Gadget Tree: Soap-O-Matic
Doesn’t it drive you crazy when you are cooking and your hands are completely covered in, say, raw chicken juice, and you need to wash your hands but you don’t want to contaminate the soap dispenser?
This new Sensor Soap Dispenser is really cool because you just put your hand underneath it and the soap (or sanitizer or lotion) comes out automatically. These things have been around for a while, but I like this one because it has a really wide top for filling and a light comes on when it needs to be refilled. It also has a little button on it so you can control how much soap/sanitizer/lotion is dispensed.
It is made by simplehuman, the folks that make those really cool stainless trash cans (although they are making them in blue, pink, green, white and red now).
