Overview
The Tabu water cooler is a countertop unit with a plastic body, corded electric power, and a black finish. Amazon's spec sheet lists its capacity as 44 pounds, a figure that reads more like the unit's own weight than a water volume.
That 44 pound capacity figure is not clearly labeled as a bottle or water volume, so it is worth reading with caution rather than taken as the amount of water the unit holds. What is confirmed is the countertop format and compact dimensions, at 16.84 by 10.94 by 18.86 inches, smaller than the freestanding coolers built for full 5 gallon jugs.

Who it's for
This suits buyers wanting a small, plug-in countertop cooler rather than a tall, floor-standing unit. Anyone needing a confirmed water volume before buying should look for a listing with a clearer capacity figure, since this one is ambiguous.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact countertop format
- Plastic body keeps it light
- Plugs into standard wall power
- Capacity figure is ambiguous, may be weight not volume
- Smaller footprint than 5 gallon coolers
- Rating based on only 5 reviews
Performance notes
As a corded electric countertop unit, it plugs into a standard outlet and sits on a surface rather than the floor, unlike full-size 5 gallon coolers. Its compact dimensions suggest it holds meaningfully less water than a standard jug cooler, though the exact volume is not clearly stated in the data.
