Avalon A5 Bottleless vs Euhomy Bottom Loading (WC-C) Water Cooler Dispenser

Overall Verdict

People who prefer a bottle-loading water cooler dispenser, may likewise prefer the ease and convenience of a bottleless dispenser with a water filter. The Euhomy WC-C, however, is not the most competitive choice in our range of tested machines.

The two machines have a similar three-button-design, but the Euhomy buttons have somewhat stiff traction and the hot water mechanism is uncomfortable to use. The Avalon A5 uses ozone while the Euhomy has UV sanitation.

The Avalon A5, however, scores much higher with performance. The Euhomy has a hot water temperature of 189 ℉, while the Avalon A5 is a standard 198 ℉—or 10 degree higher. Even so, the Euhomy only puts out 5 L of hot water per hour compared to Avalon’s 5.3 L.

The cold water temperature on the Euhomy is likewise higher, running at 55‒57 ℉ and not 52‒54 ℉. These performance scores make the Euhomy a compromised choice for many despite some notable quality features. Compared to other bottom-loading water cooler dispensers, the Euhomy has a much more robust body and the cabinet door is especially well-designed.

Basically, the Avalon A5 is a much better machine, while the Euhomy is not the most competitive choice for a bottom-loading water cooler dispenser.
