</span><p class="speakableTextP1">I'm obsessed with touchless soap dispensers, which you can now find in abundance at Amazon. They come in a variety of styles and sizes, most from "brands" you've never heard of. That doesn't mean they're bad products, just that they're commoditized and hard to tell apart.&nbsp;</p><p class="speakableTextP2">Here's one I actually own, and it's ridiculously cheap right now: For a limited time, and while supplies last, the <strong><span class="comLink nolinks norewrite" section="commerce-link" data-track="commerceLink"><a href="https://assoc-redirect.amazon.com/g/r/https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WSNY1F6/?tag=cheapskate08-20&amp;ascsubtag=ag%3A02a64442-5199-48c4-9afd-dc35de81a0bf%7Cvg%3A___VIEW_GUID___%7Cst%3Adtp" data-component="leadsTracker" data-leads-tracker-options="{&quot;numNodes&quot;:1,&quot;trackingData&quot;:{&quot;asid&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;assetguid&quot;:&quot;02a64442-5199-48c4-9afd-dc35de81a0bf&quot;,&quot;contype&quot;:&quot;review&quot;,&quot;destUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/assoc-redirect.amazon.com\/g\/r\/https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07WSNY1F6\/?tag=cheapskate08-20&amp;ascsubtag=ag%3A02a64442-5199-48c4-9afd-dc35de81a0bf%7Cvg%3A___VIEW_GUID___%7Cst%3Adtp&quot;,&quot;devicetype&quot;:&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;ctype&quot;:&quot;cpc&quot;,&quot;leadcpc&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;ltype&quot;:&quot;manual&quot;,&quot;merid&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;merchantName&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;pagetype&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;pid&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;rsid&quot;:&quot;cbsicnetglobalsite&quot;,&quot;siteid&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;topic&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;ttag&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;viewguid&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;event&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;_destCat&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07WSNY1F6\/?tag=cheapskate08-20&quot;}}" section="commerce-link" data-shortcode="this-hands-free-soap-dispenser-is-a-steal-at-10-40" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Forty4 Touchless Foaming Soap Dispenser is just $10.40</a></span></strong> with promo code <strong>T8PU5EJH</strong>. That's about as low as I've seen for one of these, though I've spotted a ton of others on sale in the $13 to $15 range.</p><p>I've had this for about a month, and so far it's working perfectly. The setup instructions aren't great (I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to get the battery compartment open), but I did learn this great trick: You don't have to buy actual foaming soap, which can get expensive.</p><div class="newsletter-subscribe-form desktop -inline " section="subscribeNewsletter" data-track="newsletter"><span>

</span></div><p>Instead, you can use regular hand soap mixed with the proper ratio of water. I went with 1:5. Result: Perfect foam. Your mileage may vary.

I like the dispenser's 450-ml container, which is larger than most and doesn't need to be refilled often.&nbsp;</p><p>However, this isn't the prettiest model I've seen, and I wish it would let you adjust how much soap comes out based on where you place your hand. Instead, you have to push a button to toggle between the two modes, which kind of defeats the purpose.</p><p>Want something a little more stylish?

I found these fairly uncomfortable, surprising given that actual AirPods fit me quite well.</p><p>The M1 sound quality is a bit better as well, though I have to say both of these surprised me: They're decent, good enough for "emergency" audio needs.</p><p>Indeed, for the price, you shouldn't expect much — and you therefore won't be disappointed. 😜</p><hr><p>CNET's Cheapskate scours the web for great deals on tech products and much more.
