Tools and Hardware Reviews of Primo Water - Pioneer Stand Up Water Cooler
Customer Review: Exactly what I hoped for
Summary: 5 Stars
I notice they've raised this price in only just the last week or so (by around $20--wow!), which is disappointing, but even so, this water cooler is exactly what I had been looking for, and I'd buy it again, even at the higher price.
I am currently living on an American base in Germany, so I have limited options. This completely fit the bill. They rent almost identical units out here for $10 a month! This is a MUCH better deal, considering we will be here a few years. In addition, my order got to me in under 2 weeks, which is outstanding in my location, considering the size of the box. If you happen to be ordering from an APO/FPO, it is still an excellent decision, not nearly as slow as many other larger items I've ordered online.
The only 5 gallon water bottles available to me here are Culligan water bottles, and as it turns out, this cooler is PERFECT for those... It's designed to open the bottle for you, without you actually taking the cap off; you just peel the little seal off the bottle cap, and it opens up the bottle itself once it is overturned in the unit without any spillage at all, just by putting the bottle into the unit.
The cold is truly cold. The hot is hot... the only criticism I have on the hot is that if you have more than a couple of cups to fill, you will have to wait for it to reheat to get more truly hot water.
I like that it has a safety dispenser on the hot water spigot. I feel much safer using it with young children in the house.
Customer Review: Good company, super fast shipping, good product
Summary: 5 Stars
This company is one of the best companies that done business online. I placed my order for the cooler on Friday night and Tuesday morning it was delivered to me!!! It was unbelievable since I bought a 5 gallon bottle to go with the cooler from another seller and it's still not coming yet. Even though I haven't gotten my bottle, I can still pour water in and use it. The inside tank holds about 2 gallon of water. The product is good, very clean and reliable. There are switches in the back to turn on/off heating or cooling functions. The design is very nice and blend well in my room. I bought this cooler based on the other comment I saw on Amazon. I just want to confirm that it's true. Hope this will help other buyersCustomer Review: Good for only two years!
Summary: 2 Stars
This cooler was great when we first got it. We got a lot of use out of it, and the hot and cold worked perfectly. However, after only two years of use, the entire cooler started leaking all over the floor. It is very poorly made. If you are looking for a cooler that will only last a couple of years and are not willing to spend the money for a better quality cooler than this one should do the trick. Just don't expect it to last more than a couple of years.Customer Review: Had some issues
Summary: 3 Stars
Item arrived quickly and in good condition. However, I do have some issues with the product's design:
It performs well; that is, it heats and cools the water as advertised. However, it is much smaller than I expected (shame on me for not reading the dimensions more closely). I'm an average height (5' 10"), yet I had to bend fully at the waist in order to reach the nozzles. I put the unit on a 12" platform in order to be able to reach the nozzles more comfortably. The nozzle handles are set into the unit, which is good if you want to prevent snagging on clothing in high traffic areas, but is a bit more difficult to use because the handles interfere with the spouts, particularly with larger containers. There is very little room beneath the spouts, as well, so even filling a normal 12-16 oz glass without spilling can be a challenge. It is impossible to change the bottle without spilling. There is an odd five inch probe-like apparatus that extends into the neck of the bottle when installed which you have to get the bottle over, and I haven't successfully done so without losing a pint or so. Messy. Good deal for the money, I suppose, but overall not particularly well engineered.
Customer Review: I love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
After wandering through my purchased list I noticed that this handy little thing had no reviews. Being that I did infact purchase it and LOVE it, I figured I would let you know just how much I love it!
Please do not let the fact that only one person has rated this item deter you from buying it. Myself and my friend experienced fast shipping, good packaging and a product that works the way its suppossed to. It has a little light that comes on when the water is ready for cold or hot and I just cannot get enough of it! Its wonderful!
