How to choose
Bottleless or bottle-fed
A bottleless model like the Avalon connects to your water supply and filters as it dispenses, so you never lift a bottle. A bottle-fed model like the Euhomy, Housiwill and ACCVI loads from the top. The Euhomy and ACCVI let you see when the water runs low. The Brio is also bottleless, with a 3-stage filter. Pick the style that fits how you want to refill, then check the temperatures and settings each model gives.
