined position which is associated with the predetermined level of remaining sheet products.
