5.0 out of 5 stars So easy to refill, Love it!, April 5 2012

This review is from: Umbra Penguin Soap Pump, Nickel (Kitchen)
The best Soap Pump ever! A simple classic look, easy to fill, easy to use. Everything you have ever wanted in a Soap Dispenser. You can even control how much soap you get, by controlling how hard you push down on the pump. I like it so much I have now purchased 4. This is the first soap dispenser that I have ever really been happy with. I only wonder, what took so long and was it designed by a woman? A must buy!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pump! Attractive, functional, well-designed!, Oct 29 2010

This review is from: Umbra Penguin Soap Pump, Nickel (Kitchen)
I looked a lot of reviews of soap dispensers online before buying this one. I wanted something silver or metallic, and a lot of the ones like this for sale seem to lose their metallic paint/plating rather fast (according to the reviews I read).

This dispenser, however, has not had its surface chip or rub off. It still looks nice and metallic like in the picture.

Best features:

* Stable (I can pump the top with my elbow or arm if my hands are greasy, and it won't fall over.)
* Clean & neat (Soap dispenses without dripping.)
* Attractive
* Tactile-wise, nice to the touch (never feels cold)
* Easy to refill (Unlike standard dispensers that require you to get sticky or soapy to refill, the bottom of this one screws off easily and neatly, so it's very easy to refill)

2.0 out of 5 stars A little too cheap, Jan 30 2011
By JP "rocketman2" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Umbra Penguin Soap Pump, Nickel (Kitchen)
I will agree with the other reviews here about the appearance of this item. I guess I expect too much and its $13+ price tag should have sent me elsewhere, but this item is cheap-cheap-cheap. I wondered how the manufacturer had managed such a thin coating of nickel over a thin plastic shell and discovered it was actually spray paint or something close. The mild castile soap we use in these and other pumps began eating through this coating the first few days we had it. The other two we have in bathrooms are still intact. We've just been lucky the soap hasn't dripped off the nozzle onto the shell yet. I'll update on their fate if they also fail.

Alcohol (70% rubbing) will remove the coating instantly, so I imagine other solvents/chemicals may do the same. You'll have to keep your hair sprays, deodorant, skin cleansing pads, etc. away from it. Overspray from these toiletries will most likely be the end of the Penguin, as you know it. I was attempting to salvage the ruined pump and the first touch of alcohol removed the coating, not something you want in a bathroom or kitchen environment (or any other for that matter).

Cute, but more of today's disposable junk driven by greed. Next stop - a good German manufacturer. Wonder if Audi makes soap dispensers? Ha!

As promised, here's a follow-up for failures.

Both of the other pumps (nickel) coating failed. I removed all the coating with nothing more than alcohol and now have two chrome plated looking units. Not too cool with brushed nickel everywhere else. Audi doesn't make soap dispensers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Eh...I'm Over It..., April 2 2011

This review is from: Umbra Penguin Soap Pump, Red (Kitchen)
I was looking for a soap dispenser that was "different" and would sorta stand out a bit. This one stands out, but not in a good way. I decided once I got it and put it on the counter that it kind of ruins the classy look of my decor - it is childish looking. It really does look like a penguin and I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be able to stand it before it get rid of it...surely it will make someone in my life happy when I give it away to them!

As far as functionality goes, it holds a lot of soap and it pumps out relatively easy. However, the soap pump leaks. There is a plastic cylindrical container with threads on it (where the soap is held) that screws into the inside of the red outer layer. Somehow, soap gets in between the two laters and starts to seep down past the red part. I tried rinsing it multiple times, it just keeps coming back. Just for the record, no, I did not over fill the soap dispenser. However, I wonder if there is some sort of vacuum created by the design that forces the soap up and out through the threads and down the sides...
