Does anyone have a grohe soap dispenser 28857. It's a good match for my faucet but I have read some very bad reviews. Any experience with grohe dispensers?

I have it bought it to match my grohe ladylux 3 faucet, but haven't installed it yet. What are the negative reviews? It seems to pump no problem.

We have that one. It works very well for us. Ours is hooked up to the Never M-T. DH had to "prime" the tube by dribbling dish soap (we use Palmolive) down the top end of the tubing, but after that it pumped soap from the bottle just fine.

Just now seeing this, so I hope it's not too late to add to it. I use hand soap in mine & the kids Love it! I have a pullout drawer in front of my sink & I hide the dish soap in there. In my kitchen the hand soap really gets used the most because my kids like to help with cooking & baking and they have to wash their hands before even opening frig to get a drink or a snack out of the snack drawer, so this makes it very convenient for them!

Google the "NeverMT" or "Never MT". But some people love them, and some people have not liked them at all. So it's a mixed bag. I find it's not that hard to refill my soap dispenser, which lifts from the top and you just pour in the soap, takes a minute, so I opted not to buy a NeverMT. If your soap dispenser is the kind where you have to go underneath the sink to fill it, it would be worthwhile to install the NeverMT.

We have 2 different soap dispensers in 2 homes both Moen and both in spot resistance stainless. The second one isn't installed yet but wanted one that protruded out further in this particluar sink area. One is 84.00 and the other is 117.00 on Amazon. Soap Dispenser 2 Soap Dispenser

"I ask because most people I know think it’s a good idea until they have to refill it. It’s a pain reaching behind the sink to unscrew it, sometimes requiring emptying the sink cabinet" What year are you in? Soap dispensers have been made to fill from the top for 20 years. They're not "fancier", that is how they are made. It takes a minute to fill them. Really, in my house 20 years ago, my in-counter soap dispenser filled from the top. And it's much better than the drippy sticky cloudy counter soap bottle that falls over when it gets below half-filled. To the OP - I initially was going to recommend you install the soap dispenser with a hole in the countertop, not in the stainless steel edge. But editing this post after I thought it over - you want the dispenser pump stem to have reach into the sink. If the dispenser is installed too far from the sink edge, you might not be able to get a pan or dish under the soap dispenser to pump soap onto it, or the soap could drip on the counter rather than into the sink. So ensure that the hole for the soap dispenser is close enough to the sink edge that the pump has good reach into the sink.

Are any of the other Grohe dispensers considered to be better? I need to get one too and was probably going to get this one!

This is what I read, several of the same negative comments:
The biggest problems occur when you fill the dispenser. If you fill it more than about half-way, there is a significant probability that the weight of the dispenser will cause it to fall off the (poorly-designed) assembly. If it doesn't fall off and you continue to fill it, the soap/lotion can overflow from the bottle underneath the sink onto the insides of the cabinet. Then you have a real mess to clean up. I just can't imagine that a major manufacturer would not discover these problems before putting this item on the market

Oh No, that's not good! I'm hoping that mine doesn't have any of these problems. I don't want to have to return it as they charge a restocking fee and I'm not sure they would consider that a defect even though it should be. You would think they would do tests on these products.

Well, I was thinking of ordering the Never-MT. So maybe this won't be a problem anyway!

Do the other Grohe dispensers have the same problem?
