Product review (4 stars): Works great !
We have had this for approx. 1 month, and am hoping that it keeps working like it has. The hot water is nice and steamy - cold water nice and chilly.

We had another unit that used the Peltier effect cooling (see here for more details : ...().that made cool water (not cold), but after about 6 months it stopped working completely.

This unit is a real chiller using standard refrigerator technology - makes a bit of noise after draining the cold water, but it is reasonable. My expectations are that this will be more toward the small office type of unit with a longer service life - and be more repairable when that time comes.

The unit is sensitive to vibrations, so make sure you floor is very flat - or be prepared to put some shims under the low corner. You will notice a difference in noise, so it is worth a few minutes being on your hands and knees to resolve any issue you may have.

Check out their web site at (...) for more details on the technology (thank you Google!).
