Why is it a good deal?

This is the lowest price we've seen for this gadget since August. For $8 you save on the amount of dish soap you'd normally use, cutting down on that grocery bill. Plus. keeping the sponge on the dispenser instead of in the sink — which studies have shown is the germiest place in your home, including the bathroom — just makes for a whole lot of sense. And a whole lot of cleaner dishes!

Why do I need this?

Rather than leaving your sad little sponge sitting wet in the sink, let it rest on this handy dispenser. When you need it, simply press it to pump suds up to your scrubber. This brings an end to your daily fumble with that cumbersome, slippery dish soap bottle once and for all.

What reviewers say:

If you think we sound excited, there are 19,000-plus five-star Amazon reviewers who've tried and loved it. Loads of reviewers call it a "must have," "a game changer" and a "kitchen essential." But one deadpan fan framed their adoration a bit differently: "Makes washing dishes less annoying." Isn't that the main goal here, people?

"Is this a kitchen necessity?" they continued, "No. Does it make dishwashing much easier? Yes...Not having to constantly re-apply soap to my sponge via the bottle is a convenience I appreciate! Just a little push down and bam, soaped up. Also, having a good spot to keep my sponge between uses so it doesn’t get lost in dirty dishes or water all over the counter is quite wonderful! I highly recommend this product!!"

"I have arthritis and it is hard for me to hold a regular dish soap bottle," wrote a five-star reviewer. "This soap dispenser has made it so much easier for me!"

A very grateful fan, who included photos, wrote: "I love this product and ordered a second one for my mom. The ability to load the sponge with soap with one hand is very helpful for her because she has limited use of one hand due to a stroke. The product came with an extra pump, a sponge and the container. It was very easy to assemble and fill. The pump reaches way down to the very bottom of the container assuring it’ll use all of the soap before it needs to be refilled. The sponge is actually very cool because it causes the soap to get really sudsy."

"You do need to take it apart and clean it occasionally as it can get a little moldy on the undersides," revealed one, "but that is pretty much expected for anything that stays wet continuously...Highly recommend this product for anyone who appreciates an ergonomic dishwashing experience."

It's not just for your kitchen at home, either.

"Where was this when my boys were little?" wrote a five-star fan, "Total game changer. It has saved me so much dish liquid in the last 3 to 4 months my first one was in the kitchen that I am adding one to the bathroom for easy cleanup and if I had a laundry room I would add as well as a quick spot clean station good job."

Another who bought a second one wrote: "It was inexpensive enough to buy for the office which has a tight kitchen space. It avoids having to have both a sponge tray and the soap bottle."

Spend less time doing dishes and more time doing anything else!
