My parents got me this system as a housewarming gift and it’s been great! The tap water right now tastes like lakewater due to the algae bloom in the local reservoir, but this machine makes it taste great again and quickly dispenses hot water for ramen and tea. Setup was as easy as finding a spot on the countertop, filling the water tank, and plugging it in. The instructions are clear, and there are a ton of options for how much water to dispense at a time and water temp (including a formula temp for mixing baby formula). I’ve replaced my zojirushi water boiler with this since the hot water function is integrated and so fast. The only thing I wish I could change is to make the dispenser height a little higher so that my sodastream bottles fit underneath. Right now it’s just a quarter inch short so I need to pour the water directly from the pitcher into the sodastream bottle (first world problems, I know). Overall, it’s been great and made me want to drink plain water again!

We are renting, hence we can’t install an RO system under the sink. This system was the perfect solution! Our city water tastes and smells like it comes from a swimming pool, but when we run it through this RO system, we enjoy the taste and feel confident in drinking it.
