These bottles are cute, I ordered them for my small business; I make vegan lotions with essential oils. The pumps work great and they have a silver cap, which gives the bottles a nice look. I ordered the multi-colored set for the different scents that I create, but when they came in I only got 5 colors, and a couple of them were different from the picture. The bottles also had small scratches all over them, but aren't noticable once the bottles are filled. The product picture shows 6 different colors: blue, orange, pink, green, clear and purple. However, I only received 5 colors: pink, brown, blue, black, and clear. Another thing that was strange was that the straws/hoses (whatever you want to call them) on the pumps were extremely long, so you have to cut them by hand to fit the bottles. The Amazon product page says that these bottles are made in the USA, which is the main reason I bought them, but they took almost 2 weeks to come in with my Prime account, so I'm wondering if they are really from the USA. Overall, I do like these bottles, the price alone is too good to pass up, especially for a small business. I will most likely order these again, however, it was a little disappointing that they were different from what Amazon shows.I use these for hand soap in the bathroom.I have a large bottle of hand soap refill, but both the original pump dispensers that came with it broke! The plastic pumps just snapped off. In comparison, these pumps definitely look and feel much sturdier.Each bottle is 1 7/8" in diameter, and 7 7/8" tall.Judging from the product photo, I was afraid these bottles might look weird, being too tall and thin. But no, now that I have them, I'm happy with them. The bathrooms I use these in have pedestal sinks - so no counter space at all. I like that these bottles don't take up too much space on the sinks.Also, with small bathrooms and young kids, things get knocked over all the time. I like that these bottles are made of plastic, so if they get knocked to the floor, they won't break like glass might.Finally, I like that the pump is kind of "stiff". I'm not sure what's the best word to describe it. It might depend on the viscosity of whatever you put into the bottle, but when I push the pump all the way down, I do get more soap than I would like. It's not an obscene amount, but it's more than I need. But since the pump is "stiff", it's easy to just push it down a little, and control exactly how much soap you want to dispense.These are absolutely perfect, highly recommended. I was buying my dish soap at sams. It comes in a massive bottle and before I am half way through it the pump top seems to break. It also takes up room and looks tacky next to my sink. While at a grocery store my husband saw some pump bottles and was going to buy one to put the dish soap in and I suggested he let me look on Amazon first. I did a lot of searching here before I decided on these. These seemed to be the best value for the 3 pack. When they arrived I was surprised at how thick the plastic was, they feel very durable. I was also surprised at how little they dispense. This is not a bad thing. These dispense a perfect small amount of soap needed for my dishes. I put my hand lotion in one of the other bottles and it dispenses the perfect amount for that too. You dont have to just push the pump down half way like on the bottle the lotion comes in else you end up with a handful of lotion. These keep my family from using way more of these products than what is actually needed. I would, and probably will, buy these again.I wanted to find skinny glass containers to clean up and organize my shower caddy, however I could only ever find plastic. Overall these look nice and they probably look like glass until you pick them up. Note that the color definitely changes based on the color of the substance it the bottle. The durability/functionality, however, is mediocre. The first night we used these my husband dropped one and the pump head split in half. I was able to find one of the pieces and glue it back on but disappointing night one. Additionally, one of the bottles came damaged, with a crease in the middle of it from shipping. Finally, some of the pumps work awesome. Others are absolutely worthless! I bought two sets and some of them cannot even handle a standard shampoo. Another one is a champ with thick conditioner. Jury is still out on if it works with shower gel with beads.I'm using one for conditioner and the other for my castile body soap. The conditioner pumps with ease but I have to be careful pumping out the soap. It's fairly thin and will squirt out hard, spattering everywhere (including into my eye). Not complaining about the strong pump. Just letting you know that they will definitely work with lotions and conditioner with ease. Thick soaps or body wash won't be a problem. Anything thin like oil and you'll want to be careful.I liked the bottle for purple toning shampoo in my shower and this one looks great, the only issue is once it’s filled and the pump gets used the pump does drip. So I tend to find nice purple streaks on everything beneath it.They look good and they work well. The pump lock can be difficult sometimes, though. I've had to spend an extra 10 - 15 seconds trying to get it open or closed sometimes, which is why I took a star off. However, if you're NOT going to be using the locking feature, such as using it at the sink for regular hand soap (I use it in the shower, so I like to close it), then I rate it at 5 stars.
