KOHLER 1895-C-VS Kitchen Sink Soap Dispenser with Contemporary Design, Store Liquid Soap, Dishwasher Liquid, or Hand Lotion, Vibrant Stainless, 16oz

This product is well built, looks good, works great - when used properly!! This item is made to dispense hand soap and moisturizer!!!! It is not designed to be used with heavy dishwashing soap like Dawn, etc.!!Don't be so lazy, reach under the sink when you need dishwashing soap. People are leaving so many bad reviews on a good product because they are not using it for the intended purpose. I've had this for 8 months with zero issues, I also unscrew the bottle to refill it rather than dumping it through the top.

Great product and easy to install.

I'm not sure why the reviews are so bad for this item.I bought my Soap dispenser in March 2011 and just recently had to replace the soap container. I bought this because the price was good for the brushed nickel/stainless look and good price. It looks great in my Chef's kitchen (Wolf Range, English country sink and Subzero, Boshe, Miele appliances). I'm so hard on this dispenser and do oversized platters and pots/pans 3-4 times a day. I've never had a problem with the pump action or refilling. Recently, I wanted to clean the soap bottle and it got torn at the neck. I called Kohler and they were able to replace it for me. I normally purchase higher name brand products but will look at Kohler for any product in the future based on this experience!

Purchased this to replace the soap dispenser that came with the faucet. This replacement is a much higher quality than the original and was simple to install in minutes.

The fact that this is a 14-year review should say more than anything else.We couldn't be more pleased with the quality and longevity of this simple dispenser.We have been using this as a dish soap dispenser for 14 years. We could not be more pleased. It is well-built and simple to use, fill, and service (see below).I have had to replace the pump mechanism two times over 14 years. The pump mechanism is readily available and replacement is a simple 5-minute job.

My other alternative was twice the price (a Grohe) soap dispenser. It seems like a useless expense to spend so much on a soap dispenser, however having one that is installed on the sink does eliminate some clutter on the sink surface. The dispenser was easy to install, the instructions and pictures clear. It didn't take me long to install and the quality is pretty good on this Kohler. I bought an expensive KWC brushed stainless kitchen faucet, and the finish on this dispenser matches with it perfectly. My only problem with this is that it is hard to push to pump the soap, maybe because the dispenser is too new.I also like this because of it's smaller sleek design. Who wants their dispenser to stand out? The nozzle is also shorter, so as not to stick out all the way to the sink and not get in the way of things.

When our house was rebuilt in 2006 I installed 2 of these dispensers. Time wears out all things so we ordered 2 more, and were please that Kohler still made the device.To fill the reservoir, simply lift the pump from the device and fill the exposed unit. Be careful because it's easy to overfill or to fill too quickly and cause a bubble to block the incoming product. That can create a small mess.I also installed these in our rental units.Good product!

I replaced a Grohe part with this. The Grohe was expensive and yet it kept falling apart. Every time it fell apart it dumped the entire soap contents under the sink: not nice.The Kohler is affordable, attractive, easy and quick to install. Simple to fill and use. This is a keeper.
