Fantastic Addition to My Home Sauna Setup!

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

Color: Black&whiteVerified Purchase

I recently purchased the Avalon A2TLWATERCOOLER Top Loading Water Cooler Dispenser, and it has exceeded all my expectations. I've been using it for about a month now, and I haven't encountered a single issue.

I specifically bought this water cooler for my home sauna, and it has proven to be a fantastic addition to the relaxation space. The top-loading design is convenient and easy to use, allowing for quick refills without any hassle. The sleek and modern appearance also complements the aesthetic of my sauna, adding a touch of style to the environment.

One of the standout features for me is the reliable performance. The water dispenser consistently delivers refreshing and chilled water, making it a perfect companion for my sauna sessions. The hot water function is equally efficient, providing warm water when needed.

Overall, I highly recommend the Avalon A2TLWATERCOOLER for anyone in need of a reliable and stylish water cooler. It has truly enhanced my home sauna experience, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Simplicity, Excellent Design, Functional

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2023

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

At first I was going to go all out and buy a bottom loading, high dollar water cooler, but some of the bad reviews and problems people experienced scared me. So I chose to go with a basic and functional design. I didn't want digital touch buttons that could fail or a pump system that might leak.

I chose this basic design, top loading water cooler, and I couldn't be happier. If I experience any issues, I will update this review.

The noise is seriously almost non-existent. It looks great and appears to be well made. The hot water is actually hot although I did not measure the temp. The cold water is very cold too.

It was a good buy.

Watercooler is perfect for the office – great customer support & service!

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

We needed to replace our old watercooler that died last year. Having a functioning cooler with both hot and cold dispensing is critical at our office! Did some research and eventually went with this Avalon model as it had good reviews. It was delivered in October 2018. Not much to getting it up and running – quite easy, actually. It's been used heavily on a daily basis and works quite well.

Fast forward and it's now August 2019. A problem developed: the cold water tap began leaking! Jiggling the spigot did not help. Researching the issue didn't lead to much. We were faced with an unnecessary expense of replacing the nearly brand new cooler way too soon.

Finally, I went ahead and emailed Avalon's support, not expecting much. However, I was pleasantly surprised to have received a very prompt reply from the Avalon Customer Support rep, Karissa J. She identified the potential issue(s) and sent me multiple support web links with videos and "how-to's" to try and solve the problem myself.

The leading culprit was likely to be some kind of debris in the line or spigot, causing the leak. A fairly common issue with ALL coolers, from what I've just learned. Unfortunately, I was initially not able to clear it myself. Karissa corresponded with me a number of times to try and resolve the problem quickly. Ultimately, a new spigot replacement (under warranty) was sent to us.

Installing the new spigot was fairly straightforward. The "how-to" videos were enormously helpful with that process. And yes, the issue is now resolved! A new bottle was placed on the unit and NO leak! The cooler is back in business and we're all happy again.

Overall, this cooler is perfect for us, as we go through many bottles of water a month. Whether hot or cold, it's done the job well. Even though we did have a leaking spigot, the Avalon Customer Service was Excellent! Have to thank Karissa again for going above and beyond in helping us resolve the problem quickly.

It works very well, gives me cold water, saves room, and is very easy to use.

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2015

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

I go through a ton of water in a day, and am not a huge fan of tap water, which means about 10 jugs of water at a time sitting around my house. Which also leads to the problem of making sure I have water jugs in the fridge so they are cold, which has not always happened, hence the reason I decided to try out the Avalon Hot/Cold Top Loading Water Cooler!! I have been wanting a water cooler for a while now and finally decided to go ahead and get one.

These take 3 or 5 gallon jugs which sit on the machine perfectly, and of course the water lasts a lot longer than gallon jugs. When the item arrives, you are pretty much ready to use it, place your water jug on the top, let the water bubble out and fill the tank, plug the cooler in and turn on the switch. The first time I used this, I went back an hour later to test the water, and it was VERY cold, love it! To get the water itself out, all you need to do is place the cup against the tab and the water comes right out, so easy to do, and can be done one handed.

There is also a hot water dispenser on this cooler but I have not tried it out yet.. If you decide you want to use the hot water, there is a separate switch on the back to turn on for just hot water.

If you would like to mount the water cooler, it does come with hardware for you to do this. I did not use it, I just placed the water cooler in a cooler in my kitchen.

I will say I was not a huge fan of the shipping and packaging, and did need to order a replacement, but it was sent out in a few days. I would recommend more protection during shipment. However, I am rating the product in this review, not shipment.

Overall, I am VERY happy with this product. It works very well, gives me cold water, saves room, and is very easy to use.

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion

Product lasted a bit more than a year

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

I will say that this was a great machine until it stopped heating water. Product worked great for about 15 months, then the hot water option stopped functioning all together. After back and forth with the manufacturer and them instructing me to order the cleaning kit (not sure why since the hot water did not function) and performing the cleaning per instructions, it did not to fix the issue. Of course this happened after the 1 year warranty expired, as usual. So now I have a machine I spent $150 only to trash it and buy another. DO NOT PURCHASE!

good customer service

Reviewed in Canada on September 15, 2022

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

I received a unit and it worked well, for 3 days, then , the cooler stopped working all together, I contacted customer service , they sent me a few hints, and after a few communication, they told me to return it to amazon
So they did an advance replacement, and they sent me a new one. I installed the new one , returned the old one in the box of the new one, and , in a week every thing was pretty much over, the unit makes a little bit more noise the the cooler I had before , but, nothing too alarming, I use it with a Santevia water purifier on top, and Santevia has a video telling you how to adapt the cooler for it . great result at the end, the water heater work very well as well. its nice to be able to put it on and off when you need it . So over all, if you include the good customer's service from both Avalon and Amazon , I am satisfied since at the end , the story is a happy one,

NOT A GOOD CHOICE

Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2021

Color: Black&whiteVerified Purchase

When I looked up product review, it was the "best rated" unit on the market. Most likely because they paid to have this review. It is VERY NOISY, and has a loud buzz which is usually electrical.... sounds like a loud fridge. As well, whne cooling, there is a constant bubbling noise that drives a person nuts. I have an old GLACIER model, that will go back in use over the Avalon...... it's junk !

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

Unfortunately I received one slightly damaged and noisey when cooling function was on. I contacted the company about said issues. In my opinion they went above and beyond to keep a happy customer. They sent me a replacement unit. I think how well they treated me speaks volumes. These are nice looking units that function well at what I would consider a very reasonable price. My previous Cascade cooler lasted almost 35 years. I don't think anything these days will match that. Still good value though.

Not hot enough

Reviewed in Canada on October 30, 2021

Color: Black&whiteVerified Purchase

The hot water is nowhere near Hot enough for morning coffee, unless you want to guzzle it straight away and there is no temperature adjustment.
We also find the tapered ends of the filling paddles let the cup slip off easily, frustrating as it slams the valve closed before you want.
