V470 Soap Dispenser

I absolutely love this automatic soap dispenser! The touchless sensor works really well and dispenses just the right amount of soap every time. 🙌It makes hand washing so much more hygienic, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. I also love how sleek and modern it looks — it blends in nicely with the space.The capacity is great, so I don’t have to refill it constantly, and it’s very easy to use and set up. 💧Overall, it’s a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in daily routine. Highly recommend! ✨

I purchased this soap dispenser to replace another motion sensor dispenser that broke right away. I had originally used Simple Human, but it became way to expensive to replace when they broke. I tried a few other brands before this one and they worked in jerky spurts or broke real fast.I liked this dispenser. It was a good price and looked a little nicer than some of the others. When I received it, it worked well and the batteries lasted a good length. I had planned on writing a review then; but, as happens to us all, life became busy and I forgot.Ten months later, the unit stopped working suddenly. I reached out to their customer service and received a response within two days. They gave me a few cleaning options to try for when the dispensing mechanism might have become jammed up. They didn't work. I e-mailed back to see what next steps I could take. They wrote back less than 24 hours later telling me they were sending me a replacement unit and I should receive a confirmation letter with tracking number. Five days later, I had the new unit in hand and it works perfectly.The only ding on this unit is sometimes you have to put your hand in a specific area under the sensor, but that is true with most these type of units. I really like the look of it, it holds a nice amount of soap so you don't have to constantly refill, the batteries last a good amount of time and obviously, the customer service was fantastic. I do not know many companies that ten months later, with no "purchased" warranty that will give you a new unit when the original one breaks.I highly recommend this soap dispenser not just because it works well; but, also for the quick response customer service. I plan on finding other products this company makes in case I need something in the future that they offer.

This is my second soap dispenser this exact dispenser. The last one lasted over three years, which I find pretty impressive as most things don’t last that long. I absolutely love this dispenser. It hangs on the wall very tightly and just works great! I already bought it again, but if I need to, I’ll purchase this item yet again definitely worth the money!

Lasted 2 years and now the motor is out.The dispenser worked fairly well. The dispense capacity was somewhat weak and the adjuster didn't seem to help much. Often it would take several tries to trigger the pump.I liked that the battery compartment was away from anywhere water might get. The previous model we had died after 3 months because the batteries were on the bottom.The 4 AA batteries lasted a year.

3 year update:My Secura stopped working some weeks ago. I was very sad b/c it had served me very well and I even decorated it with a Porco Rosso sticker on the front some years ago. By stopped working, I mean the dispenser stopped dispensing soap no matter how many times I put my hand under the sensor. I ordered a replacement immediately and I noticed a difference: At absolute minimum setting the new Secura pumped out a lot more soap than what I was used to with my old one. With my old one, I can turn the dial to about a quarter of the way and it still dispensed a lot less soap than the new one. Unfortunately after about two weeks the new Secura finished all the soap. I remember I didn't replace the soap as soon as two weeks with my old one. At minimum it took a few months.The issue with my old Secura was that probably water had been trapped on the sensor and over time it developed rust on the transparent portion of the sensor which I later learned to be the IR emitter. This rust then creeped inside and ate the anode pin of the IR emitter eventually causing a disconnect. As a result my old Secura didn't dispense soap b/c the sensor was effectively broken. What was strange though was the blue LED would flash every so often. Before I discovered the rust problem, I was just confused what the flashing blue LED meant. Now I know it means the sensor is broken.So now I was determined to open up my old Secura and replace the IR emitter. I liked my old Secura dispensing a smaller amount of soap than the new Secura which required replacing the soap every two weeks.Here's how I took it apart:There are screws at the bottom. After removing the bottom panel, there is another set of screws to remove the bottom piece holding on to the motor. To make things easy to remove, I unsoldered the wires from the motor. Remember the yellow wire goes to the pin on the motor with the red dot. Now the back piece that houses the battery compartment can be slid down a bit to reveal two screws at the top securing the top chrome piece. Before removing the top chrome piece, there is a screw to remove right by the sensors. Now the top chrome piece can be easily removed to reveal the circuit board. The board is held down by two screws. Now the board can be adjusted up a bit to reveal the IR emitter and IR sensor. I managed to unsolder the broken IR emitter and also clean the board area when the emitter connected b/c it was a bit of a rust farm.I didn't know what type of IR emitter my Secura used. I just picked 940mm IR emitter b/c that seemed to be the usual thing used for a sensor application. I soldered a new one in, put everything back together including re-soldering the wires to the correct pins on the motor: yellow wire to pin with red dot.My old Secura is back in business! To help prevent water and rust forming again and attacking the sensors, I applied transparent tape over them. It still works!The new Secura is decommissioned for now. It dispenses too much soap even at minimum setting.---I revived a Simplehuman automatic soap dispenser for a family member used at her business. It has been in use for about a year without any issues.Ever since I fixed* it I have always wanted one for myself but felt the footprint design was too big for my bathroom sink.Sorry for starting out with a competing product, but I wanted to explain how I wound up with Secura instead.After some research, I decided on Secura. I chose it because I liked the cylindrical window design to see the amount of soap and thought it would be a small enough unit that would fit in my limited bathroom sink area. I was also convinced by the reviewer that compared it with a competing product that looked exactly the same except the spout was different. The reviewer pointed out that the other product had leakage issues at the spout. And that other product has a tapered spout whereas the Secura has what appears to be no spout. It is just a little flat "nub" sticking out. So I thought the type of spout made a difference. However since I haven't had any issues with Simplehuman's dispenser which has tapered spout I was confused. I decided to put my money towards that comparison review.To my surprise, when my dispenser arrived I noticed it has a tapered spout! I immediately thought, "Wow, I could have gotten the similar looking product instead." I also confirmed my dispenser has the "Secura" name stamped to make sure I wasn't mistakenly sent the other product. I can only assume, or hope, the company is making changes to improve the product.Another surprise was that the product was bigger than I thought. I didn't check the product measurements so that's on me. I wanted a smaller product because of my limited bathroom sink area.Despite these surprises, I still wanted to try it out.I poured in an entire bottle of Seventh Generation Natural Hand Wash Hibiscus and Cardamom scent 12 oz. The soap is slightly watery but it still came out of the dispenser fine. I set the adjustment wheel to about medium. When dispensing soap, I leave my hand there until everything comes out. There is no soap leakage afterwards.The instructions says on first use to activate the sensor several times in order to get the soap running through the tubes. I made the mistake of setting the adjustment wheel to the lowest setting and nothing was coming out. Finally I dialed up maximum and after the second or third swipe soap was coming out.I like this product but I wish Secura would also make a slightly smaller unit. If possible maybe about 10-20% shorter. It would also be nice if the cylinder diameter can be smaller, again about 10-20%.Since this dispenser is too large to rest on my bathroom sink area, I had to place it elsewhere. I decided to put it up against the wall. I used two sets of Command Large Picture Hanging Strips. These things work like Velcro except it's stronger. I didn't want to drill a hole in the wall so these Command strips were perfect for the job.I'm including pictures of my dispenser showing the tapered spout and the size comparison of the dispenser with a 12-inch ruler along with my limited bathroom sink rest area. I'm also including a slo-mo video of the dispenser in action.*For those interested about what I did to fix the Simplehuman soap dispenser ...First I apologize that I don't recall everything but I generally remember the main issue was that the dispenser got dirty inside and prevented it from working. One area was the battery compartment. There was soap residue and battery acid over the battery contacts thereby preventing connections with the batteries. I had to sticks, both wooden and metal, along with tissue paper to get all the gunk out and clean out the battery contacts. Another area was circuit board. It was also dirty and prevented the buttons from working. I remember carefully taking it apart to examine and clean everything.But back to the battery compartment, I didn't like that it was on the bottom. Naturally to replace batteries, I would flip the dispenser upside down. But the problem with that is Simplehuman didn't design a leak-proof cap. So that means soap would leak all over, which I suspect caused the dirtiness problem and the dispenser not working in the first place. So having learned my lesson, the next time I opened the battery compartment door, I held up the dispenser and opened it from the bottom. Now the problem with that is gravity is still working against me and the batteries would drop immediately causing loud noises.So I like that Secura has the battery compartment at the side. I don't have to flip or hold up the dispenser. I just let it stand as usual on a flat surface, hold down the top, unscrew the two screws and open the battery door.

This is one of the worst products that I bought on Amazon. I usually don't leave reviews and have never left a bad one, but this is just outrageous.The first time I bought this, it seemed to work well, so I went ahead and ordered another five so they would be in each bathroom of my house. As well as also purchasing a few to gift to others when I got complements.Fast forward to just a few months, they all slowly start to break.Not all at the same time, of course, it just started with a lack of function on one. I changed the batteries, contacted support, did whatever I could but to no avail. Then the rest all started to break with no way to fix them. I've tried to even order new ones and the last two have literally arrived completely broken (not working, even with multiple battery switches, troubleshooting, etc.). It's just that they work fine for a few months and then totally crap out.Well guess what ... I only went this far since I thought, with so many great reviews, that it must be quality, maybe a few lemons here and there. But nope ...Quality has gone even further downhill where new variants simply don't even work out of the box.Now I'm left with a house full of useless dispensers (and when you have dirty hands and go to the sink only to discover that there's no soap, well, it's no fun at all) plus all the friends I gave them to who are embarrassed to let me know that my gift quite literally didn't work.Zero stars for quality, terrible value, not only a waste of money but an enormous waste of my time, energy, and money. I wish I never bought anything from this company.

It was nice while it lasted. It looked nice on my countertop. It dispensed, nicely and easily. Then it stopped working, even, with new batteries. The reviewers said that it won't last more than a few months, but I beat the odds.

This is the third Secura 17oz Automatic Liquid Soap Dispenser we’ve purchased, which says a lot about its quality. The first one lasted around two years, which is impressive for a touchless dispenser used daily. It works reliably, dispenses soap smoothly, and is very convenient for kitchen or bathroom use. Overall, it’s a great product with solid durability and consistent performance, and we’re happy to keep coming back to it.

No es un producto barato, pero su precio lo vale, ha tenido otros muy parecidos peor a mitad de precio y me salieron mal en muy poco tiempo. Ya una semana en uso y va muy bien, espero que así siga y si en un par de meses continúa perfecto su funcionamiento compraré dos más.

This dispenser is really great... I bought a soap dispenser similar to this one previously but the design of this one is much better. I like that the top twists off to fill...so easy, and it's tall with clean lines. My other dispenser has a lift up top (not removable) and doesn't lift completely up so it's difficult to maneuver and fill.***It is now 8 months later and is still going strong...Love this dispenser...Thx****It is now 3 years later and it stopped working...but the light still flickers, so I am hopeful it will start again. Even though this dispenser stopped working I would say it's a great product...3 years is a long time!

Bought 3 different dispensers in one day. The sleekest design (white, Japanese brand) never worked a day and was thrown out. The ducky (China brand) was wonderful while it lasted -- 3 months. The 1st 2 mentioned were chargeable, whereas my 3rd (this one) is battery-run, and the most plain-looking. Yet it out-lasted its "superiors" that cost more and looked better. Someone could make a moral of a story out of this.

هذا شرائي الثاني لهذا المنتج، حجمة ملائم و طريقة تعديل إنسكاب كمية الصابون سهله و مناسبه. وطريقة تعبئتة سهله. يأتي مع مسمار و بلاستيك خلفي في حال رغبت في تعليق المنتج على الجدار.بشكل عام المنتج ممتاز والى هذة الوقت لم أواجه مشاكل معه.ربما مشكلته الوحيدة عندي سعره المرتفع.

I bought this soap dispenser in Dec/2019 and I wanted to give it a try before writing my review. I am happy with its performance so far and like that it holds a lot of soap, thus less refilling is required. I use soft soap in mine and like that you can also control the amount of soap that comes out. Easy to keep clean and it doesn’t go off at random like the Lysol one I use to have. The rubber grip underneath ensures that it stays put.****Update- Feb 2020. My soap dispenser accidentally fell in the sink with water in it and it stopped working. I opened it up and dried the battery compartment and shook out as much water as I could and let it sit overnight. Next morning it worked like nothing ever happened. I will definitely be ordering more as this impressed me so much. I thought for sure it was ruined. I guess putting the batteries on the side instead of on the bottom is definitely a great idea. So glad I purchased this soap dispenser. (I wish you would give a discount for multiple orders). Reviewed by a very satisfied customer.Update- Aug:2020.My first secure is still working perfectly. I was a bit concerned when I couldn’t get another. Thank goodness another one came back in stock and I had this in my wish list. I ordered another and plan to order more for friends and family so please keep them in stock.
