Product Description
The Avalon 3 Temperature Self Cleaning Bottle-less Water Cooler with Child Safety Lock is made with an innovative stainless steel cabinet. It offers a choice of 3 water temperatures. The easy-to-use push button spouts make it so much more convenient to use. Simply press the temperature button of choice and allow the water to flow from the given spout. The machines highly efficient compressor makes the cold water crisp and ice cold at approximately 47° F without the need of adding ice cubes to your drink. The hot faucet is hot enough to cook one's tea or coffee or any other steaming hot beverage at approximately 185° F. The tanks hold 1 liter of hot water and 3. 6 liters of cold water. Due to the extremely hot water, we’ve added a child safety lock on the hot water faucet. There is a built-in nightlight making the water spouts clearly visible in the dark. This water cooler is bottle-less with an NSF certified activated carbon filter and a sediment filter in the cabinet and a water line that can be attached to your water source. The water is taken from your water source and filtered through the filter and then through the machines hot and cold water tanks. There is also a built-in leak detector to automatically monitor the water flow from the water source into the machine. We have incorporated a self-clean ozone function which will automatically clean the machine’s water tank with the injection of ozone by the press of a switch. The water cooler is UL listed and complies with all standards of Energy Star. Setup is easy and the unit can be connected directly to your existing sink water line. All parts necessary for installation are included. The dispensing area is 12x3x10 inches with 9 inches of space below the spouts. The unit dimensions are 41x12x13 inches.

Update (6 months): now that we have to replace our filters, it hurts that it’s $100!
Update: it’s been a couple of months and we still love it. One of the complaints we have is that the tray below is small. The cups/mugs sit on it fine but just having it slightly larger would have been nice. I feel like my kids drink more water now that we have this and it’s easily accessible for them. My husband complains it’s sorta loud but I didn’t think so. It has a cooler so it sounds like a fridge kinda. Doesn’t bother me.
Original: My husband and I put this together so imagine me reading the instructions and him trying to “wing it” as usual ha-ha. Aside from that, it wasn’t too bad to install. We did have to drill a hole in our cabinets to run the (small) hose through to the sink. The manual was sort of helpful but the photos were not great and hard to see and it could have explained things better but we figured it out. The cold water is cold, room temperature is cooler and the hot water is pretty hot and will great for tea, instant oatmeal and Cup-O-Noodles! As far as value, it’s not like I buy these things often (first one) so I don’t know but it seemed reasonably priced.

Positives::
Easy installation. It's simple if you don't have to jump through hoops on running the water line. We placed ours about 7 feet from our sink, so we had to drill holes through the insides of our cabinets in order to run the water line to our cooler location. Simple enough, however. Took us about 20 minutes.
Does it's job...mostly. If your goal is to eliminate bottled water, then this is for you. We were going through a 40 bottle case of water a week. This has allowed us to eliminate the need of stock piling cases of water. (See my cons, below, for taste quality)
Cons:
(I'm going to be a bit critical here since I paid $274.99 for my cooler and feel that for the price, there should be some improvements.)
Taste quality - The taste is acceptable since it's meeting our goal of eliminating bottled water purchases. However, in my opinion, the taste doesn't measure up with bottled water taste. I still feel like I taste a bit of "faucet water" to it. The taste also doesn't compare to my parents' built in reverse osmosis water system. That will be a future purchase for me, despite having this cooler.
Filling area - We use ours largely for our Sparkling water addiction. If you own a sodastream or similar, you're aware of the width of those bottles. The filling area on this cooler is not quite wide enough to place a sodastream bottle in it. In order to fill the bottle, you need tilt it a bit since it's too wide to sit flat under the spout.
Water flow - I would like it to be able to pour faster. For small fills, it's fine. However, if you're looking to fill a jug or something large, it will take longer than you feel like standing there for.
Manual fill only - There is no option to push a button and stand back while it fills your device. This would help with the lack of water flow. However, the only option is to hold down the button the entire time it's filling. This is irritating when you're looking to fill a larger item.
Water temperature - While the water does come out cold, it isn't as cold as taking a bottle of water out of your refrigerator. It would be nice to have a temperature gauge option so that you can make it colder, if desired.
Filter cost - I've only had ours for 2 months, so we're still using the original filters. However, replacement filters are quite expensive and certainly cut down any cost savings that you're getting out of this by eliminating bottles.
Top reviews from other countries
Had a bit of a cleansing taste to the water when I first tried it.
Just goes to prove that they use a cleaning solution when they assemble the machine.
Machine was a little noisy on my hardwood floors, resolved that issue with a rubber mat, which I cut to fit, noise problem resolved.
So far no issues, machine works as advertised, water is still being produced at the required levels, cold is still very cold, as I’m continuously filling my personal water bottle.
Hot water is perfect for making Tea and Hot Chocolate.
I gave it a 4 Star Rating and that’s because of the noise level, yet that was resolved with a rubber mat.
Perhaps they could look at adding rubber molding in the corners to help dampen the noise, for future production.
Otherwise excellent machine, good value for the dollar.
Setup was a breeze, all you need is a little mechanical aptitude, I tapped into my water line in the basement, my cold water going to my kitchen sink.
I just went to Home Hardware for my plumbing needs, they provide you with the materials to plumb under your sink, or off of your fridge water line.
