The Best Kitchen Soap Dispensers (Review) in 2020

The mason jar design is a lovely kitchen-centric feature of our best kitchen soap dispensers review’s top pick and should work with most sink designs. Made from a glass canning jar with a one pint capacity, the stainless steel lid and pump nozzle are coated a smart matt black. There’s a timeless quality to this soap dispenser’s design which means it would work as well with a more modern, minimalist kitchen as it would with a traditional country style. It also has a solid feel and is durable enough for a busy family kitchen. With a leak-proof silicone gasket, it performs well without mess and is easy to clean and re-fill. However, it is on the large size so do check it will fit your sink space.

Sleek and stylish, with high-shine stainless steel pump top and lids, our premium pick is also great value as it’s a two-bottle pack. Made from clear, shatter-proof glass, these soap dispensers are safe enough for a busy kitchen and their slim design means they can fit singly in smaller spaces. Together, you get a versatile sink set up, with the option to also use hand soap or moisturizer.  Each bottle provides a 16-ounce capacity, so plenty of space for your liquid dish soap and the weight of the glass gives the whole dispenser an excellent level of stability. Inside, the pump tube is made from BPA-free plastic and the whole pump mechanism is smooth and hassle-free.

There’s a real eye-catching look to OXO’s Easy Press Dispenser which would look fabulous in a modern styled kitchen. But as well as contemporary looks, the Easy Press provides one-press dispensing. Simply press the pump head with either hand and the precision spout dispenses the perfect amount of soap, either onto your hand or directly into the kitchen sink. Less mess, non-slip and less pressure means quick and easy dishwashing! The body design gives the whole sink soap dispenser excellent stability, and with the clear glass you can see when the soap is getting low. Add in a non-slip foot for extra security, a decent 15-ounce capacity and a wide opening for easy refilling and you have a quality dispenser that justifies the higher end price-tag. 

Elegant is a word that can be used to describe Arktek’s soap dispenser, which would look as good in your bathroom as it would next to the kitchen sink. But an effective kitchen dispenser needs to be more than just looks, and this soap pump seems to be built for the job. The dispenser outer body is made from commercial grade stainless steel, with a brushed finish to resist rust and fingerprints. Inside you get a durable and leak-proof plastic inner and the whole dispenser can hold up to 13.5 ounces so totally practical for your liquid dish soap. The pump handle is flat for one-handed action and the tube is long enough to get down to the last residue of liquid soap inside. The only down is the nozzle is a little on the short side, so you do need to keep the dispenser close to the sink edge. 

This caddy from mDesign is a good way to keep a tidy workstation in your kitchen, with not just a pump dispenser but a separate compartment for sponges or dishwashing brushes. With a simple modern design, the caddy is made from textured woven plastic that gives almost a metallic look, while the dispenser is made from shatterproof plastic. One thing to note is that the soap dispenser is molded into the caddy so cannot be removed. However, the metal pump nozzle is easy to undo so you can refill from the top. And the plastic body is just clear enough to see the liquid soap level. And the bottle is on the large size too, holding 18 ounces of soap for long-lasting dish cleaning. 

If you want to incorporate your dish soap in with your kitchen sink, this super-smart built-in soap dispenser is easy to install and will be a great companion to your existing faucet. And the beauty of this dispenser from Ultimate Kitchen is that it can be refilled from the top, so no scrabbling under the sink to replenish your dish soap. Made from brushed nickel and with a modern design that will work with most stainless steel sinks and faucets, this is an excellent built-in dispenser for the price. You get gaskets for above and below the countertop to keep everything watertight and a skirt cover keeps everything clean and secure. The nozzle is also super-long without getting in the way, meaning it easily reaches over your sink for precision liquid soap dispensing. And to refill, simply remove the top nozzle and pour in your soap, re-tighten and you are back on your way. 

The Umbra is a curveball when it comes to traditional soap dispenser designs, resembling the penguin shape of its namesake. And the cute, modern design is a winner in our books, especially when you consider its price.  Available in black or nickel, the outer shell of the Penguin Pump is made from durable molded plastic that has a lovely ‘soft touch’ finish. And the wide, rounded top makes it easy to one-touch dispense the liquid soap inside. With a decent 12-ounce capacity, the nozzle is long enough to hit the sink spot and a clear view front panel ensures you always know when you are running low on soap. Add in a wide base for extra stability and the Penguin is definitely one of our top picks from the dispenser’s pack. And as its good for a range of different uses, the kids will love it too!

If you’re looking for a soap dispenser for a smaller kitchen sink space, then this slim pump dispenser could fit the bill. With a 10-ounce capacity, it’s not as large as the other dispensers in our review, but its slimline design means it can slot into a smaller gap. Made from rust-proof stainless steel, it has a classic design that works with all styles of kitchen and the pump action is precise for minimal kitchen soap waste. And the brushed outer adequately repels any greasy finger marks. Inside the mechanism is well-built and should last a long time, although the pump is a little stiff to operate. For the price, if you are looking for a smaller dispenser that has a quality look and feel of a more expensive model, the do check out the YCOLL.
