How to choose
Bottleless or bottled
Bottleless and bottled coolers differ in how water arrives. The Avalon connects to your water line with dual filters and needs no jug, while the Brio, Igloo, EUHOMY, and Housiwill take bottles or jugs. The Igloo and EUHOMY load from the bottom, and the Brio and Housiwill load from the top. Match the loading style to how you want to swap water.
Temperatures and controls
Temperature choice runs from two to three settings across this list. The Avalon serves hot and cold water, while the Brio, Igloo, EUHOMY, and Housiwill serve hot, cold, and room-temperature or warm water. Control locks guard the hot water on the Avalon, Brio, Igloo, and EUHOMY. Check the temperature count and the lock before choosing.
Size, weight, and upkeep
Countertop and freestanding coolers fit different spaces. The Avalon and Brio sit on the countertop, while the Igloo and EUHOMY stand on the floor. The Avalon weighs 30 lb and the Igloo weighs 34 lb, so check the weight before you move one. Drip trays on the Brio, EUHOMY, and Housiwill lift out for cleaning, and the Avalon filters last 6 months or 1500 gallons.
