Top 10 Best Black Counter Depth Refrigerators With Water Dispenser for Smart Kit

Customer Review: “Nice fridge, works well so far. My only surprise was that the interior was black – I thought they just meant the exterior.”

Customer Review: “Worked for one season then the temperature control went crazy and now it runs continuously freezing everything in the fridge.”

Customer Review: “Prior to buying this Brio water dispenser we owned a Primo brand dispenser (also purchased from Amazon) we were pretty happy with it, for the most part. Over the past few years the primo has developed a taste I didn’t care for, but no one else in the house seemed to notice or care. I tried cleaning it with vinegar and water flushes and dilute bleach and water flushes but the taste remained. I figured it was just the brand of 5 gal bottles we were having delivered so I drank a lot of wasteful single serve plastic bottles to avoid the water from the Primo unit. Finally the cooling part of the Primo broke so I started looking for a replacement.I definitely wanted another bottom fed cooler. Once you get rid of that 5 gallon bottle perched on top of your cooler you’ll never want to go back. Just not having to deadlift the 50 lb bottle and flip it over without spilling a bunch of water on the floor is reason enough, right? Then there is the nice clean look of the cooler without the bottle perched on the top. Anyway, the Brio is a bottom fed so it fit the bill there. I also liked the sound of the ‘self cleaning ozone’ feature so I decided to give the Brio a try, and I’m so glad I did.This Brio is such an improvement over the Primo it replaced. Let’s start with little things. The Brio pump is quieter. No one in our house cares about this but I’ve seen people complain about noisy bottom fed coolers and the Brio is pretty quiet.The Primo had a room temp button but the water was the nearly the same temp as the cold. It was a pointless and never used button on the PrimoThe Brio room temp button is just that, room temp water. I measured each spout and the cold is 43°F, room temp is 71°F, and hot is 178°F. Now you may already know this but 178°F is a great temp for steeping most white and green teas as well as herbal blends. Oolong and black teas want to be a little hotter (up over 200°F) but for a relaxing cup of sleepytime tea this thing s perfect. The Primo only reached 165F°. Point Brio.Also note you can turn off the hot water in the Brio if you don’t want to use it and don’t want to waste the energy heating water you won’t use. This was the same with the Primo.Tall containers fit better in the Brio. The Brio has a full 1 3/4″ (4.5cm for you non-Americans) more space under the spout than the Primo did, a full 10 inches from base to spout as well as a slightly wider perch than the Primo. I can fill my baseball stadium ‘big ole beer’ cups, my Bubba Keg, even my wife’s tall 64oz Camelback fits under the Brio nozzle no problem. That never worked with the Primo, you were always holding cups at a weird angle with your finger over the edge to feel when the water was close to the top. Point BrioThe Brio is attractive, at least in my opinion. Black and stainless fit well in most any decor. The Primo was the same color scheme so a wash there.The taste. The water from the Brio is delicious. I don’t know what the deal was with the Primo, maybe it was age or some tubing they used I didn’t like but I’m back to drinking water from the dispenser instead of destroying the environment with plastic single serve water bottles. I’m going to make regular use of the ‘self cleaning ozone’ feature in hopes of keeping it that way. I much prefer being an environmentally conscious citizen but I just couldn’t drink the water from the Primo, it was gross.So I guess you’ve figured out by now I really love this Brio water cooler and I highly recommend it. It is on the higher priced side of water dispensers but not by a lot and to me, if the self clean feature works it is 100% worth the extra money to have a cooler I will continue using for many years because the water will actually taste good.”

Customer Review: “I bought this product back on April 13, 2023. I love it, and it works very well. On January 31, 2026, it started malfunctioning. We try to make it work ourselves, but it only works for a little while. Please provide some instructions to see if we can fix it ourselves. If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them.”

Customer Review: “fantastic addition to my home office. It delivers both hot and cold water at the touch of a button, making it incredibly convenient for quick drinks or instant meals. The sleek design fits well into any space, and the dispenser operates quietly, which is a big plus.However, I noticed that the cooling is a bit slow, and the temperature range could be broader—currently, it offers 176-196°F for hot water and 39-59°F for cold. The touch-only control at the bottom lacks tactile feedback, which can be frustrating when you’re in a hurry. Additionally, the built-in water filters aren’t sufficient for high-quality filtration, so I recommend using it with a Reverse Osmosis System for the best results.Despite these minor drawbacks, this water cooler is still a great choice for anyone looking for convenience and style in their water dispenser.”

Customer Review: “Only 4 months old. Machine works but when using the cold water it leaks for a few seconds after releasing button so I would have to hold my cup there for a couple seconds after so the water catch below doesn’t fill up as fast. Started happening at about a month old. Not a problem with the room temperature, or the hot water. Not to mention it doesn’t dispense water when the power goes out so you would still have to have a couple cases of water on hand for emergencies. Would not buy again not for the high cost of it.Update: So after 14 months the unit was not making water cold nomore and a week later it doesn’t even fill with water. Checked all the hoses and water runs through all of it, it’s just the dispenser is not pulling it in, in none of the 3 hot, cold, and room temperature none of them dispenses water. Don’t waste your time on this dispenser like I did. Luckily I bought the protection plan for 4 years and was refunded.”

Customer Review: “Everything works as advertised. The white sticker for cup placement is annoying to remove, but I used goo-gone to remove the gluey residue and everything works well as it should! Ice maker is a breeze and instructions and care is straight-forward. Worth the money!”

Customer Review: “Do not buy until they remove supper ugly cup replacement sticker right at water dispensing place. The sticker is hard to remove. No good reason for that sticker. After spending about 60 minutes to remove using hot water soaking and even acetone. That 4 inch by 4 inch ugly glue still stays. It’s insane and I am upset. But yet not returning the unit. Everything else appears to be flawless so far. Noise is also not too loud. I don’t believe anybody would keep with that sticker on at home, keeping aside at business place.”

Customer Review: “I had given this 1 star because of issues explained below. I’ve decided to update this review because: 1) I called the company again and reached customer service easily. 2) They processed an exchange with free return shipping. 3) The replacement is working great so far. Can’t ask for much more than that!I bought this dispenser for our office, it initially worked very well. The cold water was clean and crisp. The hot water was hot enough to brew a cup of tea. But after one month, the machine stopped cooling. I went through the reboot instructions but it didn’t work. So, I replaced the filters, which was also recommended for a malfunction. Initially, this also did not work – but several days later, the cooling element worked again – but stopped working after one day. I called Brio customer support and was given instructions to turn off the hot and cold buttons, unplug the machine for 2 hours, plug it back in, dispense some water, turn on the hot/cold, and see if it started working. This did not work. I called Brio back during business hours. The phone rang for ages and no one answered. It would have been just as cost effective to take $300 in cash and run it through a shredder. This is the third water dispensing machine that has malfunctioned in our office. I suppose the return process will also be a hassle – assuming I ever get someone at Brio to answer the phone.”

Customer Review: “It quit working after 6 months. The cold water ran hot and is just junk. Unfortunately, I bought another one for the office a couple months after and the pressure regulator broke after a month.”

Customer Review: “This mini fridge is perfect for storing drinks and snacks without taking up too much space. The double glass door looks great and keeps everything visible. However, the temperature control isn’t very precise, and I often find myself adjusting it multiple times a day. Also, the door doesn’t seal as tightly as I’d hoped, which might lead to higher energy consumption over time.”

Customer Review: “I use this fridge mainly for beer storage, and it keeps everything ice-cold consistently. The lock feature is helpful since my dog sometimes tries to help himself to my stash. One downside is that it’s a bit louder than expected, especially when cycling on and off. Still, for the price, it’s a solid performer.”

Customer Review: “I purchased this refrigerator for my mother who has mobility issues. While the height is perfect for her, I’ve noticed it runs constantly and seems to struggle maintaining temperature. Also, the door doesn’t close flush with the cabinet, which creates a gap.”

Customer Review: “Looks great when installed but failed after 3 months. The warranty claim process was confusing and took weeks to resolve. Not recommended for long-term reliability.”

Customer Review: “This fridge has transformed my basement bar! I can finally store all my craft beers without worrying about warm spots. The digital controls are intuitive, and the reversible door made installation a breeze. Only complaint is it’s a bit loud when cycling, but not disruptive.”

Customer Review: “Perfect for my home office breakroom. Keeps sodas ice-cold all day, and the lock feature stops my coworkers from stealing my energy drinks. Build quality feels solid, though the interior lighting could be brighter.”

Customer Review: “Great little fridge for my dorm room. Keeps drinks cold and the lock stops my roommate from helping himself to my soda. The only issue is it’s a bit cramped — I can barely fit a 24-pack and a few taller bottles.”

Customer Review: “I use this in my garage workshop. Works perfectly for keeping beers cold while I work. The lock is handy since my kids sometimes wander in. Build quality feels durable, though the door seal could be tighter.”

Reloading the balance is simple, quick, and easy to understand without unnecessary steps or confusion.It is especially useful for managing spending, setting a shopping budget, or keeping funds ready for future purchases.
