The EKO Aroma dispenser offers a well-balanced mix of aesthetics, functionality, and smart convenience. Its touchless operation is precise and responsive, detecting hands within 3 inches and dispensing soap with minimal delay. This responsiveness, combined with three adjustable dispensing levels, makes it versatile enough for different users and soap types, including hand sanitizer, body wash, and dish soap.

The build features a stainless steel finish, which resists fingerprints and complements modern decor, although the body is made of plastic beneath the surface finish. A USB-C rechargeable battery powers the unit for up to three months on a single charge - a welcome feature for those tired of disposable batteries. The top-fill design is user-friendly but slightly hindered by a narrow soap inlet, which can make refills awkward.

Some minor downsides include inconsistent dispensing volumes and a small delay after dispensing, during which a few extra drops may fall. The blinking blue operational light, while functional, may be distracting in low-light environments. 

Overall, the device performs reliably, though it lacks high-end refinement in materials and software integration.
