An automatic soap dispenser for the bathroom is incredibly practical and doesn’t have to be expensive at all. At home, we used a Xiaomi dispenser, but it had a major downside: you had to keep replacing the AA batteries. Even worse was refilling the soap—it was designed for single use, and removing the lid was a hassle; the lid often broke – it was basically a marketing gimmick. This cheap alternative, however, solves all the problems of the Xiaomi dispenser!
Three colors, version with foam or liquid dispensing
On the AliExpress marketplace, you can get an automatic soap dispenser for an excellent price. Delivery from China takes about 10 – 15 business days and the price includes VAT and also customs duty (Choice product). Read also our own experience below.

Recommended by a lot of our fans too!
On our China Planet Facebook page, people regularly post their experiences with products, so be sure to join in too. A bunch of readers have already ordered the product and really like it. Of course, between the comments, we also found some negative feedback—Milan’s unit broke after 3 weeks. That can happen with cheap China-made products, but it’s easy to claim.
We use this dispenser ourselves for more than a year and it works very reliably! We’ve charged it about 3–4 times and the battery life is very decent. The biggest plus is that you don’t have to replace any alkaline batteries—just plug in the USB-C cable.
New grey version
On the AliExpress marketplace, we found the newest grey (or light grey) version of the dispenser—it looks really great. It’s a bit more expensive, but it’s worth it for the look. Below, you can also see a real photo from reviews.
Original article from April 2024:
We ordered the dispenser for testing—it’s great
Since we were previously using a Xiaomi battery-powered dispenser, which started to bother us, we decided to order this much cheaper dispenser from AliExpress—and we really did a good job. It dispenses soap in four modes, so users just need to set that parameter.
The biggest highlight is definitely USB-C charging and the practical way to refill the soap. Just unscrew the top part of the body and pour in the soap with water! With the Xiaomi dispenser, it doesn’t work like this: there you basically have to pry off the paste-like lid from the soap container.
The Xiaomi dispenser also had a problem with the tubing getting clogged, which disabled the whole device. We’ll see how long this automatic dispenser lasts, but in the box there’s also a container intended to solve this issue, so we expect it to last a long time.
Saves soap and it’s practical
This cheap automatic soap dispenser for the sensor, designed for touchless use, has a 380 ml capacity and also supports USB-C charging. For us, its biggest value is simply how easy it is to refill. Just unscrew the top part from the threads, then refill with soap and mix it with water.
We recommend filling the container with soap up to one third, and then dilute the rest with water. These dispensers need thinner soap so they can foam well. As a result, you save a lot of soap because it’s diluted—so it’s very practical, but also an economical helper.
