You have to be pretty thoughtless not to thinnk that this product wouldn't be useful in a kitchen. After handeling raw chicken or any meat I prefer not to leave blood on the pump. Yes, I wash my hands afterwards, but leaving raw proteins on the pump so that it can culture into Salmonella or some other type of bacterium is really not smart. I got tired of washing or trying to remember to wash the pump eveyrtime. Try thinking ahead a little and being more creative.

this is a good product and want to buy 4 of them, just a question I know it works with 4AAA batteries, do you know how much it long last (roughly) using it about 10 times a day?

@pokemasterhell And people need germs to help build their immune system. All this avoiding of common-cold level bacteria is just sheltering it so that when something bigger comes around they really have no self-protection. It's just overboard. That's also why whoever owns the sink should just clean it regularly, every week or 2. Spending money on overkill is the purpose of this product outside of foodsafe-required environments, or where the resident people really do have immune deficiencies.

@limegreensquid But the initial touch allows bacteria to spread on the dispenser, and as I said bacteria are mobile so they can SPREAD on to other surfaces besides the dispenser itself, such as the sink. If you leave an item, such as a toothbrush on the sink, it becomes contaminated. Then the toothbrush becomes a mode of transfer, and the mouth becomes the mode of entry, which in turns lead to the infection of the Susceptible Host. The Cycle of Infection. I have a PhD in Medical Anthropology.

...The only purpose it serves is to allow people to be one tiny step lazier, because again, the activity it was marketed for renders the product completely useless. The only positive i can think of is if some people may have such extremely painful arthritis in their hands and fingers that even pushing down a soap pump hurts. That's who their market is. But you know the company is heartless because they'd rather just make more money by marketing to extreme germophobes instead of people in pain.

@pokemasterhell That's why you don't touch the soap dispenser AFTER you've washed your hands. That's why your hands go directly into the water AFTER you've already touched the dispenser! If you're hands are already dirty enough to need washing, a few extra organisms of bacteria isn't going to make things worse once you've already got the soap in your wet hands and begin rubbing'em clean. It's just a hilarious paradox, why would ANYbody who isn't extremely OCD about germs need anything like this?

@limegreensquid But the soap dispenser itself becomes dirty. Germs are mobile prokaryotes, not stationary
Someone would have to be pretty dumb or paranoid to even think of buying something like this for the home. Because what do you do after you touch the dirty pump on the soap dispenser? You WASH your HANDS! No one's just gonna randomly touch a dirty soap pump and then NOT wash their hands! It's a product that renders itself useless DURING the activity it was MADE for. And companies want to take money from people (much more than a regular dispenser costs) hoping on their stupidity and paranoia.
