Discount Vitapur VWD1006BLP-BL Bottom Load Water Dispenser

Customer Ratings:

I chose to return this item before I even used it. The product description does not accurately describe how it works. I've had a similar item by a different manufacturer for 4+ years until it recently broke. To replace it I thought I would try a sleeker looking brand of the same item. Well, it's not the same. My old unit provided INSTANT Hot water. The Vitapur instructions booklet explains that to obtain hot water you have to press a red button then wait up to 3 minutes for Hot water to dispense. In 3 minutes I could boil water on the stove and not need this unit! The item description did not detail this part of it's functioning.

Also, every time I opened the door to the lower storage area where the water bottle is place, the door would fall off! The hinge mechanism (if you can even call it that) is one of the cheapest designs I've ever seen and clearly does not work! For an item that is over $200 it is Not worth the money!

Although some reviews said this product was noisy, I do not agree. There is some mechanical noise when the unit is recharging its fill tank, however it only lasts a few seconds. Water is served hot or cold and works great! This is a quality built stand-alone water cooler.I am very pleased with this water cooler.

I read on other reviews of this product that said it was a bit noisy and they were true. The noise is similar to an older wall mounted air conditioner. For me it's worth not having to wait for my bf to pick up the water bottle or spilling some of it on the floor when I do it myself. It's much better looking than the top loading ones with the exposed bottle, it also has lighting in the cup area that's bright enough to not need additional lighting for a late night cup of water or tea.

Update 5/2013: It is much louder now when it is even close to empty (1/3 of a bottle left) but otherwise at the same level noted above when just cooling/heating or pumping water into the dispensing part. I have to advise that when it is close to empty it's very, very loud now (& was not as bad previously). I still like it because of the ease of use, but had to downgrade it to 3 stars because the increased noise can't bode well for it's longevity (it is cleaned every other month with a vinegar and water solution-I used to rent a water disp at work and that's what they cleaned them with ev 3 months). I started cleaning it more often (1x per mo), in case build up was causing the noise, but that did not improve it.

Honest reviews on Vitapur VWD1006BLP-BL Bottom Load Water Dispenser

I was looking for a stainless steel water dispenser to complete my theme in my new kitchen and after several purchases and returns, I found the Vitapur dispenser and I love it. It is quite and only makes noise when it is filling up after use. If you need instant hot water, this machine is not for you because you have to wait at least three minutes which I don't mind. Anyway, hope it last a very long time because it is awesome.

Love it Val
