High quality --- poor design
As with all Grohe products the quality of manufacture is excellent. The problem is with design.
The plastic reservoir bottle is threaded, yet it does not screw into the body of the dispenser. Instead, it is held in place by prongs. When refilled the full weight of the dishwashing liquid causes the bottle to release from the prongs. On several occasions the bottle fell and spilled on the floor and items stored in the cabinet below the sink. Needless to say cleaning up spilled concentrated dishwashing liquid is no picnic. It takes dozens of wringings of the sponge before the sudsing subsides. I finally solved this problem by installing a makeshift L bracket to support the reservoir bottle. Not my idea of great out of the box design.
The second problem is that the pump siphons. This means that in a short period of time, the viscous diswashing liquid will clog the pump's weep holes and the dishwashing liquid continues to pour out of the dispenser onto the...

Don't make the same mistake that I did
My contractor installed this to match the Grohe faucet next to it. It was fine until the stainless steel soap dispenser started to rust and then it didn't look quite the same.
The biggest problems occur when you fill the dispenser. If you fill it more than about half-way, there is a significant probability that the weight of the dispenser will cause it to fall off the (poorly-designed) assembly. If it doesn't fall off and you continue to fill it, the soap/lotion can overflow from the bottle underneath the sink onto the insides of the cabinet. Then you have a real mess to clean up. I just can't imagine that a major manufacturer would not discover these problems before putting this item on the market.
I would have given this product a '0' if that were possible. Since it is not, I gave it the lowest possible score.
DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.
Like the design... and have a solution for the reservoir bottles!
I have had two of these soap dispensers for a little over 7 years now and have been very happy with them. They match the Lady Lux SS faucet beautifully and I use one for dish soap and one for hand soap.
I agree, the reservoir is a weak point. However, it's an inconvenience not unique to Grohe. They are all a pain when it comes time to refill the reservoir whether it attaches with threads or is a friction fit like this model. And if you have deep sinks like I do, you about have to work for Cirque du Soleil(tm) to refill them!
THERE IS A BETTER WAY and I got this tip from a friend of mine (Thanks Andrew!). Take your dispenser pump to your local hardware store or home improvment center and look for clear vinyl tubing. Select the size of vinyl tubing that will snugly fit over the plastic tube that extends into the reservoir bottle. Now buy your favorite dish or hand soap in a BIG bottle and put it in the cabinet under the sink. Cut the vinyl tubing so that it...
