In a world where kitchen counter space is at a premium, appliances need to earn their keep by doing multiple jobs at once.
That’s where the Waterdrop A1 dispenser comes in.
Truth is, a glass of water straight from the faucet may look clean, but all kinds of invisible particulates—bacteria, sediments, chlorine, salts, plastics, heavy metals, and other pollutants—are present.
The Waterdrop A1 is priced at US $699, but for a limited time—just through July 10—Remodelista readers can get $110 off with code REA1 at the Waterdrop Official Store.
The Waterdrop removes impurities using a six-stage deep filtration system; the water is run through non-woven fabric, a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, a scale inhibitor, pre-carbon block, and PP cotton, before being treated with UV sterilization.
The Waterdrop A1 can rapidly cool or heat water to a wide range of temperatures—from 41°F (5°C) for a cool glass of water, to 140°F/60°C for a cup of tea to 185°F/85°C for a cup of coffee.
It can be run in multiple modes—night mode keeps it running quiet and conserves energy use, off-home mode will empty stagnant water, and altitude mode corrects the water’s boiling point.
The interface is clear and easy to use, with an OLED screen allowing you to select the temperature and water volume, start the dispensing, engage the child lock, or check the remaining filter lifespan.
