Aeakey Fully Automatic Foaming Soap Dispenser

Okay, so I would had given this product 5 stars if rechargeable batteries would had work without some modification to them.To get rechargeable batter to work with this soap dispenser, I had to cover the positive end of the rechargeable battery with aluminum foil for it to work. The spring inside the battery compartment is not making contact with the rechargeable battery it only make contact with the plastic part of the rechargeable battery. So to make contact with the spring inside the battery compartment, I had to cover the positive end of the rechargeable battery with aluminum foil.The soap dispenser is what I wanted for my kitchen. It help me keep spreading germs to a minimum. The setting is straight forward, hold the power button for 3 seconds to power on, and once powered on tap the power button once to change between two dispense rate.Overall I am happy with the product.

I have 3 of the Aeakey foaming soap dispensers and 2 Kohler dispensers.My family prefers the Aeakey dispensers over the Kohlers. Both dispense home made soap mix as a foam, but the Aeakey has finer foam that lasts longer (always good when your washing your hands for at least 20sec) but it does not have a timer. We are guessing at the 20sec wash cycle based on the foam disappearing on our hands.All 3 of our Aeakey dispensers have worked great, but the newest one developed an issue with not foaming after 3 weeks of use. After receiving a prompt email reply from Aeakey Support( via Amzon website), I followed their instructions (see attached) to make it foam again. Unfortunately this did not fix the problem. Without hesitation, Aeakey Support offered a replacement…..which arrived 2 days later. Wow, what customer support!For my family the Aeakey beats the Kohler in all aspects. Foaming is better, battery usage is lower, reservoir is larger and has an easier to observe soap level, it is more attractive and provides 2 useful foam volume levels. The Aeakey also has the batteries in a better location, further away from the wet counter top compared to the Kohler.I highly recommend the Aeakey foam soap dispenser for your bathroom, kitchen and/or workshop. Creating your own foam soap mix is easy (1 part soap, 3 parts water) and you can use any type of liquid soap except soap with added particles/beads. I recommend not to overfill the soap container and not to over tighten it when screwing it back in place.Due to the battery compartment arrangement the dispenser requires AA cells that have a large contact area around the battery top. Some “heavy duty” battery types do not have this and may not work consistently in this dispenser. I have not had any problem using standard alkaline AA cells.

Original ReviewBasically I love everything about it … I actually got three of these being so impressed with the functionality and ease of use. Unfortunately one of them has stopped dispensing soap and there appears to be no way for customer support and it’s past the relatively short return window (I’ve only had them a few months). Given the other two of three units are working well I figure it should get three stars … if I could get a replacement unit for the faulty dispenser (or had it not stopped working !) then I’d give it 5/5 stars.Update 9 May 2020After I left the above review, the company contacted me to offer to send a refund or a replacement for the dispenser. I expressed my preference for a replacement (since I love the dispensers) and it is on the way. I am impressed that they offered to rectify this without my asking, and am modifying my review to 5/5 stars :-).
