Are you looking for the best water dispenser in Kenya but have no idea which to buy? Look no further. In this post we feature 10 of the best water dispensers in Kenya to simplify your search.
Before we jump to the list, let’s briefly go over what a water dispenser is, the types of dispensers there are, the benefits of owning one and factors to consider when buying one.
What is a water dispenser?
There are several definitions out there as to what a water dispenser is. Well, this description from waterlogic captures it so well…
A water dispenser for home or office has temperatures ranging from Cold (default setting 5°C); Ambient (room temperature); Hot (default setting 87°C); Extra hot (default setting 95°C).
NOTE: This is a simple water dispenser machine that does not need electricity. They are also the cheapest
Types of Water Dispenser
There are two main types of water dispensers namely Bottled and Point of Use.
Bottled Dispensers, as the name indicates, use replaceable water bottles of varying sizes (mostly 20 liters).
The Point of Use, on the other hand, is plumbed in (connected to your main water supply. You don’t need a bottle or anything, just a constant supply of water in the pipes.
Now, there are subcategories of dispensers under each type.
Categories of Bottled Water Dispenser
- Freestanding Top Load (stands on the floor with the water bottle being fixed at the top
- Freestanding Bottom Load (tall enough to stand on the floor, but it has a housing for the water bottle at the bottom section
- Countertop Top Load (small and compact enough to put on table…the water bottle is fixed from the top)
- Countertop Bottom Load (not tall to stand freely, so it’s often put on kitchen or office tables. It has housing for the water bottle
Categories of Point of Use Dispensers
- Freestanding (tall enough to stand freely in your sitting room or office next to tap)
- Countertop (Same as a bottled dispenser but fixed to a water supply instead of a bottle)
- Wall Mount (compact and fixed on a wall as you would a TV)
Why you need a water dispenser
There are dozens of reasons you need a water dispenser in your home or office. Below are the 5 main reasons to get a dispenser if you don’t have one already
- Saves you money – Buying several bottles of water a day is not pocket friendly, you will agree. A water dispenser cuts the cost by availing plenty of clean water (sometimes better than bottled water) at no daily cost.
- Safe water – tap water is not just exposed to chlorine but bacteria and other contaminations. A water dispenser has an inbuilt infiltration system that ensures your drinking water is free from impurities
- Sufficient Hydration – having water dispenser around has been shown to encourage people to take water. The more water you take the better hydration. The result is that you’ll be active, have healthier skin and feel rejuvenated overall
- Efficiency – Boiling water every time wasting if not costly. With a water dispenser, you get instant hot water for your drinking and fixing coffee and tea. The readily available cold and hot water means you may never need a coffee maker 😉
- Encourages a sugar free diet – Too much sugar in your diet can be dangerous. It can lead to life-threatening conditions like diabetes. Instead of reaching for a bottle of soda to quench your thirst, you will grab a glass of cold water from your dispenser.
As you can see, the benefits of having a water cooler in your home/office outweigh the challenges if any.
What to consider when buying water dispensers
While you could walk to any appliances shop and pick any water dispenser, considering these factors will ensure you get the best deal
- Type of dispenser: Your budget and needs will determine whether you’ll go simple dispensers or electric coolers.
- Features: The best water dispenser should have an ergonomic Tap Design, a reliable Purification System, have Cup Holders, Self-cleaning mechanism and Child Lock for safety
- The Reservoir Material: If you can afford it, always insist on a water dispenser with stainless steel reservoir because they are more hygienic than plastic ones.
- Ease of use and maintenance: Buy a water dispenser that even a child can operate and won’t cost a fortune to clean or repair
- Power Consumption: To save on the monthly electricity bill, go for dispensers with energy star rating…and one that can keep water hot/cold for hours.
- Capacity of the dispenser: This depends on the size of your family or the number of expected users at the workplace. Always go for a dispenser with higher filtration rate and bigger storage capacity.
- Temperature: Most dispensers have hot, cold and normal options…go for such. They may be expensive though.
- Child Lock: If the dispenser is in a place easily accessible by kids, it should have some safety mechanism to protect them from accidental burns
- Noise levels: Some water coolers work in absolute silence others make the loudest noise. For the office and work place I suggest you pick the one with the lowest noise levels.
I’ve carefully picked the dispensers on this list based on product features, customer ratings, and or retail prices. So, go through it and pick the one that best suits your needs.
