In retrospect, it may have been more a cracked bottle cap issue that was letting air into the bottle allowing water to leak out. When we first got this unit, water "appeared" to leak from the unit as well. So I ordered some replacement bottle caps through eBay (what? desertcart doesn't carry any?), and that resolved the leakage issue. The unit works great though we don't use the cooling section, only the hot water section. It produces great hot water, sufficient for beverages and "Cup Noodles". I prefer the top loading feature over the bottom loading as water flow isn't dependent on electricity in case of a power outage, nor are we tied to the pump flow rate or pump noise, a common complaint with bottom loading units. Since we don't have kids that we are concerned about getting burned with the hot water, I put clear packing tape over the "safety" button on the hot water control to hold it down and now have one handed operation. I couldn't do that with the GE unit’s twist safety feature. The unit is good for filling thinner containers with hot water (it’s hard to add water to medium to larger pans from the unit due to the proximity of the cool dispenser control). We have a very good under sink filter with a dedicated filtered water faucet and use that for cold drinking water and refilling the 5-gallon bottle for instant hot water. We opted not for an undersink instant hot water generator due to the higher cost, limited undersink space, installation process and higher risk of an accidental undersink leak (we had a very expensive house flood due to an accidental disconnect under that sink in the past). This unit fit the bill. From an esthetic perspective, it would be nice if they offered it also in a “stainless steel” paint version which would fit better in with our kitchen décor. Review: Simplicity, Excellent Design, Functional - At first I was going to go all out and buy a bottom loading, high dollar water cooler, but some of the bad reviews and problems people experienced scared me. So I chose to go with a basic and functional design. I didn't want digital touch buttons that could fail or a pump system that might leak. I chose this basic design, top loading water cooler, and I couldn't be happier. If I experience any issues, I will update this review. The noise is seriously almost non-existent. It looks great and appears to be well made. The hot water is actually hot although I did not measure the temp. The cold water is very cold too. It was a good buy. ## Features - HOT & COLD WATER SPOUTS: When you use our water cooler dispenser you can choose between a Crisp Cold & Piping Hot Output, making it ideal for cool refreshments or toasty beverages. - CHILD SAFE: Our water cooler dispenser is UL Listed and features a child safety lock on the hot water spout so the entire family can use it worry free! - INNOVATIVE & STYLISH DESIGN: Avalon’s Top Loading Water Cooler Dispenser features a slim design that won’t look bulky, even in small spaces, and fits in any corner of the home. - TIME SAVING: Our top loading water cooler dispenser saves time when you need to make a quick cup of tea, hot cocoa, or instant soup!

I hate standing around waiting forever till the pitcher fills on these slow dispensing coolers** A: It fills slowly. It's just as slow as the water dispenser at work. I'd say it is the kind that "takes forever" **Q: Can you put liqour in it and have 5 gallons of cold shots?** A: Sure you can. It is great at a party. And you can get it out of the hot side too. Looks cool with gold fish inside the water bottle. Just add an air pump and a hole in the top to feed the fish. You just drain the dirty water out the cup filler. Don't drink it thou. **Q: Can this unit dispense room temperature water if it is not plugged in?** A: Yes **Q: does it have a stainless steel tank?** A: I had my husband take the back off the back to look and yes it does have stainless tank. the manual has nothing about stainless ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fit the bill *by E***W on June 19, 2016* This unit replaced an old GE unit that "appeared" to have begun leaking on us.

So I chose to go with a basic and functional design. I didn't want digital touch buttons that could fail or a pump system that might leak.

It was a good buy. ### ⭐ Worked For Exactly Six Days *by D***H on October 24, 2016* We bought this in an attempt to make up for our fairly poor tap water which my wife will not drink. We found a nice filling system at the local grocery store and so invested in three 3 gallon jugs. We received it Monday evening and everything seemed fine. It was great for filling baby bottles and very cold water dispensing and immediately cut down on the waste of bottles of water. The water came out quickly and at a good hot or cold temperature. Three days into having it my wife declared her love. Then day 7, Sunday, came. Sunday afternoon the hot water spigot began to drip. We fiddles with the handle, poured more water out hoping it would seal, and then finally drained both of the taps. When we re-filled the problem appeared to have corrected itself. Then I woke up Monday morning to a puddle of water all over my kitchen. The hot water dispenser had been leaking all night at a more than slow drip. We drained it again and looked at the instructions to see if there was any troubleshooting for this problem and there was not. We looked all through the papers that came with it and there was no information about the manufacturer or contact info to call and try to troubleshoot. There is also not an option on Amazon to exchange the product, only to return. We are very disappointed that the issue could not be resolved. We'll consider buying another one but I don't want to have to re-package another unit if it does not even last a week. ## Frequently Bought Together - Avalon Top Loading Water Cooler Dispenser - Hot & Cold Water, Child Safety Lock, Innovative Slim Design, Holds 3 or 5 Gallon Bottles - UL Listed - OKLGO 5 Gallon Water Jug Cap Reusable - Non-Spill 55mm Water Bottle Caps,Silicone Replacement Cap Lids Anti Splash 3 Pack - Gofriipai 3 and 5 Gallon Water Jug Cap, Silicone Reusable Replacement Cap, Non Spill Bottle Caps for 55mm Bottle Water Dispenser Caps - Pack of 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/16568099-top-loading-water-cooler-dispenser-hot-and-cold-water-child](https://www.desertcart.it/products/16568099-top-loading-water-cooler-dispenser-hot-and-cold-water-child) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
