Avalon Bottom Loading Stainless Steel Water Cooler with Filtration, 3 Gallon Capacity

So far so good. The unit was packaged well. It arrived 3 days ahead of schedule. Setup was straight forward. It has been installed for almost a week and the product is presently working as described. You do have to drain about two gallons of water on the first use through the hot and cold lines before activating the cold and hot elements. I did make a minor modification to the hanging position of the filters moving it up a row to ensure that the door front closes correctly. The water tastes clean and the heating and cooling elements function with ease. Fingers crossed that it continues to operate as designed. Purchased the additional 3 year warranty. I have reached out to Avalon to see if I can procure a glass tank for the long run.

This is the first water dispenser I've ever purchased. I like how it has water filters and how I can just fill the 5 gal jug with tap water. It's probably an overkill, but I filter my tap water first before using the dispenser to filter it again. I'm not too sure how loud these things get, but it is very loud when dispensing, and when it pumps water back into the water tank reservior. When it's chilling the water, it's about as loud as a refrigerator. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. I no longer need to use a Brita in my refrigerator.
