11th Command-ment: Thou Shalt Buy a Kickbutt Soap Dish from 3M
Disclaimer: I work for 3M and I love my job, but I paid full price for this product on Amazon.com because I needed a new soap dish and wanted to enhance company profits. My review is genuine, and I was not paid any extra bonus or given a free vacation day for writing this stellar review.
For years, my wife and I had a suction cup soap dish in our shower. About once every 3 months, it would bite the dust and come crashing down to the floor of the shower. Aside from the risk that these events might lead to shower surface damage or bodily injury, the sound of this happening was somewhat like a wrecking ball crashing through the family room, especially for the person in the room below the shower. Finally, I stumbled upon the idea that I should consider holding the soap dish to the shower wall with a Command Strip. Command Strips are the 3M equivalent of duct tape, though 3M makes the best duct tape known to man, as well. Cripes. Now I am sounding like a spokesperson. Sorry. My point is that Command Strips can be used for all kinds of cool things. Then, it occurred to me that maybe 3M had already thought of a soap dish suspended with Command Strips. INDEED, I discovered, they had. I snapped one up on Amazon, and our shower no longer houses falling soap dishes.
There are many things I love about my new 3M Command soap dish:
+ Simple to Install: It doesn't take a rocket scientist. If you cannot install it in 3 minutes or less, you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
+ Attractive: Yes, I am a man, but I know a nice looking soap dish when I see one. This does not look like a cheesy soap dish from a dollar store. It is nice.
+ Finely Engineered: 3M is a mecca for engineers. There will be no product launched until engineers have had their say. This dish is built to support even the largest bar of soap, and it is nicely designed to drain off excess water and soap, unlike the junky suction cup dish I replaced.
+ Removable/Replaceable: The hanger for this dish attaches separately from the dish, making it easy to remove the dish for cleaning without having to remove the Command Strip. Very smart.
+ Excellent Value: Compared to alternatives, this soap dish is TOO INEXPENSIVE! 3M should be selling it for more money. How about "Preferred 100:1 Over Other Soap Dishes"? OK, that is not an actual claim, but I'll bet it's true.
Did you ever think you would read a review this lengthy about a soap dish?
Buy it. You'll love it.
