Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Haier WDNS116BBS Water Dispenser with LCD Display
Customer Review: Awful Taste, Water Spills Everywhere
Summary: 2 Stars
In concept, this is a very nice water dispenser. The electronic features are a nice touch and make it look like an advanced, sophisticated unit. Unforutnately the unit falls short in practical use features.
First and foremost, the dispenser makes your water taste absolutely terrible for quite a while. I followed the rinse out instructions from the manufacturer and ran several extra gallons through the dispenser. I tried letting water sit with a little bit of bleach as well. This helped reduce the bad taste some but didn't eliminate it. Two weeks into using this unit, I can't handle the chemical/rubber taste and I'm going to return it.
Secondly, the dispenser has no anti-spill cap for the water bottle. The dispenser is designed so that the user must completely remove the cap from the water bottle and then dump the water into the completely open reservoir. This results in splashing everywhere and wasted water. On top of this, you can't really remove the water bottle to save the water should you need to clean/store the unit (or if you want to save the rest of your water for another dispenser that doesn't make your water taste like chemicals...). I also don't like that your water is exposed to the air and that the top of your bottle sits in the puddle of water in the reservoir.
Finally, the unit is very large and takes up a good amount of space.
On the plus side, there is a nice drainage cap for cleaning out the unit. The electronics on the unit allow you to adjust the temperature of the hot and cold water separately to taste. The blue LED nightlight is a nice touch as well. The storage cabinet below may be a nice feature for some people, but I found it to be largely useless. If they made the storage compartment refrigerated or large enough to store a spare bottle I would have loved it.
For me the water taste issue made this an unusable water dispenser/cooler. I've read reviews elsewhere saying the same thing so I don't believe this to be an isolated incident. On the other hand, I just received a Primo unit (top loading because of the problems with the bottom load ones) and from cup one there are no water taste issues even without a rinse-out.
