Great Overall design but Pump squirts straight out, not down

Posted by Lisa in Florida on Jul 1st 2020

I purchased the Cora Soap Pump & Sponge Holder five months ago after I had looked for months for the right shape and design of soap dispenser with attached sponge holder for my kitchen. Although this does not have drainage holes for the sponge, the overall design is perfect for me. I clean the holder regularly. Having the sponge holder attached
in-line with the dispenser (rather than on the side) is more streamlined and utilizes less counter space. The base is rubber and stays put even if the counter gets wet.
After three months though, the soap pump began squirting the soap straight out at me rather than down towards the sink and then stopped pumping all together. Even with a full bottle of soap, the pump sometimes requires priming with water in order to get it to squirt out soap again. I think it's clogging up which is truly bothersome. I either need to purchase another Cora just like this or begin looking for a different brand and/or design. Poor pump functionality is reason for low Rating. Change the pump's design and I'll give a 5 star rating.
