Recently my children spent the weekend with my mother. Once home Evan announced that Grandma had packed a present for our family. My mother is a very generous person who loves to pass on items like: sweaters that don't fit. I'm 8 inches taller than her. To my surprise he emerged with two Lysol No-Hand Soap Dispenser Kits. This from the same woman who told me I should eat dirt during pregnancy to build up my children's immunities?
The dispenser's have been sitting by the kitchen sink and in the boys bathroom. What have I discovered?
a.) Because of the sensor we waste more soap than use when little hands decide to play how-fast-can-I-go.
b.) An 8.5oz refill cartridge costs more than a 34oz refill pouch from a competing brand.
c.) You can retrofit the original cartridge and refill it with different soap. This requires a process with a power drill and grommet system.
d.) I hate processes that require a power drill and grommet system.
Lesson learned: Even with a fancy gadget, I still have to remind them to wash their hands.
And none of them work now because the batteries went into the XBox 360 controllers.
