A ‘how hot?’ temperature dial would be preferred. [Perhaps for the next-level-up version, rather than this: the basic model?] As default-set, I need to wait 10 minutes for my tea to cool enough to drink. Using a kettle, I do not let it get that hot: do not want to burn my tea-leaves. Cold– Yeah, it is cold. But, I don't like cold water. So I never turn on Cold, unless I am expecting guests who might prefer that. [Which I then shut everything off again when they've gone.] Perhaps it is a bit too cold? Perhaps a ‘how cold?’ dial would be pertinent, for the next-level-up version? Again, I am not expecting perfection/exceptional at the cost of ‘cheapest available.’ Temperature Conflict– All the internal tanks are interconnected within the fountain. [They all drain into Cold: but perhaps that's just the slope of my floor dripping it that direction, when powered off?] So, if Hot is left on long enough (3+ hours), the heat starts seeping over into Cool and Cold. Hot left always-on requires Cold to then be always-on too: lest you want your Cool to be warm, and your Cold to be tepid. [Leave it to engineers to expect end-users to turn (and leave) everything on, as the only way for it to work ‘properly.’] So then I must question whether that means Hot and Cold are constantly fighting over temperature, the battleground being within Cool, wasting how much electricity? Noise– I keep the entire thing Powered Off most of the time, preferring my drinking water at room temperature. I have the fountain wired to a switch, turn it on only when the water is running low, to prevent hearing the pump run every time I get a drink. It is not terribly loud, but unnecessary to hear. As it stands, given the volume of water the internal tanks store, I only need to power on the pump every third day or so for my drinking water. [Takes 90-120 seconds to refill.] If left on, there's always a high-pitched ‘eeeee’ noise. I suspect that would be the pump keeping itself primed. In a busy house or office nobody would hear it, but here alone in the woods, where one can hear everything, the sound grates on the nerves. Potential Problem– This fountain keeps pumping nothing, does not auto-shut-off, when the water-bottle runs out. The longest I left it ‘huffing air’ was 20 minutes, just to see if it would stop, as I didn't want to burn out the motor. So, what happens if you get a drink on the way out the door in the morning and thereby it runs out of water? Will it keep pumping nothing all day? I suspect that would kill it. Overall– Excellent. Looks classy. Works well for what it was designed. Five Stars. Would buy again, recommend to others. Review: Nice cooler - Have one at our cottage, real like it. Easy to load water jugs.

I hate standing around waiting forever till the pitcher fills on these slow dispensing coolers** A: It fills slowly. It's just as slow as the water dispenser at work. I'd say it is the kind that "takes forever" **Q: Can you put liqour in it and have 5 gallons of cold shots?** A: Sure you can. It is great at a party. And you can get it out of the hot side too. Looks cool with gold fish inside the water bottle. Just add an air pump and a hole in the top to feed the fish. You just drain the dirty water out the cup filler. Don't drink it thou. **Q: Can this unit dispense room temperature water if it is not plugged in?** A: Yes **Q: does it have a stainless steel tank?** A: I had my husband take the back off the back to look and yes it does have stainless tank. the manual has nothing about stainless ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for the price *by S***O on February 21, 2025* Hot– Heats up quick.

Easy to load water jugs. Water dispenser ‘cold’ is cold, and hot water is hot. So we order one for the house, unfortunately it came damaged. Didn’t reorder. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great and looks very nice! *by T***S on December 24, 2025* We bought this Avalon bottom loading water cooler five years ago and it’s still working. I’m not sure why other people have had bad luck with it, but it’s worked out great for us. I love that it has cold, room temp and hot water dispensing options. The cold is pretty cold and the hot water is definitely really hot. It’s so nice to be able to load it on the bottom instead of the top, and it looks more aesthetically pleasing. It’s also very easy to clean it. It’s a lot easier to load than the top loading coolers. The only downside is that it can get a bit noisy, especially when the water is running low or when the cooler turns on. It doesn’t stay noisy long though, so it’s not a big problem for us but I can understand if it would bother others. Anyway, so far we’re happy with it and the quality of it. Hopefully it’ll last us much longer! ## Frequently Bought Together - Avalon Top Loading Water Cooler Dispenser - Hot & Cold Water, Child Safety Lock, Innovative Slim Design, Holds 3 or 5 Gallon Bottles - UL Listed - OKLGO 5 Gallon Water Jug Cap Reusable - Non-Spill 55mm Water Bottle Caps,Silicone Replacement Cap Lids Anti Splash 3 Pack - 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 --- ## 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.us/products/16568099-top-loading-water-cooler-dispenser-hot-and-cold-water-child](https://www.desertcart.us/products/16568099-top-loading-water-cooler-dispenser-hot-and-cold-water-child) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
