I had the larger model, but got stuck with the older smaller one.

Apparently you can't buy the larger kitchen version unless you get it as a set with the sponge holder. When the batteries died in my older larger model, I ordered this one, not realizing it was smaller and doesn't hold as much. I'll keep it. But you really should sell both sizes separately. Not everyone wants a sponge tray.
This dispenser works really, really well. I'm not generally a fan of touchless technology, but I love this Simplehuman product. I appreciate that you can dispense more or less soap based on how far away you hold your hand from the sensor. It's also very easy to refill.
After testing out my first sensor pump, I purchased additional dispensers for myself and my mother, who (at 91) doesn't have enough hand strength and coordination to use a normal pump dispenser.
This product is a great alternative to pump dispensers that collect germs and guck from the hand washers. We ordered the carbon black dispensers for the bathroom and the kitchen. I appreciate that the dispenser has an inconspicuous on and off switch on its backside. I wish that the lid was made to stay atop the dispenser more securely, for when I move the dispenser, the lid comes right off if I touch it.
This replaces first one (I have 3) that is old and won’t charge any more. They are in 2 bathrooms and kitchen. Was using them before Covid. No messy soap dishes or bars of soap! Love them. So convenient. Highly recommend. Recharge quickly.
