Bottom Loading Water Cooler Water Dispenser – Essential Series - 3 Temperature Settings - Hot, Cold & Cool Water - UL/Energy Star Approved

I absolutely love this Brio Water Cooler! It looks great in my kitchen, and the stainless steel finish feels really solid and premium. The three temperature options are perfect for whatever I need. My wife uses the hot water for tea. What really sold me on this cooler is the bottom-loading feature. It makes swapping out the water bottles a breeze, no more struggling with heavy jugs! It was easy to set up, and it heats and cools the water quickly. I haven’t had any issues with it so far, and it’s nice and quiet while it runs. For the price, this cooler is definitely worth it, and I highly recommend it!

Este máquina de agua muy práctica siempre tienes agua fría y caliente para tu café!!!

We bought this dispenser 2-1/2 years ago because lifting bottles to the top was becoming harder as we got older and we knew it would become impossible in time. It has performed flawlessly. It has been moved around many times. It is not light but I am 71 and can handle it OK. The hot water is great for tea, instant soups and is "sip-carefully" hot. The hot water button is also protected by a slide you need to hold back to use so the chances of an accidental burn are very slim. The cold water is almost icy. It has a handy bracket on the back to keep it the proper distance from walls and cabinets. It has a small red light to let you know the bottle needs changing. There is a hook inside the door to hold the cap while changing bottles and the whole process is very easy and straight-forward. The top of the dispenser is flat and a great place to put a supply of drinking glasses. If you remove the drip-catcher (just lift it out) you can fill a standing 9" water bottle. Taller containers can also be filled by tilting them under the spout. although wider containers may need to be held. We highly recommend this water dispenser.

Love this product. I like how you can get cold, room temp and hot water with just one appliance. It's also easy to change the jugs. My family stays well hydrated because of this.

I'm very happy with this purchase so far. It's a nice looking cooler that fit perfectly in the space I have. The temperature of the cold water is perfect for me although it may be too cold for some. I've only used the hot water once, for a cup of noodles, and it worked great and I'm looking forward to using it for hot tea this winter. The "room temperature" water is actually pretty cold, but it might be because I don't keep the hot water switched on unless I need it. If you want room temp water you can use the "hot water" with the heat turned off. The only issue that I've had so far is it can be a little noisy sometimes, but you can turn off both switches at night and it's perfectly quiet. I saw reviews that mentioned taller water bottles didn't fit under the machine so I bought the shorter of the 2 options that Walmart had and it fit fine (American Maid 5 gal) but I think there's plenty of space for the square stackable bottle they have. 09/18/24 - I've only had the machine a week and I'm aware of the other complaints I've seen others have. If I have any issues I'll be sure to update this review but so far it's all good. 10/07/2024 - After a month of use I'll still give this machine 5 stars but there are a couple of things that bug me. First is that the noise can get really annoying sometimes. It's okay when it's a consistent noise, but sometimes it's an inconsistent vibration and almost sounds like the machine is struggling. I have the machine close to my desk so I have to turn it off at times so I can get some work done. Luckily, the water stays cold for quite a while with the cold switch off. I turn it off at night and the water is still pretty cold when I grab a glass in the morning. The second thing that bothers me is the "water low" warning light. It's a really bright red flashing light that you can't turn off. No big deal unless you have the machine in your bedroom and only have one jug like I do. I have to unplug the machine to get any sleep. I'll probably have to void my warranty to disconnect this feature. 01/28/2025 - I've had the cooler for almost 5 months now and am still very happy with the purchase. No further issues other than the previously mentioned issues. I've used the hot water feature many times for tea and cocoa this winter and it works great. I live near one of the fires in LA and it was so nice to have this dispenser when we weren't able to drink our tap water. I can definitely say that I recommend this purchase and will update if I have any major issues in the coming months. 06/26/2025 - 9 Months in and no further issues with this machine. I figured out how to avoid the horrible red "empty" light without unplugging the machine. You can hear when the machine is sucking up air and if you open the door quickly enough, the empty light will not turn on. You just have to keep it open until you refill the jug.
