Great Investment for Hot Weather
The initial water taste was unpleasant and worsened when ice melted and recycled, resembling UV-treated water. After switching to alkaline water, the taste and smell issues disappeared. The ice became clear instead of slightly white. Overall, this is considered a great investment for hot weather.
Pros
- + clear ice
- + great for hot weather
Cons
- − initial unpleasant taste with certain water
- − taste worsens when ice melts and recycles

Good performance with a few design flaws
After a couple of months of use, the lack of room-temperature water is not an issue, as cold water mixed with a bit of hot water works fine. Two design flaws stand out: a light in the center of the machine serves no purpose for seeing the water level or locating the dispenser outlets, and it is difficult to see where water comes out, leading to missed attempts when filling a glass.
Pros
- + cold and hot water can be mixed for room temperature
Cons
- − center light is useless for seeing water level or outlets
- − difficult to see where water dispenses, causing missed attempts

All-in-One Dispenser Beats Separate Ice Machines
This water dispenser combines hot and cold water with ice in a single unit, replacing separate ice machines that tend to get dirty, require constant cleaning, and jam. The ice is clean, consistent, and free of odd tastes, and it does not clump or jam. Setup is minimal—just plug it in—which made moving into a new place easier. The upgrade from an older model is considered a major improvement.
Pros
- + hot and cold water plus ice in one machine
- + clean, consistent ice with no weird taste
- + ice does not clump or jam
- + minimal setup, just plug it in

Metallic Taste Persists Across Multiple Replacements
Three consecutive units produced water with a metallic taste, even after cleaning with vinegar and water and food-grade citric acid as instructed. Water straight from the 5-gallon bottle tasted fine, pointing to the cooler as the source. Customer service responded quickly and sent replacements, including a different model, but the issue remained. The purchase is now outside the return window, leaving an expensive item that no one in the office will use.
Pros
- + Responsive customer service
- + Quick replacement shipments
Cons
- − Metallic taste in dispensed water
- − Issue persisted after cleaning
- − Problem across three units
- − Unable to return after four weeks
