Clean Before First Use to Avoid Plastic Taste

A full cleaning cycle with citric acid crystals is recommended immediately before first use. Without this step, everything dispensed will taste like volatile plastics. This important step is not mentioned in the provided instructions. Once cleaned, the unit performs as expected. Overall, a solid choice with one notable caveat for new buyers.

Pros
  • + Performs as expected after cleaning
Cons
  • − Requires immediate cleaning with citric acid crystals before first use
  • − Plastic taste if not cleaned
  • − Cleaning requirement not mentioned in instructions

Strong Plastic Taste and Constant Noise

Water from this dispenser has a strong plastic taste that persists even after removing the plugs and draining the unit twice, which wasted five gallons of water. The unit also makes continuous gurgling, swooshing, and bubbling noises day and night. It is being returned, and free FedEx pickup is available for the return.

Pros
  • + Free FedEx pickup for return
Cons
  • − Plastic taste in water
  • − Draining twice did not fix taste
  • − Wastes water
  • − Constant gurgling and bubbling noise

Unique Closed-System Water Cooler and Ice Maker

This water cooler and ice maker uses five-gallon jugs in a closed system, making it suitable for apartments without a direct water line to a fridge ice maker. It produces ice on demand and does not leak or impart strange tastes. The machine is somewhat energy-hungry, particularly when the hot water switch is left on, and it was noisy and gurgling for the first 24 hours before settling down after a few ice-making cycles. Overall a good but pricey machine.

Pros
  • + closed-system design
  • + works with five-gallon jugs
  • + ice on demand
  • + no leakage
  • + no strange taste
Cons
  • − energy-hungry
  • − noisy and gurgling initially
  • − pricey
