BRIO Moderna - 5 Gallons

Brio Moderna Reverse Osmosis Bottleless Water Cooler Dispenser - Self-Cleaning, Dispenses Hot and Cold Water, TDS Meter, Child Safety Lock, Digital Display and LED Light: desertcart.com: Tools & Home Improvement Review: Modern, Clean, and Great Water Quality - This water dispenser has a very modern and clean design that looks great in any kitchen or office space. The filtration system is easy to use and the water tastes fresh and clean. It feels well built and the setup process was straightforward. I like how it combines style and functionality in one unit. A great choice if you want convenient, filtered water at home. Review: Lacks good documentation. Missing reset button. - This unit could have gotten a higher rating had the instructions been at least proof read and more complete. I suspect they could only have been written be an Ivy League graduate. Both the quick set up sticker and page 11 of manual incorrectly explains how to set the hot and cold temperatures. The correct information is on page 5. There also is no explanation on how to use the push in and release quick connections. I’m familiar with shark bite connectors but us country bumpkins never saw these plastic ones before. My hook up was not standard under the sink and I needed to adjust tubing length, including buying longer lengths, the so called trial and revise method. A comment or picture in the manual would have been helpful. Also be advised that the flush cap does not fit the RO filter so I got the hint that that one doesn’t need flushing. The manual does not tell you this. Also missing from the instructions is that the safety lock is on all the time. I could not find how to turn it off. To get hot water, one has to hit the lock button and immediately hit the hot water button. Not sure how long the lock is inactive but it’s not long. . The “hot” operation is kinda implied on page five but perhaps the writer cold have explained it a bit better. Whatever you set the hot and cold temps to be you won’t get that out of the spout until you flush some out first I measured the hot temp, set at 180, and got 170 after flushing. Likewise a cold setting of 39 turned out to be in the mid 40s. One cannot just get a small cup of really cold water right out of the spout. My wife likes that so I won’t be sending the machine back. I fill up a quart jar and put it in the frig. To sum it up, it makes good water, but you can get the RO under sink setup cheaper. Update 8/19/2021 Perhaps the most annoying design feature on this machine is the control panel. The Lock,Hot,TDS, and Cold bottoms are flush with panel and are touch activated. They just cannot be seen in low light conditions. There are lights behind the controls so why not have them lit all the time. The hot and cold lights are on during the heating and cooling process. Update 1/15/22 I’ve had this for 6 months now and the reason I know that is that an annoying beep has begun to tell me to change filters. You cannot stop the beeping unless you unplug the unit. The manual refers to an on/off switch. THERE IS NONE. The manual refers to a reset button I presume to reset the six month timer. THERE IS NONE. So the company has designed a machine that will annoy you until you change the filters. Brilliant. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE even at 20% off.
