Much happier with them now! 2 years. That’s how long this water cooler lasted, and even in that time it had issues. Last night it started making weird noises and now it doesn’t dispense hot water. 2 days ago it wouldn’t dispense cold water. If you’re looking for something to last a short time, go for it. If you want something that lasts, avoid this product. Also, I got the one with the filters. Review: Buyer Beware - Unreliable Possible Planned Obsolescence - Summary - Stay away from this product. Constant issues with the pump not recognizing the water bottle is refilled and issues with leakage. I’ve owned two of these units within the last 3 years now. My previous unit suddenly leaked all over my floor with no clear sign as to where it was coming from as the source was in the chamber above the bottle. Keep in mind the area the leak was coming from is never touched as it’s enclosed. My second unit that I purchased 4 months ago is now showing symptoms that previously constantly plagued the first unit - the machine would not pump water after filling the bottle. This issue requires constant attempts of opening and reclosing the door housing the bottle until it decided to pump again. I’ve attempted working with support and researching the water not pumping issue and this seems to just be a defect with this unit. Unfortunately I had to repurchase this specific unit as my only option is to bottom load my water coolers and this was one of the only units with a filtration system that can help with the fact that i’m forced to use tap water. This product at its core is extremely unreliable at doing its only job. I’ve scoured through reviews on this products page and at this point I need to accept that 99% of the negative reviews are legitimate. I’m seriously disappointed in this product and desertcart for even allowing it to be sold. ## Features - Filtration Without Installation: This Water Cooler Comes With A Refillable 5 Gallon Bottle That You Can Refill From The Tap And Allow The Built-In Dual Filtration System To Filter The Water..cold water : Cold Temp: 47°F, Cooling Power: 100W.

There are two bottons on the back to shut off the hot or the cold. The third button will shut off the LED night light. **Q: What does it mean when it stops cooling and heating water?** A: My units thermostat failed and caused the water tank to freeze solid preventing water to flow. This is a known problem with this model. The company was good about providing a replacement even though the warranty had expired. Unplug the unit for 72 hours allowing the tank to thaw out then plug the unit back in and give it a try. If it's a freezing problem it may return in a few days. It cannot be repaired by the consumer. **Q: Does the pump cone with product? Can you use any 5 gallon water bottle or do you neef special bottle and where do you order** A: The pump is part of the unit. You can use almost any 3 or 5 gal bottle, The sleeve that fits over the bottle is tapered to accept most bottles in the 53 mm to 60 mm caps. Wallmart, amazon and others sell the bottles. **Q: Does the hot water come in contact with any plastic parts, such as the heating elements, the reservoir and the spout?** A: It doesn't really have contact with any plastic...It comes out straight and hot...But it will not heat up or Melt any other plastic around it.

As renters in a townhouse w/o access to a water line (for a water dispenser housed within a refrigerator), we'd been subsisting with a countertop PUR filter dispenser for about 13 years. But over those 13 years our family grew, and the PUR just couldn't keep up with us. It was important for us to purchase something that would actually filter water, because we didn't want to have to lug bottles to/from the store or subscribe to a bottled water delivery service. I searched high and low for a dispenser that had good filtration, multiple temperature options, and (importantly!) wouldn't require us to hook it up to a water line. This was a MUCH harder task than I initially anticipated; nothing had everything we needed. So we waited. Aaaaaand waited. Our PUR dispenser begged for mercy. And then, one fateful day, I found it... The Avalon holy grail!! We've now owned this dispenser for 3 months, and it is an honorary member of our family. It's handsome. It's user-friendly. The drum it comes with is high-quality and easy to refill in my kitchen sink. It *does* get heavy when I have to carry it from the sink back to the dispenser, but the fact that it's bottom-loading is a huge saving grace! The low growling noise it makes when we dispense water is a small price to pay, IMO, for clean, great-tasting water. It otherwise is a very quiet machine! I would recommend splurging for the overpriced Avalon stand (sold separately), as it makes the dispenser sit at a very convenient (taller) height, *and* elevates the machine itself from the ground, which I appreciate from a cleanliness standpoint. (We have a dog. She sheds. 'Nuff said.) Of course I hope it lasts us many great years, but even if it doesn't, I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It's that good, and worth the $200ish pricetag! ## Frequently Bought Together - Avalon A3F Bottom Loading Water Cooler Dispenser with BioGuard-3 Temperature Settings-UL-Filtered - 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 - New Wave Enviro Products BPA Free Bottle, Lightweight & Durable Design, 5 Gallon Capacity --- ## 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.co.uk/products/330298885-avalon-a3f-bottom-loading-water-cooler-dispenser-with-bioguard-3](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/330298885-avalon-a3f-bottom-loading-water-cooler-dispenser-with-bioguard-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
