LibmanSoap Dispenser W/Brush, 1

***Update: it's been four months now, we have only had to replace a head once every thirty days, and still no leaks. It's as good as it was the day we received it. No other wand made it this long.Original review: Finally!! We have used every name brand, store brand, off brand, and dollar store brand of dish wands with sponge ends that have ever been invented. They all stink. Why is it so hard in this day and age to make these so that the handles or sponge ends don’t leak soap, the seal for where you pour soap in doesn’t break or lose it’s seal after a week, and the sponges don’t pull away from the back attachment or crumble to pieces if you look at it wrong? I’m no manufacturer, but sheesh...is it really that hard? C’mon, if it is price point that makes them cut corners with quality of materials, then add $5 to the price and give me something that will last more than a few weeks! What a waste of money and resources, and while adding more garbage to our landfills, all so they can make an extra penny on re-purchases? I don’t think I have ever seen anyone calmly grab one of these off the shelf, but rather suddenly come storming up the aisle with a snarl while ripping it off the hook and slamming it into their carts. And all of us nearby purse our lips and nod, understanding the feeling perfectly. Thats right, girl, give ‘em hell. Everybody everywhere hates how badly made these are, but the manufacturers refuse to listen. They want us to have to buy one again. But then....enter Libman...skies clear, clouds part, sunshine falls on our faces, and I think I heard an angel sing...Wallah, good old American made. A bit more expensive, but not ridiculously so the way some American-made pricing is. It already has lasted longer than the last name brand ones we bought. Sponge is holding up. Nothing is leaking. Gosh i hope the handle and the soap hole seal never leak, but so far so good. We went from refilling the stupid handles every day because the previous day’s leaked a pool all over bottom of sink, to filling the Libman brand twice since we bought it a few months ago!We also like the little brush on the tip. I didn’t think i would, but surprisingly I use it for something every day. Good angle and nice design.**walks away flipping her hair, hand on hips twirling the Libman wand ... they have her business for life. That’s how it’s done.

I had no trouble with the flow of soap. However, the green sponge almost immediately got mangled when I washed my average-sharpness knives. Then, within 2 weeks, the sponge has begun to turn black. I have never had this occur with any other product like this, and I've been using dish wands like this for 30yrs. I'm disappointed because I have a separate Libman dish brush that I love and I had hoped to get 2 in 1. Just did not work for me.

Have been using one from the dollar store but decided to purchase this one because of the Libman name...will remember the quality of their newer products isn't up to par. I discovered very little soap comes out the bottom of the sponge but lots comes out of the top. Very discouraging. I need to put quite a bit of pressure on it to get any soap through the sponge. Going back to using the the dollar store one...at least the soap dispersed where it should without a struggle.

After a few weeks, this wand is leaking soap like most others.The best wand I've found so far is this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FFJ4FEI/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3FYDS5DU8MFSK&colid=CXIBFQ29Q0UN&psc=0

There is a hole in the sponge head about the size of a pencil eraser. But the only hole I found on the wand itself was the size of a pinhead. No soap came out. Also the replacement heads will be expensive if you want to get that scrubber on it, as that isn't part of the wand. So once you need to replace the sponge, the scrubber goes with it! Waste of money. I returned it.
