Avanti Tabletop Water Dispenser

The product is excellent in performance and it serves the purpose – hot & cold!
Rating: 5 / 5

I bought this for my mother a year ago. It is too big, and it is basically useless.

The water trickles out so slowly it takes forever to fill a glass. It is cheaply constructed and doesn’t work well. Save your money, this would be better used as a boat anchor.

I received the order in about Oct 2007, it worked fine except it’s a little slow in filling a glass. Last month (July 2009), it leaked water and made a big pool on my office floor which took about two hours to clean it away. I dare not buy it again.

I followed the preparation instructions to the letter and two days later I was getting complaints from co-workers that the flow was too slow and that, most importantly, it was leaking at a mild but consistent rate…and not from the drains at the bottom of the unit but from the seams along the sides of the bottom, especially if it were tilted (we don’t normally tilt our water dispenser but I did tilt it and it definitely increased in its pour rate). The unit would just sit there and leak at a slow but, again, consistent and irritating rate. I wish that I had just not bought it but I am glad that we have the old tall tower that this unit was to replace because of its nice size.

Think again before you buy this.
