Love These Filters Easy Set Up, Water Quality And Taste Amazing
I live in Houston where the drinking water is too chlorinated for my taste and its also hard. I have been buying 500ml bottled water in bulk, which is cheap but heavy to carry as I get older. My daughter bought me a pitcher with a filter like the one she uses. I didn't like it much as the filter is not efficient enough to remove the chlorine taste and the jar is too big to fit in the fridge! I read a lot of reviews about this cooler and most complained about the water being "thick" and being slow to pour. However the convenience of having cold room temp and hot water on tap was too great to pass. I have had it for six months now and found it easy to install (taking care to follow the instructions carefully) and easy to operate. The water texture and flavor are GREAT and the pour is reasonable for an icemaker line. About 10s to fill a 500mL bottle 5s for a normal glass of water nothing unreasonable. I'm not sure what other people expected or to what they are comparing (fridge door water? Never had one so I wouldn't know). The cooler top is flat so my wife and I use the extra space for water glasses and pill holders. Overall this cooler solved lots of small issues we had: space in the fridge, counter space storage for water bottles, buying water at the store and recycling all the PET bottles. The maintenance cost is also on par with the cheap water we were buying. About a couple of weeks after installing, I turned off the hot water, as we don't use it much. This was actually handy because I like to drink water at room temperature, and the button for "room temperature" is too cool. The cold is vey cold!
This is my second bottleless water dispenser. My first one malfunctioned after the 1 year warranty lapsed. My dispenser began to freeze the water in the water tank.
The drip tray dropped so many times. It would have been 5 stars if they put some sort of locking mechanism.
The product is very convenient to use. The installation is a bit complicated, but the instruction is helpful
I have not experienced the easiest self installation, I had to hire some one to come help me and even after that I am still not getting water dispensed. I know have to wait until Monday to call in the company. so installing itself has been a little stressing, when I thought bottle-less would of been so much better, and it so is with less waste but this installation has been stressful. Just wanted to share this unless u have a handy man at home you will be fine.
Cannot figure out how to set up and no manuals available. No videos. Going to try customer support avenues and increase stats after that but the manual is TERRIBLE. Not easy to follow at all.
ran great for the first few weeks and very easy to use. Started running very slow to no water supply within the past week.
After 9 months the unit started making loud noises while cooling and the cold water wasn't cold. They did replace it but with a different unit that has less convenient buttons. I'm concerned that the new on will die in 9 months with no warranty.
Water cooler has already stopped cooling the water. Even after sitting overnight, the water was room temp in the morning.
