    Wala paba sa market na bottomload dispenser model na no need i plug sa AC outlet?
    Kailangan nga AC power to activate the pump. Yun ang advantage ng top loader, gravity fed lang.

    di naman basta-basta nasisira ang lever at depende rin sa dami ng gumagamit.
    pag max 4 persons lang sa isang household sigurado ako it will last sa lifetime ng dispenser unit especially mature users lahat.
    just refrain from buying those steel bodied dispenser.
    yung sa amin na bottom loader ay more than 7 years na pero okay pa rin but its body has shown some corrosion at the bottom part. naka elevate pa sya dahil meron tuntungan.

    those with weak musculature and stature, i advise to shift to underside hidden jug models. they are significantly easier to re-fill.
    other than that, the over-jug model is fine.

    re. the tap dispensers.
    mas madaling ma-paso o ma-basa the fingers, kapag lever-type, especially if one uses today's easy-to-collapse disposable cups.
    ours is a GE model with push-button type. nevair been singed yet. also easier to use.
    and after over ten years, never leaked, either.

    how useful is that third, room-temperature tap?
    we have one in the workplace, and i do not remember ever using it...

    All else being the same, I prefer a push-button dispenser. The lever action is a cause for concern in terms of hygiene. Your glass or mug (or hands) will need to contact it, one way or another, to dispense liquid. And this sometimes can touch the rim of the glass where you put your mouth to sip liquid from. Everytime anyone makes 3-in-1 coffee, some of the back-splatter can reach the lever for bacteria to thrive on. How often does anyone actually clean or wipe off said lever?

    With a push-button type, you can maintain zero contact between your glass and any part of the dispenser, except the bottom. Much safer, IMHO.

    Sa office, we have two dispensers, a push-button and a lever type. Guess which dispenser I get my water from? ;)

    spoken like a water dispenser critic with considerable experience!

    seriously, sa office ninyo, which unit needs a refill more often? this probably reflects on the convenience of use.

    I would guess it's the push-button one.

    The lever type also requires you to lean forward and hold your glass all throughout the filling process. Sa push button, just put your glass on the dispenser and press the button with your body in an as-you-were relaxed position.

    The small things talaga can make or break a product. lol

    I was sold on the button na but then I realized I can't refill my pitcher of water because it wont fit

    BTW, I saw this on Lazada. Super cheap. Is it worth considering? Nice Aesthetic too. Matches the color of our ref pero might be sirain?

    feeling ko,
    the innards of these various hot and cold water dispensers are probably pare-pareho, i.e., same manufacturers.
    the external designs and the dispensing taps, are what make them different from one another, including price.
    also, it is a given that branding affects the sticker price significantly. the more famous brand is priced higher.

    one advantage of buying online, is the hassle-free delivery to the haus.

    Weird implementation. The water faucets use knobs. It's not your typical push-button or lever type.



    Anyway, it's a mature technology. As long as they have a service center and that they honor their warranty (5 years?), you'll be fine.
