There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The reason we chose Avalon to begin with was all of the positive reviews about the company themselves and how great they are to work with. I can 100% attest to this. This was the best customer service I have EVER had! They responded within hours of my emails and worked hard to fix the solution of a defective unit. I can say that we will be Avalon customers for life!!!
I also love the readily available hot water. I am a tea drinker so I can always just walk up with my tea cup and dispense hot water and my tea is ready within seconds! I don't have to wait to boil water stovetop or in the electric kettle. I have already recommended this to a friend who always buys bottled water. This saves on the plastic waste and also on time.
I did come across one issue after about 4 months of use. The cooling feature had stopped working. I contacted Avalon and their customer service rep was superb. I followed the recommended steps in the email and voila! My machine started working its wonders again.
Onto the replacement unit, worked well again for about 4 straight months. This morning, I woke up to the floor absolutely filled with water again. I removed the 3 gallon jug and cleaned the mess up, upon tilting the unit just slightly to drain the water into my sink, the whole unit was gushing out with water from the reservoir. This is a minor tilt about 10 degrees. No idea what these reservoirs are made out of but whatever it is, it does NOT seem to last.
Going to contact manufacturer to see if they will warranty the unit. At this point, i should have continued spending my money buying bottle water, than to try to save a few bucks filling up water at a local spring refiilling station. I'm out 80$ and there's telling if customer service will even fix this piece of junk.
Stay away from this brand. Will update after speaking to customer service.
***6/28/2019 Update
I am updating this review because I wanted to give some feedback on this issue.
I reached out to customer support and got in touch with Jill R. @ Avalon. She was very helpful and attempted a resolution. We went through the troubleshooting, the typical reseating the top ring, and re-seating center stack, and using a brand new 3 gallon bottle. Made no difference. Also a YouTube video from Avalon shows some units have a silicone seal. This product does not have it. The top seal is controlled by 4 twist clips. The problem i believe has to do with over time and loading 3/5 gallon bottles, the seal gets weakened. Not sure if this is an engineering problem but when gravity pulls the water down, those 4 twist clips will eventually let loose and unclip itself. Since there is no rubber or silicone seal/gasket, and when you get close to 1/3 of a water bottle, gravity wins over the O-ring gaps.
Anyways, my experience with customer service was fantastic. I have already replaced two of these units with Amazon customer service. Avalon Support also replaced this.
5 Star for Avalon Customer Service.
3 Star for Product.
Not 100% sure if this new unit will last either without leaking. But i have a 2x3 sqf wood floor that is pretty much ruined. That is not the fault of the water bottle, and i cant blame the product either. Could be bad luck, it could be because while feeding the 3/5 gallon bottles, the top O-ring got untwisted, loose over time.
I highly recommend following up with customer service. They did the right thing and was very professional. Better yet, they speak english and support their product.4
**7/15/2019**
Customer Service/Jill R. was able to work out a permanent resolution with me due to the fact that i now have a 2x3 sqft ruined floors. Jill R, offered a replacement to a bottom loading unit Avalon A6. I had to pay return shipping on the new replacement unit they sent me. This was a fair compromise as they paid for the last return shipping in exchange for a new bottom loading unit.
5 Star for Customer Service.
3 Star for top loading product.
Besides the top seal and leaking unit, i found the hot/cold function to work very well. I just don't know if i will ever take a chance at a top loading unit again. If you have a kitchen with tile floors, i would recommend it as bottom loading units are much more expensive. I can't speak to the durability of the unit but i hope this bottom loading unit will last at least several years. My neighbors have a Primo and Whirlpool unit that has lasted almost a decade.
Will update once I receive a new Avalon A6 unit.
We had one small issue after 11 months of use, and I have to say their customer service was exceptional. They sent out a replacement part quickly and followed up with us to ensure we were back in business! I would buy any of their products after dealing with this company!
