Thanks Lowes for repacking broken
Would Not RecommendIt was obvious that this was repacked broken. Thanks lowe's. Went to the store. An employee picked it out and put in my car. My husband opened...and BAM. See the picture.
Do not buy Avalon brand water cooler!
Would Not RecommendUnit broke after 6 months of use and Avalon refused to replace it! We owned for a year but only had it plugged in for 6 months. 3 weeks after 1 year and they refused to fix it. Total piece of Junk!
We are truly sorry to hear of this inconvenience. This model is a Primo brand bottom loading unit and we are not associated with the brand Avalon.
Not worth the price
Would Not RecommendI find this product not worth our money. We find the motor a bit loud when it's in cooling mode. Also, the water is not as cold as we would like. A temperature control would've been a nice feature.
Good Morning,
Thank you for reaching out. We'd love to help you with this. Usually, when this occurs, it is because of the way the hose la...
No more bottle
Would RecommendSo far so good! We buy bottle water so this saved room in the refrigerator and fits right in the corner! It keeps water nice and cool and the hot water is hot enough to make coffee!

Pump Doesn’t Last Long
Would Not RecommendThis is one of the higher end water coolers offered at Lowe’s. Unfortunately, you’ll be lucky to get a year out of it. Either purchase the multi-year protection plan (you will need it), or shop around for a better brand.

No more lifting
Would RecommendWe have wanted a bottom loading water cooler for years. Our top loader was just to much of a hassle to flip the bottle and not get water all over the place. When our top loader finally stopped working, there wasn’t even a question about buying this one. The water is cold and being able To turnt he LED light off also is a nice feature.

Thank you for the kind words! We are so glad you are happy with your new Primo dispenser. It means a lot to us to hear from customers, like yourself!...
Amazing water dispenser
Would RecommendThis was the best purchase made this year. My family loves this and we're saving a ton of money on not buying bottled water which I often find 1/2 empty and then thrown away in the house by the kids. Not only are we saving money, we're not filling the landfill/recycle center with plastic bottles. I like the bottom loading because anyone in the house can reload the cooler without having to flip a 5 gallon jug and spill water. This cooler is worth every penny!

Best Dispenser I've owned
Would RecommendI've had mine for about 7 years with no issues. Ive noticed some people mentioning noise, yes it's true, but found this only happens when the unit is not sitting level, re-adjust and the problem is solved. if and when my unit goes out, I will buy another.

Awesome product
Would RecommendBought this @ Lowe’s a few months ago due to bottled waters were flying out of the stores shelfs. It’s ready to use right out of the box. The only thing was that Primo water bottles are not sold @Lowe’s but they sell the Nestle’s bottles, but they worked in the cooler just as well. I set it up by the dinner table and it looks very elegant and when we play board games at the table, then easy access to get hot or cold water. It’s a great product and very happy I purchased it. I didn’t get the insu...

2 years and no longer cooling water
Would Not RecommendSave your money, purchase another cooler. Only going to last you two years which is what the extended warranty covers and you’re SOL.
