KRAUS Kitchen Soap and Lotion Dispenser in Matte Black, KSD-41MB

My first 'built in' soap dispenser was a much cheaper one. I didn't think it made any difference, really, but I was wrong. The cheaper version was plastic and while you really couldn't tell by looking at it, when I compare this Kraus to the cheaper version, I very much can tell the difference in quality and in looks. The cheaper version sometimes shot soap across the sink instead of delivering the soap in a normal regular 'stream' - with the other version sometimes soap would end up on my shirt, while this Krause has a tighter pump to it so I feel the pressure as I press down, and then the soap comes out more controlled. The Kraus pump, as I mentioned above, has a tighter feel to it while the cheaper version I sometimes had to pump a few times as it had a more loose feel or pump. The cheaper version did last 3 years before it quit working, but I am hoping this Kraus will last for years and I expect it to with normal every day use. The Kraus looks so much better than the cheaper version - it's understated - the design also goes well with my simple matte black faucet (wish I'd bought a Kraus faucet now that I know how well made this soap dispenser is!). It has a smaller profile than the cheaper version so it's not taking up much space but also just looks more streamlined. The slim spout looks as if soap will shoot straight out but it doesn't. This Kraus has metal parts versus the cheaper version was all plastic. This Kraus dispenser is heavy and sturdy. The only negative is the bottle where the soap goes is smaller than the cheaper version I had so I'll have to refill it often. But it can be refilled from the top. The bottle did have a washer so that's another nice touch. Be sure to put the washer that comes with the dispenser under the sink - at least that's where I put mine since having it on the countertop pushes the dispenser too high--I don't know if this came with instructions - I need to go check the box again, but it's super easy to install without instructions. Comes securely packaged in the brand's box and not in a plastic bag. I am happy with my order.

Good looking. Great price. Quality product!! I had to replace my old one after 9 years bc it stopped pumping. No instructions but easy to install. Be sure to push down and lock into place with a twist. Secure and works great!!

A very nice, high end appearance and solid weight/operation that goes great with our brushed nickel fixtures from other brands, and costs significantly less. We’ve been using this for 6 years at least a dozen times a day as our kitchen hand soap dispenser. In that time we’ve seen zero deterioration of the finish, rust or clogging. Soap capacity is fine, requiring filling roughly every 3 weeks with that amount of use. While you can do it from above, it’s hard to see how full it’s gotten and easy to overfill if you rush. Go slow and give thick soaps a chance to settle is our advice. And maybe shine a flashlight in there. Only issue was at one point we noticed the pump had gotten bouncy, sat higher than normal and frequently required us to reattach the metal nut that holds the compressed spring in place (very challenging). After taking a closer look at the manual, realized that the white plastic nut that holds the metal nut/spring compressed and in place had gone missing. Called Kraus hoping to just buy a replacement plastic nut. Instead, after seeing a photo and our Amazon receipt, they sent us a brand new entire fixture—despite being 5y out of the official warranty. Wow. Just earned a customer for life.

I bought this really nice Kraus soap dispenser to replace one in which the plastic soap bottle broke off after 4 years. But the soap bottle + below counter attachments were long and couldn’t be installed because of my plumbing. After some quick research I found this product, got it the same day and installed it fairly quickly: https://a.co/d/eY3OThS It lets me keep the Kraus quality soap pump I love, makes it easy to refill and eliminates the previous failure mode. Can’t ask for much more than that!

Great quality. Matches perfectly with my Kohler matte back faucet. Same style too.

Like other KRAUS products looks good and works better than most

Outstanding quality, perfect finish. Worth the money with no regrets!

The threaded piece where the metal nut goes under the sink is plastic; still it was a good experience but DO NOT USE a tool to tighten it of you may ruin the threads on that same plastic threaded pipe: just tighten it with your hand to the top spout - you can try hard on that - then put the rubber washer on it, drop in place and go under the sink to put the metal nut - use your hands and all will be fine. Your spouse must hold the spout from above so you can tighten the nut. When it's in place, throw away the bottle in the garbage - yes, throw that puny thing away unless you love refilling it - and install this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095Y936D6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Priming it is another "procedure" ... once you have the long tube in place, do like you would do to syphon gas from a tank.. when you can see the soap very close, you are done. Just finish the installation of the long tube. It will dispense smaller amounts of soap, not like the store bought gallon, but enough. It fits quite good on a metal sink. The shaft threaded piece is 1 1/8 diameter, so plan accordingly. *** Updates... stopped working after 6 months I had to re-prime the long tube. For now we just stuffed a hand pump on a container inside the sink we will probably move on. Is there any direction to dilute the soap ??????? Seems there was a build up of soap in the silicone hose. The pump worked again after the cleanup and soap dillution. Rating upgraded.

Los materiales se sienten de excelente calidad, lo probé antes de instalarlo y funciona perfectamente, el popote no es de plástico, parece como vidrio y se siente grueso, espero no se quiebre en el futuro. El contenedor tiene una capacidad de 360ml. Actualizare cuando lo instale en la cocina.

It was what I did expected.

Sturdy and beautiful nose long enough to go over sinks ledge does give a lot of soap, so press lightly if that is not what you want hightly recommend

High quality. Easy assembly

The quality of this dispenser seems solid, the bottle is a good size and the black matte is nice.
