Overview
This Igloo water cooler is a freestanding, corded electric dispenser built from stainless steel, sized for standard 5 gallon bottles. It stands close to 38 inches tall, built for floor placement rather than a countertop.
Being corded electric rather than a gravity-fed cooler, it likely powers hot and cold dispensing rather than relying on bottle weight alone, though the exact temperature range is not listed. The stainless steel finish sets it apart from the plastic coolers common at this size.
- 5 gallon bottle capacity
- Corded electric dispensing
- Stainless steel construction
- Freestanding floor design
Who it's for
Suited to homes or small offices wanting a standing 5 gallon bottle cooler with an electric dispensing function. Not a fit for anyone wanting a filtered, plumbed-in system instead of bottled water.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Stainless steel build
- Fits standard 5 gallon bottles
- Freestanding, no plumbing needed
- Requires a power outlet to operate
- Tall 37.8 in footprint needs floor space
Performance notes
