A Question

We have a Addico Chicago Hot and Cold Water Cooler.
The part which screws onto the bottle is not working properly and water leeks into the machine constantly.
I would like to know what I have to replace and how I order the needed parts?

Acrylic Pepper Mill & Salt Shaker Set (4-1/2")

Amazon base price: $9.99

Average review score:

what good is salt without pepper

I used this set for a couple of months before the little knob on the grinder fell off. Then the acrylic cracked. Overall a very low quality product. Invest in a good set, or buy this set every couple of months.

not good pepper mill

I have this set for 2 years. The saltshaker has no problem, but 2 parts of the pepper mill, the part of the handle and the top screw, were broken under normal use after a few months. In addition, this pepper mill doesn't work well if you fill it with peppercorns. When peppercorns are full, it produces very little and very fine pepper grinds; however, it starts to make very big & rough pepper grinds when the amount of peppercorns is getting low. Even though these look very pretty, it was a very bad choice.

Fine Set

This set has worked wonderfully for me since buying it 2 years ago. The knob on top of the pepper mill can be adjusted in order to make the peppercorns ground as fine as you like. When the peppercorns get refilled, just remember to tighten the knob on the top to your liking.

The ADDI 3 in 1 water cooler/ice maker /counter washer

I bought this water cooler for xmas. It worker great for a couple weeks. Then you go to get water and its not giving water. Look inside and theres a chunk of ice the size of a softball. You turn it off to let it melt and the unit drips water all over the place. I won't buy anything else for that company.

Cooler

The cooler is nice. The power pack went out three min. after I plug it in. The Addi company is of no help, they don't carry parts, so I had to return the whole unit for a replacement, when only the power unit was out.

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.

Disappointed

I read the reviews (2)and decided to throw out the bad and give it a try. It arrived quickley but after setting it up, drilling a hole in my cabinet for power, I found out that the cold water did not work. I called customer service, Canada, waited on the phone for 20 mins. and was told that I had to deal with Amazon since I bought it there. I was requesting to repair the thermostat myself if they sent me the part. No luck. I sent it back. Amazon made sending and receiving easy. That was the only good thing with this whole excercise.

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.
