The sensor soap pump from Sky Mall has the same functionality as the soap dispensers found in public bathrooms. It’s touch-free technology prevents cross-contamination that occurs both in bathrooms and in kitchens. Place your hands under the sensor, and the soap will dispense. A light will blink after 20 seconds, letting you know how long to wash your hands.

The pump stands 8 inches tall and is 6 inches in diameter. Its clear chamber allows you to see how much soap is available before you run out. You can adjust the volume, to make it last.

While I like the concept of this gadget, I feel that the $40 pricetag is expensive. It comes with a 2-year warranty, however.
