  • when I received my cooler, box was damaged, but unit was fine.
Shipping by UPS was 3 days sooner than expected but UPS needs to be more careful with consumers orders. Box was damaged with large hole and crushed corner, but contents were fine. Cooler is sleek looking, and water is very hot. I did a finger test on hot water and OUCH. Be careful. The child safety latch on the hot water button was well thought out. Setup was very easy. Cold water is cold but doesn't seem to be as cold as my gallon jug in the fridge. I read reviews on everything before I buy it and bought this based on the good reviews on Avalon's customer support and their reputation of repairing or replacing a defective or damaged product. The cooler cabinet could be a little taller but is fine the way it is. Avalon sells a 10-inch plastic molded base for the cabinet but at a little over $70 with tax and shipping that's somewhat pricey. I will be using some scrap 2x6, sanding, staining, and varnish then attach my base to the bottom of cooler. As far as the very few bad reviews. People need to understand that anything manmade is subject to fail and at some point, and it will. If it is bad right out of the box or 6 months down the road it appears that Avalon will make it right. I'm impressed with the looks and functionality of this cooler and giving a 5 Star rating , higher if I could. I recomend this product to anyone. ... show more

  • Will never buy a top loading water bubbler again
So let me start with the obvious this bottom loader is a game changer no more lifting 5 gallon jugs Now its a simple slide in bottom compartment, this is huge. Also with old top loader looking at the bottle day in and day out kept reminding me of the office water cooler who needs that The look is smooth and contemporary (I ordered Black) looks like a piece of furniture not a water cooler The top is flat and you can put flowers pictures or another decoration you may wish that fits your style . Now for the people who complain about it being noisy... well when its in "suction" mode necessary due to its bottom feed, it makes noise for about 10 seconds maybe a few more seconds depending on how big of a container you are filling but honestly it is quiet 98% of the time I have never owned a watercooler that didn't make noise in cooling mode I was concerned when i read the reviews complaining about noise but honestly i did not find that to be remotely true It has a light to remind you to change the bottle and that literally takes 20 seconds and a constant cleaning (ozone) mode I love this purchase so far and would recommend without hesitation ... show more

  • STOPPED WORKING AFTER 16 MONTHS!!
***Update- we received an email from the company advising us to let the water defrost...that was it. So we did and then drained the water. Put it back together and the cold water still did not work. After 3 days it stopped working again so we bought a different brand from Sam's Club. For this poor customer service and breaking again, I would NOT recommend purchasing. I was so excited to order this dispenser and LOVED it!! However, all of a sudden the cold water stopped dispensing, then the cool water stopped dispensing. Decided to do a drain of the system and could NOT remove the watertank cover. I peak inside and all the water inside is FROZEN SOLID!! Looked at reviews today and I see it's common for this model. Send an email to Avalon but from what I read, they do nothing. I guess I won't be purchasing another Avalon product! I will update my review if they stand up for their product with integrity and either replace or partially reimburse. ... show more

  • RESERVING 5 STAR REVIEW...
The first unit I ordered looked great, unpacked it, set it up, installed water bottle and immediately water ran out onto the floor. Some investigating revealed that the outlet elbow to the fill tank was broken off the pump. Contacted Amazon and they IMMEDIATELY made it right. Scheduled pick-up from my house and had new one delivered 3 days later. I will say, the 2nd unit was packed the same except it came in an additional box. The first unit did not look to be repackaged, but the unit was not packed in any additional boxing. I am a little bummed that the in bottle water suction straw is not the same. The 1st one had an offset metal straw, the 2nd one has a straight plastic one. Not a deal breaker. So far, seems to be working perfectly. NIce and quiet, keeps water nice and cold, hot works fine. I'm hoping it will last several years. ... show more

  • Convenient & Efficient – Great Self-Cleaning Water Dispenser
The Avalon A3BLK self-cleaning bottom loading water cooler dispenser is a fantastic addition to my home. The bottom-loading design makes it so much easier to change water bottles, avoiding the hassle of lifting heavy bottles. The self-cleaning feature is a big plus, it ensures the system stays clean without extra effort. It cools and heats water quickly, and both the cold and hot settings work perfectly for refreshing drinks or hot tea. The dispenser is sleek and modern, fitting well into any kitchen or office space. Overall, it’s a reliable, easy-to-use water cooler that performs well and keeps things convenient. Highly recommend! ... show more

  • I prefer bottled water to faucet water and this is perfect
I love this baby!! My previous water cooler was a top load, and I find this to be very convenient because now I don't have to lift five gallon bottles. The cold water is very cold, the hot water is very hot. I'd like the fact that a red light flashes when the bottle is empty.

  • Best purchase ever!
As someone who LOVES cold water, and living in a city with our quality trap water, this purchase is easily my favorite. It's easy to set up, easy to use, and quiet! We haven't used the hot water feature very much yet as it's the hottest part of the summer, but the cold water option is tested regularly. You can turn off the hot and cold features individually. It takes about a half hour or so for the hot water to get hot enough for noodle soup, and about the same for the cold water to get cold. Once the "change soon" light comes on, we can usually get another 3 or 4 cups of water through the cold tap, but it's room temp at that point. Also, it's nice and quiet. It did in our living room next to the recliner, and we barely hear it working. We've had it for about 2 months, and still loving it. ... show more
