On the other hand, if you buy top-mounted design instead of the point-of-use model you will have to lift and flip heavy bottles which sometimes is difficult and can make the mess around you.
Nevertheless, most dispensers on the market that are suitable for your countertops are top-mounted which means you have to install the bottle on them. Despite harder installation, your bottle is always visible and you will see when is empty and ready for replacement.

Also, many of them can have a smaller dimension than the bottle so if you put the bigger bottle on the smaller dispenser it is saving you space for other objects to hold on your desk.
