Can anyone please tell me the cheapest place to buy a water cooler.
Many thanks

We’ve decided to save ourselves some money together with effort of having to resell it when we leave so will now look for a 19 lt bottle water pump (husband’s common sense prevails).

The 'Spot Shop' which is in the basement of a block of flats on the New Harbour Road.

KC, might be the cheapest to buy but not necessarily the cheapest to run. We bought a small fridge from them to stick in the garage, only to find it was about E for electrical consumption.

It might well be but the OP no longer wants a swing.... In fact they now only want a pump type dispenser... virtually any housewares shop sells them.

9yrs ago we bought a water cooler from Alladins Cave. 4yrs ago we had a leak Returned to Alladins Cave to buy a replacement. The very nice man in there said it's possible that the bottle could be the problem go back home & check the bottle. He was exactly right it was the bottle leaking not the machine
He didn't have to tell us that & lose himself a sale.
Last week again a leak, this time it was definitely the machine after 9 years of constant daily use. Can't complain at that.
Straight back to Alladins Cave for a replacement to a trader who we trust & respect.

Hi frugal90,
I believe we paid 160tl.with a years guarantee.
When we got it home & stripped away the packaging there was a crack across the top., which being in the packaging he obviously wasn't aware of
Took it back no quibbles, apologised profusely, and replaced it.
Very fair man

Groucho, you answered that enquiry yourself in msg 7.
The current discussion has 'wandered off topic' somewhat, and is responding to frugal90's enquiry in msg 9...
Do try to keep up!
