Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This Energy Star-compliant Haier water dispenser delivers fresh, ice-cold water to homes or offices, making pure water a refreshing, convenient option. The unit holds standard 2-, 3-, and 5-gallon bottles, negating the need to drink tap or pitcher-filtered water. As an alternative, it dispenses instant hot water through its child-safe faucet for coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. When hot or cold water just doesn't cut it, open the see-through refrigerated compartment to access a stored soft drink, fruit juice, sandwich, or other delectable.

The unit also features an indicator light that notifies the user when specific functions are activated, along with a removable drip tray for quick cleanup. The Energy Star label is particularly welcome for cost-efficient and environmentally minded users, as it signifies that the dispenser meets the energy efficiency guidelines developed by the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy. The unit is sized to fit in tight corners or along walls, with dimensions of 11-3/8 by 34 by 10-5/8 inches (W x H x D), with a weight of 35.3 pounds. --Rivers Janssen

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy this item. It's a complete piece of..., October 6, 2004

This review is from: Haier WDQS015 Water Dispenser with Storage Compartment (Tools & Hardware)
Amazon really needs to allow customers to use ZERO stars! [:-(]

This Haier water dispenser cost $100. Its construction and materials are extremely cheap. It's a wonder the thing made it to me in one piece. When one dispenses water from either nozzle, they actually bend, no matter how gently you treat them. This issue alone made this Haier unit unacceptable.

For anyone w/kids, especially teenagers, definitely do not buy this unit. I don't believe I'm exaggerating when I write "you'd be lucky if this unit lasted a week."

The *only* positive part of the transaction was Amazon's great service/system. Returning the item was a snap. They even offer an option where they'll issue a UPS call tag. So, for an extra $5.00, I didn't have to schelp this thing to a shipping place, they came to me... ;-)

Yesterday I did buy a water cooler/dispenser that is much, much more well constructed and sturdy. The difference between the two units is like night & day. Plus, the new unit, Whirlpool, is Energy Star compliant.

Whirlpool "Hot & Cold Water Cooler" ENERGY STAR®, Model: WHRA-425BS, Price: $127.00

Unlike the Haier, I'd highly recommend this unit to anyone. I don't know if Amazon sells it but, if they don't, they definitely should sell it.

Best regards,

Doug Olsen

p.s. Please note this review is the very first I've written about any online purchase. Trust me, I've bought more than my fair share over the past few years. Please consider this when you evalute both this unit and my review. I think visitors need to know I don't complain about every one of my online purchases because I want to read my review online. When I make the time to come back to an item to alert others that it's a piece of crap, there's a very real reason motivating that effort.

1.0 out of 5 stars BAD TASTE IN MOUTH, October 13, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Haier WDQS015 Water Dispenser with Storage Compartment (Tools & Hardware)
My Avanti cooler that I had for two years, spring a leak. I searched for another at a similar price and found the Haier WDQS015. I made a big mistake ordering this product. The cooler arrived and I read and followed the instructions to the letter. Within a few hours, the unit begain eminating a strange odor from behind it. I tried the water that I had dispensed from the new machine, and was shocked to find out it tasted like burnt plastic. I cycled the machine using the new bottle water (both hot and cold) and then replaced it with tap water. The next day, it still was terrible to drink and had the same taste. I called the manufacturer and they didn't know what to do and offered no advice, except to try cycling vinegar through it. They said this problem has never come up before. They referred me to two vendors that sell the machines locally that might help, but they were not help at all. I am going to try to run vinegar trhough it in the hopes of getting rid of the bad taste. If this does not work, I just spent a 100 bucks down the drain, as to find a box and ship it back for a refund just isn't worth the hassle. The last reviewer is correct; it's cheaply made and I do not recommend this product to anyone. Better to spend a few extra $$s and get something of quality. This unit literally "stinks".

1.0 out of 5 stars Piece of Junk, November 19, 2004

This review is from: Haier WDQS015 Water Dispenser with Storage Compartment (Tools & Hardware)
We had this unit for all of three months before it sprung a leak in the back and soaked the carpet in our apartment. When we called customer service they told us that we had to have the original receipt from when we bought it in order to get any kind of customer service. I'm sorry, is that standard?? I have never had anyone ask me for the original receipt. I will definitely never buy one of these again.
