What feedback is there on the reliability and durability of the Avalon A8?

The general consensus that most of these machines can last up to 5 to 7 years, under regular household use. Maintenance is straightforward and the machine utilizes ozone to keep the water lines hygienic. There is also a night light on the machine. This Avalon A8 is an excellent machine for hot water with one of the fastest heating times and puts out around 22.76 fl.oz. or 673 ml on a full tank. The only performance issue is that cold water is limited to 2.7 L per hour at an average temperature of 50‒54 ℉ (10‒12℃). In practical terms, this means you can take a 10 fl. oz. (300 ml) glass of chilled water every seven minutes or enough water for nine people per hour.
