Here's some tips which may explain some of the other reviews and help get you going: 1) The instructions say to soak the filter and wash the plastic container first - don't ignore this or you will get a plastic taste. I made this mistake and only washed the top container, not realising the big BOTTOM container comes off too. Wash both considerably under HOT water for a while, then wash again with cold water, dry the outside only of the containers and put back together. 2) If you are still getting a plastic taste, you can put a sterilising tablet (what you use to clean baby bottles, home brew etc) in the bottom tray. Leave for a while then run it through the internal pipes - keep the machine unplugged when you do this. Once done, I'd clean the tray again and run fresh water through the internal pipes about 5 times or so to remove any risidual. 3) The machine will work without power - just press the button, water comes out at ambient temperature. The power is needed to chill the water only. 4) The machine will make a little bit of noise when it is chilling the water - this last about an hour for me. The noise isn't loud at all, no more loud than a normal fridge in the kitchen so doesn't bother me at all. Once the water is cold, the blue light comes on the front and the chiller turns off anyway. 5) It seems to store plenty of water ice cold. I was worried it may only give a glass then the rest of the water would have to be cooled but there seems to be loads. 6) As some other reviewers mention, you have to hold the button in for the water to come out - if you have slower flow of water, you need to fill it up - it's gravity fed so there's no pump (thus working without electric) so if you don't have a lot of water in the upper tank, the flow will be a bit slower but with the tank over half full, the flow is acceptable. 7) The device is not plumbed in at all - you fill the top of the machine using a jug or similar. There is no waste, it has a drip tray. 8) Water capacity is good - can store a lot of water so you won't be refilling all the time. 9) Filter needs changing every month but these seem pretty cheap and it's easy to change them - they fit on the bottom of the top plastic tray. You push it in slightly off the oval alignment then turn clockwise to lock in. To remove, turn anti clockwise and pull down. I hope the above is useful for people - I'm impressed with my machine but takes a bit of setting up with running the water through so be patient. Once it's done though, it's a doddle and filter changing is really easy so don't have to go through the setup again. I had looked at other brands of water filters which are plumbed in such as Virgin Pure but the price of the machine is ridiculous and then it's either £200 a year to replace the filter (2 each year, every 6 months) and UV thing (once a year) or you can sign upto their plan thing which is £13 a month - no thanks! This machine does a similar job for a fraction of the cost. For the manufacturer, things could work on for future models: 1) Option to automatically fill a glass so don't have to keep button held down 2) Higher clearance between output nozzle and drip tray so it fits a larger pint glass under it 3) Option to adjust temperature - it's ice cold but some may want it colder or slightly milder perhaps Review: Quick to set up - It's brilliant. The water is lovely and cold and it's very easy to set up. Just put the filter in and fill it up with water, plug it in and that's it. ## Features - FAST CHILLED & FILTERED WATER: Enjoy a regular supply of refreshingly cool, filtered water at the touch of a button.

Thanks** A: Hi I am sorry I can’t tell you that , it needs to be on a kitchen work surface or secure shelving or table , you wouldn’t carry it once filled with water if that’s what you need to know. It’s very sturdy , I have carried it myself without water , but not with. Not sure if this is any help , look at weight and water tank capacity on details you should be able to work it out if you need more accuracy . **Q: How long does it take to chill ? It has been plugged I. Foe 3 hours and still the fan makes a loud noise and no blue chilled light is on ?** A: The lights don’t come on. It’s a bad flaw but it does work. Takes about 20 minutes for the next glass to chill. **Q: What if I don’t need the chill option. Does it dispense water at room temperature also?** A: Yes you can have room temp or chilled water. Just don’t power machine up for room temp water **Q: Plugged in for first time no lights or sound coming from it** A: The top light should come on straight away as this is the power light . The bottom light only comes on when water is sufficiently chilled. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product - Some Tips *by D***8 on 23 February 2021* I wanted a bench top water dispenser / cooler and after looking at several products, I decided to try this one.

The water is lovely and cold and it's very easy to set up. Just put the filter in and fill it up with water, plug it in and that's it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works for about 3 years *by S***H on 4 January 2026* We got about 2 good years out of this before the LED lights stopped working and 1 more year before it stopped altogether. It’s stopped working now so looking for something that will hopefully last a bit longer. It benefits from a good clean about once a month. When the fan is working, the water tastes really nice and is cool. ## Frequently Bought Together - Aqua Optima Lumi Chilled Filtered Water Dispenser – 8.2L Total Capacity & 1 x 30 Day Evolve+ Water Filter Catridge for Reduction Of Microplastics, Chlorine, Limescale & Other Impurities - Aqua Optima EPS612 Evolve plus 30 Day Water Filter Cartridge, 6 Pack (6 Months Supply), Old Version --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/117338208-aqua-optima-lumi-chilled-filtered-water-dispenser-reduces-limescale-microplastics](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/117338208-aqua-optima-lumi-chilled-filtered-water-dispenser-reduces-limescale-microplastics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
