We are very happy with our hot/cold dispenser. We use it for beverages, oatmeal and quick clean up. I put some of the hot water into my dirty dish/pot and then add cold water to the right temp before scrubbing. So much quicker than waiting for the tap water to get hot. we put a water filter on it so the cold water tastes great for drinking. Our tap water tasted too much like chlorine. It performs great and we are very happy with it.
