Avanti Hot/Cold Tabletop Water Cooler  Product Reviews

"Because of the needs of our small office I was determined to get a small water cooler/heater and this was the only model I could find. The 3rd unit seems to be fine (I returned the other two because they were defective and either didn't heat or didn't cool the water. Flush the unit well and run a little vinagar and water through it to get rid of the plastic taste. "

"This product uses the standard water bottles but, does not hold but a little over 16 oz. of water at a time. It says in the handbook that if you use 2 cups of water, it will take the machine 25 minutes to get the next 2 cups cold. It doesn't say that in the description on the item. Product does not have the piercing device that you turn the water bottle upside down on. So I'm not sure how the water is supposed to drain into the very small reservoir. If you have to remove the entire cap from the top of the water bottle, that is very dumb. I will stick with the cooler I have that sets on the floor taking up room."
