Dolphin ME-WD-03S Water Dispenser with Hot, Cold and Normal Water

Our review

The Dolphin ME-WD-03S is a free-standing water dispenser that gives you three ways to pour: hot, cold and normal, so one unit can cover tea and coffee, chilled drinking water and room-temperature refills. The integrated cabinet underneath is the detail that separates it from simpler dispensers, since it gives you somewhere to keep cups, sachets or spare bottles instead of leaving them on the counter. It suits households that go through a lot of hot drinks, small offices, shops and waiting areas where visitors help themselves, and anyone who wants a single appliance rather than a kettle plus a jug in the fridge. The white and black finish is a practical choice if the unit will sit in a visible spot. Before buying, think about where it will stand: it is free-standing, so it needs floor space and a nearby power point, and the cabinet only helps if you actually want the storage. Compare it with basic hot-and-cold dispensers if you never use normal-temperature water, and with bottle-fed versus plumbed-in designs, since the listing does not state which this model uses. Check the Sokonia listing for the water source type, cabinet dimensions and power requirements before you commit. Available on Sokonia.
