2.0 out of 5 stars Poor design, April 2, 2006

I liked the idea of the filtered tap water cooler, but Brita's design is poor. I am only able to get a glass and a half of cold water (about 24 ounces), then you have to wait unless you don't mind drinking warm water. I have the thermostat turned to the coldest posistion, and the water is cool, but not cold. I don't like Brita's filters also, even after soaking them you still get the black specs in your water for the first bottle or two of water.
The only thing I did like was the endless hot water, why they couldn't do that with the cold is beyond me.
I went and purchased the PUR brand hot/cold cooler, and that is 100% better. The water gets as cold as if it were kept in the fridge, and I can get more than a glass and a half of cold water. The PUR filters produced no charcoal bits at all.
