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.

We have also incorporated a self-clean UV function which will automatically clean the machine's water tank with the built-in UV LED. There is also an empty-bottle indicator that will light up when the bottle needs to be replaced. The water cooler is UL listed. The unit dimensions are 41x12x13 inches.
Q: Does it have self sanitization system?
A: It has a self cleaning system they suggest to use weekly and to clean the filter system by hand every 6 months. The self cleaning is just pressing a button on the back side which you hold until you hear it come on. Usually runs about a hour and a half. That helps the lines stay clean and water fresh.
Q: Can you turn the light off?
A: Yes. You can turn off the light with a switch on the backside panel near the top.
A: Hello Momof8. If you review the 3rd image on bestbuy.com you will see the buttons for the hot, cool, and cold water dispenser, located on the top of the unit. The hot water can not be dispensed without releasing the child safety lock. Please contact our Customer Support Team at 1-800-256-0695 or [email protected] if you have any other questions regarding Avalon water cooler dispensers!
A: Yes I bought the same one and the bottom is stainless steel.
A: All models have recently switched from ozone to UV self-cleaning except for A14 which still uses ozone. This unit will automatically self-clean using UV LED inside the cold tank instead of manually turning on the ozone. The internal water reservoir has a self-sanitizing UV LED bulb that will sanitize any water entering the machine. This also helps prevent any bacteria from building up inside the machine. The UV will turn on and off automatically. Thank you
A: Hi, This unit can be used with a glass bottle. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
A: Hello, Please contact customer support at [email protected] Thank you!

We purchased this model specifically because it was a bottom loading cooler, we didn't want to be flipping over 5 gallon bottles anymore. It comes, ith a night light, 3 water temperatures, hot, cold and cool. Safety features built in for the hot water. This one is black stainless steel, nice looking.

I’m in love with this item. My bottled water machine was easy to put together and easy to use. Now my grandson can’t mess with to buttons on the machine so he just looks at it and smiles and looks at Mimi like “what did you do to my old one that I used to push on”. This machine has fixed all of my problems.

Delivery delayed a couple of times. Thankfully, the shipping packaging (box, padding, straps, etc.) was done well. Color of unit does NOT match the color of the image on Best Buy website/app—see attached image. The unit is basically all black, however, the upper section has a slight purple hue. May return because of the color issue—it doesn’t match the kitchen aesthetic. I did plug in the unit and it seems to function as described. (Note: I started pulling the clear protective film off after plugging it in—this is when I realized the color was off)
