1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality - Mistake to Buy, November 24, 2004

I have been making purchases of all kinds of merchandise from Amazon.Com for over two years. I was always more than satisfied with the products quality and service received from Amazon.

But purchasing this $99 dollar Haier Water Dispenser was the biggest mistake I ever made. I owned it for 1 month. Could never get the water cold enough to enjoy (no temp control) and it always had a funny plastic taste. Called their (Haier) tech support. They were terrific people and tried to help. But there was no answer for those problems. Just purchased a $200 dollar, brand name water cooler from my spring water deliver man. It has a temp adjustment and the water is icy cold. Also the water tastes like it should - no plastic taste.

I'm delighted with it. Wish I could have said the same about my purchase from Amazon of the Haier Water Dispenser.

I placed the Haier unit at the curb the other day and watched the trash man throw it in the back of the trash compactor truck.

Amazon - do yourself a favor - get rid of this dog...

I hardly ever write a negative review, but I suggest you avoid this product.

On the plus side, it is a good price for a water dispenser. I was excited to replace my old water cooler with this new one at a very good price.

Two problems.

1. The water comes out SUPER SLOW. It's half the speed of a my last model. No big deal you think -- but you'd be surprised how annoying this becomes by your 10th cup!

2. The cold doesn't get that cold. Again, not a huge deal, but if you like your cold water sort of, well, cold, this isn't the unit for you.

Very disappointing.

1.0 out of 5 stars piece of junk with horrible customer service, February 8, 2005

If I could give this company negative scores I would.

I ordered this as a gift for my mom. It broke the week after it was purchased (new) and left a giant puddle of water in her kitchen. Then the jerks at Haier promised to send her a new unit but keep telling us "the shipment was lost" or "there was a problem". What a waste of money.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!!!
