Primo Smart Touch Bottom-Loading Water Dispenser - 3 Temp (Hot-Cool-Cold) Water Cooler Water Dispenser for 5 Gallon Bottle, White, Touch Controls

I love how this looks in my kitchen! Most water dispensers are so clunky or office looking. This one is super fashionable and easy to load and the 3 temps are awesome! Love the safety feature for the hot water too :)

Looks really nice but it’s broken upon arrival. The hot water doesn’t work at all.

The media could not be loaded. If you rent a water dispenser or want one, this does a great job of bringing together all the things required to make a fantastic water dispenser. It’s got a great appearance kind of a retro look, the performance has been great, and it has many of the features you would want. It’s also brought to you by a trusted name in the water business, Primo which is also Sparklets. If you need or want a high quality water dispenser, this will make a fantastic choice.If you like bottled water cold, then this is one of those devices that once you get use to using it, it’s very hard to live without. Its super convenient to have filtered cold water at the touch of a button, and the added benefit of having water hot enough to make tea or soup instantly is fantastic.The great things:I really like the bottom loading water coolers, long gone are the days of trying to tip an open water bottle onto a hole. The water comes out really cold or hot enough to make tea, soup, ext. This model comes with a door open shut off sensor that will turn it off when the door is open, to prevent it from starting to suck water as your changing it.It’s a big bonus that the hose will go around any standard sized 3 or 5-gallon bottle, meaning you can buy almost any brands of water. You can even refill them with your own water if you have an acceptable source and buy a few bottles.And finely, this one has one spout for the water to dispense and it protrudes down, much better than the rented one that had 2 spouts that were touching and you couldn’t put the one you’re using down into the water bottle, causing it to spill sometimes.Things to think about:It seems to make some noises and rattling; I wouldn’t want it close to my bed or in a studio apartment. It also, produces a fair amount of heat, but similar to your fridge. If I’m close to it, I can feel it.Overall, this is a fantastic dispenser. It looks great, performs perfectly, gives you every option you would want on one, and will provide you with a cold, hot, and room temperature water source that you will appreciate every time you use it. Do yourself and your family a favor and get one, you’ll love it.I really hope you found this information to be helpful in your decision.

After purchasing this dispenser I realized that the cold water and room temp water pull from the same reservoir. I called the company and they told me it is designed that way. The idea is that the room temp option pumps from the top of the cool reservoir as if it’s going to be a different temperature than the rest of the water in the reservoir. Horrible engineering solution.So take note, this is only a 2 temperature dispenser.They suggested as a work around to shut off the hot water option and use that as room temp thus negating the ability to have hot water. Again horrible solution.

The media could not be loaded. I have an under cabinet one stage filtration set up that the builder installed that I don't use. I chose to do like many others do and buy cases of bottled water from the local grocery store. This has worked out fine, except sometimes I forget that I'm low on water and don't feel like leaving out to purchase more cases.That got old for me after awhile.We have recycling here so I have a bin just for plastics, glass etc.. but sometimes my family will forget and throw away the empty water bottles.This water dispenser eliminates me having to go pick up cases of bottled water as often as I was. Fewer trips fr me is a good thing. It eliminates bottles being thrown away instead of being put into the recycling bin.With this dispenser, you can use either 5 gallon or 3 gallon jugs. I'm using 5 gallon jugs.It comes with a set up guide. It dispenses Hot, Cool and Cold water.I find that the cold water is actually cold. I mention this because in reading reviews of other dispensers, one thing that seems to be a complaint is that the water isn't cold as it should be.The cool setting actually dispenses cool water.The hot water comes out hot so be careful when dispensing. By the way, there is a safety feature built in for the hot water. Instead of pressing the hot water button to unlock it before dispensing like with cool and cold, you actually have to press and hold both the hot water button to unlock and also press the dispense button at the same time before any hot water will be dispensed.This dispenser is very quiet.One thing worth noting is that this dispenser is much shorter than what you would find in an office setting.If I were to use this in my home office, I could just turn around in my chair to dispense water in my cup. (that's comfortable)I'm a tall guy 6'2" but I am not finding the height of his machine to be a problem. Who knows, I may look into some sort of stand for this if one is available.As a nice bonus, Primo includes (as of this review) a couple of coupons to get you started.1.) Coupon redeemable for one bottle of Primo Pre-Filled Exchange Water...maximum price $14.99.2.) Coupon redeemable for one bottle of Primo Self-Service Refill Water (Up To 5 Gallons)I am very happy with this dispenser. It's works as advertised and is worth the price.I recommend this Primo Smart Touch Water Dispenser.I hope this helps.
