I just set the cooler up today. Instructions are simple complete and easy to follow. It appears to function as advertised and is attractive in appearance (black w/stainless front.) Other reviewers complained of noisy operation. I find it very quiet and not obtrusive in the least. I purchased this model specifically for the bottomloaded bottle and for the ozone selfcleaning system. It is so much easier to install the bottle. Its too soon to rate the selfcleaning system although I did run a cycle prior to using the water. This appears to be a quality product and is comparably priced with like products from other manufacturers. As of now I recommend this unit to anyone looking for the attributes described above.
So far its okay but Ive been using it less than a month. Child safety lock doesnt seem too difficult for a child to disengage but luckily my eight year old grandchild is big enough to not play with it and burn herself. Hot water is nice and hot at 173.4 degrees cold water is 45.5 degrees cool water is 58.7. I would prefer the cold water to be around 4240 degrees.
