Convenient but with weaknesses (UK especially plug remains unmentioned !!!)

I already had a similar model from a different manufacturer, with whom I was very pleased. Because I need a second home for professional reasons, I wanted my previous unit is still back and herschleppen, but was looking for a second device. I chose Aqua Optima.

Overall, it met my requirements: I want to have near my desk always relatively handy fresh tap water is available, without constantly get up and go into the kitchen to: The unit cools reliable water and it can be quite handy at your desk or similar , pin. The water tank is large enough and easy the mounting and connection. Visually, the device looks and modern, there is nothing to complain about.

Aaaaaaaber: What I see as a big minus point is that here is pointed out in the description of a single word, that it is a model with UK plug. When the package arrived, so I was the unit to not operate, since I only had to buy an adapter to me the care of German outlets. This would necessarily have to say Amazon here, as this is associated with additional trouble and expense of course!

It is also a drawback that the front no on-off switch is because, as found in other device types. So either pull back plug or the device is on all the time. This could have been better constructed.

In addition, the cable is very short. If one sets the unit to the height of a desk, it is not really enough to power outlets, ie one should make an extension cord ready.

The sounds during cooling, is clearly audible, but still in a tolerable frame. For very sensitive ears, I would imagine that it is sometimes perceived as slightly annoying, depending on how close you sit at the water cooler.

Conclusion: If my other model (Ariete Hidrogenia 700) would have been to buy in Germany, I would have bought me this again because in my opinion it offers more comfort compared to the Aqua Optima here. Overall it can be said: You can not go wrong with buying the Aqua Optima, if you value it, always to have sufficient pin-ready in its vicinity a lot of cool water. With the above-mentioned limitations, I would recommend the device on.
