This Xiaomi automatic soap dispenser is completely splash-proof and made from eco-friendly materials.

Xiaomi Soap Dispenser Review - Function and Use
So how does the Xiaomi soap dispenser work? The white top portion of the soap dispenser has a battery slot on the inside. So you have to flip over the top of the dispenser and add the 4 AAA batteries they ship with the dispenser. Once you’ve added the batteries, you have to attach the top of the dispenser to the bottle of soap. And when you’ve fixed it properly, you are good to go.
- In order to use the Xiaomi Mijia Soap Dispenser, you will have to press the power button on top of the device. Once the Mijia shield symbol lights up, you can use it as long as you require. It will require no other contact of any sort. Once your done using the device, you just need to hit the Mijia Button one more time. When the button emits an organge hue, the device will no longer eject soap.
- When you bring your palm close to the nozzle, the sensor picks up movement and it immediately releases the soap. The Xiaomi soap dispenser will eject soap precisely 0.25 sec after you present your hand.
- The soap does not come in liquid form, but in as a foam. Basically, in order to save the soap solution and effectively use it, the xiaomi dispenser combines a bit of air (around 1/12 of the solution) with the soap in order to form a foam.
- The Xiaomi soap dispenser sends out enough to clean your hands thoroughly once. If you want more soap, you can always go for a second helping. Majority of the time, you'll find that a little bit od soap has accumulated at the nozzle after every use. So unless you don't want to use crusty soap that can cause blockages, use clean wipe napkin to wipe it clean every now and then.
- But, if you think there's too much soap that is being dispensed, there’s nothing you can do about it as you cannot control the amount that is dispensed. You don't need to fret, The soap that the dispenser ejects is actually a highly calculated amount. It's the optimal amount required to thoroughly clean dirt and kill germs.
Based on preliminary tests, you can use the Xiaomi soap dispenser for up to 400 times from one bottle. The Xiaomi soap dispenser refill bottom part can last for about 20 to 30 days depending on the use.
Performance
I love the Xiaomi Soap Dispenser. I've really benefitted from this exceptional device during this pandemic. Coming to the performance, this automatic soap dispenser is absolutely brilliant and efficient. The first thing I did when the pandemic went out of control was to install this beauty at both my house and at the office.
- And after using it for the past 8 months on a regular basis, the performance can be essentially broken down into two categories: the efficiency and the maintenance.
- Coming to the efficiency, the Xiaomi Soap Dispenser is without a doubt one of the most economical soap dispensers in the market. That even when compared to other automatic soap dispensers. The biggest difference I noticed was that people tend to overuse the soap when it's a manual dispenser. Majority of the time these liquid soap dispensers pump 3-4 times and take a huge chunk of soap which isn't necessary when is overkill when it comes to maintaining hand hygiene.
- The Xiaomi Soap Dispenser on the other hand shoots out the appropriate amount of soap. Not only does it limit the quantity but it also converts the liquid into a foam which improves both the longevity of the fill and the penetration power of the soap itself. I refilled the soap container a total of 3 times in the past 8 months and that with loads of people using it multiple times a day.
- Next up is the maintenance. Obviously, the less amount of time you have to spend maintaining a device the better the performance of the said device. And with the Xiaomi Soap dispenser, it was virtually Nil. However, the biggest advantage of using this dispenser was that there's no residual gunk that needs cleaning. Unlike bar soap which leaves residual stains and regular dispensers that are prone to drips and spills, this one is extremely easy to maintain.

Key Features
- The Xiaomi soap dispenser has a contactless, more sanitary and effective antibacterial soap.

- It can effectively kill bacteria and viruses with an inhibition rate of up to 99.9 per cent. The Mi soap dispenser can take care of the health of the family by effectively inhibit E. Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Candida Albicans and other bacteria and viruses. In fact, Xiaomi recently launched a UV Sterilizer Lamp that can disinfect an entire room.
- The Xiaomi dispenser uses a slightly acidic formula and a natural plant essence hand sanitizer which is close to the human skin's pH value. So, long term use will not result in damage. In fact, it actually makes the hands soft and smooth as it's added with a hydrating and moisturizing function. Basically, it has a mild texture that is very gentle and skin-friendly and forms no residue of any kind.
- It can sense your hand from a distance of 60 to 90mm.

- The Xiaomi mijia automatic soap dispenser is also waterproof. So, the device itself will not get dirty.
- With its micro-high efficiency motor and rubber damping structure, there's virtually no noise with ow power consumption.
How effective is the Xiaomi Mijia Soap Dispenser?
The Mijia Soap Dispenser is quite effective. As mentioned earlier this device functions based on a light sensor. Which is actually sensitive. While Xiaomi states that the soap is ejected in about 0.2 seconds, our tests indicated it to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 0.4.
Of course, this negligible number doesn't really affect the user experience. However, the sensor does tend to deteriorate with time. After a couple of years of usage, the sensor does tend to act finicky every now and then.
As this soap dispenser is powered by four AA batteries, it can last for up to 6 months. As for the soap tank, it can last for about 400 washes. It also is IPX4 certified. So, it won't be susceptible to water damage.
As for the most important bit of actually killing bacteria. The solution and the foam are both capable of 99.9% of microbes. However, it will take you around three pumps to get a good lather that can manage this. We also found that you will need to use this foam multiple times if you're trying to get rid of stains.

Is Xiaomi Mijia Soap Dispenser really worth it?
The need for a contactless disperser like the Xiaomi Soap dispenser is pretty obvious, especially in the time we live in. Other than the contactless deliver of soap the ease of mind that comes with it is more than worthy of a buy. There is also the fact where it improves the aesthetic quality of your home and makes it a bit more automated. Home automation is Mijia's philosophy so you'll find amazing devices that can modernize your home like the Motion Sensor Faucet and the Smart Trash Can.
- There’s one thing that can be a bit off-putting for most people and that's refilling the soap which is a serious pain in the ass. I don't know why Xiaomi would do something like this. The soap cannot be refilled using a normal store-bought soap.
- As the knob on top of the bottle cannot be easily removed, only the soap that comes with the dispenser the first time can be used. Fortunately, Xiaomi sells these soap dispensers for cheap.
But there is an alternative hack, that a lot of users have figured out is using a screwdriver to remove the soap bottle’s top, where you can add liquid and then close it again. Also, you can choose from two different types of soap.

Great dispenser. The family is delighted. I hope the baby will wash his hands without reminder. The device is quite large and high-height slightly more than the standard dispenser. You will have to be careful, so as not to drop unintentionally-it is unlikely that the plastic will withstand the fall on the floor. Thanks to both the inventors, and the manufacturer.
