Clover B7A Hot and Cold Bottled Water Cooler in Black

We bought Clover B7A about a year ago as a replacement for our ageing GE dispenser. Unfortunately, it's difficult to notice any signs of progress or innovation for these devices. In fact, the opposite is true - they become simpler, with fewer features and of uniformly inferior quality. The GE unit had 3 spouts: hot, cold, and room temperature. Most of the devices produced today have only two (and few of those that do have three had such abysmal reviews that we didn't dare to try our luck). At the end, we settled on B7A.The first impression you get when unveiling B7A can be summarized with one word: cheap! All-plastic, barely wide enough to be stable, minimum parts, barely legible instructions. The only control available is a screw on the back one can use to control the cold water temperature.Apparently, that was not our lucky day, as the device turned out to be broken: the cold temperature control knob was not working and the water was dispensed at room temperature. Thanks to Amazon, the return process was relatively painless (if you consider as painless re-packaging the faulty unit and lugging it to FedEx). The replacement unit had the know working although after a couple months it stopped doing any fine control, so now offers only two kinds of cold water: ice cold and room temperature (there is no way to make it produce moderately cool water). At this point we put up with this simply because I'm not too eager to play the replacement game again (and possibly getting another dud).Lessons learned: this dispenser is of really inferior quality. Unfortunately other models seem to be not much better. If I were doing it all over again, I'd probably buy one from nearest Home Depot - at least returning it would not be as much hassle.

We purchased this water cooler/heater in Nov. 2012 and I just had to come on and leave a review. We have never had an issue with it, it has worked consistently for the last 8 years and it is such a luxury for the whole family! We love having hot and cold water at our fingertips. To me it is a necessary item for your home and this Clover model has been amazing! 5 stars!

We bought this water cooler to replace an old GE water cooler we had.The Clover is a good solid water cooler.It's sturdy, easy to change the water bottles, and easy to clean.I like the fact that you can fill a pitcher with cold water just by having the cold water spout stand up.This is very convenient. The hot water has a safety feature on it so the water will only come out if the flap is pushed in a certain way. Overall,it is a good machine, especially at this price point.

The Clover B7A hot and cold water dispenser works well. The cold seems cold enough, and the hot seems hot enough. About three years ago I purchased a G.E. cold, hot, room temperature with a mini refrigerator and a stainless steel finish. It was less expensive and had extra features. I could not find that G.E. product on Amazon. I had purchased the G.E. product from Fry's Electronics in California and Fry's was out of stock. Bottom line, the Clover works well but for the features, it is very over priced.

Maybe I got a bad unit, but the constant "humm" from this water cooler drove me nuts, so we had to unplug it. We had a different type of water cooler that worked great for many years (don't remember the brand), but it eventually started to leak so we decided to get this Clover one. We keep the water cooler in our kitchen and the humm was very noticeable in any adjoining room. For several months we just kept it unplugged and drank room temperature water. However, after going away for a week, we came back and the water had an awful taste. We drained it, swapped out the bottle, but can't get the bad taste to go away. Presume it is because the water is not cycling, but since it is so loud plugged in, we are just going to order a different unit. I don't recommend this one.

I've had this for about 3 months and have enjoyed every minute of it. It was shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition.It keeps the water super cold and isn't very loud, which is a plus. My wife was worried about it not looking great in our kitchen because it has a plastic looking outside but because it's black it tends to grab less attention in the kitchen. Another plus is that it dispenses water quickly. It's almost twice as fast as our previous dispenser, which is really nice.We use our 3 and 5 gallon jugs with screw top lids that we used with our previous dispenser and they fit and work flawlessly.I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a dispenser that is reliable and inconspicuous.

Keeps the water constant and cold. The body seems a little cheap, but hey, If it keeps my water cold, I'm good with that. South Fla. in the summer!

Another product I bought on Amazon with great reviews that's low quality. The water comes out really slow making this thing almost useless. I'm buying another from Target as them have better quality control than amazon. For the seller... You need to test your products and if you charge a high rate, make sure they are better than the less expensive ones. The world does not need more dysfunctional Chinese junk.
