I was skeptical too, but once I tried one I didn’t go back to separate bottle. Less mess on the counter and one-hand operation is nice when the other hand is holding a greasy plate. The one I bought has a pretty reliable pump so far (about 4 months now) and refills easily. Someone linked this set in another thread and I ended up ordering it https://www.amazon.com/dish-brush/dp/B0BTTSCX6T?tag=contractorhub-20 — soap lasts decently and brush scrubs well. The only downside is you have to remember to refill before it runs out completely.
