A good gadget to help prevent the spread of germs.

This is the latest Touch-Free soap dispenser from Simple Human. With a really bad flu session upon us, there’s whole new awareness of washing hands often to get rid of germs. That’s why this gizmo could be a welcome addition to your kitchen or bathroom. If you have trouble getting your kids to wash their hands, having this “magic” gadget will most likely have them washing their hands often. Simply place your hand under the sensor and it will dispense a measured amount of soap automatically and stop. An LED display lights up when the sensor is activated. By pressing a button on the unit you can select any of the four volume settings that allow the pump to dispense preset amounts of soap or lotion. I’m using Dial Antibacterial Liquid Soap and I found the lowest setting works best. You can use it to dispense hand soap by the bathroom sink or dishwashing soap by a kitchen sink. It can also be used to dispense hand lotion or hand sanitizer. But it’s not recommended for very thin liquids or exfoliants. It operates on 4 AA batteries, which are not included. Right now it’s available only on the Simple Human website, but it will be available in stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond soon. Price is $29.95 on the website, but that might be less when it’s in retail.

When they said this was "new" they must have meant "new version" (maybe why the -2 is in the URL) My in-laws got us a Simple Human soap dispenser for Christmas last year, and I absolutely love it. They've had their's for at least a year and a half, maybe 2 years. It's great in the kitchen, especially when you are working with raw meat. No need to touch spread the junk on your hands to the soap dispenser.

I just saw these at my local Costco in a 2-pack....don't recall the exact price, but I'm guessing around $35. Anyway, I instantly remembered this GizWiz episode when I saw products. Thanks, Dick!
