How long should a good soap dispenser last?

Manual stainless or glass dispensers from OXO, simplehuman, and AIKE draw 5–10+ year durability anecdotes on r/BuyItForLife. Rechargeable sensor pumps draw a much tighter window — multiple r/simplehuman threads describe failures right around the 2-year warranty mark, even on simplehuman's own line. Set expectations accordingly when comparing manual vs. automatic.
