A4BLWTRCLR Bottom Loading Water Cooler Water Dispenser - 3 Temperature Settings - Hot, Cold & Room Water, Durable Stainless Steel Cabinet, Bottom Loading - UL/Energy Star Approved

Hot– Heats up quick. From room temperature to scalding in about 10 minutes. A ‘how hot?’ temperature dial would be preferred. [Perhaps for the next-level-up version, rather than this: the basic model?] As default-set, I need to wait 10 minutes for my tea to cool enough to drink. Using a kettle, I do not let it get that hot: do not want to burn my tea-leaves. Cold– Yeah, it is cold. But, I don't like cold water. So I never turn on Cold, unless I am expecting guests who might prefer that. [Which I then shut everything off again when they've gone.] Perhaps it is a bit too cold? Perhaps a ‘how cold?’ dial would be pertinent, for the next-level-up version? Again, I am not expecting perfection/exceptional at the cost of ‘cheapest available.’ Temperature Conflict– All the internal tanks are interconnected within the fountain. [They all drain into Cold: but perhaps that's just the slope of my floor dripping it that direction, when powered off?] So, if Hot is left on long enough (3+ hours), the heat starts seeping over into Cool and Cold. Hot left always-on requires Cold to then be always-on too: lest you want your Cool to be warm, and your Cold to be tepid. [Leave it to engineers to expect end-users to turn (and leave) everything on, as the only way for it to work ‘properly.’] So then I must question whether that means Hot and Cold are constantly fighting over temperature, the battleground being within Cool, wasting how much electricity? Noise– I keep the entire thing Powered Off most of the time, preferring my drinking water at room temperature. I have the fountain wired to a switch, turn it on only when the water is running low, to prevent hearing the pump run every time I get a drink. It is not terribly loud, but unnecessary to hear. As it stands, given the volume of water the internal tanks store, I only need to power on the pump every third day or so for my drinking water. [Takes 90-120 seconds to refill.] If left on, there's always a high-pitched ‘eeeee’ noise. I suspect that would be the pump keeping itself primed. In a busy house or office nobody would hear it, but here alone in the woods, where one can hear everything, the sound grates on the nerves. Potential Problem– This fountain keeps pumping nothing, does not auto-shut-off, when the water-bottle runs out. The longest I left it ‘huffing air’ was 20 minutes, just to see if it would stop, as I didn't want to burn out the motor. So, what happens if you get a drink on the way out the door in the morning and thereby it runs out of water? Will it keep pumping nothing all day? I suspect that would kill it. Overall– Excellent. Looks classy. Works well for what it was designed. Five Stars. Would buy again, recommend to others.

I purchased Nov 2025 and my machine is in excellent working condition. I have no complaints and I’m happy I purchased. Worth every penny. Looks classy and eliminated the half drunken bottles throughout my home.

Edit: The manufacturer contacted me and offered to replace the water dispenser at no cost. It promptly arrive in excellent condition. The dispenser works well, including hot and cold water. Perhaps the one I had had a fluke and this one will last a lot longer. Overall, great customer service and I believe they will do right if their product doesn’t work as expected. The unit's thermostat stopped working, and the water tank has continued to freeze almost two years after purchase. Conveniently, the manufacturer only offers a one-year warranty. This means we can only use hot and regular temperature water. Thankfully, the unit has a switch to turn off the cold water, but it's disappointing that we can't use the cold water; otherwise, it would freeze the tank, and the unit wouldn't dispense any water. They responded quickly to my inquiries but could only offer a $15 thermostat replacement for me to install myself or a 15% discount on a new unit. I have not yet decided whether to buy the replacement thermostat and install it myself or accept the idea that it won't dispense cold water. I am certain I do not want to buy a second one because I am afraid it will break again.

I purchased an Avalon A4BLWTRCLR Bottom Loading Water Cooler Water Dispenser in 2021 or 2022 and have been using it regularly since then. Unfortunately, for the past two to three years, the unit has been repeatedly tripping the circuit breaker in my home, sometimes as often as every other day. To rule out any issues with the electrical supply, I tested the dispenser using multiple outlets and circuits throughout the house, but the same problem continues to occur. Based on this troubleshooting, I am concerned that the dispenser may have developed an internal electrical fault or other defect. In addition to being extremely inconvenient, the repeated breaker trips raise serious concerns about the safety and reliability of the unit. What makes this experience even more disappointing is the response I received from Avalon customer service. When I contacted them for assistance, my concerns about the electrical issue were not properly addressed. Instead of investigating the problem or offering meaningful support, they attempted to sell me a new unit. Given the potential safety implications of a product that repeatedly trips circuit breakers, I expected much better customer service and a genuine effort to resolve the issue. Overall, I am very disappointed with both the product and the customer support experience. A water dispenser should not repeatedly trip breakers, and a company should stand behind its products when customers report potential safety concerns. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this product. DO NOT BUY THEIR UNIT.

Four stars was given because it only lasted 2 years before it broke down- the cold water dispenser stopped working out of the blue. I purchased a second one because of the reasonable price, and it worked well for the 2 years that we had it. However, if it breaks down again, I most likely will NOT buy another one. Easy to install, temperatures are as expected, and it isn’t too noisy when cooling the water when it’s not in use.

I do not regret this purchase at all! Every day I appreciate the convenience this brings to my home! Unpacking was a piece of cake. and it was pretty much ready out of the box. I ran a few cycles of plain water (and not my good filtered water) to get the "plastic" taste to wear off. then i started using my "good" water jugs. the hot comes out piping hot and the cold is cold! I love that it is bottom loading! No need to be lifting those heavy 5 gallon jugs anymore! The water pours out fast! I can fill my 40oz water bottle in seconds. it blends perfectly with my kitchen decor as well and has a small footprint especially since i am in an apartment and have limited space! I have had no issues with it whatsoever. changing the water jug is easy and i love the night light for those middle of the night water runs. and i also love the red light that pops on to alert that the water jug is near empty. I will say that when the tanks are in the heating or cooling stage it does make a humming noise that may be loud to some people. but for me i don't mind it because i already have a deep freezer and air purifier making noise so it just blends in as white noise to me.

I realize there are like a "million" reviews for this, but I had to let everyone know I have had this since AVALON Bottom loading Water Cooler since 2020!!!! It is STILL functioning perfectly well! I do not leave the cold nor hot switches in the rear of the unit on , I only turn them on when I need to. The water stays HOT at 150 degrees for at least 4 hours (maybe longer, I stopped checking after 4) and it stay COLD for about 3-4 hours!!!!! So there’s no need to leave the switches on all day! I LOOOVE that about this AVALON water dispenser! ❤️ This has helped my unit last this long. It cools down water within 2 -7 minutes to very, very cold, and heats up in about the same time frame. This is a huge space saver because I don't have to have my kettle out on the counter anymore for quick hot water. noor do I want to use my microwave oven for heating water--or or that matter, anything. Not a fan of microwaves that suck nutrients out of water and food . I have had ZERO leakgae, zero issues with my unit. I love this thing so much, i got the black one. donot place or store heavy items on top of it either. (Like cookbooks, etc) This would be a handy item in a home workshed or garage too for when the kkids are thrsty from playing outdoors (or do munchkins even play outside anymore in 20205 with IG and TT LOL?) ! Super easy to clean, I am so happy i found this in 2020. I live in CA and barely can survive here (COL) so I don't have a fancy rich people stainless steel refrigerator LOL with a water spigot. My back doesn't ache from doing it the Year 2000 way either where I would have to lift a 5 gallon jug up high to then pour my waer into the ceramic jug. Those days are gone, thanks to AVALON yay! ONE HUNDRED PERCENT HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We’ve been wanting one for our house to help drink more water for awhile, set up was easy. However, DONT PLUG IT IN RIGHT AWAY! ours came and it was upside down..oops! Just like a fridge it needs to sit 24-48 hours for the compressor. Let it sit 3-4 days, amazing cold water! We haven’t tried the hot yet. It was small enough to fit in my cramped kitchen with no issues though, not super bulky or heavy. Makes it easy to put in your house. No leaks so far but we shall see as we go!! But pro tip! Don’t plug it in right away!! Let it sit!! Welp here we are a few months later and so far this has been the best thing ever. My son has been drinking water like it’s life of death! Ramen and tea is super easy, I make cold brew instant in the morning for work and he makes flavored water for school and no fighting over ice or anything💜 best investment ever!

Be careful here. The warranty/guarantee does not apply to purchases outside the US and Canada.

Water doesn't cool, only hot and room. Hot is very hot which is great. Sent it for repairs and was told it's a compressor issue which is another AED 650 all in all. Really nice water cooler, sad that it doesn't actually cool water.

Excelente de los mejores si no es que el mejor

This works well, the hot is hot, the cold is cold, and the bottom loading aspect is perfect 👌 I did notice it was fairly noisy when cooling (i was expecting that based on other reviews mentioning it made some noise) but in a matter of minutes I was able to find the source of the rattling sound and was able to stop it with a piece of the packing material from inside the coolers shipping box. The cold water reservoir is wrapped in Styrofoam (as expected) and when the cooling motor was running there was a slight vibration of the reservoir which caused the Styrofoam to rub ever so gently on the chassis. So, with the 'top' panel removed i placed a 1/4 inch thickness of the blue foam from the packing box right on top of the Styrofoam reservoir housing and put the top back on. It required a bit of pressure to reclose the top, but that tiny bit of pressure was just enough to prevent the reservoir from moving during cooling and completely eliminated the vibrating noise... No complaints, the only time I 'know' its running now is when it makes a tiny click when the heating or cooling cycle starts... its quieter than my fridge or deep freeze by a long shot. Would buy again!

Received with wrong power supply 110V/60hz which is not suitable for Europe! Quality looks good in general and customer service team are very good.
