germs beware: simplehuman introduces $30 sensor soap pump

Adding to its already successful line of sensor activated soap pumps for the home, today simplehuman introduced its newest sensor soap pump priced at $30. Using sensor technology to dispense soap touch-free, the new sensor soap pump allows you to wash your hands without losing your shirt. 

“We’ve always believed there is a place for sensor technology in the home, but it’s been really rewarding to see how people are using our sensor soap pumps to help prevent illness,” says simplehuman CEO and Design Director, Frank Yang..  With this addition, we have models at various price points and we hope to have even more options in the future.”

All of the sensor soap pumps from simplehuman use state-of-the-art technology to dispense soap quickly and easily. Simply place your hand underneath the spout to automatically dispense soap. The entire process is touch-free, preventing cross-contamination from dirty or wet hands.

The newest sensor soap pump has a pop-up lid with a wide opening for mess-free refills and adjustable volume so you can control how much soap is dispensed. A small blue LED display flashes when the sensor is activated and blinks when the batteries need to be replaced. The sensor soap pump is engineered to save power, so the four AA batteries should only need replacing once every six months.

The sensor soap pump is available in black or white plastic and retails for $29.99.
