About Frigidaire EFWC498, Top Load Hot & Cold Water Cooler Dispenser for Home
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
75% appreciated the large water storage capacity, but 25% found it insufficient
I believe the product is worth the cost.
After only 4 months, the dispenser started leaking.
75% liked the modern and sleek design, but 25% found it unattractive
The dispenser fits neatly into the corner of my kitchen and is quiet.
The dispenser has a slender profile that fits in any small place in my kitchen.
I am dissatisfied with the product's design, particularly the poorly designed spouts that require the user to have the item being filled directly under the spout to avoid splattering water.
I waited to set up the product because it was in a huge, ugly box and I needed to make room for it. This indicates that the design of the product is not aesthetically pleasing.
80% praised for its durable construction, while 20% experienced breakdowns
The lock on our hot water is sufficient to prevent accidents.
After only 4 months, the product started leaking.
I am dissatisfied with the company's lack of responsiveness.
Apparently, there is no quality control.
81% found it easy to operate and clean
It was easy for me to use and setup, and it worked fine for about 3 bottles.
I found the safety switch easy to understand and use.
The unit allows my grandkids to get their own cold water, making them feel grown up and encouraging them to drink more water.
The dispenser has helped me a lot as I no longer have to boil water for cooking or cleaning residue from pots and pans.
76% found it easy to install and set up
I can make a cup of tea right from the faucet, indicating that the installation and setup of the hot-cold-water-dispensers is good.
75% appreciated the integrated safety features, although 25% found them inadequate
The hot water gets hotter than my coffee and the safety switch is easy enough to figure out.
It is difficult to load a bottle onto the unit without spilling water. I have found a way to do it without spilling water, which requires two people to ensure no spillage. This shows that the safety features of the product are not up to the mark.
93% praised for its precise temperature control
The dispenser keeps hot water hot enough to make tea and cold water very cold.
The cold and hot water features work fine.
