This is a great water cooler for the price and it is very quiet when it is on. Make sure to rinse it really really good before you put water in it. My first bottle of water tasted a little funny but now it is great.

My family uses the water cooler for every day use. I especiallly like that my teenager drinks a lot more water than before making this purchuse. A huge plus!!! Also, I use the microwave less for reheating my coffee and our making hot tea or instant coffee. Yeah!!! My teenager seems to think it takes too long to fill up his water bottle but, he's a teenager who is always on the go...me, I say slow down. I get about 22 ounces out of it(cold water) before the light comes on to let me know it's cooling again. Personally, I think that's pretty good considering that before I drink the full 22 ounces the cooler has the water chilled for my next 22 ounces! I also enjoy the storage compartment. Our drinking cups fit nicely in it. All in all, I feel that the cost I invested in your product has overwhelmingly been worth the money spent. I plan to purchase one for my parents as well. Thank you.
Love it! Better than expected.

We use bottled water for drinking and cooking in our home. We also have a small guest cabin and use the table top model recently purchased there. It is great for quick hot tea, hot chocolate and chilled drinking water. Very handy. Water does come out a bit slow but hey...it is a guest/vacation cabin. You are supposed to slow down relax and enjoy...
Works for us.

Water temps are good |
I am totally dissatisfied with this product. It produces small amoutns of useable hot/cold water - and takes an inordinate amount of time to reccop same. I don't like the 'child' safety factor on the hot water it makes it more difficult for these old, crippled hands to use it - it should have been an option. My old, full sized unit that I had was wonderful - I could take out a quart or more at a time of either hot or cold water, easily dispensed and I wasn't even aware of the recoop time as it was so quick. The dispenser knob on the hot unit broke on me for a second time and I decided to replace it - big mistake - I am now stuck with this unit and am not at all happy with it. I would not recommend it to anyone.

This unit makes you want to drink water. Keeps it really cold or hot with no wait. Older model you had to press button and wait for hot. This one its there waiting for you. Very nice feature. Also just one center spigot is nicer than two and the water pressure is great. Our last unit was avanti and we wore it out.

Product is good for the price. I would prefer cold water to be colder and you do not have a dial like other units to adjust the cold temperature. The unit is also very light which is good for moving around and lifting, but you must be careful when loading 5 gallon bottle as they can literally knock the thing over.

This cooler is great and works very well. The taste of the water was not good at first. After cleaning it out with baking soda and vinegar, it began to taste better slowly but surely. It shouldn't be such a chore to remove bad taste. Otherwise I give this cooler 4 stars. Quality product.

I bought this product because I was just sick and tired of my kids going in and out of the fridge and drinking up all the water and not replacing it!!! So I decided to be proactive and get this cooler. Because I wanted lots of water available I purchased the PUR Water Bottle for 3-5 Gallon coolers and it works wonderfully. At first I thought someting was wrong with the cooler because it would not dispense. But my 10 year old told me I did not put enough water in the cooler when I was first setting it up. All and all this is a great product. I love that it does hot water but we don't use it that much so I keep it shut off for the most part.

Highly recommend!! This is a perfect size to use with 3-gallon jugs and keep water in my office. Very quiet and keeps water at a good temperature. The height of the dispenser is too low to fit larger glasses, so you have to fill a small one more frequent. But I guess you get colder water then anyway. Bought this to replace a Haier cooler with identical features ... that one died and they did not have a service center to fix it.

This product was a great gift . my brother moved into a samll apartment and needed one. They hardly cook, just eat noodles, easy stuff. He enjoys it, but he says that the filter isn't good and you'll have to buy your own filter and put it in because the water doesn't taste all that great, but it's perfect for his little kitchen and it blends in with the rest of his furniture, really modern

We use this cooler in a small office and the size and looks fit in perfectly. We have received complements from visitors about its attractiveness.

Right size for my counter top that saves from taking up needed space on kitchen floor. I bought this unit to avoid buying bottled water and unnecessary adding to landfill, i.e., fill up reusable bottle holders. It will conveniently hold 3-5 gallon bottles. One of my best purchases at a good price comparable to buying a water crock that only keeps water at room temperature.

The Avanti is a really nice product, very nice lines and easy to clean. This water dispenser is very quiet and I only had to flush it once to get the "new" taste out. I purchased 2 Hamilton Beach dispensers last year and the Avanti is by far a superior product. My only complain is that the cold water does not flow as freely as the hot.

We love our water cooler/heater. Others think the water flow is slow and that it takes too much time to chill or heat, but what do you expect from such a small unit. For the size this does wonderful. If you get it so you don't have to drink the water from your faucet, then this is great. Now you have to find a company that has water bottles safe to use, ie a 2 or 5 on the labeling for plastic.

I needed a water cooler at my workplace. I had looked at several different brands with different features and was undecided about which one to buy. I was leaning toward one that was much more expensive. Then I came across this wonderful table top one that had all the features of the expensive model. With some skepticism I ordered it and have been amazed at the quality and realiability of this unit. This is a great product and you cannot beat the price!

It's so easy to use. My husband likes tea and I don't have to take the time to heat it up any more. When I want cold water, which I drink a lot, I don't have to lift heavy bottles from the refrigerator. My husband loves the fact that it is so easy to load the 5 gallon water bottle onto. Neither of us can lift very heavy loads.
Thank you so much!!!

Great for cool water and a cup of tea. Wish it had an adjustable thermistat as I use it for instant soup and I need to nuke each cup for 30 seconds in the microwave to obtain boil to cook the noodles properly. Also wish it despensed quicker. Great professional styling and excellent price.

We put this in a kitchen corner and use it for coffee,tea, cooking and healthy drinking water. We were quite surprised by the quality. We may take it on vacation with us, because we always buy bottled water on vacation. This would be easy to transport and save money. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

This unit is very nice looking. It's very quiet. The only problem I've had is it dispenses a bit slow, but it's not that big of a deal.

We've got it on the counter in our condo with a 3 gallon bottle. Just enough for the two of us. No issues with plastic smell as we ran a little baking soda through when we first purchased. It is a neat little unit.
Just enough hot for a good cup of tea (and to heat the dog's dinner! Just enough cold for a refreshing drink.
I love it

Small footprint, quite, easy to use.
However, if you need to fill a coffeepot (10 cups), get a chair, it will take a while!
Other than that good price, good product (3 weeks).

At first the water seemed to have a plastic taste. The manufacturer gives a way to elliminate this. Now my water is great! The temp for the hot water is perfect too. I highly recommend this water cooler.

It is wonderful having hot water on tap to make tea without taking the time to boil water. Also, it is a good thing to have cold water on tap without always opening the refrigerator. We think it is well worth the space it takes.

Small cold H2O reservior, Plasticky taste to water |
I bought this to use on my countertop and to replace a tall water cooler (made by Sunbeam) that was taking up too much space. I am very happy with the space savings, but have a few qualms with this unit.
Despite following the cleaning directions (Run 4 cups of hot water through it...I used way more than 4 cups) The water it dispenses tastes like plastic still. I am currently on my 2nd 5 gallon bottle so maybe that will clear up soon. I know that this unit is to blame and not the bottles because I used the same bottles with another water cooler and that one tasted great.
Another drawback is that it only stores about 2 large glasses of "kind of" cold water (about 55 degrees). My previous unit had temperature control and kept the water much colder (close to 40 degrees), as well as storing MUCH more cold water.
I like the option of hot water but do not use it and am glad that it dispenses room temperature water which I use for cooking.
All in all I like this product since it saves ALOT of space and I am sure it will grow on me once the water loses that awful plastic taste. 4 stars
