Review on 🚰 Convenient and Portable Electric Water Dispenser for 5 Gallon Bottles - USB Charge, 1200MHA Battery, White by Braden Bowers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A great option if you don't have a water cooler, but there are downsides to this particular product.

This pump is GOOD, but it has many flaws in its design. Setting this up for someone who can't lift a water jug so they can get water from a 5 gallon jug at the touch of a button is great, but it has many issues as a product. It's a little noisy which wouldn't be a problem except that it dispenses quite slowly (especially when the battery is dead) so it takes a lot longer to fetch water when you need water to fill the kettle etc than it would , easy to pour from a pitcher or a 1-gallon pitcher. The pump battery life is pretty good and lasts a few days BUT the charging cable is so short it's almost pointless, definitely impractical (probably around 6-8 inches long). Even when I put my jug on the kitchen counter it doesn't reach the outlet Also note that it does NOT have a wall outlet plug and you will have to steal the cube from your phone to charge it if you don't have something to plug the USB into (I suppose the USB charging feature is useful if you've traveled with this pump and need to plug it into your car or laptop etc, but I use mine for home use.) I have to use extension cords when I'm not want to mess around with losing weight every time (<-- why I use an extension cord, I'm a sprout nut and want the part that goes into the drinking water to be used as little as possible). It's pretty easy to assemble and use. immediately, but an elderly person may find it difficult to turn the pump on and off from the jug and replace it yourself. This is a good product and I will use it because I've spent my money on it, but next time I'll probably buy a hand pump for our water jugs, which will probably be quieter and use less energy overall. .

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine
