hansgrohe Bath and Kitchen SinkSoap, Talis 4-inch, Modern Chrome, 40448001 Soap Dispenser

We learned our lesson with soap dispensers for our sink. We bought a no name inexpensive one from a big box hardware store thinking they were all the same. While the old one functioned; it also dripped and then eventually just stopped working. It also did not really match anything we had other than in its finish. This time when we changed out our faucet we decided to go with a well known name: what a difference a Hansgrohe product makes. The dispenser is not only shaped in a way to match most faucets, but it is also very sturdy, does not drip, and goes far enough into the sink that we can use it without having to take pots and dishes up to it to get soap. It is also wide enough at the top and so easy to dispense that just pushing it with part of our hands will dispense soap. It is easy to install and given its evident quality; a good value as well.

Love the simplicity… matches our faucet perfectly. Very easy to fill/refill … Perfect!

Purchased my first under-counter soap dispenser in 2014 during a kitchen remodel (and off-brand). It worked for 5 years but was never great - from that experience, I assumed soap dispensers were never gonna be completely satisfactory (they would clog or not draw soap fully up sometimes).I finally decided enough was enough & started “the great soap dispenser search of 2021” :-)5 mid-priced, unsatisfactory dispensers later , I finally decided to stop being a cheapskate & ordered the Hansgrohe (have a Hansgrohe Talis faucet in Steel Optik finish). Oddly the design of the Talis soap dispenser is not exactly a match for the Talis faucet - it close enough but strange how Hansgrohe didn't mimic the shape of the talis faucet - not a big deal. Also, the steel optik finish of the faucet is slightly deeper than that soap dispenser, so close its almost hard to tell.The function of the Hansgrohe Soap Dispenser is awesome & clearly a well made product - much heavier & solid than other dispensers I tried. The outlet of the Hansgrohe also has a hidden rubber tip for clearing/cleaning dried soap residue.The Hansgrohe is the best soap dispenser I have ever used - works perfectly & built to last a lifetime. In fact, all Hansgrohe products I’ve used have been exceptional. Design-wise, the Talis Soap Dispenser is attractive & would go with any modern/contemporary style kitchen. Don’t buy 5 cheapos like I did ... you get what you pay for. I now own 3 of these dispensers for my home and cottage.

A Beautiful soap dispenser that has a spout long enough to reach a little beyond the sink- the first one we bought was too short and the installer of new countertops insisted that the holes be drilled in a straight line: meaning that the faucet and the dispenser holes are in line with each other. This dispenser meets that need as well as being a Hans Grohe so it matches the faucet (nit picky.. but still). East to install, works as it should - we're happy. Oh! and it was a 'used' or 'returned" item offered by Amazon and it was in perfect condition. This is the 3rd time we have ordered a return and they have all been just like new. This dispenser came in its original box.

I was skeptical ordering this unit, only because I had read so many reviews stating it was hard to push down this dispenser while holding the sponge with one hand while trying to dispense dishwashing liquid. What are those people complaining about, I am a 58yo man with severe arthritis and I have NO problem holding the sponge with one had while dispensing dishwashing liquid onto the sponge. It only took me 5 minutes to install this fill it with dishwasher liquid / install it.....and start using it. It came pre-assembled and was SUPER easy to install. I am very happy with my purchase, this unit feels very well made and is easy to use.

Broke after 5 months. The springs used in the pump corroded quickly and the pump stopped working for the soap dispenser.

I get it that parts wear out, and I might hate this in a year, but for now, going strong after months and several refills.I forgot I even wrote this, "Nov '21" and it worked flawlessly *until* I bought a thicker softsoap blend, which sort of, killed it.I mean, it shoots out (the thinner stuff I quickly replaced the thicker soap with) and I rinsed it, added some water, etc, and it's like me, old and anemic. (the springs died apparently)The great experiment: Buying a brand new one to replace the old one, will either die quickly or last a couple more years. You never find my reviews helpful, maybe I'm too honest...Trendy thick soap killed it, RIPI hope the new one works.And it did, but now it's Feb 2024 and it's dying (not dead!)It's rubbing against something or the springs get progressively weaker, I don't know, butI don't dare get another brand that might not fit (I only want the top part.)Third time's the charm, right?

Six months ago I purchased a much cheaper one that looked great from the outside but the inside was cheap plastic that broke, creating waste.This one is solid all around, and the pipe where you screw the plastic connector on is made is Metal (that’s the part that broke off on my old one).Great suction power too as I use the MT tubing system direct to the Dawn bottle under the sink.
