Better Living AVIVA Two Chamber Dispenser, Chrome

Better Living AVIVA Two Chamber Dispenser, Chrome Review

I love this product and have used them for years both here at home and in our RV. They are easy to refill and the product stays attached to the wall, even in a wet environment.

The only problem I have is the dispensing mechanism inside seems to break rather easily when you use really thick soaps or soaps that have any kind of granules in them. It either clogs the little hole or causes something to break internally. I don't know exactly what happens, but we feel resistance, then hear/feel a click, then no more soaps comes out. No matter how much we clean the unit, we can never get soaps to dispense out again.

Minor complaint, you just have to use caution when selecting a product to use in these dispensers. Nothing too thick or containing granules.

sleek - desert doc -
The dispensers are sleek in design, making them more attractive than the usual dispensers. They are easy to mount and feel quite secure. I just wonder if the stess placed on the adhesive each time the reservoirs are removed for refills might loosen the adhesive over time.
The only small problem I've noted is that the flow of soap or lotion doesn't shut off quickly with release of the pump button, leaving some liquid hitting the counter after removing my hands.
All in all this is an exellent value.

Item is very flimsy - broke immediately - V. Vinger -
I was so excited to get this item. No more messy tubes of toothpaste! Unfortunately the item is very flimsy. My husband (a general contractor) set it up the same day we got it. My five year old went to use it and had the lever for the toothbrush break off. It then fell off the wall within hours of setting it up and broke in half! We just threw away the pieces. Waste of money.

poor quality - Anne N. Pynos -
Nice concept but didn't last more than a day with my girls (ages 5 and 6). It would not stay on the wall, even with the adhesive contraption they send you--now that contraption will not come off our painted wall w/o pulling the paint with it. I threw the unit away--don't waste your time or money on this.

I like this initially - Grey8matterz - Ronkonkoma
Initially I really like this mouthwash dispenser. I've had it for about 2 months now and noticed dark flecks in my mouthwash. I looked under the kid and the layers of it had separated allowing liquid between. Something dark growing there....ewwww... this is way too expensive an item to be broken in 2 months. save your money.

Glue reacts with mouthwash - L. Romero - Carlsbad, CA United States
I bought this product to make it easy to pour mouthwash. It looks great but it has a couple of problems. The first one is that you need to pump it about 20+ times to get enough mouthwash. The second one, and the main reason for the low rating, is that the glue that holds the metal and acrylic together seems to react with the mouthwash (I use Listerine). After a couple of days, it starts bubbling up around where the glue is. Who knows what chemicals from the glue go into the Listerine.

Mouthwash Decanter

Mouthwash Decanter Review

I got this in the mail a little over a week after buying it & it was in excellent condition.
My only thing is - it's a little on the small side.
I'll have to check around and see if there's one in a 12 or 16 ounce size.
That way I won't have to keep the original disposable mouthwash bottle under the sink as a extra. I'm not much for clutter so I'll have to check if there's a larger size or not.
Overall, I'm pleased w/ this product though. No chipped glass or damage when it arrived.

Mouthwash Decanter Feature

  • Add a bathroom accent with this elegant alternative
  • Stores your mouthwash liquids; holds approximately 6 oz

mouthwash decanter - Jean L. Moore -
I was trying to replace a decanter purchased in Blowing Rock, NC several years ago as I had broken the top/cup. The replacement decanter appeared to be the same quality and priced the same as the original. The quality of the new decanter was of poorer quality cut glass and the stem of the top/cup is a bit wobbly as well as the decanter smaller. I feel it is overpriced, and should have cost about .00.

Better Living AVIVA TRIO Dispenser, Chrome Review

Just for the record, the chrome on the chrome version is not chrome but painted silver plastic. If you're expecting the hard finish of a 57' Chevy bumper you'd be sadly mistaken. Of course common sense (if not price) tells you it's plastic. The unit is super easy to install, the buttons are solid, work well and don't drip. The reservoirs are large and easy to fill. Not much else to say except I expect to get a few good years out of it. I think you'll be pleased with this unit.

CRYSTAL GIFTWARE MOUTHWASH HOLDER

CRYSTAL GIFTWARE MOUTHWASH HOLDER Review


See more picture


This mouthwash decanter is lovely and has a nice solid 24% lead crystal heft to it. At almost 7-3/4" tall it holds a good amount of mouthwash and can be easily refilled. I chose this item because I wanted more room on my vanity sink and didn't need the huge and unwieldy mouthwash plastic jug taking up so much room. The tall design (rather than wide) frees up extra space, plus it looks far more attractive than a Listerine bottle. The stopper on top can also be used as a mouthwash cup then rinsed immediately (or you can sip it directly out of the decanter but that's not quite as elegant!)

I would not recommend this decanter for a crowded or narrow sink where there's a chance of knocking it off onto the floor. Also, it may not be stable enough on a curved or uneven basin. It is better suited to a wide vanity or ledge. Also, while the literature also recommends filling it with lotion, I don't think the neck is wide enough to make filling (or dispensing) practical. Bath salts or bubble bath would likely be a good fit, but if kept inside the bath area itself it needs a stable resting spot -- it's very heavy and could cause damage if it came crashing down.

Overall, a great bathroom decanter!

CRYSTAL GIFTWARE MOUTHWASH HOLDER Feature

  • Crafted of fine crystal material
  • Stopper serves as a shot glass when removed
  • Makes a unique barware addition
  • Measures approx: 7.5" high.
A bit of luxury for the lavatory. This elegant, full-lead crystal bottle holds up to 6oz. of your favorite mouth wash and is capped with a stopper that doubles as a rinse cup.

ELEGANT - Mickie - South Carolina
This is very elegant for the bathroom or vanity. It can be used in a variety of ways. It's better than displaying any kind of plastic bottle and definitely a lot prettier.

Love this mouthwash decanter - Nanci - Overland Park, Kansas
I cannot stand the ugly plastic mouthwash bottles and was thrilled to find this decanter. I have purchaced 6 so far for our home and as gifts. It holds enough mouthwash for 1 week using twice a day. At first I thought it was a little small but after weeks of use it is just perfect!! It does not take up a lot of counter space and looks great!!!

Better Living AVIVA Two Chamber Dispenser, White Review

My 9 y/o son had been using an insane amount of body wash and shampoo during his nightly showers. We'd tried pump bottles for a while, but our shower is small and the sound of them falling off the shelf scared the heck out of me each night. I decided to try this shower dispenser and figured for the price I'd be happy if it worked even somewhat okay.

Well, it's great! We had the thing installed in just a few minutes. I was impressed how easy it is to fill. My son has no problem using the dispenser with his little hands, even when they're soapy. And best yet, we're not going through bottles of shampoo and body wash every 3 days now!

What a useful item! - G. Gonzalez - Central California
I bought these to try out because I was tired of juggling bottles in the shower. I am so very pleased I bought it! It was super easy for my son-in-law to install and works great! I'm sure I'm saving on shampoo and body cleanser as it dispenses just the right amount with two or three pumps. It does not drip either. I shopped around and found a good price at Amazon! Do youself a favor and order one for each bathroom!

Perfect but expensive - S. Yeh - Boston, MA
PRO: Sturdy build. Easy and solid install with the silicone glue. Looks nice. I got 2 and cleaned up the clutter in the shower and the kids' tub nicely.

CON: is pretty steep for simple shampoo dispensers if you think about it. I think is more reasonable. I give it 4 stars because of the price.

hohum quality / holy cow pricetag - Ivan Corona -
This item is not made in the Czech Republic as stated. It is made in China and distributed by Crystal Clear Home (crystalcleardotcom) labeled as 'Hamilton' 6 oz Mouthwash Crystal Decanter.

The decanter holds neither 9 oz as described on seller's website or even 6 oz as labeled on package. It holds a paltry 3.9 oz filled to the brim. Add another .9 oz with the shot glass stopper and you almost have a total of 5 oz. As for the quality of this piece, I say BOOOOOOOOO. Poor craftsmanship shows defects such as trapped air pockets as well as other defects in the crystal.

I chose to keep this item for its shot glass stopper. I decided to take it with me shopping and maybe I'll find a better quality decanter to fit it on which actually holds at least 8.5 oz so I don't have to refill my mouthwash decanter every week.

Better Living AVIVA Three Chamber Dispenser, Chrome

Better Living AVIVA Three Chamber Dispenser, Chrome Review

I have had these for about three years and it's still looking sharp and working perfectly fine. When i first bought one, i liked the look and feel of it so much i bought several more for all the bathrooms i have. They look like super high-end gym/spa dispensers but without the cost. i was looking for something that was high quality and functional. this fits the bill perfectly. At first i was a little concerned that the chrome on the plastic would come off easily. But even after three years of abuse in the shower, it still shines and nothing has peeled off yet. It looks great and works perfectly well. i wish everything in my shower still looks good like that after three years. I was worried about different lotions or shampoos cluttering up my pump, never happened. It delivers my moisturizer with no problem either! This thing declutters my bathroom and is a must have. My house guests who have used it, all wanted one.

- install was a breeze. i prefer the silicone option which came with the package, in case i ever need to remove it.

- i like the label tags which you can stick onto the chambers. a nice touch.

- removable individual chambers makes cleaning and replacing solutions a breeze.

- hooks at bottom are nice to have. hang shaver, scrubs etc.

i saw these recently (sept, 2009) at Bed Bath and Beyond under a different name but essentially the same product with same pakaging, and it was selling for . This is a much better deal here!

Great product! - KOLN1011 - Lynnwood, WA
We love it! Our shower is now clutter free and we are saving money at the same time. I use two squirts for shampoo and three squirts for shower gel, which is much less that the glob we used to get from the manufacturer's bottles. Highly recommend!

Looks great, easy to install, works well - Washington User - Seattle
Overall, I really like this product which I purchased about 2 years ago. It still looks great and I receive many compliments on the way it looks in my bathroom. It was easy to install, has not budged since installed, and priming the pumps was easy when the directions were followed. It saves space in my samll shower too. The only thing that might be a problem is that the shampoo, conditioner and body wash I use are all reacting a bit on the inside of the lids and turning the the lids green. I try and be careful when I refill the containers, and so far it only affects the inside, but I suspect at some point it will eat away at the chrome plate on the outside and make the appearance look funny. However, I have been really pleased with the looks and function of this product. These are so much better looking and easier to use than multiple bottles in the shower. No mold has grown around the base unit, and I like that I can buy the inexpensive products (I always use) in bulk and fill up dispensers w/o having the big bottles in the shower.
