1 Costway 2-in-1 Water Cooler Dispenser – Best Child Friendly Water Cooler

Regarding deluxe features in a bottled water machine. There aren’t many that compare to the capability of the Costway 2-in-1 Water Cooler Dispenser with Built-in Ice Maker. It delivers three temperatures of water, makes, and stores ice, and offers a full control panel with a three-month warranty to back service.

Very little stooping required…

At 12 × 14 × 39 inches, it towers over most water coolers and is easy to use for adults with very little stooping required. The top-loading machine requires more effort to hoist water up to the smart water barrel seat, but more ease in viewing the progress of the water level. We found that when water is kept in a lower compartment, we were more likely to forget about purchasing back-up bottles.

The distinguishing feature of the Costway 2-in-1 Water Cooler is its ability to make ice. Freezing up to four pounds of ice in 6 to 14 minutes with a capacity of 27 lb per day, this water cooler makes it easy to enjoy iced beverages without a refrigerator. The ice holding tank is not refrigerated but insulted so that the melted ice recycles itself back into the machine for later use.

We appreciate the advanced child safety lock…

Indicator lights in the control panel alert when ice is in progress, when water is low, and which operations are available. Water is dispensed through three easy to use button spouts. And the hot water is guarded by an advanced child lock to help promote peace of mind if children are sharing the space.

This machine fulfills its promises to bring convenience and dual function into your space with a considerable price tag to match. At more than double the cost of most water coolers we tested, a mere three-month warranty feels like a risky investment.
