- Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2024Style: DispenserVerified PurchaseI'm very happy with this purchase so far. It's a nice looking cooler that fit perfectly in the space I have. The temperature of the cold water is perfect for me although it may be too cold for some. I've only used the hot water once, for a cup of noodles, and it worked great and I'm looking forward to using it for hot tea this winter. The "room temperature" water is actually pretty cold, but it might be because I don't keep the hot water switched on unless I need it. If you want room temp water you can use the "hot water" with the heat turned off. The only issue that I've had so far is it can be a little noisy sometimes, but you can turn off both switches at night and it's perfectly quiet. I saw reviews that mentioned taller water bottles didn't fit under the machine so I bought the shorter of the 2 options that Walmart had and it fit fine (American Maid 5 gal) but I think there's plenty of space for the square stackable bottle they have.
09/18/24 - I've only had the machine a week and I'm aware of the other complaints I've seen others have. If I have any issues I'll be sure to update this review but so far it's all good.
10/07/2024 - After a month of use I'll still give this machine 5 stars but there are a couple of things that bug me. First is that the noise can get really annoying sometimes. It's okay when it's a consistent noise, but sometimes it's an inconsistent vibration and almost sounds like the machine is struggling. I have the machine close to my desk so I have to turn it off at times so I can get some work done. Luckily, the water stays cold for quite a while with the cold switch off. I turn it off at night and the water is still pretty cold when I grab a glass in the morning. The second thing that bothers me is the "water low" warning light. It's a really bright red flashing light that you can't turn off. No big deal unless you have the machine in your bedroom and only have one jug like I do. I have to unplug the machine to get any sleep. I'll probably have to void my warranty to disconnect this feature.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025Style: DispenserVerified PurchaseThe hot and cold are instant and the room temp spigot as well all work great for quick filling of canteens, thermostat, as well as regular glasses and mugs. So glad I gave up renting a dispenser...a real keeper !
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024Style: DispenserVerified PurchaseThis water dispenser is so easy to set up and looks so much better than the top loading water dispensers. We finally made the switch to a bottom loader, and it was well worth the cost. The buttons are easy to push and water flow is sufficient. It's nice the hot water has a child lock, and the room temp option is great. The noise isn't noticeable, and this is in a small office space.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2023Style: DispenserVerified PurchaseBought this for my aging parents who previously had a standing water cooler where the bottles had to be inserted up top and were starting to have a harder time lifting up the 5 gallon water bottles. I love the design of this cooler - it's beautiful, modernized and sleek. Installing 3 and 5 gallon water bottles is no hassle, you open the door to the lower compartment and insert the bottle (you have to remove any preinstalled caps from the bottle - no problem) and then insert the pump. Takes a few moments to cool (or heat) but once it's done it's basically ready to go. It's a real game changer especially for my parents who just have to insert the bottle in the lower compartment.
My only gripes with the apparatus are three things:
First, the sound of the pump is quite noticeable; even after you are done dispensing water, the pumping sound continues for a short while after. It really is not the worst thing in the world and I imagine that my folks are probably used to it by now, but it was the first thing I noticed considering our previous water cooler was pretty silent. But for the convenience of loading the bottle at the bottom instead of the top it is a worthwhile compromise.
Secondly, the nozzles dispensing the water suck. Actually, there are no nozzles, they are more like small "nubs". It's weird to describe but you can look at the pictures and see. The spouts are not all that noticeable, so if you are dispensing water, you have to kind of double and triple check that the opening of your cup or bottle is directly under the dispenser, which is annoying. I worry that I might miss and the water will fall into the tray. On top of that, the space for dispensing water is cramped, meaning that the distance between the nub spout and the grated drain basin is short. Like, why is that? I have a pretty standard sized water bottle and it does not fit in that space, so I end up having to tilt the bottle, which makes guessing where the spout is slightly harder. You would think they would have made a space that accommodates most water bottles. I do think they tried to accommodate but the space really is smaller than it appears in the photo. Again, it really isn't that much of a deal breaker, just an advantage the previous cooler had.
Finally, the labels on the panel with the indicator lights are confusing. The led lights are underneath three symbols; the left symbol with a snowflake, the middle symbol which is for hot steamy water, and the right symbol which indicates that it's time to get a new bottle when the water runs out. The led light lights up to indicate that the water is cooling or heating, so if you want the coldest cup of water possible for example, you dispense the water when the led is off. Led off means that the cold water is ready to drink. Usually, we think of lights as an indicator of things being ready, but that's fine. Maybe Brio wanted to save on the life of the bulb snd chose to turn off the light once the optimal cold (or hot) temperature is reached. The bigger problem though is that the Cold, Snowflake led light is on the left, and the button to dispense cold water is on the right. HUH?? Why not just put the Cold led indicator light to the right or put the cold water button on the left so that it would match the image on the front panel? I don't quite understand that. Seems like a very sensible thing to do. In any case, the buttons themselves indicate whether they are dispensing cold water (right button) or hot water (left button) or room temperature (middle) water, but I can easily see making the mistake by using the icons that are plastered on the front. I really do think they need to change this.
Otherwise, this is still a game changer product. I'm really happy with how its build and the overall feel of the product and I know my folks are more than grateful. For that alone, it's a top-notch purchase and would recommend anyone to pull the trigger if they are thinking about a bottom-loading cooler.
