Avalon A3BLK Self Cleaning Bottom Loading Water Cooler Dispenser, 3 Temperature-UL/Energy Star Approved-Black Stainless Steel, 5 Gallons

Absolutely LOVE this cooler!!! It's stylish and quiet!!! Love the self cleaning aspect too. Very easy to set up and enjoy!!!! Water is cold and refreshing!!!! Not using the hot water option now but come winter I will be. Love it!!!

So far it’s been great. Assembly was simple. Noise level? Have not noticed. Hot water is hot, cold water is cold. For the money it’s a great buy. And looks more expensive then the other brands. Hot and Cold water came out 15 minutes after install. Update: my unit stopped cooling. The pump was still working, hot water was still hot. The Snowflake light was on. I contacted Avalon cause it states to do so. When I did, they told me I needed to contact Amazon since it was fulfilled by Amazon. “Kinda contradicts” what they say on large stickers on the water dispenser. Amazon was great to replace the unit and easy to work with. Thank you Amazon. So this is my second water dispenser in less 5 months of ownership.

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.

This broke after 1.5 years. The water line freezes so the water can't dispense. I hired someone to try to fix it and you have to unplug and plug it in over and over to get line to un-freeze. Then it just totally stopped working one day. It's an absolute piece of crap. It's sad they are building products to just end up in garbage dump instead of something that works many many years.

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.

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

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!

I bought this for a good friend of mine who was just diagnosed with cancer. She was drinking tap water for years and never drank enough but now that I got her this dispenser, she finally drinks enough water. She loves that it has the hot setting so she can have tea & you can turn on and off via the switch in the back so it won’t use as much electric if you don’t need it. She said setup was simple and she has had zero issues with it (she’s had it about 3 months now.) I’ve used it whenever I go over to her house and the noise is not bad at all. It also fills pretty quickly. I’m actually purchasing one for myself because of how much she likes hers.

Excellent product. Cool, not so cool and hot water, all in one. Easy to change bottle. Works great and looks good. Be aware that it can be noisy when it heats the water, but it's only a short, but regular, cycle a few minutes.

Mala calidad y hace ruido

We've had ours for a few months now and generally we love it! This water cooler is amazing for the fact that it's bottom loading, it's saved us a lot of struggles. My only "complaint" is that it gets quite loud when dispensing cold water. I highly recommend this unit if you're someone who lives alone and struggles to carry heavy bottles!

If I had a do over, I would NOT buy this water dispenser again as it will not last (12-13 months for mine). It constantly ran day and night , it’s real noisy and it ended up not being able to dispense cold water which is the main reason I purchased it. Save yourself a future headache and look around.

The thing started pouring water all over my floor. I opened the main chamber it had cut wires and disconnections I couldn’t fix. Absolute garbage. Don’t waste your $500 on this dollar store item. Returning it. Will try one more time to see if it was a one off. If it was I’ll edit my review. It’s taken a month for me to even get my refund which is infuriating. To be continued… Okay so, I’m pretty sure the first one they sent us was a return (understandably, it was garbage). None of the individual parts had been wrapped, the box was damaged, and obviously it was very broken. Upon receiving the refund (which took a FULL MONTH btw, heads up), we decided to give this cooler one more change. This one came in a pristine box that was shrink wrapped, the whole thing had all its individual parts wrapped (the drip tray was wrapped and in the box, whereas the first one it was loose in the chamber where the water goes. The tube that goes in the water was wrapped). And it runs like a dream! Super cold and hot water, virtually soundless (some slight vibrational sounds when refilling the chamber after use). Sleek and small. I’m really glad we decided to give this one more chance! I’m not impressed we were sent a return the first time, so I’m still not super happy with the company, but I am happy with the product now that we’ve received a functional one.
