There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It was important for us to purchase something that would actually filter water, because we didn't want to have to lug bottles to/from the store or subscribe to a bottled water delivery service. I searched high and low for a dispenser that had good filtration, multiple temperature options, and (importantly!) wouldn't require us to hook it up to a water line. This was a MUCH harder task than I initially anticipated; nothing had everything we needed. So we waited. Aaaaaand waited. Our PUR dispenser begged for mercy. And then, one fateful day, I found it... The Avalon holy grail!!
We've now owned this dispenser for 3 months, and it is an honorary member of our family. It's handsome. It's user-friendly. The drum it comes with is high-quality and easy to refill in my kitchen sink. It *does* get heavy when I have to carry it from the sink back to the dispenser, but the fact that it's bottom-loading is a huge saving grace! The low growling noise it makes when we dispense water is a small price to pay, IMO, for clean, great-tasting water. It otherwise is a very quiet machine!
I would recommend splurging for the overpriced Avalon stand (sold separately), as it makes the dispenser sit at a very convenient (taller) height, *and* elevates the machine itself from the ground, which I appreciate from a cleanliness standpoint. (We have a dog. She sheds. 'Nuff said.)
Of course I hope it lasts us many great years, but even if it doesn't, I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It's that good, and worth the $200ish pricetag!
Even though the unit came with an empty bottle to use (of course how to fill it would be difficult), I purchased a few 4 Gal bottles of purified water from the local supermarket. I use these and just refill with reverse osmosis water. The collar for the probe assembly doesn't lock tightly onto the bottom and the assembly seems a little taller than the bottle. But it works just fine and the notification comes on when the bottle is empty.
Two issues with the item though ...
1. The unit can be noisy when dispensing water. It is rather loud when you're standing next to it, but it's not noticeable in other rooms in the house.
2. BIGGEST PROBLEM ... the filters. They were rather difficult to install and IMPOSSIBLE to remove. The indicator came on and I was going to try to replace. They will NOT come off. I did find that I can just reset the filter light inside the door panel so it's not a big deal ... yet. ALSO, there are some useless hooks to place the filters along the wire mesh at the back of the unit. They will not hold securely.
I hope this review helps others because it is a great unit and I'm enjoying using it immensely.

Cold water is cold, but it could be colder - I love my ice water.
Setup was simple.
I don't know what other people are talking about with their "taste of plastic". Maybe it's the brand of water jugs they use. The taste is completely fine here.
I like that you can turn off the water heater and water cooler individually to save power if you only use one of the features.
The build quality is fine. What you would expect for a 300$ CDN product IMO. Doesn't feel cheap nor premium.
It is a slightly noisy when the cooler is running, so don't put it in a room you want complete silence (like a home theater room). The pump makes a little noise too but it doesn't run for long so it's fine.
I will be moving it to my office once I empty my current jug so I can shut the office door when I'm watching a movie.
We have been using it for 3 whole months now, and let me tell you, we love it. Absolutely no regrets. It is very quiet and the water actually comes out faster than the top loading models we’ve had.
There are switches in the back that let you choose to independently heat and/or cool the water, as well as a night light. We only use it for hot water as we drink a lot of tea (saves having the hassle and time of using a kettle). The water is very hot and perfect for hot beverages.
Since we don’t use it, we choose to keep the cold button turned off. But for the purposes of the review, we turned it on and I can say that the water is chilled equally well.
When the water bottle is empty, there is a red flashing light on the front.
Another small but additional benefit to me is the red hot-water unlock button. I’ve had previous models where the button is poorly designed and is almost adult-proof let alone child-proof. This one is well made and slides over a lot better.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that it looks great too!
This cooler gets a solid 5/5 thumbs up and I highly recommend it.
