- Thisty in New York
Well, my Milano water cooler functioned fine for about a year and a half. All of a sudden, we were not getting any cold water. The following week, we couldn't get any hot water. I was doing research online to find out who the manufacturer was so I could get the unit repaired or replaced (I now know it's Addico) and after reading all the negative reviews, I decided just to throw it away and get a new water cooler from a reputable manufacturer!

- Bad after taste
I ordered this cooler approx. one month ago. It functions fine mechanically, however the water it dispenses has a foul "plastic" type taste. I flushed both hot and cold water through this cooler (approx. 10 gallons) and the water still tasted bad. I am in the process of sending back this cooler but I am afraid to get another one for fear of the same problem. I have to think about my next move.

- Looks are decieving
Before buying this water cooler, I had read some bad reviews, but decided that I would be the exception. Unfortunately, I was wrong and they were right. The cooler looks very chic however the water tastes like plastic and makes you feel ill.

I called Addico and they told me to sterilize it again. Then when that didn't work, they told me that the problem was that the hot water switch needed to be on at all times or the water would taste stale(if this is true why is there a switch at all). The third time I called they told me that they use the same plastic as peanut butter jars and that the water is fine. However, my taste buds and stomach tell me otherwise. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the lubricant they use inside the cooler.

I am glad I bought it from amazon though, because they make the return process very easy. In conclusion, I give amazon 5 stars and Addico 1 Star.
