The Hamilton Beach BL-1-3 is a bottom-loading water cooler that dispenses both hot and cold water for home and office use. The bottom-loading design eliminates the need to lift heavy water bottles, as the water bottle slides into a cabinet at the base of the unit with a probe assembly that automatically draws water upward.

The unit features instant cold water dispensing that chills water to approximately 4 degrees Celsius using an energy-efficient compressor, and instant hot water dispensing with a child safety lock that heats water to approximately 98 degrees Celsius for coffee, tea, oatmeal, or instant meals. Indicator lights show cooling status, heating status, and when the bottle needs replacement. The stainless steel design includes convenient energy saver switches that turn off hot and cold functions to reduce electricity consumption when not needed.

The water cooler is compliant with Energy Star guidelines and certified by UL and CSA for safety. It accommodates standard 3-gallon, 4-gallon, and 5-gallon water bottles and features a removable drip tray for easy cleaning. Model BL-1-3 is available with white or black top finishes and includes a 1-year warranty.
