Brio Essential Series Top Loading Water Cooler Dispenser - Tri Temp Dispense, Child Safety Lock, Holds 3 or 5 Gallon Bottles - UL/Energy Star Approved

I think this is a great investment, especially if you and your family want to drink more water but don’t want to spend the money buying filtration systems or water bottles. The water dispenser works excellently. The cold water is cold and the hot water is always hot, which is great. No need to put the kettle on for tea. This is a one stop shop for clean water. The dispenser is relatively quiet. When it is cooling water, it just turn on and make some noise but that is expecting since it is working. It is equivalent to the sound of the fridge kicking on to create ice cubes or cool down the inside after the door has been open for a while. It is just a quiet hum. I am very happy with my purchase and this was well worth the investment.

Exceptional value. Great asset to house. Recommendation at the highest.

I wish I could have given this product 5 stars. I ordered this top loader water cooler for my home. I’ve only had it for a few weeks. I read a lot of reviews about this product before buying it. Every review is up for discretion even mine. There’s only one thing I can say bad about this product and it seemed to be the same in most of the reviews. When, I plugged in the product it was quiet. Then, I turned on the cold water compressor/motor. There began the noise. When the compressor/motor comes on the machine is really loud. This noise is different from the humming because it’s plugged in. The compressor /motor sounds like an old car trying to start and when it does it definitely will startle you. There is also a little rattle noise from the back of the component when the compressor/motor runs as well. The compressor/motor doesn’t stay on long. The noise is annoying for sure especially if you have a small home like mine. The design and the style of the water cooler matches my appliances. One of the reasons why I chose this product is for it’s design. I only wanted the water cooler for the ease of drinking cold water and not going in and out my refrigerator. I have not tried the room temperature nor the hot water function as of yet. I think the cold water is as cold as if you were to get it from your refrigerator. There are 3 buttons on the machine Hot, Cold and Room temperature. The hot water button does have a lock on it. There are two more buttons on the side of the machine. This is to turn on/off the compressor/motor for the hot and cold water. I haven’t had any leaks thus far. The water cooler is very easy and simple to use. It’s light enough for a small woman like myself to move if you need to clean around it. The instructions are easy to read and understand. The item in the box may be a little heavy just saying. The size is great for my small space. Oh yes, the price was great too. Hope the pictures help too.

Works good been 6 months now

I bought this water dispenser in October 2025 and for the last 2 months the cold water is not working on and off and now it completely doesn't produce cold water. Disappointed in this purchase!!

Good quality and easy to clean. Hot enough for tea or coffee, it should last for a while.

I love having ice cold, room temperature or hot water for tea on tap. Since purchasing this water cooler, I have cut my soft drink consumption to nearly zero and replaced my drinking habits with only water or tea. I needed to clean it after the 2 month mark because it started tasting like mildew, but that's expected of any cooler. When the compressor kicks on, its noticeable, but after a while, it just becomes background noise. Overall a good purchase.

Flimsy.
