Sanford 3-Tap Water Dispenser with Built-In Refrigerator and Storage Cabinet - SF1416W

Two appliances, one footprint. The Sanford SF1416W dispenses hot, cold and normal water from three separate taps and has a built-in refrigerator in the base — which means the sodas, water bottles and snacks that were competing for space in your main fridge get their own home, right where people actually come to pour a drink. The three-tap layout is the practical part: normal water means you are not chilling water you wanted at room temperature, or waiting for hot to cool. The tank is #304 food-grade stainless steel, and a storage cabinet holds cups and supplies so the whole drinks station lives in one place. Automatic shut-off and a child lock cover safety. For an office reception, a busy family kitchen or a shop counter, it does the job of a dispenser and a small fridge at once.

Buying guide

Buy this version if you actually want the fridge, because that is what you are paying the premium for over a plain 3-tap dispenser. It earns its place in an office reception, a shop, or a family kitchen where the main fridge is always full — a small dedicated cold compartment for drinks stops people opening the big fridge twenty times a day. The third tap is worth more than people expect: normal-temperature water is what most people actually want with medicine, for baby formula preparation after cooling, or simply to drink without a chill. Check your floor space and leave clearance behind the unit for the cooling system to breathe. Bear in mind the fridge compartment adds to running cost compared with a hot-and-cold-only dispenser, so if nobody will use it, the SF1412WD gives you the same three taps without it. Keep a spare bottle, and sanitise the tank periodically rather than only cleaning the outside.

How it compares

Against the SF1412WD, which offers the same three taps, this adds the built-in refrigerator and storage cabinet — the reason to pay more, and pointless if you will not use them. Compared with the bottom-loading SF1408WD, that model wins decisively on bottle handling (no overhead lifting) while this one wins on functions. Against buying a dispenser plus a separate mini fridge, this occupies one footprint and one socket. Against a plumbed-in system, no plumbing is needed and the unit can be relocated.

Frequently asked questions

What does the third tap dispense?
Normal, room-temperature water, alongside the hot and cold taps. It is the tap most people reach for with medicine or when they simply do not want a chilled drink.

How big is the built-in refrigerator?
It is a compact compartment in the base intended for drinks and small items rather than a replacement for a full fridge. It is what stops people opening the main fridge repeatedly through the day.

Does the fridge add much to the electricity bill?
It does use more than a hot-and-cold-only dispenser, since it runs a cooling compartment as well. If nobody will use the fridge, the SF1412WD gives you the same three taps without it.
