Frigidaire 3-in-1 Bottom Load Hot/Cold Water Cooler with Built-in Bullet Ice Maker, Stainless Steel

Be sure to clean this water cooler thoroughly. Fill with water and pull out the plugs to rinse. This Frigidaire water cooler is fantastic, it gets cold immediately after you hook it up, and as for hot water, it gets very hot. So be careful not to burn yourself. The ice maker makes ice fast. All components work absolutely great. I give it 5 stars, and highly recommend everyone to have this in their home.

I was really excited to purchase this water cooler because of the built-in ice maker. It seemed like the perfect all-in-one solution, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The biggest surprise was that the ice maker is not a freezer. This wasn't clearly stated in the product description. Once the ice basket fills up, the ice begins to melt if you don't remove it and transfer it to a freezer. That means you have to continually empty the basket, which adds an extra step and defeats the convenience of having an integrated ice maker. Another disappointment was the size. The unit is much shorter than I expected, so it has a smaller footprint than it appears in the photos. The ice basket is also located on the top of the unit, which takes away what could have been useful countertop or storage space. Additionally, there's an opening around the ice basket where lint and dust can easily fall into the compartment. Since the cold and hot water dispensing area is within that same compartment, it raises concerns about dust and debris entering the area where drinking water is dispensed. One concern I saw in other reviews was the child lock. I personally didn't experience any issues with it. If you follow the instructions—hold the lock button for about three seconds, then press the hot water button—it works as intended. You can dispense both hot and cold water without any issues. Overall, I think the concept is great, but the execution fell short for me. The lack of a freezer function, the small size, and the design of the ice compartment were significant enough that I decided to return the unit the day after receiving it. I hope Frigidaire considers these design improvements in a future version because it has the potential to be an excellent product.

Love the bottom-loading cabinet, means no more back-straining heavy lifting when changing 5-gallon bottles. It makes a lot of ice really fast. The hot water gets instantly hot enough for instant coffee or tea, and the bottom-load design keeps the water bottle hidden out of sight. Very well packaged. I had no damage on the product.

The water cooler arrived well packaged and with no damage. I really like the hot and cold water options, and the built-in ice maker is a great bonus. The bottom-load design makes it easy to replace the water bottle, and the black design looks nice and clean. It works great so far and I'm very happy with this purchase !!!

I really recommend this product! The hot and cold water functions work perfectly and it was a really convenient size for my home. I also had no problems with any plastic/metal taste after cleaning the cooler (thank you to the other reviews for letting me know to clean it). As for the ice maker, it also works really well and it's quite fast!

We loved this water cooler until 2 nights ago when the unit literally turned itself on in the middle of the night and all the water started pouring out onto our wood floor. Luckily I woke up to the sound of running water at 3:30 am and when I realized what was happening turned it off and cleaned up the mess. We turned it on the next day to see what would happen and it has worked fine, but we are afraid to leave it plugged in now when we are asleep or gone because it could have ruined the laminate wood floors in our house due to there being almost a full 5 gallon bottle inside the unit. We purchased the warranty, so I will be following up with them. Luckily, we avoided a catastrophe, but it could have been really bad and now we are scared it could happen again.

I love the design of this cooler. I love bottom loaders, and I love the hot/cold features. I'm even okay with the ice maker not keeping the ice cold. I get it! BUT what I HATE is how LOUD it runs, even after dispensing just a little water. We've had several different cooler styles and brands, and this is by far the loudest! I'm very disappointed.

Very happy with this purchase! The packaging was excellent, and the unit arrived in perfect condition with no damage at all. Setup was quick and easy thanks to the bottom-loading design. It dispenses both hot and cold water perfectly, and the built-in bullet ice maker is a great bonus—it makes ice quickly and is very convenient. The black finish also looks modern and stylish in the kitchen. Overall, a great product and I would definitely recommend it.

This cooler is a joke. The water dispensed tastes terrible! It is because it comes from melted ice. The reservoir that dispenses water is below the ice tray. The machine works fine for ice and for hot water. For the price, this is an unacceptable flaw! Take it from my mistakes: if you want ice, buy an ice maker; if you want a water dispenser, buy a water dispenser, but don't waste your money on this garbage. I would not recommend this product to anyone!

The water dispensed taste like plastic for over a week and we drink a lot of water. We had to throw away so much water because the taste was disgusting. I had return the product.
