Soap Dispenser for Kitchen Sink (Black Matte), Built in Soap Dispenser, Stainless Steel Pump Replacement

I swapped out an older faucet and after we installed the new one we realized there was a 2nd hole for a Soap dispenser which was previously covered by a mounting plate. I grabbed this little guy when I saw it on sale for a good price and it worked out perfectly. The color matched (Matte black) and seems to be decent quality.

I got tired of cutting my hand on the soap dispenser in the bathroom whenever I cleaned the sink so it was time to replace the dispenser. I knew that the new one had to fit the hole exactly so I went back to where it had been purchased and discovered that what they had wouldn't work. I figured Amazon might have what I needed and I was right, it fit perfectly. My only issue was that my arms weren't quite long enough to hold the dispenser on the sink and the bottle under it at the same time so I enlisted the help of a pair of pliers - a tool that us old folks depend on - and it worked. The new one fit perfectly. I then went back to Amazon and ordered another dispenser since the one in the kitchen had failed pumping - it had developed a hole under the spout. Being a plumber's daughter I did a temporary fix - a piece of tape that worked until I got a new one. This one took two people since there was no way I could do it myself so my granddaughter helped me replace the dispenser and I am very pleased.

This product is what I was looking for. I had originally purchased the Kräus matte black dispenser, but it would drip for about 5-10 seconds each time the pump was pressed. The design of the Kräus makes it to where the pump return is slow, and that makes it dribble soap until it has completed the return. If I were able to replace their spring with a stronger one, it would have helped, but it’s a sealed spring system.I was hesitant to buy this Kimi Cuisine one, not being a brand I’m familiar with. However, it is matte black and looks exactly like the Kräus model. The only difference in the two models, is the Kimi Cuisine one operates as intended. It’s a good pump that returns upright quickly. Therefore, it does not dribble soap. I sure didn’t want to keep wasting soap with the other one, nor did I want to continue holding the sponge under the pump for 10 seconds. That gets old rather quick.I would recommend this product to anybody looking for a dispenser. Whether matte black, stainless, whatever finish is needed. If anybody is to ask for my assistance in choosing a dispenser, this is the first one I would point them toward.This is a well built dispenser that looks like top brand models, and performs above the standards of top brand models.I have yet to add a long hose into my soap jug, so I’ve only used the screw on container that the pump comes with. I don’t see how that would affect the performance, but I wanted to make that clear. I’ve only used it in the configuration it arrives with.

I used this model for over a year before I switched to dawn. I thought the suction went bad, the soap is just too thick for it. Best to use cheaper soap or cut dawn with some water to lower the density. Works great otherwise

The piece of tubing provided, that is intended to be immersed in the liquid soap (aka "pump-tube" in the installation instructions provided) absolutely will not fit into the pump dispenser. It's basically the same diameter as the part of the dispenser it's supposed to mate with, so good luck getting that together. With great effort and much frustration, I was finally able to force them together, but that caused the tube to buckle and the first time I drew it out of the pump dispenser to add soap, it fell out. I will not repeat the virulent curse words and ill will I expressed towards the designer of this POS at that time. I was about to throw the whole thing in the garbage, when on a whim I thought I'd check to see if I had a stray piece of tubing that might fit better. By dumb luck it turned out that a piece of 1/4" drip irrigation tubing I had laying around fit perfectly. Time will tell if it will be reliable, but for now it's installed and working.UPDATE - After reading of my problems with the pump tube, the mfg contacted me and assured me they wanted to make things right. They are sending me an improved tube that should solve the problem. They assured me they would correct the problem I had at no extra cost to me. I am upgrading them to a 5 star rating.

You can see what a $100.00 investment on Amazon did for my kitchen sink. The images show the old original 1995 sink and the new 2021 sink. The soap dispenser and squared base plate were added to better suit my liking. To install the liquid soap dispenser I had to drill and grind out a hole in the new brushed nickel base plate so be sure your measurements are accurate before drilling. The squared base plate covered the holes better on the base of the sink where the rubber gasket fits when mounting the faucet. I then installed the soap bottle from under the sink. Make sure the soap bottle is empty when installing and get it good and tight because this should be the last time you need to remove it. Next go back up top and add the liquid soap by simply lifting the pump handle out of the soap dispenser. Once the soap bottle is full reinstall the pump soap dispenser handle and pump the handle several pumps to purge the air from the pump. Do yourself a favor and save a bunch of money to get that same expensive look with the same features as the big brand names.

The top kept popping off of my old soap dispenser and it was difficult to push down and wouldn't pop back up. I could have opted for a cheaper version to replace it with, but I went for the best rated one on Amazon within my budget. This matches my faucet perfectly, it's all one molded unit so the top will never pop off and a light pressing dispenses plenty of soap! I was so used to having to whale on the other one, I need to retrain my brain to press this one lightly. The soap does not go flying across the sink or anything. This works beautifully and was well worth the money spent.
