Igloo Top Loading Water Cooler – Hot & Cold Dispenser – Sleek Black, Holds 3 & 5 Gallon Jugs, Child Safety Lock – for Homes, Kitchens, Offices, Dorms

The cold water is nice and cold and hot water hot enough for soup or tea. I have a suspicion that people who have a problem with the cold or hot water have not read directions. It says not to plug in before drawing water through hot side, and like anything with a compressor, it should just sit for at least 4 hours (I always let them sit over night) before turning on. This is because the liquid and gasses need to settle before they begin circulating or there may be bubbles in system, leading to poor circulation and poor performance. The hot water side can be damaged if operated without water. That being said, the unit is great. I removed the “splash guard” and use it with a zero water filter. Once again, read instructions. No need to manufacture a gasket with leftover foam and tape to make it work…. Just read. Hopefully it lasts because it are is nice having icy cold or steaming hot water on demand.

I absolutely love my water dispenser! Love that it has both warm and cold water. Yes, there’s no room temperature available but I’m happy with it. It doesn’t make a loud noise, easy to use and it’s rather fast as dispensing the water. The buttons make it easy to use and it looks great.

Dont regret buying this. Water gets hot and cold fast.

This is the biggest waste of time and money. The unit was step 100% correctly the back drain plug fully closed. We used it for less than 8 hours and it started leaking from the top. By the end of the day for some reason the entire top around the bottle was wet the drip pan was completely full and the floor was covered in water. When we took the bottle off to drain it and see what was wrong the drain plug was fully closed and now we cannot close it to get it to stop dripping. So it is inoperable now completely. We checked the bottle and there are no cracks in it. There was no water coming out of the bottle and the manufacturer packaged it without a box so if I want to return it I have to buy a box. Meanwhile it is absolutely unusable because after draining it the plug will not close tight enough to be water tight…. I will be buying a more expensive machine and using that packaging material to return this piece of crap. It’s too bad too because everyone in the office really like it til we found a gallon of water on the floor.

Can def make tea with the hot but I need ice for my cold water Not bad for the price compared to other dispensers

I'm very happy with this water dispenser all around. It produces cold water, it is quiet at night, durable and built well. It looks nice in the kitchen. The buttons are easy to press, but the hot/room temp buttons requires you to slide before you press so that littles can't get burned. I haven't used the hot water portion of it so I keep the hot off and use the room temp option often. I buy the jugs of water at Publix and return them for store credit for them to refilled.

My first one was good. Use it every day. But the heater element started to burn. Igloo replaced it no problem. Seconded one is working good !

I got this for my friend and she loves it
