Countertop Water Cooler Buyers’ Guide

Chatting round the water cooler has become an office tradition. That’s because water coolers themselves have become an office tradition. Standing proudly in the reception area, these modern monuments to productivity are more than simple office appliances. The cool, refreshing drinks that they provide quashes dehydration on hot summer days and cuts down queues in the kitchen. A drinks dispenser can help to boost morale, boost productivity and  just as importantly  show that your business cares about its employees, clients and visitors. In many office environments, however, space is at a premium.

A bottled cooler, which doesn’t have to be connected to a mains supply, can be moved around. This helps matters to a degree, because you don’t have to set aside a permanent area in the office for the water cooler  if you suddenly have to move desks around to accommodate a new  employee or a gigantic photocopier, then a bottled water cooler will not get in your way. You’ll still need to store full and used bottles somewhere, however, which should always be a consideration when buying a water cooler  it pays to have a few bottles handy for when it runs dry. A mains-fed water cooler, meanwhile, filters water from the mains itself.

This means that you don’t need to store bottles, but you do need to keep it in place semi-permanently. The cries reverberate around the workplace: ‘Surely there must be another option?’ There is a counter-top water cooler. These free up valuable floor space which would otherwise be taken up by free-standing water dispensing apparatus. Like typical coolers, they are available in bottled and mains-fed varieties, and they offer the same features as these taller models. To help you get an idea of what’s available on the market today, let’s take a look at two of the best counter-top models: Avalanche Counter-Top Water Cooler
