Built to fail

Several reviews have mentioned how the rubber/silicone area that you press to dispense the soap will eventually crack. This is on purpose so you will buy more. I know this because I contacted OXO the first time it happened to see if I could buy a replacement part, but they don't make them - however they easily could. I understand companies need to make money, and anyone is free to buy these if they like them. Personally, I really like them, but am not interested in sending one to the landfill 1-2 times a year or supporting a company that intentionally creates products that have to be thrown out sooner than needed. My office has had the same cheap scrubber that dispenses soap for going on 5 years now, so I've switched to that at home.
