Waterdrop A1 Countertop Reverse Osmosis System, Hot and Cold Water Dispenser, NSF/ANSI 58 Standard, Bottleless Water Cooler, 6 Temperature Settings, 2:1 Pure to Drain

This is one of the best machines I’ve ever purchased. It does everything that is stated in the brochure perfect can’t be more pleased.

Love it. Water tastes amazing and it is really simple to use. The size is quite big but it’s worth it. The tank holds a lot of water compared to other water machines. Definitely a good buy.

This is a great machine lovely clear water, we should have to go to such lengths for drinkable water but unfortunately we do

I just bought the Waterdrop A1 hot/cold water RO desktop system and while I am happy with it’s many features and options and very user-friendly design, but have noticed tiny dust like specks when making black tea. This is really concerning me as the Zero Water system I had before this never had this issue. Can anyone please explain if they are having this same issue. See photo. thanks.UPDATE:Ok this seems to be a misunderstanding as I tested again and all seems fine. I must say Waterdrop Customer service is very quick and responsive and answered all my concerns. Thank You.

It's a complete waste of money. Don't buy it. I've had it for two days, and it has already failed with error code E12.

For £600 I was hoping it would include a lifetime's supply of filters. Alas the filters are supplied as annual bundles costing just under £150 per year. What it does and what it costs are in two different universes.

I have to say that I absolutely love this machine. As someone who likes gadgets and loves both ice cold water and hot drinks, this is almost perfect for me.The machine itself is very easy to use. It uses 2 filters (replacing every 6 or 12 months at a cost of about £135 per year if you go on the guidelines) and a 3litre tank which gives you 2 litres of filtered water (and leaves 1l of waste water), you have options on the touch panel to give hot water, at varying degrees that you can adjust, cold water, you can set a cup/glass size or free flow until you press the water drop button again, it has a child lock so that you don't have a little one accidentally pouring hot water out.It really is a fantastically easy to use machine.The only downside is the price and ongoing running costs. I am generally quite happy with tap water... and although filtered water has tempted me in the past, I have never gone out and bought a water filter.Getting this to review satisfies my curiosity on that score, and there is a very noticeable difference in the water. Is it enough for me to spend extra cash on upkeeping it? Only time will tell.It takes up a lot of room on the counter, and you can't have it underneath a wall cabinet (as you wouldn't be able to lift out the water tank) - fortunately, my kitchen was accommodating with this aspect and the best place for it was alongside the sink (where my kettle had previously been).Currently I am using it as a kettle (and more) replacement and it's been a definite upgrade for the last couple of weeks. Instant hot or cold water when needed is such a convenient thing to have, and I think once I'm used to this I would struggle to go back to kettles and tap water.Personally speaking, I am sold on the device. The wife currently buys bottled water, and when calculating the filter costs of this device to the savings on water, this actually ends up being a little more cost effective (about £150 per year if buying 2 bottles of 5l water per week against £135 of the current cost of the filters) - hopefully, cheaper filters might become available. She is a little harder to convince that it's worth it, but if she wishes to go back to kettle and taps I may be able to put this in my office for added convenience.So, in summary it's an expensive machine, and its worth will be completely in how much use you get from it. I love it, and I feel it's an investment - so long as the filters continue to be available and get cheaper to buy.

This is a fantastic system, but it does have a few drawbacks. The water temperature fluctuates between 6 and 10 degrees Celsius, and the compressor struggles to maintain a consistent temperature. However, the real issue lies with the hot water. When it starts dispensing, the water is lukewarm for a few seconds, which requires you to empty the cup immediately to ensure your tea is hot enough. The maximum temperature is 95 degrees Celsius, but the lukewarm water dispensed at first makes a cold cup of tea, which is quite disappointing. Nevertheless, the taste of the water is excellent.
