Tools and Hardware Reviews of Haier WDQS015 Water Dispenser with Storage CompartmentCustomer Review: BAD TASTE IN MOUTH Summary: 1 Stars
My Avanti cooler that I had for two years, spring a leak. I searched for another at a similar price and found the Haier WDQS015. I made a big mistake ordering this product. The cooler arrived and I read and followed the instructions to the letter. Within a few hours, the unit begain eminating a strange odor from behind it. I tried the water that I had dispensed from the new machine, and was shocked to find out it tasted like burnt plastic. I cycled the machine using the new bottle water (both hot and cold) and then replaced it with tap water. The next day, it still was terrible to drink and had the same taste. I called the manufacturer and they didn't know what to do and offered no advice, except to try cycling vinegar through it. They said this problem has never come up before. They referred me to two vendors that sell the machines locally that might help, but they were not help at all. I am going to try to run vinegar trhough it in the hopes of getting rid of the bad taste. If this does not work, I just spent a 100 bucks down the drain, as to find a box and ship it back for a refund just isn't worth the hassle. The last reviewer is correct; it's cheaply made and I do not recommend this product to anyone. Better to spend a few extra $$s and get something of quality. This unit literally "stinks".
Customer Review: Cold water nowhere to be tasted! Summary: 1 Stars
I did not heed the warnings and purchased this water cooler in December 2004.
When I first used it the water tasted like rubber or plastic. YUCK!. But finally after running three or four 5-galloon water bottles through the machine the taste dissipated. Once the funny taste was gone I was happy with my purchase.
Now in March, my water cooler no longer cools the water. The hot water tap works amazing, it is almost boiling hot, but the cold water is room temperature. It just stopped working one day.
I guess you get what you pay for. I am going to attempt to call Haier and see if I have any luck getting a replacement.
1/14/06-Gave up on getting a replacement (too much of a hassle). Bought myself a WHIRLPOOL cooler and it has been running beautifully since the moment I set it up. Much better construction too! Almost a year of water cooler performance perfection.
Customer Review: Piece of Junk Summary: 1 Stars
We had this unit for all of three months before it sprung a leak in the back and soaked the carpet in our apartment. When we called customer service they told us that we had to have the original receipt from when we bought it in order to get any kind of customer service. I'm sorry, is that standard?? I have never had anyone ask me for the original receipt. I will definitely never buy one of these again.
Customer Review: My Dispenser at home Summary: 1 Stars
I own one of Haier dispensers and I must say that the cooler is a horrible one. It doesn't cool at all the five gallon water. The water always stays at room temperature and Haier's customer service is horrible, it takes them forever to answer the phone and they don't have anything to say regarding the matter.
