I am not saying that the deal is not good. In fact, the deal is really good considering that the price is much lower than the MRP.

But, do I really need Tech in my soap? What next? Digital A$$ wipes??

There u have it
 
Am already using it and have to say, its quite convinient not to mention hygenic. And it looks and feels quite up-market as well. But the soap usage will be high as it dispenses almost double the amount of soap I would normally use.
 
I don't do this because i'm a cheapskate (well, maybe a little), but i find regular handwashes to be too thick. They then take a fair bit of work to lather into foam. What i do is pre-dilute my handwash (maybe 25-50% depending on brand) and pour it into the dispenser. It dispenses very quickly and also lathers up very fast. Now if this high-tech dispenser uses a standard kind of openable refill, you can just dilute it a bit and save on refill costs. Btw, i use certain lifebouy brands, can't stand the original dettol smell.

But seriously, 450 bucks for getting soap onto your hands? not to mention changing batteries etc.

This Right Amount is a bit dubious.

I really think the reg dispensers do waste a bit of the liquid soap, and with this one you cannot control the amount released.

Ofc only thing one can do is to dilute the liquid soap with water, but getting the right mix and keep doing everytime is gonna be tedious.

Hygenic .. yes.. but not ground breaking as current system is fine if u use it properly.
 
Lol, you seen how much toothpaste they use in the adverts?

As i said earlier i dilute my handwash even with my old-fashioned dispenser because according to a friend, i have an 'efficiency OCD' !

So you press on the dispenser button, and the thick, gooey soap takes an eternity to fall into your palm. And you have to confirm if it's actually in your hand before you move to the faucet or sometimes you'll move early and the drop will actually fall on to the sink. Then you have to work up a lather, which is another 'time-consuming' affair. With my pre-dilute[sup]TM[/sup] method, it's in your palm in a flash, and lathering up nicely in another. Hmm, maybe i should tie-up with telebrands. Also, it doesn't matter how much you dilute, it can be a little or a little more, you'll still get about the same amount of lather. Proves how ad/mark people try and rip you off to the max! I usually empty my refill packs into a bottle, add some water, shake it up and store it in the cupboard. Pour into the dispenser periodically. Quick and easy.

About the hygiene factor, just wash the damn dispenser every week or so, with the dispensed soap!

^^ I hope you do realize that the refill for that non-essential tech soap gadget costs Rs. 99/- or something like that! That is a whopping ~ 185% more than what the normal handwash refill costs!

Since you 'volunteered' to test this product for us, we'll wait for you to let us know if the refill bottle itself can be refilled!

This thread is an interesting study in consumer psychology. The manufacturer marketed the already overpriced product with a Rs. 300 off tag. One of the oldest tricks in the book. A pre-markup. But the best part is the additional 100 bucks off via the snapdeal coupon made this simply irresistible to some. Of course, 320 bucks isn't that much. My weekly pizza budget...

Edit: Aah, welcome Mr. Krishnan, I see we have 2 official testers now!
