1. A water purifier comprising:
a water purifier body;
a water outlet connectable to the water purifier body, the water outlet including:
a case forming an external appearance of the water outlet, the case including:
a front case to form a front surface and one side surface of the water purifier,
a rear case to form a rear surface, the rear case and the front case being coupleable to each other to form a space,
a top case to form an upper surface of the water purifier,

a manipulator configured to control the water purifier body, and
a water outlet nozzle configured to receive purified water from the water purifier body and to supply the purified water to an outside of the water purifier body according to input via the manipulator while the water purifier body is connected to the water outlet;
an adjusting device configured to adjust a height of the water outlet, the adjusting device including a moving bracket connected to at least a portion of the case and a driving portion including a roller configured to guide the moving bracket being moved along an upward and downward direction;
a connecting bracket connecting the case to the moving bracket, the connecting bracket is configured to cause the case to move upward and downward in connection with the moving bracket being moved along the upward and downward direction; and
a rotating device arrangeable in the space formed while the front case and the rear case are coupled to each other so that while the rotating device is arranged in the space, the rotating device is between the water purifier body and the water outlet, the rotating device including:
a fixed bracket fixable to an object to thereby couple the case of the water outlet to the object, and
a rotating bracket rotatable relative to the fixed bracket while the fixed bracket is fixed to the object so that as the rotating bracket is rotated, the case is rotated and positions of the front case, the rear case, the top case and the water outlet nozzle are changed,

wherein a height of the case, a height of the manipulator, and a height of the water outlet nozzle are adjustable by the adjusting device,
wherein the driving portion includes a first gear portion provided on the moving bracket, a second gear portion provided on the rotating bracket to be engaged with the first gear portion and a damper configured to adjust a moving speed of the moving bracket.
