soap dispenser simple human ST1082, stainless steel, 0.266 L, rechargeable Li‑Ion

The simplehuman ST1082 rechargeable automatic soap dispenser is a touch-free stainless steel unit with a 0.266 L reservoir designed for desk or countertop placement. It dispenses measured amounts of soap or hand sanitizer via an infrared sensor to reduce cross-contamination and smudges. The dispenser is waterproof for easy cleaning and includes a rechargeable Li‑Ion battery that provides up to three months of typical use per charge. The wide refill opening and a QR code under the lid simplify refilling and reordering soap.

Advantages

Touch-free operation minimizes contact and germ transfer while a clog-proof tubing pump and silicone valve ensure consistent, drip-free dispensing. The sensor allows you to control the amount dispensed by varying hand distance. The stainless steel casing offers a durable finish suitable for frequent use, and the rechargeable battery removes the need for frequent battery replacement.

Suitable for

• Home bathrooms and kitchens for hygienic hand washing
• Office desks and reception areas to reduce shared contact points
• Small commercial or food-prep counters where quick, measured dispensing is needed

When it may not be suitable

The unit’s 0.266 L capacity may require more frequent refills in very high-traffic locations. It is designed for desk or countertop placement and may not be ideal for wall-mounted installations without additional accessories. Very thick or heavily particulate soaps may affect pump performance despite the clog-resistant design.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 0.266 L
• Placement: desk / countertop
• Body material: stainless steel
• Power: built-in rechargeable Li‑Ion battery (rechargeable with included charging puck)
• Dispensing: infrared sensor, adjustable amount by hand distance

How to use

Fill the reservoir through the wide refill opening, securely close the lid, and place the dispenser on a stable countertop. Power the unit using the included charging puck and allow it to charge fully; one full charge typically lasts up to three months under normal use. Place your hand near the sensor to dispense soap — closer for a smaller amount and farther for a larger amount. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as the unit is waterproof.

What to consider before purchase

• Capacity and expected refill frequency for your location
• Compatibility of soap viscosity — simplehuman liquid soap is recommended for optimum pump performance
• Placement: designed for desk/countertop use rather than wall mounting
• Need for a rechargeable unit versus battery-powered alternatives

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use a compatible liquid soap or hand sanitizer and keep the refill opening clean. Allow the dispenser to charge fully before first use and clean the stainless steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth. If dispensing becomes inconsistent, check for debris in the tubing and use simplehuman soap when possible for optimal results.
