not for thick sanitizer or soap no sleep mode [SEP] got this to save on my hand soap consumption since the pump soap dispenser dispenses thick liquid that is too much for one use placement and closing the battery compartment was really a struggle but was able to get it the dispenser dispenses products in a quirt spray way so a thick soap or sanitizer will not be able to effectively be dispensed i dilute the hand soap with water as a solution the canister can hold a lot and this is great as the dispenser is not too big nor too small i usually take two dispenses to wash my hands what i do not like about this is it does not have a sleep mode on to conserve battery life it just keeps on with flashing light indicator to conserve battery i have to push the switch button on and off before and after using the dispenser which makes the touch free description not true price point is acceptable
