Since we live on a well system in New Mexico, we needed a water dispenser that could dispense hot, cold and room temp. And because our house in a soft contemporary (see pics), we needed a dispenser that was modern. Avalon's A3 was perfect. It's stainless steel look along with its clean lines and contemporary style fit perfectly in our stainless steel kitchen. Its functionality, so far (had it a week), works as described at this website...the hot water is 180 degrees (we tested it, just for fun), the cold water is cold (not ice cold) and the room temp water is, well, room temp. 5 gallon jugs fit easily and the set up is also easy. Now the most important part...is it quiet? ... Yes! Ours doesn't run that much (to heat and chill the water), but when it does it pretty darn quiet...about as loud as small dorm room mini-fridge...maybe quieter. So, big thumbs up for the A3. Excellent product, easy-to-read set up instructions and great product design.
Product was easy to set up and water dispenses from each temperature spout. So far so good. Bottom loading feature is very convenient and much more pleasant to deal with than top loading units.
Excellent product. leak indicators did not function when it comes to the actual leaked. Installation guide confusing did not elaborate well where to push/pull
