Review on 🧽 OXO Soap Squirting Dish Sponge: Efficient Cleaning with Yellow/Clear/Black Design by Rosemary Wright

I'm going to buy another one tonight because I really don't have a choice. This is the best option among several bad options. We have 6 months from the last stick but they could be slightly shorter. My gripe with OXO is that they tend to do great things, but they ignore a flaw in that design — perhaps because it's too expensive to fix. The situation is as follows. We keep the OXO Dish Sponge down, probably like a lot of people. When you fill the wand with soap and seal it tightly enough so that the soap doesn't spill, the chamber becomes virtually airtight. After pressing the button of the dispenser several times, during this time it works perfectly, it sucks most of the air out of the chamber. Without air in the chamber, the button cannot generate enough pressure to push the soap out of the dispensing orifice. So you push the button harder to try and get it done, and most of the time it doesn't. You keep pressing harder and harder because the soap won't come out and you press the button prematurely. It's a colossal PITA, but if you break the cap of the pen you put the soap in to let air into the chamber, it'll work fine again for a while. If there was always air in the chamber - through a one-way valve - the button would always work. It wears out over time, but I suspect this air pressure issue is the primary cause of premature button wear, rendering the wand unusable. OKSO: Fix it!
