GREAT EXCEPT FOR KINKS

I broke the bank to buy my dispenser and of course faults will come over time (aka 5-6 yr). I always wanted one that gave hot water and cold. Also love having a jug that loads beneath; that helps if you're a weak senior! But, firstly, you find the shiny aluminum bottom is a challenge to make look clean. (2)The jug is hard to position to prevent a warning of Beep Beep Beep if it's imperfectly positioned- annoying! (3)My renter set his pressure cooker atop eventually cracking the plastic top surface. A machine taking a jug of less than 40 lb would be a blessing to a less-than-macho senior man such as myself. Awkward, eh?

This water cooler is a handy feature in our kitchen. The best aspect is of course the fact that it's a bottom load. The hot and cold features are an asset. I love the stainless steel that is modern and sleek looking. It cleans beautifully and I've never had a leaking problem. We keep the water reader low so that we only replace the bottle when it's almost complete. An alarm will sound when it's time to change the bottle. Works great for our family. I highly recommend!
