Review on πŸ’§ Stainless Steel Water Dispenser by New Wave Enviro Products by Jordan Serba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Meets almost all requirements, but seems to be lacking in important points.

I ordered this as a gift for my wife to encourage her to drink more water. It was just the right size for our fridge and big enough that we didn't have to fill it up every day. Arrived in good condition, no leaks. However, I was hoping that the plastic ring was actually a pressed cap, but it wasn't. Well bad except I have no way of ordering a cover from other models so now I'm stuck with no good way to cover the unit in the fridge. I'm glad I haven't ordered a bottle of water for him yet. The main problem I have now is that I don't trust this company anymore. This dispenser is made from food grade 304 stainless steel. This is the same quality used for premium utensils and utensils. However, 304 stainless steel is austenitic, which means it is not magnetic. There are ferritic stainless steels that are magnetic, but 304 stainless steel is not magnetic by definition. The only way to make it magnetic is through a poor welding or cold working process. I don't think this has happened with this product as the bottom is NOT magnetic and is connected to the sides of the dispenser with the only seam the product has. The sides are heavily magnetized away from this seam, but the bottom is not. So now I have my doubts as to whether the spigot is really polypropylene - maybe it's just cheap BPA plastic. Now I believe a reviewer in March 2017 who said he found a spot of rust on this unit after only a few months of use. It broke the deal for me. Otherwise I probably would have left him, but now I'm afraid he will have to return if my wife doesn't stop me. I really wanted to like this device because it seemed to fit the bill, but now I feel like this seller tricked me into buying something that isn't ideal for its intended purpose.

Pros
  • Always loved
Cons
