Work wonderfully so glad my sister found it and l purchased it ----- great investment. Keeping our drinks cool!

When I read that this water dispenser was able to dispense room temperature water, cold water, hot water, and make ice, I was skeptical that it would do any of those well since it's difficult to find any appliance like this that is that versatile and good quality (be sure and watch my video which demonstrates all the features). I was pleasantly surprised: this unit does them all quite well and it's an appliance that I thought would be a nice to have, but now that I've used it, I definitely love it and it's going to stay in the kitchen as my go-to source for all my hydration needs. Of course, it works fine for delivering fresh water at room temperature, but it also provides very cold water whenever you want it, or hot water that averages about 179 degrees Fahrenheit right into your cup, which is about the perfect temperature to brew tea and get the best flavor. The cold water reservoir stays incredibly cold because in addition to being cooled by the machine, it's designed in such a way that if there is ice in the ice bin, as it slowly melts, the melted cold water replenishes the cold water reservoir, which sits directly below the ice bin. And boy does this thing make ice! It drops 5 ice cubes every 7 minutes until the bin is full. I was shocked at how fast this thing can make those perfect little, bucket-shaped ice cubes. My wife and grandkids love those ice cubes because they all like to crunch ice and these cubes are just the right size and density to feed their ice munching habit. The ice is just soft enough that it won't damage teeth when it's crunched. Setup was very easy: it comes out of the box ready to use once the plastic wrap and tape that holds items down is removed. The instructions say to wipe down the inside of the machine, and especially the coolant coils, with a warm, wet cloth and to run several batches of cleaning solution (standard descaling solution, or white vinegar and water) through the unit prior to use, then run several glasses of liquid through each area of the dispenser to get rid of the descaling solution. It took us about a gallon of water to get rid of any descaling solution (we just use 1/3rd white vinegar to 2/3rds water). I received this dispenser through the Amazon Vine program in order to provide an honest review, and I truly thought I wouldn't keep it because I didn't think it would work well, and we have filtered water and ice in our refrigerator, but I love the crisp, clean flavor of the fresh spring water with no chemicals and no fluoride so much, that we're definitely going to keep this unit. I also want to point out that the instructions come with domestic customer support phone numbers to call, which is very unusual these days. This dispenser is an excellent value when you consider all the functionality that it provides, and it does it all quite well.

This review is for 3-in-1 Water Cooler with Ice Maker, Hot & Cold Top Loading, Water Dispenser for 5 Gallon Bottle, 33LBS/24H Ice Maker with Child Safety Lock, White. I ordered this cooler because 1) although I have a very nice ice maker in my full-size refrigerator, it's noisy and awkward to get ice from, and 2) I am interested in obtaining very quick hot water. (more about that later) This is my first of this type of water cooler/heater, so I wasn't aware of any issues to do with a five-gallon water bottle (other than I knew it would be heavy). My first thought is to tell you: the instructions say to use a "pierce-able" water bottle, but hubs and I didn't think that was terribly important. All you have to do is flip the jug over and get the neck in the hole quickly enough. Trust me: It's important. After I cleaned up the water that splashed all over the floor (a 40-pound bottle of water is hard to control even with a very strong husband in charge), my next step was to order some pierce-able/reusable bottle lids! Once this first 5 gallons is used, the pierce-able lids will go on, never to be left off again. Not to be deterred, I am using distilled water for my hot/cold water and ice supply, but that's only because I distill my own water at home, and the supply is essentially free. Last night when I tasted the ice and the water, I would say, though, that it's a bit flat tasting, a typical characteristic of distilled water. The advantage, of course, of using distilled water only is that the machine does not have to be de-scaled, and I live in the Arizona desert, where the water is so hard you could use it as a substitute nail. It's unreal how hard our water is. If you don't want to use distilled water for whatever reason, be sure to keep your instructions for how to descale the unit, as you will need to do that with fair frequency, or risk destroying your expensive machine. Now, to the function. Child lock: This is a nice safety device that really doesn't work all that well. The first thing I did after setting up the unit, and while admiring its sleek appearance, was to swipe over the top to remove a speck of "dust." Next thing I know, the child lock is OFF and water is going everywhere! I accidentally unlocked it myself. Now, we don't have children at home, so this is not going to be an issue for us, but if you have children, you might want to consider that the Child Lock is trivial to disengage and you can have water running everywhere without expecting it. If it's cold water, no big deal (relatively speaking), but if it's hot water, your child can suffer burns. THIS is the reason for my downgrading one star. (Additional note: I do think that once the button is un-pressed, the hot water flow stops. That's just not quick enough for me.) Cold water: Once the machine has a chance to cool down, cold water is easy and a no-brainer. It doesn't flow particularly fast, but you might not even notice that. At least it's chilled very nicely. Hot water: This was a bit of a disappointment, but only partially. There was no indication in the product description as to how quickly hot water can be dispensed. So, I was going on "hope," as I really wanted "instant" hot water. Unfortunately, it takes about 10-15 minutes after the "Hot" button is pressed to have fully hot water. But the GOOD thing is that until you turn off the "Hot Water" function, you continue to have "instant" hot water. I haven't yet tried to see how much reservoir of hot water is kept, but it stands to reason it will be a few cups at most. Ice Maker: the ad says 7 minutes, and I was left wondering why 20 minutes went by and I had no ice. Well, it was because I neglected to turn on the "Make Ice" function. Once I remedied that, sure enough, ice started coming out in about 7 minutes. The ice at first is just barely frozen enough to stay solid. After continuing to fill the ice compartment and sitting for a couple of hours, the ice is definitely much firmer. I was able to use it in my morning protein shake to chill it down and blend for a nice thick shake. Noise: there is very little. An occasional whir or glug. You can sometimes hear the ice drop, though it was in the next room to my bedroom and I didn't hear it all night. There's a silicone pad to help with ice-dropping noises, but it's only effective for that first few drops. After that, the ice drops on itself. Considering all the little noises that exist in our modern world...this is minimal. Other considerations: The machine is small, and unless you are a Lilliputian, you might find yourself practically on hands and knees scooping ice into your cup. You might also drop the ice on the floor, even if you use the little scoop (which is nice to have, by the way), so an absorbent, non-slip mat would be a good idea to place in front of your machine. Other than that, I actually love it! I do hope you will pay attention, though, and get a pierce-able water bottle and save yoursel

Very useful, perfect for ice lovers like me.

This is an incredible value and fine product for Ice Maker. Hot Water and Cold Water Dispenser was delivered within 3 days. This machine made more ice in 10 minutes as compared to my Commercial Ice Maker. You need this in your home

4/5. Day 1 review: It’s a little loud. I believe once the ice tray is full it will stop making ice so that I believe will help. It’s very small. A large glass cannot fit under the spout. Please note the photos where it shows the machine next to a child, it is actually that size. That being said I don’t see that being an issue. It dispenses water and makes ice so it’s still a 4/5. I wish they had insulated it a bit better, I’m not sure the ice is going to stay frozen and it is a bit loud. Concerned for night time, but not expecting perfection so not holding that against the machine. We can’t have a silent ice maker, they don’t exist. Fair design overall. Not regretting the purchase so far.

I had own a regular water dispenser but this one is so much better because of the ice! Definitely well made and nice ice production. Easy to set up and makes ice quickly and regulates the temperature well for cold and hot water. No leakage and nice water temperature. Looks nice and I raised it so that the ice was at a good height.

Awesome water dispenser and ice maker. We put in our shop so we don't have to go back to the house. It fits a 5 gallon good but we noticed . IDK if thats the machine or the bottle. Hot water dispenser gets very hot and we'll probably use during winter for hot chocolates. I also like to use the ice to fill bags that way we have ice ready to go.

Great working water dispenser unit machine that has a built-in ice maker. The dispenser has a good minimal look that is all black in color with some chrome trim & doesn’t require much assembly, it does state to let the machine standup right for 3 hours before plugging in. The machine is capable of dispensing 2, 3 or 5 gallon water containers & can also dispense cool water or dispense hot water selection as well. The ice machine can create a daily amount of 33lbs of ice that you can open the door to take some out as needed. The water dispenses well & depending on the quality of water you purchased will taste well, it is a good size water dispensing machine that does not take up much space & the price is an ok value given that this particular one will also create ice cubes at a low noise level.

I was certain I needed something different, but this system is simply top notch. There is so much to love about this machine. There are only a few systems out there that can provide a solution for ice, and that is a game changer for our small business. We now can serve ice water without a separate system, and I cannot explain how much that means to us. The easy puncture installation of the water jug is extremely easy - much easier than I remember from systems years ago. While yes, you do have to be able to lift it, once you do, the top of the machine punctures the top of the water bottle, so you don't make a mess. That may be a common feature nowadays, but I do like that feature and it is on this dispenser. Water heats up pretty quickly on this device. It’s not super-fast, but it is fast enough. Also, its passable hot. I have had other systems that provide hotter water, but this one is pretty good! There is a button locking system on it as well so young ones don't accidentally activate and burn themselves. The cool water system is nice, providing perfectly cool water to drink. The ice that this system makes are the "ice bullets" - see the picture. The system makes plenty of it, and it makes it fast. It keeps it topped up when you take some out, so you will always have ice available. Bravo, bravo! The whole system is made of plastic but is quite rigid and built with decent quality. I am very, very happy with this water dispenser, and am very glad we have it at our place of business. It is a 5-star machine in my opinion - I love it.

Love love love. - love cooling function - great size - helping me drink more water - see video for more information

This little water cooler/ice maker is fantastic! I had this in my house but after about a week I moved it onto my covered and enclosed deck and it has made a big difference with how we use our deck. We can have easy access to ice and water where there is no sink or water hookup and we love it! All you need is a 110 outlet, which we have on our deck, so it works great! It makes bullet ice, is pretty fast and it keeps the ice cold. It is definitely comparable to my counter top ice maker but this one has a bonus with hot and cold water. I wasn’t sure how to clean it right at first, but it hasn’t been bad if I wipe it down as soon as I am done using the ice maker. When I know we’re done with it, I clean out all the ice so it isn’t sitting with ice in it while I am not using it. It also has a nice silicone mat that the ice sits on inside the cooler which also makes cleaning easier. It has been great to have water right next to where I feed and water our cats. I don’t have to run inside every time they need a drink, which is always, in this dry summer heat. This is definitely worth the price since it has a great ice maker, makes the water hot or keeps the water cold. What a fantastic idea!

PROS: Compact. Hot/Cold Water. Ice. Additional Thoughts: This is a free standing water cooler/heater and ice maker. It is advertised to be compatible with most 2, 3, 5 gallon jugs so guess what I did. I found a 4 gallon jug at Sams Club and it fit and worked. I purchased two 4 gallon jugs so I could refill them with my own filtered water and not have to fill them all the way. I also purchased reusable caps for them which are working well, so far.

I cannot find anything wrong with it yet. I know it will take maintenance from other reviews and the instructions like descaling and cleaning. The ice makes pretty fast. Hope it keeps working for a long time as it was pretty pricey. As per one review threw out first cup of water and batch of ice
