Brio Self Cleaning Bottom Loading Water Cooler Water Dispenser – Black Stainless Steel - 3 Temperature Settings - Hot, Room & Cold Water

This cooler is operated by a pump which draws water upwards whereas other coolers are gravity fed. The motor noise is not overbearing and it only engages when in use. Small price to pay for the convenience of not having to lift jugs. This was the main selling point for me along with the UV sanitization. From someone who works close to pharma water manufacturing, the UV light is an added bonus because it mitigates bio burdens. Having a range of water temperatures is luxurious. I mix ambient and chilled water to the temp I prefer, or you can opt for scorching hot, freezing cold or ambient. I like that there is sufficient room between the spouts and drip tray to fill water bottles - I use liter size. The hot water button has a safety on it 👍 you dispense water by holding down the respective button located on top of the unit instead of bending down and holding open a tap and now I can never go back. Equipped with easy to read light indicators to communicate when it's heating, chilling, self sanitizing and needs to be refilled. It's sleek. IMO it will integrate nicely into any space. Otherwise, it's a water cooler and it does what it's meant to do. I use 5 gal jugs and haven't experienced any issues with the cooler or the water quality.

In lieu of a $12k whole home reverse osmosis system, I decided to buy a water cooler. Since the Amazon Recommended one had several reviews about how its water pump would just up and die, I bought this one instead. So far, pretty happy with it. It isn't nearly as cold as some reviewers say. Not just my opinion, but a friend's, too. People have likened it to things like "a jet engine" and... wow is that the overstatement of the century. It's about as loud as a mini fridge. The noise isn't "constant" like some reviewers have said, either. Maybe every half hour or hour maybe, it kicks on for a few minutes. Then the unit is silent again for a while. My only real complaint is that the night light doesn't seem to have a sensor, or maybe it does but the sensor literally always thinks it's too dark where my unit is, so the light is always on. The switch on the back is easy to reach over the top so I've just turned it off unless I need it, like any other light switch.

Strike 1 - Got it home from the Post Office, plugged it in and turned on the hot water heating. We live at 8,300 feet and our boiling temperature is 197°. The hot water continually boiled over in the reservoir and onto the floor and heated up the other reservoirs so even the room temperature was hot. Called Brio and they said the temperature on the hot water is not adjustable and it was working as designed. If you live at altitude, pass this one by. Strike 2 - About 4 months after we put in service, I went to fill a glass and the pump would not come on. Since we were leaving for the day, I did not have time to check too close to see what the problem might be. The 5 gallon jug was over half full. Strike 3 - We cam home many hours later and found that the rest if the 5 gallon jug had been pumped onto the floor. What a mess. We've looked at the warranty and trying to figure out if it is even worth it to "return at our expense" and they may fix or replace at their discretion. We've started looking at what else is available locally and on line and have not made a decision. So we're stuck using a manual pump until we either send it back or get something else. I would have expected something better from Brio.

We have had this water cooler for 2.5 years with near-daily use in a small business environment. It has held up well with no problems. As a jug-under cooler it is very convenient to restock and is quiet. The hot water option is a nice feature and dispenses water at the right temperature to brew tea, in my opinion. The "room temperature" water option is nice also, since a lot of people do not prefer cold water (note that it is definitely room temp, not lukewarm, so if the room is chilly the water will be too). The self-clean feature is also great. Overall, we have been very happy with this purchase.

The Brio Self Cleaning Bottom Loading Water Cooler Water Dispenser in Black Stainless Steel is a game-changer in my household. From its sleek design to its convenient features, this dispenser has quickly become a favorite. Firstly, the bottom-loading design is a game-changer. No more heavy lifting or spills while trying to replace the water bottle. The self-cleaning feature is also a huge plus, ensuring that the water stays fresh and free from any impurities. The three temperature settings (hot, room, and cold) offer versatility for every preference. Whether I need a refreshing cold drink on a hot day or a soothing cup of hot tea, this dispenser has me covered. The water tastes clean and crisp, which is essential for my family's health. The black stainless steel finish adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen, blending seamlessly with other appliances. The LED night light is a thoughtful addition, making it easy to dispense water even in low-light conditions. However, my only wish is that I could adjust the temperature settings to my exact preference. While the three preset options are convenient, having the ability to fine-tune the temperature would be a welcomed addition. Overall, the Brio Self Cleaning Bottom Loading Water Cooler Water Dispenser is a fantastic investment. Its convenience, cleanliness, and stylish design make it a standout choice for any home or office. If adjustable temperature settings are not a priority for you, I highly recommend giving this dispenser a try.

If you go through lots of water this is the way to go. Buying a 5 gallon jug is so much cheaper than individual bottles.

It worked fine for 2 years, then the cold water dispenser started leaking and it actually siphoned the water out and emptied the water bottle into the floor. It happened while I was at work so I came home to a mess. I turned off the cooling switch and that helped but then I only had room temp water, I seldomly used the hot water dispenser. That lasted for another 3 years, but now it’s not dispensing at a full flow, only a very thin trickle. I think that such a simple appliance should last longer than 5 years.

We have a water distiller and fill the 5 gallon jugs with it and it's SO wonderful to have our water hot or cold!! It's quiet, efficient and such a wonderful addition to our kitchen!

I do not recommend this product. It never cooled properly from the day we received it and as I had to cut the packaging to place the cooler in its place, I couldn't claim a refund... Maybe not the best idea to purchase a water cooler online and best to get one from a reputable store who will take responsibility for the product they sold...
