Does it need a water line?

Yes. It connects to a cold water supply line, so you need a nearby line and a spot to route it. There is no bottle to load.

How often do I replace the filter?

Every 6 months or 1,500 gallons, whichever comes first. Plan for that cost on top of the purchase price.

Cold water is held around 47°F by a compressor, and hot water reaches about 185°F from an internal heating element.

The hot spout has a child safety lock, and the unit is UL listed.

It is the best new price among 8 stores as of November 7, 2026 and sits at the low end of its recent range, so it is a solid buy at that price.

About 41 inches tall, 12 inches wide and 13 inches deep. It is freestanding and needs floor space plus clearance for the line.
