How to choose
Bottom loading or top loading
Loading decides how bottles change. The Avalon and Tehanld load from the bottom, so no lifting is needed for 3- to 5-gallon bottles. The Igloo, Euhomy and Brio load from the top, so the bottle sits where you can see the water level. Bottom loading suits heavier bottles, while top loading shows the level at a glance. Check the loading style against the bottle size you buy.
Temperatures and controls
Temperature settings decide what you can pour. The Avalon, Tehanld and Euhomy give hot, cold and room water, while the Igloo and Brio give hot and cold. The Euhomy gives hot water at 190 to 203 degrees and cold water at 43 to 50 degrees. LED indicators on the Tehanld, Euhomy and Brio mark readiness, and empty-bottle alerts on the Avalon and Tehanld mark refills. A control lock guards the hot water side on the Tehanld, Igloo, Euhomy and Brio.
