5.0 out of 5 stars It's everything we hoped for, June 5, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Avanti WDP75 Hot and Cold Water Dispenser (Kitchen)
While it took a while to get here, my husband agrees with me that the Avanti Hot and Cold Water Dispenser was well worth the wait.

After our old dispenser gave up the ghost after twenty plus years, we looked at each other and said, 'what do we do now?' We tried shopping for another one locally but nobody had what we were looking for and we were, quite frankly, spoiled.

What do we like about the Avanti?

As the poet put it, let me count the ways.

First of all, because of its Energy Saver feature, the Avanti consumes less electricity than our old dispenser which ran constantly. It was also noisy. The Avanti, in contrast, is very quiet.

The Avanti features a neat little safety lock on the hot water faucet, which the old dispenser did not The storage space in the bottom, while it doesn't keep anything cold, is quite handy.

The Avanti's white plastic square design looks clean and nice. Our old brown metal dispenser did not... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good value for money!, January 5, 2011

This review is from: Avanti WDP75 Hot and Cold Water Dispenser (Kitchen)
After reading the reviews I was not sure what to expect. But we are really happy with the water dispenser. It arrived in very good condition. No water leakage etc. We left it in upright position for 2 hours before the first use, and it worked ever since!
I agree with the previous reviews in all the positive aspects and to our biggest surprise, only the very first cups had the 'burned plastic' taste. After the fist 5 gallon bottle, the taste was completely gone. Thumbs up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons (and compared to GE), May 6, 2012
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Avanti WDP75 Hot and Cold Water Dispenser (Kitchen)
I spent a long time trying to find the best water dispenser in this lower-end price range, and I finally decided on the Avanti WDP75. I had two GE water dispensers for 8 years, one was a higher priced stainless model with digital features, mini frig, etc, and the other a white model similar in price and features to this Avanti. So my comparison is against the GE model that sells in Home Depot for about $120.
Pros:
Very Quiet operation.
Energy Star feature: this was important to me, but it's hard to know for sure how much electricity it consumes. I do not use the hot water, so I keep that turned off. The unit shows when the chilling cycle goes on, and it is not constant, so I believe the unit is energy efficient. I was happy that the bottom is not a mini-frig, since that was a waste of electricity, and I found that the refrig area got a musty smell from moisture.
The cold water is a perfectly chilled temperature, not as ice-cold as the $300 digial GE model, and that... Read more

    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Ragalta RWC-190 White Thermo Electric Hot and Cold Water Cooler (Kitchen)
    this was a good buy. Keeps water cold and hot component works well also. you do not have to take cap off water bottle cause there is a spiking apparatus that will spike a hole which is cool and avoid spillage. Purchased three, my brothers and sister wanted one for their homes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love It!!, November 11, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Ragalta RWC-190 White Thermo Electric Hot and Cold Water Cooler (Kitchen)
    I love this little water cooler. No more contacts with any water companies for me!! Keep my water cold and my water hot if I want it hot. Though to save energy I don't have the hot water side turned on. Yes, there are two switches in the back for the hot and cold. Or leave it totally off for room temperature water.

    Love the little cup hider on the bottom as well. Have recommended this to several people.

    I bought this water dispenser because of the price. However, I expected more for 89 bucks plus shipping. Anyways, here are the good the bad and the ugly of this product...
    THE GOOD..
    &hot water is hot enough to enjoy coffee, but not scolding hot that will give you 3rd degree burns. However, if you like your cofee boiling hot, then this is not a plus for you.
    &Light, can carry with one hand (But with lightness comes warm water).

    THE BAD
    & too short.. the water dispenser is at my waist level and I'm not really that tall. I am an average 5'11 guy. if you are a midgit, however you'll enjoy this

    THE UGLY
    & Cold water is not cold at all (but is not room temperature either). I did not measure temperature, but I would say that if you get a room temperatura glass of water and put it in the ref for 15 or 20 minutes, you'll get the same result.
    & Water runs soooooo slowly. it takes about 14 seconds to fill a medium size glass of water. 14... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars good unit but has a few things I would like to see changed., February 14, 2012
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Iluminum Water Cooler Dispenser White Hot Cold Standing With Storage (Kitchen)
    Let me start with the good. Unit is well built metal with very little plastic. What is plastic the door and the upper part where the taps are but think there is metal behind it. Not cheap felling at all. 1power switches are on the back top left side easy to reach and turn on or off. The drip tray is nice it clips onto the unit easy to clean.

    ok the bad but noting I can not deal with just what I would change.

    not easy to clean the tank being the baffle can not be removed to wipe it out. But the user guide is wacky get there soon.

    Can not set the temp for cold. Well you could but there is a sticker ofer the switch that says do not adjust. Might this be done I do not know at all.

    The inside of the storage is small plastic but works.

    Unit is short over my old unit.

    The user guide. no info how to clean it or replace a tap if needed. This guide could use more info on basic cleaning.

    I said short let me give you the... Read more

    1.0 out of 5 stars Overpowering Chlorine Taste Mars This Product, April 27, 2012
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Iluminum Water Cooler Dispenser White Hot Cold Standing With Storage (Kitchen)
    I was very disappointed with this unit. It's loud and seems to run very often to keep its hot and cold water reservoirs at the right temp. Worse, those reservoirs seems to be exceptionally small. If I were to pour a 12-oz glass of cold water, followed by an 8-oz glass, more often than not, the 8-oz glass would be room-temperature rather than cold. Sometimes it would actually be WARM. The amount of heat put off by the hot-water heater often warmed the entire top of the tank, including the water in the bottle. (Note also: the description is extremely vague about whether or not a bottle is included - it is not. Luckily I had one already. My water bottle was fitted with a screw-on cap that limited how much water could gush out of the bottle at a time. Because the bottle receptacle is fairly small and the top of the unit is fairly broad, I don't know if it would be possible to get a bottle into place without making a giant mess unless you had such a cap on your bottle. My one attempt... Read more

    The item was delivered in a timely manner and meets all advertised specifications. The height was excellent being that I am my wife both have some disabilities and lifting a 5 gallon bottle of water can be difficult at times. We are enjoying this device and recommend it for others.
