Multiple capacity options: There are a variety of capacity specifications to choose from, and you can choose the appropriate capacity according to the frequency of use and the number of people, reducing the trouble of frequent liquid addition.
Disadvantages:
Hygiene hazards: You need to press it with your hands when using it. When your hands are not clean or have bacteria, it is easy to contaminate the pressing part of the Soap Dispenser, which may cause bacteria to spread between users.
Inconvenient to use: Manual operation is required every time it is used. It may be difficult for people with hand injuries, disabilities or mobility difficulties to use it. And if both hands are holding something, you need to put it down before pressing to get the liquid, which is not very convenient.

Disadvantages:
High price: Because it contains more complex components such as electronic components and sensors, the manufacturing cost is high, so the price is relatively expensive.
Energy consumption problem: It needs to be powered by a power supply, generally using batteries or connecting a power adapter. If batteries are used, they need to be replaced regularly, which increases the cost of use; if a power adapter is connected, the location of the power socket needs to be considered during installation, which may be restricted by wiring.
Susceptible to interference: It is easily affected by environmental factors such as light, temperature, humidity, etc., and may cause false induction or insensitive induction.
