I wanted a bench top water dispenser / cooler and after looking at several products, I decided to try this one. Here’s some tips which may explain some of the other reviews and help get you going:1) The instructions say to soak the filter and wash the plastic container first – don’t ignore this or you will get a plastic taste. I made this mistake and only washed the top container, not realising the big BOTTOM container comes off too. Wash both considerably under HOT water for a while, then wash again with cold water, dry the outside only of the containers and put back together.2) If you are still getting a plastic taste, you can put a sterilising tablet (what you use to clean baby bottles, home brew etc) in the bottom tray. Leave for a while then run it through the internal pipes – keep the machine unplugged when you do this. Once done, I’d clean the tray again and run fresh water through the internal pipes about 5 times or so to remove any risidual.3) The machine will work without power – just press the button, water comes out at ambient temperature. The power is needed to chill the water only.4) The machine will make a little bit of noise when it is chilling the water – this last about an hour for me. The noise isn’t loud at all, no more loud than a normal fridge in the kitchen so doesn’t bother me at all. Once the water is cold, the blue light comes on the front and the chiller turns off anyway.5) It seems to store plenty of water ice cold. I was worried it may only give a glass then the rest of the water would have to be cooled but there seems to be loads.6) As some other reviewers mention, you have to hold the button in for the water to come out – if you have slower flow of water, you need to fill it up – it’s gravity fed so there’s no pump (thus working without electric) so if you don’t have a lot of water in the upper tank, the flow will be a bit slower but with the tank over half full, the flow is acceptable.7) The device is not plumbed in at all – you fill the top of the machine using a jug or similar. There is no waste, it has a drip tray.8) Water capacity is good – can store a lot of water so you won’t be refilling all the time.9) Filter needs changing every month but these seem pretty cheap and it’s easy to change them – they fit on the bottom of the top plastic tray. You push it in slightly off the oval alignment then turn clockwise to lock in. To remove, turn anti clockwise and pull down.I hope the above is useful for people – I’m impressed with my machine but takes a bit of setting up with running the water through so be patient. Once it’s done though, it’s a doddle and filter changing is really easy so don’t have to go through the setup again.I had looked at other brands of water filters which are plumbed in such as Virgin Pure but the price of the machine is ridiculous and then it’s either £200 a year to replace the filter (2 each year, every 6 months) and UV thing (once a year) or you can sign upto their plan thing which is £13 a month – no thanks! This machine does a similar job for a fraction of the cost.For the manufacturer, things could work on for future models:1) Option to automatically fill a glass so don’t have to keep button held down2) Higher clearance between output nozzle and drip tray so it fits a larger pint glass under it3) Option to adjust temperature – it’s ice cold but some may want it colder or slightly milder perhaps

Great product, does exactly what it says. Cool water at push of a button. Easy to use. Quite slow filling large glass or bottle.

I decided to buy this because my other machine I had got old and was used a lot. Definitely worth the money the build quality is better than my old one and its easier to clean looks neat in the kitchen. On the flavour subject it can taste a bit bland when its not had chance to cool I use the water machine at the gym and It tastes nicer and is a lot colder as its plummed in to the mains which Is the type of water machine I would ideally like but it would be to much hassle and costly but all in all If your particular like me and you like your water cold enough and pure then this one of best ones you can get though there is one other issue I have with it is it each time you use it it takes nearly an hour to get cold again where as the industrial ones stay cold throughout and don’t need refilling but for what I paid It’s a good buy.

A brilliant way to supply filtered tap water at a fantastic price . No more fizzy drinks now just cold water pump easily from a machine and so simple to use . Set up took a little time but worth it
