Whynter Free-Standing Hot and Cold Water Dispenser with Storage - Stainless Steel/ Black Review
When our GE cooler went on the blink I purchased this model. As I researched coolers I focused on price, size, and design/style. Basically I wanted a cooler that was a) around 0, b) tall enough so I wouldn't have to stoop down too much (I'm 6'2), and c) provided good water flow. br /br /Many dispensers are short - you have to pay attention to the height measurement provided. Some "free standing" models (versus table-top) are in reality table-top models with an added base for them to sit on. This design makes me uncomfortable as I don't like the idea of a heavy water bottle sitting on top of a 2-piece structure. I'm more comfortable with "true" free-standing designs such as this model.br /br /Also I was unsure if coolers using the "spigot" design (spigot dispensers using control levers on top of the spigots) were better than push-button designs as this model used. Typically in offices you see spigot dispensers and they always have good flow. On the flip-side spigot dispensers look like they belong in an office - not really a look I'd like for my kitchen. br /br /In the end this dispenser provided everything I was seeking. The cold water is cold enough, and easy to dispense. I can't comment on the hot water temperature since we don't use it for that - I keep that power turned off and dispense room temperature water from the hot. It does flow well though.br /br /PROS: Price, height, water flow, style (looks good in the kitchen)br /CONS: Loading collar (where you load water bottle on top) a bit small so takes practice to avoid spillagebr /br /One final note: my first dispenser came damaged (side panel badly dented). Whynter customer service was good about sending me a new one quickly and paying the freight to have UPS ship the damaged unit back. And UPS came to my house so I didn't have to truck the thing to a drop-off location.

Whynter Free Standing Hot-Cold Water Dispenser - Definite thumbs up! - D. Smith -
I purchased this about a month ago after reading the reviews and it was the best purchase I have made. I love it! Very small and compact, will fit anywhere. Does not make loud noises either like other ones do. Very modern looking too! I recommend this to anyone thinking about purchasing a water dispenser. For me it was a great buy, I'm drinking more water now than I ever have!
Far superior to the Igloo sold on Amazon - Bruce - Houston, TX
I bought the Igloo hot and cold dispenser sold on Amazon, tried it for half a day and then boxed it up and sent it back because it sounded like a loud truck sitting in the kitchen when the compressor started up. The Whynter is almost completely silent, looks great and pumps out the hot water hot and the cold water cold. What a difference versus the Igloo!
