Avalon Bottom Loading Water Cooler

Hot water is hot enough for green tea but nothing more.
Cold water is cold, but it could be colder – I love my ice water.

Setup was simple.

I don’t know what other people are talking about with their “taste of plastic”. Maybe it’s the brand of water jugs they use. The taste is completely fine here.

I like that you can turn off the water heater and water cooler individually to save power if you only use one of the features.

The build quality is fine. What you would expect for a 300$ CDN product IMO. Doesn’t feel cheap nor premium.

It is a slightly noisy when the cooler is running, so don’t put it in a room you want complete silence (like a home theater room). The pump makes a little noise too but it doesn’t run for long so it’s fine.
I will be moving it to my office once I empty my current jug so I can shut the office door when I’m watching a movie.

The drip tray was missing and sold knowingly sold as such impossible to find correct one as all out of stock but continued to sell
Incomplete goods very very disappointed

This is nice looking and works well. I like that it’s flat on top and I can place a plant on it. Just wish it fit bigger cups and that the lighting was better. Makes noise after using….. but that’s not a deal breaker for me. Time will tell how it holds up. I had bought a used Whirlpool at the thrift store and that lasted about 12-15 years. Hopefully, I get the same out of this one.

Best part is the unit works great, it also has a great design. Simple to use, quiet and hot, cold or room temperature water ready.

This is perfect, water comes out at a crisp 38 degrees from the cold side. I didn’t expect it to work this well. The hot water measured at 182 degrees. This is cheaper than some other machines and produces colder water. Definitely the best bang for your buck.
The box was severely damaged by the shipping company resulting in damage to the dispenser itself which consisted of a large unsightly scratch on the front of the machine. Everything else worked fine though and we decided to live with it instead of trying to get another. Loading the new bottles is easier than the upright dispensers and takes up less space due to the compact size.
It accepts any 3 or 5 gallon bottles and we actually initially used 1 gallon bottles until we got the large ones. I’ve used both culligan and primo bottles in this. Primo water seems to taste better.
I will update after more use if any issues arise.

We have been using spakletts for many years and finally decided to buy our own water machine to save money in the long run. This dispenser has everything we wanted, cold, hot and cool settings, a light and bottom loading. It’s perfect! Very easy to install, much quieter than the sparkletts dispenser, water flow is nice and fast. It looks really nice too!

One day I decided to buy a water dispenser after my osmosis filter at the kitchen sink failed miserably! It was a top loader and hard to place 5 gallon jugs on top of it. But the water was filtered and tasted better than most city and mud district water. After 5 wonderful years my water dispenser started building up a metallic taste that was awful. I did my research and found the BEST 2024 water dispenser on Amazon! It is a bottom loader so no more heavy lifting 5 gallon bottles (42 lbs)! There is a tube that uses suction to pull the water up. It works extremely well. This dispenser has hot and cold temperature along with room temperature. Summer is almost here! But what really caught my eye on this product was the self cleaning feature that prevents build up and bacteria! Amazing!!! Every home should have this! No more horrible tasting water from your pipes!
