Vitapur Countertop Room and Cold (42.8°F - 46.4°F) Water Dispenser Black

So Far So good! I like that it's small. I've never had a water cooler, so this was a great first start, to see if we'd even use it. We've guzzled through 10 gallons of water since setting it up, so I'd say that's a good sign! 10 gallons of healthy water that would have been iced tea or lemonade... It does take a while to refill if you use more than about a 1litre of cold water, but it hasn't been a big deal for us. If we were having a whole party of people here, I'd want something faster, but it's good. I'm guessing that we'll use it until it dies and if we're still enjoying it, we'll replace it with one that can make ice cubes as well. But for now, it's certainly worth the $74, I paid for it.

Bought this a month ago to replace one of a different make that failed after about 6 years. This one works better in almost every way. It has a square base that fits on the countertop better than a round one. The dispensing valves pivot smoothly and quietly, big improvement. The Cold water dispenses faster and also allows the air to feed more freely into the bottle, as opposed to restricting the air flow into the bottle and turning the very light plastic recyclable 15 liter ones into a deformed witches' hats. It has no power switch which I initially found strange until I realized that it's like a refrigerator ... It runs all the time so it doesn't need one. Recovery time is fairly quick and temperature in the correct range at about 8 deg C.
