BrioModerna Self-Cleaning Bottleless Countertop Water Cooler Dispenser - with 3-Stage Water Filter and Installation Kit, Tri Temp Dispense, and LED Night Light - UL/Energy Star Approved

fantastic addition to my home office. It delivers both hot and cold water at the touch of a button, making it incredibly convenient for quick drinks or instant meals. The sleek design fits well into any space, and the dispenser operates quietly, which is a big plus.However, I noticed that the cooling is a bit slow, and the temperature range could be broader—currently, it offers 176-196°F for hot water and 39-59°F for cold. The touch-only control at the bottom lacks tactile feedback, which can be frustrating when you’re in a hurry. Additionally, the built-in water filters aren’t sufficient for high-quality filtration, so I recommend using it with a Reverse Osmosis System for the best results.Despite these minor drawbacks, this water cooler is still a great choice for anyone looking for convenience and style in their water dispenser.

Installation was a little bit hard but this operates well and looks great.

The water cooler/filter works as stated. There’s a breaking in period, after that you have clean fresh water that’s better than bottle. Adjusting the temperatures is fantastic. Cold ice cold. Hot is hot. You can fit a 28 ounce bottle easily on the shelf. The unit itself is big. Measure the dimensions and see where you want to put it because it is rather large. Having said that, in a house of four people who are constantly drinking water, we never run out of cold water. Hook up is simple. Comes with an installation kit I however, did buy extra tubing ahead of time as my unit sits pretty far away from the sink. Uses standard sized tubing similar to what your automatic refrigerator/icemaker would use.Giving it four out of five stars only because the size of the unit is rather large, would not fit underneath the cabinet. Also the breaking in period for the filters/unit took 3 to 4 days to get rid of the slight aftertaste. However, getting through that and you’ll have very fresh, clean water that honestly tastes better than bottled. Where we live the tap water is terrible, I can’t believe this Brio can transform terrible tap into better than bottled water.

I read the reviews before I purchased of units similar to this one and many people noted that they failed, so I bought a more expensive Brio unit (this one) thinking it would be better quality. I, however naively, thought that it was just a few bad units. It turns out that other reports of failures after a few months aren't isolated incidents and in fact are a problem with all units made by Brio. I reached out to Brio and they sent troubleshooting steps, which didn't work. Then they indicated that if the steps didn't wok to contact Amazon. Since this is outside Amazon's return period there isn't much Amazon can do.On a more positive note the unit looks really nice and when it worked it cooled water exceptionally well.

The Brio Moderna water cooler is sleek and convenient. I love the self-cleaning feature, and the water tastes great. However, it’s a bit noisy when heating and cooling the water. The sound is noticeable, especially in a quiet room, which can be a bit distracting. Overall, it works well but could use some improvement in noise reduction

This is hands down the most used appliance in our house. We drink a lot, and I mean A LOT, of water in our house and we used to get the five gallon jugs. We are on well water so the taste can be a bit harsh and having the filtered water is nice. This so much easier, less cumbersome and way cheaper than refilling the bottles. Install was a piece of cake. Also, I love having the cold water right there on tap at all times.

We wanted to replace our 5 gallon bottle delivery as the cost kept increasing and delivery was a hassle. For context we live in a NYC apt I was worried this would be a difficult install, but it wasn't bad at all.Pros:-water tastes great-price is awesome (better on amazon than through retailer)-install took about 30 min and required no drilling-the machine is very quietCons:-the hot water gets to like 190, so not boiling like a kettle would

I had always used a countertop RO system for hot/room temperature water dispensing, and the thing annoyed me the most is the constant “Wait” for the RO tank to refill if I use more than 16oz at a time. Another thing annoyed me is the constant need to refill the water tank.This solved both issues for me. Yes, I have to invest in another tankless RO system to feed into it, but it is absolutely worth it to me.The cold water is a very nice bonus.
