Megachef Water Dispenser

Overview

The Megachef MEGA-DISPENSER is a freestanding electric water dispenser with a 3.9 liter capacity, built in plastic and stainless steel with a silver finish. It suits kitchens or offices wanting a compact hot and cold unit without a bottled water contract.

At roughly 41 inches tall but only 3.9 liters of holding capacity, this reads as a smaller tank dispenser meant for manual refilling rather than one built around bulk 5 gallon bottles. That makes it a different category of product from bottle fed coolers, better suited to lighter, more frequent refill use.

• 3.9 liter capacity
• Freestanding design
• Corded electric power
• 12 x 13.6 x 41 in, 33 lb

Who it's for

Buyers who want an electric hot and cold dispenser they refill by hand rather than swap bottles for. Not for households wanting the lower refill frequency of a 5 gallon bottle system.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The corded electric design powers hot and cold dispensing from a 3.9 liter reservoir, a fraction of the capacity of bottle fed coolers, so expect more frequent manual refills in higher use settings. At 33 lb and about 41 inches tall, it is built as a freestanding floor unit rather than a countertop appliance despite its modest tank size.
