10 best water coolers

Having quietly entered the everyday life of the employees of any respected company, coolers more and more actively penetrate the apartments, becoming one of the most necessary devices for the home, along with a refrigerator, stove and microwave. After all, it is no secret to anyone that bottled water is cleaner and healthier than that which goes through the old pipes through the whole city, and, of course, tastes better. In many ways, this explains the rapidly growing popularity of coolers as appliances for the home. Moreover, many modern coolers, or, as they are also called, dispensers, not only make it easy to dispense water, but often they can also heat or cool it. Such models are especially useful for the office, because they allow employees to quickly brew a bag of tea or instant coffee, so as not to waste time visiting nearby cafes, cafeterias or dining.

At first glance, the coolers are very similar and the buyer is not always clear why one device is sold for a couple of thousand rubles, and the other one will cost almost a whole salary. However, the device is much more diverse than it might seem. Water dispensers differ not only and not so much in design, as in the possibilities and features of operation. Therefore, when choosing a cooler, it is recommended to pay attention to a number of important points:

1. Type of instalation. The most common floor and desktop dispensers. The former are considered an attribute of large companies, while the latter are excellent for home or small offices.
2. The method of water supply. Most coolers include the installation of the bottle on top, but in some floor models it is placed below. This greatly facilitates the replacement of the bottle.
3. Control. In low-cost models of the mechanical type, in order to pour water into the cup, you will need to press and hold the lever with your hand or mug. But there are coolers with push-button and even touch controls. Some of them may be additionally equipped with a display.
4. Functionality and level of its implementation. The simplest dispensers are able to pour water only at room temperature. Representatives of the middle segment and premium class, as a rule, get the functions of heating and cooling, and also sometimes allow you to adjust the temperature. At the same time, the power and rate of change in water temperature vary greatly among models.
5. Security. This parameter is especially important when choosing a cooler for a home where there is a child, or a kindergarten. Here it is better to give preference to basic models without heating functions, or at least to devices with internal placement of the heated elements and special protection from children on the hot water tap.
6. Additions. Floor-mounted appliances can be equipped with a small versatile cabinet, ozonizer, wine cabinet, and even a refrigerator.

When distributing the positions of our ranking of the best coolers, the following important indicators of the quality and properties of the devices were taken into account:

• specifications;
• customer reviews;
• professional reviews;
• descriptions of models on the manufacturer's website;
• test results

Best home coolers

It is not always possible to install a large floor unit in such cramped conditions. But to find a little free space on the cabinet, which stores kitchen utensils, a dining table or the working surface of a kitchen, fortunately, almost always succeeds.

Otherwise, however, they often only benefit. After all, desktop coolers are not only compact and weigh less, but cost much less. Their separate advantage can be considered the ability to place the device anywhere.
