This review is from: Better Living AVIVA TRIO Dispenser, White (Health and Beauty)
I ordered two of these. One works great, no problems, easy to install. The other drips from the middle chamber, whatever I put in it leaks out within an hour. I'm returning it to amazon for an exchange right now.
I'd suggest that if you order these, be smarter than I was, Before you stick it to your wall, fill all three chambers with water, eject some water out and watch it and make sure it doesn't drip from any chamber. Do this BEFORE you fill it with any bath products and BEFORE you stick it to your wall - otherwise you lose a lot of bath product and have to figure out how to remove silicone glue from your shower walls. I just hope that amazon will send me a new one.

Works as advertised; easy to install, March 11, 2007
This review is from: Better Living AVIVA TRIO Dispenser, White (Health and Beauty)
This triple-canister wall hanging shower-fluid dispenser works just as well as the more expensive options and is easy to install. We purchased one for each of our showers in our home. They installed easily with the included adhesive so that you don't have to poke holes in anything. The one thing you need to be aware of is that the adhesive needs 24 hours to cure, so time your installation between showers or plan on taking a shower in a different shower. You can then choose from among the included labels to indicate what is in each canister. We have Shampoo, Conditioner, & Shower Gel.
They work by dispensing a preset amount of fluid each time the button under the canister is depressed. The amount of shampoo dispensed in one push is perfect for my head (I have short hair); whereas, my wife will have to push it 2 or 3 times. This will probably end up saving us money in the long run since I always had a tendency to waste shampoo by squirting too much out of the bottle.
They have been installed for two months now without any complaints.

The best I've used, October 15, 2008
I recently redone my bathroom and needed a new caddy to replace the seven year old LiquiCaddy which had served me well but I wanted a new one to go with the new bathroom. My first choice was a Zenith brand which, long story short, was a $15 pile of garbage. The spouts continuously leaked around their seal and after emailing them for support, the replacements leaked as well (product defect?) so I returned it to the store.
After not being able to find any more soap dispensers at any of the stores in my area, I decided to search online. Amazon has a daunting number of dispensers to choose from but this one caught my attention for two reasons, the price and the high rating in which customers had given it. After reading a few reviews I decided to place my order. I decided to purchase two, one for when we finish our other bathroom and plus that would qualify me for super saver shipping.
Oops, I mistakenly ordered the chrome finish instead of the white. I figured this would cause problems but I cancelled my order anyway and placed a new order for the white dispenser. Sure enough, canceling the first order was simple and painless, way to go Amazon!
Fast-forward a few days later and my dispensers had arrived. The dispensers were very neatly packed and upon inspection had no physical defects. I took the first dispenser out and began reading over the instructions, which were highly detailed. I first took the bracket off the back of the dispenser and attached it to the wall with the double-sided tape and silicon glue. I then took the dispenser itself and filled it with water to see if it suffered from leaks, as did the Zenith dispenser. I let it set for about four hours with the water in it and every drop had stayed inside the chambers.
The instructions stated to let the glue dry 24 hours before mounting the dispenser on the bracket or exposing it to water. Being that I currently only have one working bathroom, I had to use the shower before the glue had even set 12 hours. Luckily, I had decided to mount the dispenser in the back of the shower and not directly underneath the showerhead itself, so that's something I recommend anyone installing this system consider.
After allowing the glue to set 24 hours (it was actually about 30 hours) I was ready to mount the dispenser! It was really quite simple, as all there was to do was slide the dispenser down over the bracket, fill it with liquids, and then pop on the lid. That was it! That night I was using my brand new dispenser and it performs much better than did my last two. I only have to pump the shampoo and conditioner three times to get the desired amount. On both the LiquiCaddy and Zenith dispensers, I had to pump about 15 times to get the same amount, it's amazing. I do not yet have any body wash in the third chamber so I can't comment on how many pumps it takes.
I highly recommend this product.
