My Honest Review of the Xiaomi Mijia Automatic Foam Soap Dispenser: Is It Worth the Hype?
Hello everyone!
The Xiaomi Mijia Automatic Foam Soap Dispenser is a game-changer in our household. I actually bought one after seeing it at a friend's place, and now our whole family has them (my partner, my parents, and my grandparents)! It's a great product that's surprisingly easy to use and maintain.
I bought this product from Ozon for 1000 rubles, and I'm so glad I did. The product description is spot on - it's a game-changer with its infrared sensor, which means you don't even need to press a button to get soap out. Just wave your hand, and it dispenses the perfect amount.
The dispenser is tiny, so it's easy to find a spot on your countertop or sink ledge. It's also really lightweight and sturdy, and it sits perfectly on the edge of the sink against the wall. It runs on four AA batteries, which should last around six months even with the whole family using it.
The LED light indicator tells you when the batteries are running low and when there's soap in the container. I love that the reservoir is transparent - it makes it super easy to tell when the soap is getting low.
I've been using this dispenser for six months now, and it's been a game-changer. It works flawlessly, responding quickly as soon as you approach it with your hand. But what's a bit annoying is that if you accidentally touch the sensor area with your hand, it'll dispense a full dose of soap - whether you want it or not.
Refilling the empty bottle from the Xiaomi dispenser is a bit of a process. You'll need to carefully pry it open with a kitchen knife - there are plenty of YouTube videos out there that show you how to do it quickly and easily. It takes about a minute to open, refill, and close it. But, honestly, I wish they'd made it easier and faster to open without needing a separate tool.
My husband and I really like the dispenser, the key is to get a good concentrated soap to refill it with. It's super convenient to use, especially when your hands are dirty, and it minimizes the soap suds that form when using regular liquid soap in a standard dispenser.
But, there's a major downside! The batteries drain really quickly - we went through 4 of them in just 6 months of continuous use, and we had to replace them every 2 months. I think that's too often. Now that the batteries are running out again, I'm not as excited to use the dispenser. When this happens, the dispenser lights up with a red-orange glow, and it's just a hassle.
We've learned our lesson - it's just too much hassle. I highly recommend this product, but only if you're willing to deal with the battery issues. If you're looking for a hassle-free experience, you might want to consider a different option.
Overall, I'm giving the Xiaomi Mijia Automatic Foam Soap Dispenser 4 out of 5 stars. It's a great product that's easy to use and maintain, but the battery issues are a major drawback. I hope this review was helpful!
