BINO SMARTSUCTION Satin Nickel Shower Caddy, Soap Dish

This is a great soap holder. I read a number of reviews that stated the holder wouldn't stay affixed, but I think if you follow directions closely it will hold just fine. This unit uses suction to adhere to the surface, but arrives at it differently than the traditional rubber dome that you press on. That method means that the vacuum/suction created is only as good as the cup that tries to return to its original shape. The Bino holder does it differently It starts with a flat disk which is pulled outward by turning a knob/dial. The vacuum/suction is created when the disc is pulled out in the middle and thus is dependent on the force of the pulling out. This creates a much greater adherence. The trick is to make sure the suction disc is perfectly flat to begin with. You do this by turning the knob counterclockwise. Then you press hard and turn the knob clockwise until it won't turn anymore--as hard as you can. Clean the disc and surface you're placing it on well--I used rubbing alcohol. My tub enclosure is fiberglass and the unit is still on strong after more than a month. One small caveat. The dish itself is plastic-coated metal. It attracts a magnet. It could be a low-grade stainless steel, but is more likely just plain steel. If the plastic coating deteriorates, there could be a rust problem. One final note. All suction devises lose some suction over time, so I recommend tightening up the devise by turning the knob hard clockwise periodically--say once a month. UPDATE: Still adhering after one year.

This is an excellent product. It is the second one I have purchased. I bought one about four years ago and it's still on the shower wall. It has never fallen off. I bought a different brand for a second shower and it fell off within a few days and never stuck again. Bino is the brand to have. Good seller, arrived promptly and in good condition.

Bought this to go on my new tile shower. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t adhere to the tile because of the tile texture. It did however, adhere to the window in the shower and it is locked in place. It’s not quite the silvery color I was expecting, but it works!

So far, I very much like this soap holder for my new bathroom. The suction has worked very well, and this holder allows the soap to dry without the accumulation of scum that happens in most soap holders. The color of the caddy works well with my bathroom. It is difficult to find anything that is not stainless or chrome. So far, I am very happy with this soap holder and would recommend it.. UPDATE 10/11/19: It has been 18 months since the original installation of the soap holder, and so far, it has not released from the wall even once. It is large enough to hold even the biggest of soap bars , the soap is easy to remove for use, and there is no soap scum to clean. I couldn't be happier with this soap caddy. Best of all, I didn't have to drill holes in my tile for it. UPDATE 04/01/20: I have had this soap holder installed for over 2 years, and as yet, it has not come loose from the wall. The soap drains well, and there is no accumulation of soap scum to clean. I am still happy with this soap caddy, and in my opinion, it has passed the test of time. I hope this review was helpful for you. I will update my review if my opinion changes.

Honestly, I'd give it a five star if it stayed on the wall. It looks great and I love that it needs no glue or adhesive of any kind, just suction. It sounded like a good idea so I bought it. I wanted to love it but it fell off the wall after about 24 -36 hours....every time. Tried it in our brand new shower (insert) in several locations and it seems to really adhere to the surface but then after a period of time you'll simply find it on the shower floor. Then I tried it on several other locations throughout the house, on the wall in the downstairs bathroom right next to the sink. Today I found it laying in the sink so that's all she wrote. I'm going to return it. If the seller can fix the problem I'd be willing to try it again. Too bad.

I got this so that I don't have to drill holes into the bath tiles. The item comes with installation instructions. It is very sturdy and can take a lot of weight. Not sure how much, but I hang a shower hose which is metal and fairly heavy, about 5 lbs.. This could possibly take even more weight. Suction and staying power is great. I applied it when I received it and it is still where it is. Applying is it. Just clean a smooth, flat surface. Leave some water on the tile. Loosen the screw knob till the suction cups are nearly flat. Push and turn the knob until it stops turning.

Nice, but will not stick - has fallen 3 times so far

While the product looks well constructed and functional, the actual color of the soap dish I received was more like taupe than the "Satin Nickel" brushed chrome look as depicted on the detail page.

Easy to install,and very handy
