Its innovative ozone self-cleaning system sanitizes the dispenser to prevent bacteria buildup, while the bottom loading design makes bottle replacement effortless and spill-free.

## Description

Avalon 3 Temperature Stainless Steel Bottom Loading Water Cooler with Child Safety Lock is made with an innovative stainless steel body. It offers a choice of 3 water temperatures. The easy-to-use push button spouts make it so much more convenient to use. Simply press the temperature button of choice and allow the water to flow from the given spout. The machines highly efficient compressor makes the cold water crisp and ice cold at approximately 47° F without the need of adding ice cubes to your drink. The hot faucet is hot enough to cook one's tea or coffee or any other steaming hot beverage at approximately 185° F. Due to the extremely hot water, we've added a child safety lock on the hot water faucet. We have incorporated a nightlight that can be switched on from the back of the unit. This will make filling up your cup at night so much more simple and easy. The dispensing area is 12x3x10 inches with 9 inches of space below the spouts. This will accommodate most large cups or bottles. There is a removable drip tray at the bottom of the dispensing area to catch any drips or spills. This water cooler is bottom loading with a cabinet to hold 3 or 5 gallon bottles. The water is pumped from the bottle through the machine. There is also an empty-bottle indicator that will light up when the bottle needs to be replaced. The water cooler is UL listed and complies with all standards of Energy Star. The unit dimensions are 41x12x13 inches.

Review: Avalon: So far, so good! - For more than 8 years we have owned a top loading water dispenser and have been satisfied with its performance. Prior to that we rented a top loading dispenser. Both had spigots for hot and cold water. However, when our most recent water dispenser leaked all over the floor over night last week, we decided a bottom-loading model was more in keeping with our current ages (70). What a great decision. I cannot tell you how easy it was to set up this unit and install the water bottle. HOORAH! We went from 5 minutes to less than a minute. Carrying the top loading bottle to the old unit, turn it over without splashing the wall, settling it in place -- no more. I put the dispensing tube in the bottle and slid it into the unit. Shut the door and that was it. HOT is very hot; cold is ice cold and cool is cold but without the bite. I have a huge tea mug that holds 20 oz and I filled it with hot water without a problem. Other people have complained but it worked perfectly for me. I noted in the manual that the HOT tank holds a liter of water; that is equivalent to 33 ounces or an ounce more than a quart. Now, for the first install I did take the time to follow the instructions and clean the unit by running a half gallon plus of water through the newly setup unit. It was at this point that I ran into my only problems. First, removing the screws so I could lift off the top of the unit was easy enough. The top stuck but I did not force it; jiggling proved to be enough to get it off. It hangs down the back and no wires need be removed. I don't have a bucket to catch the water from the rear drain so I used a giant bowl. I was not prepared for the fact that the water shoots straight out at first and I missed a few ounces but not a big deal. The second part of the cleaning routine is to remove the white top over the inner tank. This is not well described in the manual and mine would not come off. Again, I did not want to use too much force and damage the unit. There is a number to call but our Avalon was delivered on Sunday so I was going to have to wait. But no, YOUTUBE! Of course, there was a video on YouTube and it demonstrated how to pull off the top. I had to use a bit more force but it was fine. No tubes or wires need to be disconnected. The half gallon+ of water is poured into the tank and the lid was easily replaced; the top is screwed in again and the unit is drained. Really, once I went though the process, I realized that the next time will be much quicker. I think the whole cleaning process can be accomplished in about 10-15 minutes at most. This cleaning process has nothing whatever to do with the "self-cleaning" -- that is electronic and is handled by pushing the self-clean button in the rear of the machine. I have not owned this unit long enough to use self-cleaning. The manual recommends that the cleaning process I described above be done about every 6 months. The manual also recommends using citric acid crystals in the water to remove any mineral deposits which may have built up in the tanks. I am sure I can find these online as well. In summary, I think this unit is easy to set up and the water bottles are very easily installed in the unit. I had no problem whatsoever. The water tastes great (we use Crystal Spring water) and there is no aftertaste. Most of the time there is no noise at all except when the condenser goes on. This was true of my old top loading water dispenser as well but the Avalon is quieter than that unit. Any noise is periodic and related to cooling or heating the water. It is like an air conditioning unit turning on; if you want cool air you put up with it. Well if you want hot and cold water, you need to put up with the condenser working from time to time. The manual lists phone numbers, email support address and the website. The unit itself has a troubleshooting number to call on the bottom inside behind the door where the water bottle sits, Finally, I appreciate the storage hanger on the inside of the door on which to hang the water tube when replacing water bottles; the tube is ALWAYS above the floor of the unit and away from any dirt or debris. Assuming there are no significant problems that develop in the next months, I heartily recommend this water dispenser.
Review: good clean water available at the push of a button - We live somewhat rural and have a well. The well water is not always good. There are times it is great but depending on the water levels and time of the year it can have a problem with hydrogen sulfide. If you aren't sure, that is the stuff that smells like rotten eggs that goes into propane so you can smell a leak. Blech. I'm so not drinking that. We've been doing bottled water and more than a little bit of soda. I decided to kick the soda habit so started drinking more water. I feel really bad burning through so many bottles, even with recycling, plus the costs. I decided to get a water cooler. Going into it I knew I wanted instant hot water and a bottom loader. I did a good bit of research that led to this unit. Most the brands have as many 1 star as 5 star reviews, often worse. The big review articles all pointed to this brand (though a different model). I opted to step up a bit to get the self cleaning feature because I know I'm not going to take it apart to clean as often as I should and am not interested in drinking nasty water. As usual it arrived quickly (thanks desertcart). I set it up without any trouble and got the first bottle hooked up. Even though setup was simple to the point that I didn't really need directions, I took time to look at the directions. I'm glad I did because it suggests running out at least 1 quart of water before turning on the hot and cold. I did 16oz from each of the dispensers then turned everything on. The instant hot water is great. I love being able to make a cup of tea right away. I wish I could adjust the temp because I often make green or white tea, which should be steeped at a cooler temp. My solution is to add some room temp water to bring the water temp in my mug down. Problem solved. The cold water is too cold for me. I tend to drink room temp water. My family likes ice water though, so the cold water works great for them. The room temp water is much colder than room temp. I think it is because there is a reservoir with the water in it that is next to the cold water reservoir. This results in colder than room temp but not so cold it hurts my teeth water. I actually find it to be the perfect temperature so I really enjoy it. The self cleaning feature is nice but I thought it might be on a timer. Sadly you have to activate it manually once a week. I think I can manage to remember that and activating it is easy enough. You flip and hold a switch till it turn on (about 3 seconds). The switch is away from the hot, cold, light switch so you won't accidentally turn off those features. It fits the 5 gallon bottles available at our grocery store. We picked up 2 bottles and the first emptied quickly (partly from throwing out 1.5 quarts, partly from filling the reservoirs, and partly from the novelty of it in a house with 4 children). My wife picked up a third bottle when she exchanged the empty at the store. I think we might get a fourth just to make sure we've got water on hand in case we don't go to the store for a bit (sometimes we get snowed in for days). I'm drinking about a gallon a day at this point by myself plus 5 others in the family so we can still finish a bottle off every 3 days or so. I do have a couple minor complaints, though not enough to reduce a star rating over. 1) The light switch is in the back, right next to the hot/cold switch. I don't leave it on all the time but like to use it at night instead of turning on the light in the dining room. I worry that I'll flip the wrong switch since they are all together and the only way to tell is by position (they are color coded but you can't see that without moving the unit away from the wall much less in the dark. 2) You lose some water in the bottle with the bottom load type. It's by necessity. The shape of the bottle and fact that it needs to suck up the water through a straw means you will never get 100% of the water out of the bottle. This is going to happen with any dispenser like this and TBH it's not a lot of water but it does feel like a waste. I've been pouring it into a glass but it's not the easiest thing. Still less likely to spill than loading a top loaded bottle. 3) Did I mention I really don't love the position of the light switch? None of these reduce the star rating so I'm very satisfied with this product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When does that weird taste go away? Or does it?**
A: So we haven’t had any weird taste issues since we purchased it (like over a year ago). However, today we noticed a really bad plastic taste coming from the water dispensed. I double checked directly from the jug I hooked up and the water tasted fine. So something in the machine is contaminating the water or something. I just ran the ozone cleaning option and hopefully that helps.

**Q: I can't get the drip tray to pop out! it feels like i'm going to break it if i pull any harder. is there a trick to it??**
A: Hannah I am not sure. I just recently purchased mine - I know I snapped the drip tray in. After seeing your question I tried to get mine out and was unable. I also went on Avalon's website to see if they had any instructions but their website wasn't very helpful. I am going to call them. Please let me know if you find anything out.

**Q: Has anybody else had issues with the pump not pulling water strong enough?**
A: We ordered one and pump does not work. Barely made it through the cleaning cycle but will not pull water to drink. Will be reordering another unit to see if random issue. Finders crossed!

**Q: how long does it take to fill a 16 oz. water bottle?**
A: Approximately 10 - 12 seconds to dispense 16 ounces from the room temperature spout. Both the hot and cold spouts are 2 - 3 seconds slower.

### ⭐ Avalon - What a huge let down
*by V***É on August 25, 2025*

Worked okay for about a month. The water started coming out the cold spout at a painfully slow pace within 2 weeks of using, so I moved on to the cool spout, same happened to that spout. I finally got around to cleaning it (which is quite the chore), I followed the instructions to the T and I was happy to see the cold and cool water spouts were working properly again. 24 hours later I found a slow leak and a puddle at the bottom of the cooler and I cannot find out where it is leaking for the life of me. I’ve taken it apart and looked everywhere. I think the bottom load water coolers are nice but there is so much that can go wrong on these. I really like the ozone cleaning function but to be honest, I’m not sure if it does anything. When I cleaned it, there was still biofilm in the main water tank. I’m looking for the perfect water cooler, unfortunately this is not it! Funny, right before I cleaned this I saw the same make and model in my apartment complex near the dumpster with a note on it saying the water cooler doesn’t work, it looked brand new too. You may as well just buy a new water cooler if it’s leaking, not worth the price of getting them to repair it.
