I purchased this water cooler to replace one that I had rented from Poland Springs for seven years. This water cooler functions well. Hot water is hot enough to make tea or other hot drinks and the cold water is fairly cold. The problem is that the reservoir for the cold water is made of soft plastic and it makes the Poland Springs water that I pay dearly for taste like plastic. My previous rented water cooler had a stainless steel reservoir which did not affect the taste of the water. There is a stainless steel reservoir for the hot water, so it isn't as badly affected. The company assures me that the taste will "go away eventually," but after several months, I'm not holding my breath. If I had it to do over again, I would definitely shop around for a water cooler that had ALL stainless steel reservoirs.

DO NOT BUY THIS COOLER - it makes the water taste bad, like plastic. I have "flushed" the cooler with more than 6 gallons of boiling water as instructed by Ice Mountain, and that fixes the "plastic" taste for about 2 days. Then the taste slowly starts to come back, and by the 5th day after the flush it's back with a vengeance - worse than it was before! No point in buying bottled water if the cooler is going to make it taste awful!

The unit does not come with a bottle cover as advertized

My last water cooler cost more to run annually than the total purchase price of the Addico Milano! Elegantly styled, this cooler would look great anywhere in your home. Definitely worth every penny!

I have the Addico Milano cool/coldwater water cooler model 405C. For the life of me I cannot find something as simple as the Addivalve No-Splash cap that fits on the bottles. Do they screw on or snap on? I could not contact the company in Canada as the company link was obsolete (as were other dead end sites). I tried endless searches to no avail. Does anyone have a cap they can part with? Also, I'm getting mixed signals about this cooler. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground where consumers are concerned. Seems they either love the thing or hate it. It looks like it is cheaply made and has shoddy parts. There was no cover that came with this cooler either. If anyone has or knows where I can get a cap cheap or gratis, I'd appreciate it. Please put Addico Milano Cap in the subject field. Thank you!softtide@hotmail.com

This is definitely the ideal water cooler to have and I would recommend it to anyone looking for one. Stylish and compact, it's great for anyone with limited space and also has a hot-water, child-safety spigot for households with small children. The white version blends into our kitchen color scheme perfectly.

This is the best water dispenser I've been able to find. I especially like the black color option as it fits into my home decor more subtley. GET IT!
