This item is great. It holds shampoo and conditioner, or whatever liquids you need in the shower, and also has a handy basket that I use to keep the shower spray cleaner and my shaving cream. The handy hooks hold my razor and my washcloth. Really cuts down on the clutter and puts everything in one place. However, I had to buy this item from another vendor because Amazon kept delaying shipment. After the delays had exceeded a month, I finally cancelled my order and went elsewhere. Good product, bad transaction.

I have constantly had to replace the pump in my triple dispensers. I have 4 of tem in my home and as soon as I get one replaced another fails. The company has been good about replacing parts but they are located in Canada and it never repairs quite the same as the initial.

Installation is easy if you keep the (included) silicone off the double-sided tape. But... get the tape "wet" with the silicone (woops, I did this) and you'll have to prop the system up to keep them in place while the silicone dries. I have an adjustable ladder that did the trick nicely while things set up overnight. The apparatus has been rock solidly-attached to the wall for about a month now. The tray is sufficiently sized to hold stuff equivalent in size to about 5 or so cans of shaving cream, or one and a few tubes of misc. shower goops. The hooks underneath can double as "scrubby-puff-ball" hangers and razor cradles @ the same time.

Each "pump" is a bit judicious with the amount that is dispensed - so they do cut down on product waste. I would get these again for a new bath/shower.

This is a replacement for an identical unit previously purchased several years ago. We have loved the unit. It saves on shampoo, etc. The dispensers work well and do not drip. The reason we replaced the unit is after several years the soaps and stuff kept in the basket eventually broke down the chrome and the steel wire in the basket began to rust. I do not know if the painted version will last longer or less long. Even after several years the dispensers are still good. We have mounted the replacement unit in the original position in the shower. Then we re-mounted the original dispensers independently without the basket. I get one for my shampoo and my wife gets three for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. The dispensers put out relatively small amounts of product. I press the button 4 times for the amount of shampoo I want to wash my hair. This is not a problem. I would rather have too little on one push than too much.

Have had this item installed for about 1 year and the dispensers work great.

The "chrome plated basket" is full of rust. This is installed almost at eye level in a shower and it does not receive any direct water spray, so I am very disappointed with the durability.

Unfortunately the whole unit will need to be removed in order to just use the dispensers.

This thing definately looks bigger in photography. When i got the thing, i was like, "this is small." But the assembly is pretty easy, and the produce looks sharp. The container squeezes very little per push. I have to squeeze like 13 times just to wash my hair.

Shipping was a little slow compared to the commonality of today's next day shipping expectation (I think it took 2 weeks to show up at my door, and I rc'd no interim e-mails telling me about the shipping status).

I really like this product, installation was fast, in addition to the 2-way tape and silicone seal/glue, I also added the screws. It's really solid and holds a lot of bottles-round bottle go at both ends of the basket and oval shaped bottles in the middle--perfit fit, ours racks two round bottles and three oval shaped bottles.

I read about the difficulty with priming the pump, so I started with 1/4" of water and it primed immediately, then I added the shampoo and conditioner on top of 1/4" of water--works great and I'll always want/need to have of these. It totally de-cluttered our shower.

This dispenser started to leak. Thought I solved the problem by adjusting the spring. This solution did not last. Took the item and threw it in the trash. Never again.

I really like this dispenser with basket. It is very sturdy and well constructed. The installation was very easy and the containers hold a decent amount of shampoo/conditioner.

This pump/shelf system was great at first but now less than i year later the shelf has almost rusted through. I thought this would be a somewhat permanent fixture in the shower and definitely did not expect to have to replace it yearly. We have a large, tile shower and the thing never even gets very wet. Disappointing for the amount of money spent. On the flip side, the pumps are OK. I have shoulder length hair, not too thick, and I have to pump 4 times for enough shampoo and 6 times for conditioner. Not what I expected but I have not had any problems with the pump.
