Avanti : WDP75 Hot and Cold Water Dispenser With Storage - White Review

Avanti : WDP75 Hot and Cold Water Dispenser With Storage - WhiteWhile it took a while to get here, my husband agrees with me that the Avanti Hot and Cold Water Dispenser was well worth the wait.

After our old dispenser gave up the ghost after twenty plus years, we looked at each other and said, 'what do we do now?' We tried shopping for another one locally but nobody had what we were looking for and we were, quite frankly, spoiled.

What do we like about the Avanti?

As the poet put it, let me count the ways.

First of all, because of its Energy Saver feature, the Avanti consumes less electricity than our old dispenser which ran constantly. It was also noisy. The Avanti, in contrast, is very quiet.

The Avanti features a neat little safety lock on the hot water faucet, which the old dispenser did not The storage space in the bottom, while it doesn't keep anything cold, is quite handy.

The Avanti's white plastic square design looks clean and nice. Our old brown metal dispenser did not. Also, unlike some of the round dispensers we looked at, the Avanti is not 'tippy'. Since it sits next to the kitchen doorway and a heavy traffic area, this was a real concern.

We also looked at dispensers that pumped from the bottom as well as the reviews and decided they were not for us.

The only CON was a chemical, almost musty, taste in the water for a few weeks after we got the Avanti, but that is now gone.

All in all, we are extremely pleased with the Avanti. It's much, much better than our old dispenser and we definitely give it 5 stars.

LG : LK45C CustomCube Automatic Ice Maker Review

LG : LK45C CustomCube Automatic Ice MakerThe ice maker is very nice. It works and works very well. The included instructions didn't seem to match what my fridge had, but it was close enough that I was able to improvise.

The only gripe is that the sound it makes when the water runs to fill is very loud and drives my wife nuts. We're used to the sound of the dropping cubes, but we've never heard another one make this much racket when filling up. It's not a big deal though, once the tray is full, it doesn't fill anymore until it needs to make more cubes.

Haier WDNSC145 Convertible Freestanding Full-Size/Tabletop Water Dispenser Review

Haier WDNSC145 Convertible Freestanding Full-Size/Tabletop Water DispenserThis is my first Haier product.I've had this for a couple weeks and it has been working great.When you first turn the cold water switch on, it takes about 10-15 mins to get cold, but if you leave it on it's cold all the time.Same with the hot water, it takes about 5 minutes or so to heat up.

One problem i've noticed (minus the one star) is that when you have both hot and cold water switches on, both the hot water and cold water compete for ready access.This is not a big deal, so I usually just leave one switch on a time (usually cold since it gets the majority usage).

As far as heating and cooling quality, when it's hot, it's SUPER hot.When it gets cold, it's cold enough to condensate your glass, but not ice cold - still refreshing!

UPDATE:Here's something else I wanted to add.Unlike other water coolers, this one does not run constantly cold or hot. If you have the cold switch on, it will keep recooling the water in cycles (you'll see the cold water light go on every 20-30 mins or after use).Same with hot water.If you have the switch on, it will reheat the water in cycles (every 20-30 mins or after use).Another minor annoyance (-.5 stars), but again, it's tolerable.

Updated rating:3.5 out of 5 stars

Product Description:
Keep clean, refreshing drinking water readily available throughout the day with this two-piece freestanding water dispenser, which converts from a full-size to a tabletop unit by simply removing the base. The unit provides red and blue spout handles that make it easy to quickly differentiate between hot and cold water temperatures, and a child-safety feature on the hot-water faucet keeps little hands safe from burns (a tab must be pushed while simultaneously pushing the handle down to dispense hot water). The water dispenser's hot-water option allows for everything from tea, hot cocoa, instant soup, and noodles--great for a work break or quick lunch. Enjoy cool drinking water on its own, or add it to flavored drink mixes for instant lemonade or other favorites on a warm summer day. Other details include a compressor cooling system, an LED power-indicator light for the hot and cold water, a low-water safety device, a bottom storage compartment with a removable shelf, side handles, a dust cover, and a removable drip tray for quick cleanup. Designed for use with a 2-, 3-, or 5-gallon water bottle, the UL-approved water dispenser measures 15-5/8 by 13-1/4 by 36-3/4 inches.
