    Sent the wrong cooler twice

    Disappointed that twice they sent me the wrong one cooler. But they were very nice at helping me return the items. I wanted the black stainless steel model and they sent me black. They need to change the color and model online, they show the black stainless steel and say its black stainless steel but it's not! Super disappointed.

    It’s more silent comparing to my previous bottom load dispenser. So far, it is very good.

    Disappointed with the purchase. I should have purchase a Brio. We’ve Only had it for 3 months the equipment started getting hot and cold water is lukewarm. Manufacturer provides an email as a way to contact them.

    This particular bottom loading water dispenser stinks because you can smell the stale water deposit. Looks like new but the package is one way to trick consumers that it’s “new” as newly package. Shame on you guys not a “best buy” . Let this be a karma to your company.

    Best Buy shipped us the black/ grey cooler twice rather than the black/black stainless. No one looks at the item number when shipping EVEN though they have VERY differentitem numbers. Very disappointing!!

    5 star for 2.5 years, but 3 stars after that.

    I truly like the sleek design of this cooler—it looks great in my space. While it worked, it performed really well, delivering consistently cold and hot water. However, I'm docking stars because after 2.5 years, I've started having recurring issues with the cooling system freezing the water. We can no longer leave the cold setting on at all... the freezing issue causes water to be expelled from the bottom causing a terrible mess. I expected a lot more longevity at this price point. If not for the freezing problem, it would be a perfect cooler.

    It stopped working at the two-year mark. When we first noticed it was going bad. The water was dispensing with a foul smell (even after using the self-clean), and we called the customer service number but couldn't reach anyone! We emailed them several times and received no response.
