How to choose
Bottom or top loading
Bottom loading hides the bottle below and avoids lifting a full jug, while top loading puts the bottle on top where the water level shows at a glance. The Avalon, Igloo and Euhomy load from the bottom, and the Artist hand loads from the top. All four fit 3 and 5 gallon bottles, so check your bottle size and how much lifting you want to do before choosing.
Hot water and ice
Hot water suits tea, soups and instant meals, while cold water suits drinking and iced drinks. The Euhomy states hot water at 185 to 203 degrees and cold water at or below 47 degrees, and it adds an ice maker at 33 lb per day. The Avalon gives 3 temperature settings, and the Igloo gives hot, cold and room-temperature water. Check the hot water range and ice output against what you drink each day.
Weight, cleaning and locks
Weight matters when you move the unit: the Igloo weighs 34 lb, the Euhomy 35.5 lb and the Avalon 40 lb. For cleaning, the Avalon self-cleans, and the Euhomy and Artist hand have removable drip trays. All four have a control lock on the hot water outlet, so check the lock style against how you use the hot tap each day.
