I use this item for lotions for my bath / soap shop I have. It dispenses thick and thin creams beautifully. Please note, it will arrive with the need to be deep cleaned from manufacturing - it will place a dark grease like product in your product if not cleaned properly. I spent a lot of elbow grease taking off all reside. Mineral spirits was key to going deep because as soon as I thought i had it it was still showing up in my product. It is easy to assemble and disassemble and you need to disassemble and do the thorough cleaning. I've now used it on numerous occasions and no more reside. It is amazing and has made my life so much easier. I run out of my lotion so quickly that this is a life saver!
