Addico Milano Special Edition Cool & Cold Water Cooler, Black

by Addico

Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Why clutter your refrigerator with a water filtration pitcher, or throw away a fortune buying expensive bottled water, when you can slake your thirst with ice-cold drinking water from your own water cooler? This sleek and stylish Special Edition Milano water cooler can be used with almost all 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-gallon water bottles on the market today. To set it up, simply put the no-spill water valve on the water bottle, then place it upside down on the cooler base. If you wish, the bottle can be hidden with a hood that completes the cooler's cylindrical look, or be left uncovered. When the attached power cord is plugged in, the cooler's compact refrigeration unit efficiently cools water for one faucet, while the other faucet provides water at room temperature. With the hood in place, the cooler stands 51 inches tall and measures 12 inches at its widest point and 13-1/2 inches deep. --Benjamin Reese

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks, nice, does what it's supposed to do..., September 22, 2002

I'm happy with the Milano cooler I bought off Amazon (the free shipping was especially nice)! The cooler is attractive, yet a couple things I'll comment on: I thought when I bought it that it would have a hot water dispenser as well...Also, the picture looks like the silver parts on the cooler are metal, but in fact they are stickers...All in all, though, the cooler does look nice and does it's job just fine.

I have read the other reviews, and frankly I was surprised at the negative comments. I have been using my cooler now for a few months and have had no problems. It looks really, really cool (pun definitely intended). I bought the black. The water in the cold tap is VERY cold (and this in the year-long heat of the Caribbean sun). The water in the cool tap is cool - just as advertised. It takes up surprisingly little space.

I feel sorry for those who may have gotten a defective machine, but mine is working just fine.

Add to all this the convenience of not having all those bottles in the fridge - I DEFINITELY recommend.

One last thing ... you don't get a bottle with it though I think the presentation gives you that impression. That bottle shown is apparently to show the customer the non-drip valve cover (which works very well by the way).

December 2002: I wanted to add one more thing ... if the water begins to freeze in your compartment (mine did for some inexplicable reason nine months into use), the thermostat that the extremely brief instructions talk about is that screw that you see on the INSIDE of the grid. It is a little hard to get at, but once you do, it does what it's supposed to do. I STILL love this cooler after 15 months.

April 2006: Still works fine. Not one regret yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best system best price!, June 21, 2001

I don't miss the trips to the store for water. Tthe bottles took up to much room and they were heavy. Now I have it delivered at the cost I would pay at the store. We can drink refreshing cold water at our convenience. It's really great when you have company. They can help them selves without going through the icebox. The style will be a great match for every kitchen. I have a child so I was concerned about the water dripping however the drip tray is easy to empty. The splash system makes it so easy for even me to put new water bottles in without the worry of spilling. No matter how small of a drinking glass or how large of a water bottle I want to fill, they all fit great! The matching bottle cover makes a real clean look. No one has to ever see the water bottle. I love it so much I want to buy my mom one for a gift. No kitchen should be without one. I checked around for weeks for a good deal and this was the best system and the best price I found. When the system was delivered I took it out of the box and had it up and running in a matter of min.
