Can this dispenser hold up to daily use? I'm considering it as a laundry dispenser so the liquid would be different than water.

That is a great idea! I don't use it daily.. but I've used it frequently since I've had it (about a month) and haven't noticed any extreme wear on the dispenser part. The spout does poor at an OK pace for sweet tea.. it might be fairly slow for liquid detergent though. In other reviews I saw a lot of folks mentioned they replaced the dispenser to a 100% metal version which could work for you!

I believe it would work fine but I really can't say for sure because I don't know the thickness of your laundry soap.

I would say no. The glass is very thin and fragile. Mine cracked after 4 uses and I was being very careful with it. It is unfortunate because I really liked it.

I seriously doubt it. The spigot is not that durable and I don't think it would last very long, we didn't get much use out of ours with just ice tea and fruit water.

I used mine pretty hard for kombucha, and it held up very well in the 6 months I've owned it. However, beware that the spigot is plastic with rubber (or synthetic rubber-like?) gaskets.

What a great idea! I think the glass of course would be great for holding laundry detergent. that being said, I'm hesitant to recommend this dispenser for laundry detergent. I don't know if the detergent would be too thick for the spigot and cause clogging. Also the spigot is not stainless and I'm not sure how well it would hold up to constant exposure to the detergent. You could always buy a stainless spigot replacement if it was a problem, but still not sure about a thicker liquid clogging it.

I know it keeps for at least a few months, probably longer. The key is to keep the tips clean. As long as the two components don't mix they should last a long time. One tip...after dispensing, pull back slightly on the plunger so you have a small bubble. This will help prevent the components from squirting out when you use it again.

Yes, I use ordinary liquid dish detergent in mine all the time. A couple of times I found that it had all came out overnight or whenever as reported by others BUT I discovered that the dispenser spout was obscured by caked on soap. As soon as I cleaned it off, it worked like new. I am very happy with it

I never spilled anything on it but can't imagine it would hold up. The on off switch isn't the best and sometimes needs to be messed with. Other than that it works nicely.

I have never used ours for anything but water. However, I have no reason to think it would react with laundry soap. Alternatively, you might find a used liquid detergent container with a spigot.

I use it as a hair dryer and brush holder in my bathroom. So it goes through a beating on a daily basis. I have had this for quite a while and it as not bent and the paint has not chipped.

soap dispenser is about a year old and no problems. I recharged mine it holds a Charge well. I have mine on the sink

It is produced as a liquid soap dispenser, so the consistency of the liquid is really the issue. If you used something more water-like in viscosity, the pump might not work as well. You wouldn't know until you tried it. Of course, if the liquid shampoo or conditioner or other types of liquid soap used were of a very high viscosity (more like molasses), then the pump might clog. We had a kitchen liquid soap dispenser where we had this problem - we bought liquid soap we thought the pump would use, but it was too viscous and the pump did not work correctly. I'm sure this applies to the pump in this product.

I'm not sure I would, because mine is coming apart without that. But if it were undamaged, it might hold up through a wash cycle.

We like to clean it everyday.but I guess if you put it in the fridge I don't see why it can't hold another day. But in general I would recommend cleaning aofter you finishing using it.

without me seeing the lid i can only say we use ours for sugar and have not had any issues like you describe.... i would use it only if the corrosion is not flaking off into the jar...have you tried cleaning it really well and then let it dry completely?...are all 10 dispensers having the same problem?....if so,you can always contact the seller and ask for replacements......good luck to you.

Possibly. There's not a lot of moving parts. I bought it to fix a leak. But if the seal is worn., it might also prevent it from pumping. Sure beats a new dispenser.

. . . no, I do not think this would hold a lot of liquid. I fear that it would leak in a tremendous way. Not that it cannot handle heavy periods, but that is a slow consistent flow.

I don't think the unit would handle liquids well. Probably make a big mess.

I picked one of these up a few months ago, if you do 1 dispense per day it will hold 28 days. If you do 4 per day it will only get a week. Hope this helps, a good buy for the money compared to the more expensive models.

Don't know for sure - but seems better suited for liquids bssed on the way it dispenses.

I agree with the previous responders. The faucet may not be durable enough to withstand frequent, daily use and doesn't have the qualities I would be most likely to look for in a kitchen faucet: a head that will provide a strong flow, a sprayer and the ability to swivel. I would not recommend this for a kitchen.
