Durable Brand of Water Dispenser/Cooler

[Yatta]

Akala ko not needed pa i plug to AC outlet yung bottom load para makapag dispense, needed pala.
Wala paba sa market na bottomload dispenser model na no need i plug sa AC outlet?

Kailangan nga AC power to activate the pump. Yun ang advantage ng top loader, gravity fed lang.

Yun din iniisip ko kung ano ba mas durable, yung lever kasi nabasa ko dito madali palitan, ewan ko lang sa button.

Same pala tayo ng choice sa black? Nagmahal pa pala instead of getting cheaper

di naman basta-basta nasisira ang lever at depende rin sa dami ng gumagamit.
pag max 4 persons lang sa isang household sigurado ako it will last sa lifetime ng dispenser unit especially mature users lahat.
just refrain from buying those steel bodied dispenser.
yung sa amin na bottom loader ay more than 7 years na pero okay pa rin but its body has shown some corrosion at the bottom part. naka elevate pa sya dahil meron tuntungan.

Try looking at Unilever PureIt Classic water dispenser ...

those with weak musculature and stature, i advise to shift to underside hidden jug models. they are significantly easier to re-fill.
other than that, the over-jug model is fine.

re. the tap dispensers.
mas madaling ma-paso o ma-basa the fingers, kapag lever-type, especially if one uses today's easy-to-collapse disposable cups.
ours is a GE model with push-button type. nevair been singed yet. also easier to use.
and after over ten years, never leaked, either.

how useful is that third, room-temperature tap?
we have one in the workplace, and i do not remember ever using it...

All else being the same, I prefer a push-button dispenser. The lever action is a cause for concern in terms of hygiene. Your glass or mug (or hands) will need to contact it, one way or another, to dispense liquid. And this sometimes can touch the rim of the glass where you put your mouth to sip liquid from. Everytime anyone makes 3-in-1 coffee, some of the back-splatter can reach the lever for bacteria to thrive on. How often does anyone actually clean or wipe off said lever?

With a push-button type, you can maintain zero contact between your glass and any part of the dispenser, except the bottom. Much safer, IMHO.

Sa office, we have two dispensers, a push-button and a lever type. Guess which dispenser I get my water from? ;)

spoken like a water dispenser critic with considerable experience!

seriously, sa office ninyo, which unit needs a refill more often? this probably reflects on the convenience of use.

I would guess it's the push-button one.

The lever type also requires you to lean forward and hold your glass all throughout the filling process. Sa push button, just put your glass on the dispenser and press the button with your body in an as-you-were relaxed position.

The small things talaga can make or break a product. lol

I was sold on the button na but then I realized I can't refill my pitcher of water because it wont fit

BTW, I saw this on Lazada. Super cheap. Is it worth considering? Nice Aesthetic too. Matches the color of our ref pero might be sirain?

feeling ko,
the innards of these various hot and cold water dispensers are probably pare-pareho, i.e., same manufacturers.
the external designs and the dispensing taps, are what make them different from one another, including price.
also, it is a given that branding affects the sticker price significantly. the more famous brand is priced higher.

one advantage of buying online, is the hassle-free delivery to the haus.

Weird implementation. The water faucets use knobs. It's not your typical push-button or lever type.



Anyway, it's a mature technology. As long as they have a service center and that they honor their warranty (5 years?), you'll be fine.

well,
over the decades, the pihit-gripo design is a proven design.
that is, if it were manufactured well.
i am not sure if plastic gripos are long-lasting.
sa traditional brass gripo kasi, periodic sapatilya replacement lang ang kelangan. cheap.
in this picture above, it's a 90 degree turn only, lending me to suspect, the tap mechanism is the newer-design ceramic type.

but yes,
effective warranty is king.

Has anyone considered na puro elderly seniors kasama ata ni Cathy sa bahay? May possible burn/scald risk sa push button type if hindi na-align yung bottle, cup, mug or what have you sa stream ng hot water.

Yes, mas hygenic nga yung push button type of course, but hindi naman ito public setting as much as an office na water dispenser ng bayan. Mas ma-tutukan naman linisin yan if for household use lang naman and kayo-kayo lang naman gumagamit.

Just saying...

Apples and oranges, IMHO. I doubt the faucets on that dispenser actually operates or resembles an actual residential faucet. More likely, the knob has a screw and/or cam mechanism that pushes a lever or plunger on the actual faucet when you turn it. In other words, the knob is not part of the faucet. It is essentially added as a decorative piece and I bet, if you remove all the front panels, you'll see a typical water dispenser faucet.

I just found it weird, in that, I've never seen such design.

Wow. I didn't notice this at all! Tixx is super cheap kasi but not much reviews and don't know about the warranty. Unlike Fujidenzo na I read reviews na mabilis naman pumunta. Though I searched YouTube and there are several repair videos on the Fujidenzo water dispeners [emoji24]

Yes. Even my fat lab is senior [emoji23]

That was my initial concern na kailangan aligned. Even me, I have to silip to make sure the mug is aligned when using the button dlspenser. Pero sa button naman no force needed like pushing the lever.

So hard to decide. Whenever I make a purchase kasi, I hate when my choice isn't good, worse e palpak hehe.

OT lang pero ang Panasonic consistent na best purchase, if only they had a water dispenser

Maganda sana yung parang sa office namin, ganito na if you don't want to push, pwede i angat lever. But then I don't like the brand "Tough Mama" tapos Marian Rivera pa endorser



This is the Fujidenzo option ko, hindi pwede i angat. Plus most dispensers I see are like that

This one looks good too. Isn't Condura famous for aircons? Kaya lang stainless steel which dr d doesn't recommend

Which is better pala? One spout (Condura) or separate spouts (Fujidenzo)?

I got my folks (seniors) a bottom loading Tylr dispenser from SnR. Still going strong for 5 years now:

Bottom-loading Water Dispenser – Tylrhome


I find the LCD screen helpful as it indicates how much water is left and what the temperatures are. The price online is a bit high as I do recall buying this for less than 9k (I think I got it on sale but I don't remember).

The button is also high up so they don't need to bend over to get water to their cup/glass.

That's an expensive brand pala

It seems like button na nga mostly. So now I just have to choose between Condura and Fujidenzo. Yung Condura weird na isa lang spout for hot cold and normal. Not sure if that is a PRO or CON

i like separate spouts, with color coding, even. tradition!
probably also less prone to error for un-informed users.

i wonder,
do they come in push-button models and not lever models as shown?
