simplehuman Sensor Soap Dispensers

Here’s the link: www.simplehuman.com/pages/soa...
Check out this video on the simplehuman foaming soap pump and traditional liquid soap pump. These pumps are incredible. The battery lasts for months, they don’t drip and they work exactly as designed. In my video I will show you an up close look at each, how to fill them, how to charge them and some features that I like and some features that I’m not necessarily crazy about. Also in this video I will show you one of their trash cans and their dog food container. Keep watching till the end there’s a sneak peek of a future video!!

[@RubyRubyheart]

Thanks for showing us how to refill the foam dispenser. I was under the impression you had to keep buying soap cartridges which I thought was so wasteful and pretty insane! I'm glad I can refill it with whatever soap I like. I appreciate the help!

[@bobbygfl]

That’s great! Thanks for the comment. The cucumber soap is addicting it smells so good!!

It’s a sticker just so that when you are first using it you know where to place your hand depending on the amount of soap you want. But I’m sure they mean for you to peel it off after bc it provides a much cleaner look without those water drop markings

That never occurred to me. Someone else mentioned this also. Thank you. So much better without it.

[@anhtuannguyen6148]

Hi! Thanks for the review, helps a lot! How long would you say these last? Are they prone to breaking after the 2 year manufacturer warranty?

[@bobbygfl]

I have several that over 2 years and work perfectly.

[@nicholas790]

I have 5 in my home. Love the look and function when they work but they are not bug free. Simple Human was good for one replacement each when they quit but if the replacement goes south you’re out of luck and at $70 a pop, they’re not cheap! So conclusion, they look great, but be prepared for issues. Also, the soap price has gone up by $2 a bag and Bed Bath & Beyond no longer carries it, so it’s either Simple Human with its slow shipping or Amazon. About the foam models, the soap does last a long time but they have had issues with it not foaming properly. I called Simple Human about the issue (weak foam) and they did send me replacement bottles that do make much better foam. So if you’re getting droopy weak foam, give them a call. Batteries are also an issue with these. Sometimes the charge will last a month other times a week. Even the one in my guest bathroom that seldom gets use will have a dead battery prematurely. They do have a number but you’ll have to google it, it’s not on their website. They run hot and cold with me, the products look great and (mostly) work well, but sometimes support is great other times, you’re on your own.

[@bobbygfl]

I swap them out via Amazon whenever they fail. It’s very passive aggressive, but satisfying

[@davem475]

NO ONE on the planet LOVES "gadgets" more than I do and I WILL be getting these VERY VERY SOON...I HAVE S/H electric trash cans in both homes and love them !!

[@user-gm7nd8lx5p]

Hi mate, thanks for your review. It's very informative. I bought a foam dispenser yesterday and now I am wondering how long it takes to charge it fully and how I can know if it's charged fully🤔 Could you please tell me if you know?🙏

[@bobbygfl]

I believe the light blink while it’s charging and it’s solid blue when it is fully charged it’s red when it is depleted. I’m not sure how long it takes to charge because I usually leave the charger on overnight. Thanks for coming. I hope this helps.

[@catw6998]

Couple questions. Said you’ve been using Dawn in one of your refillable Simple Human soap dispensers. How’s that doing? Any issues getting super chapped hands ‘cuz I assume you wash both dishes and hands with it? The dog food one, or the one container you’re using for a dog food container. Did you get that to roll out or did you just drag it out?

[@bobbygfl]

At the sink we use both. And yes I’ve been putting Dawn in it and I have had no problems. Sometimes Palmolive. Either way no problems. If I have a grease on my hands or oil I use the dish soap if I’m just washing my hands or use the foaming soap from simple human. No, no problem with shopping either way. The dog food container is on wheels. They are only in the rear so you lift it slightly and it rolls. Thanks for the comment!

[@AzazelsWings]

I use dawn in mine too, no problem

[@loveralien1575]

How do you trouble shoot? Did it dispense right away when you first got it or did you have issues? I just bought 2 and neither dispenses

[@bobbygfl]

I had no issues however I charge them overnight before I did anything. The best thing to do is chat with them on their website they are very responsive and they will walk you through and text you pictures of how to troubleshoot.

[@carrie9602]

what a good son!!!!! such a nice gift! I wanted to add that these ' little gems' of kitchen gadgets are super helpful when trying to teach your child how to wash their hands. Also, I'm a teacher and if I ever win lotsa money I will replace my 1980's soap dispenser with Simple Humans! It makes the process so easy and it lessens the mess for me (mama) later on throughout the day. My son LOVES using it so it's great incentive for keeping clean and covid safe. I did have a question about the lid on the smaller one with the back you didn't like.....Does the top screw on or just stay on? I am worried it might tip over at my house? I promise you I really do have a life.....but for right now, I am just really into my Simple Human items! You have such a pretty home! And pretty countertops/granite? I live in the Bay Area and I would pay 5.1 million for anything near what you have! ha ha I will be as bold to say this: I vote that you take off the stickers on the one's in your kitchen to make them look more streamlined and keep the stickers on in the bathrooms for guests or what not? That's my vote. They go well with the style and the sticker ruins the sleekness. I guess Im a California snob? h a ha ha Best to you and thank you for your video!

[@bobbygfl]

That’s a brilliant idea. The stickers have absolutely no value for someone who knows how to use them. I’m totally doing that

[@sophialam2481]

Thanks for the video! Do you think the foam dispenser is better than the the liquid dispenser... since all the new ones you bought are foam dispensers? I know the foam soap lasts a while after the refill... but do the liquid soap need significantly more frequent refills (given that foam uses less in each pump)? I'm just debating which one to get... so would appreciate your opinion. Thanks!

[@bobbygfl]

I love their cucumber melon foaming soap and prefer it for hand washing. That’s why I have the foaming one in all the bathrooms. We use dawn soap for dishes and with the right brush you can activate the pump with the brush, so that why we have one liquid non foaming pump in the kitchen next to the foaming one. Thanks for the question! Hope that helps. Here’s a link to brush we like. Not all brushes will activate the pump. Has to be dense with bristles.

[@dalbriggss]

My first foaming Simple Human soap dispenser stopped charging after 1-1/2 years. The warranty replacement came & it worked for about a week...and it no longer charges and I noticed there was brown water inside the clear pump enclosure, so I think it was leaking and shorted itself out. Contacted Simple human again, and I am waiting to hear back. I have owned several of these units in the past and have always loved them, but I have become frustrated as of late. I am hoping the new replacement will work without any issues!

How do you change the battery? if you could do a video for how to change the battery that would be great. Mine stopped working and wouldn't even charge. I was told to change the internal battery.....

[@bobbygfl]

It’s defective. Call them. They will replace it. I believe they had a bad batch because there is literally zero resistance to replacing it they just need you to send them an email and a picture.

[@patricialawson2447]

You don’t take the one that charges on the back apart. Will it come apart like the foam one?

[@Jess_Bishop]

Do you know if I can use a different brand of soap or do I need to use only Simple Human brand of soap?

[@bobbygfl]

I use dawn in the reg pump and it works fine. I only use simple human soap in the foaming pumps so I’m not sure. I’d assume any foaming soap would work.

[@dubz5149]

Any foaming soap should work. The viscosity is the main difference. Like he mentioned, it's very runny. Foaming soap is thin and runny while liquid soap is more of a liquidy gel typically.

[@spattipati]

It worked well for 2 years and after 2 years they stopped working for me (it won't charge) and they go out of warranty and you are required to buy new ones. It is very pricy and have it working only for 2 years is not good. Hope they do a better job.

[@bobbygfl]

Agreed. They should last longer. Amazon provides a path to purchase and return.

[@Drewapple100]

How have they held up with using dawn?

[@bobbygfl]

Working perfectly. Over a year now.

[@josefsalih8268]

hi, can you use the foam one as a normal liquid soap dispenser, or does the foam one only dispence foam, thanks

[@bobbygfl]

Only foam. If you put thicker soap in it, it will try to produce foam from the thicker soap by it injecting air in it. Doesn’t work out very well.

[@josefsalih8268]

Thank you so much for promptly replying. So what type of soap would you use for the foam. Thnaks again much appreciated

[@bobbygfl]

I use the simple human soap. The cucumber one smells very good.

[@rauljuarez9035]

How long am I supposed to charge it for, and also, do you keep it on at all times?

[@bobbygfl]

Charge overnight is what I’ve been doing and yes keep on always except fir when cleaning. Lasts about 3 months then will flash red when dispensing to indicate it’s time to charge.

Do they work with hand lotion?

[@bobbygfl]

Yes they should work with hand lotion. I know they work with hand sanitizer. But the soap that runs through the non-foaming version is the consistency of hand lotion.

That bit is really winding me up as I don’t know if mine is faulty. Their website claims the light flashes green while charging and goes out when fully charged. Only had mine a couple of months and the green light starts off solid when you go to charge it and never turns off. Poor form as surely it must mean something is wrong?

[@datmeme8967]

The idea of an automatic soap dispenser seems so brilliant since, as they say, it keeps you from touching a dirty manual soap pump. That is, until you actually think about it. What do you do right after touching a manual soap dispenser? WASH YOUR HANDS WITH THE SOAP YOU JUST PUMPED.

You do not need to wait for the battery to go to 0% before charge. That is bad for lithium-ion batt erys. You never want to go below 10 percent and should not go below 20% once it is 20% or so you should charge it.
