Comments about Lillian Vernon Sponge Holder / Soap Dispenser:

I have had this soap dispenser/sponge holder for about a year, I use it mostly to hold my sponge, the pump is made of plastic and the top doesn't stay on very well. The pump only gives out a very small ammount of soap, good for hand soap but not dish soap, unfortunately the plastic seems flimsy and I rather not risk it breaking. The sponge container doesn't have drainage, so it needs to be washed often to prevent buildup and contamination. I wouldn't buy it again, the idea behind it is good but it could be of better quality. The base is stable.

Love it!

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Sponge Holder / Soap Dispenser:

Mine is came up defective. The paint jobs on the dispenser runs leaving black residues outside the bottle and looks like dirt. This happens all the time. it could be just this one. The cap of the dispenser also comes off very easy. If not carefull the space for the sponge fills up with water and if leavi it as is it will get a filthy smell. I did not like it and my family agree

Makes a mess

Pros:

Attractive Design, Compact

Cons:

Leaks

Best Uses:

none

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lillian Vernon Sponge Holder / Soap Dispenser:

I bought this because I wanted to make my kitchen look tidier by getting rid of the big bottle of dish soap on the sink and finding a good home for the spong. Well, this dispenser did just the opposite...it leaks out soap and makes a mess. If the sponge holder gets something in it and you have to dump it out, or you have to tilt the dispense a little for any reason, the dispenser leaks out a bunch of soap. It looks nice but I would never shell out [...] for this thing again.

By Sher

A place for the sponge, Attractive Design

Avid Cook

Comments about Lillian Vernon Sponge Holder / Soap Dispenser:

Great price, attractive design, and I love the idea of having the soap & sponge in one place.
The only problem is, the soap leaks from under the cap & runs down the bottle. I like it too much to send it back, so I'll just keep rinsing it off

This product had a problem leaking so badly that the orange soap put in came out green. The metal had turned it that color. I had to throw it out. It is a good product in theory, just not for us in use.
