Better Homes & Gardens Faux Marble Soap Dish, White

This soap pump from Better Homes and Gardens works like a charm. The dispenser has a good feel to it. It's heavy enough to feel substantial without overdoing it and the chrome plastic top is easy to clean and doesn't hold crud when wiped off. I was a little worried about the exterior of the dispenser because it almost has a porous soap stone kind of feel to it. On one hand that's great because it won't slip out of your hands like a smooth ceramic dispenser, but I was worried it might stain. However, I've been doing everything I can to stain it, clog it and break it with no luck at all. It can easily stand up to my abuse after coming in from the garage where I work on pretty much everything. The outside of the dispenser is a nice, light marble color that matches most decors without standing out excessively. We'd been using several of the plastic soap pumps from the soap manufacturers, but this is head and shoulders above on both looks and heft. This Better Homes pump doesn't slide out from under my greasy hands due to the foam rubber bottom that keeps it where I place it, and prevents the dispenser from scratching up the counter as well. My bride likes all the above, but also the fact that she can dispense the hand soap with just one hand if her other hand is full. The operation is easy and smooth, and when you're done the spout doesn't drip soap onto your counter like many of the others we've tried. The soap stops cleanly and the remainder in the dispensing tube stays put. Also, the amount of soap dispensed is perfect. We like the fact that with the Better Homes and Gardens dispenser we can save money using economical refills of soap instead of buying a new, but rather ugly, pre-filled plastic dispenser every time. Overall I'm very happy with this item. I don't usually get that excited about a household cleaning product, but this one does everything it needs to do and lacks nothing. Strong recommendation.

When I received this item I was pleasantly shocked at its size. It is overall around 10 inches tall. The capacity for soap is 1.5 times what a traditional dispenser would hold. So it is clearly not marble because marble is cool to the touch. However, one might be fooled because the item is QUITE heavy like marble and from a distance the paint job looks very realistic. On the bottom it has a non slip grip pad which is very awesome. When I first saw the pump spout I thought it was weird because it was straight and not bent down like a spigot. After filling it and using it though, it worked perfectly. The underside of the pump head seems to have an o-ring so I don't anticipate any leaking or clogs. Overall I am VERY pleased with the product, especially the ample size and weight.
