The Discreet Bedroom Addition That Will Save You Many Trips To The Kitchen

It's a no-brainer to go to the kitchen when you need a glass of water. But what if it's the middle of the night, your kitchen is downstairs, and you're cozy in bed? You choose to stay in the bedroom. Not because you'd rather die of thirst, but because you have a handy-dandy gadget on your nightstand that dispenses all the water you need, day and night. The product in question is the Keweis Portable Electric Water Bottle Pump. Some will call it lazy, but we like to think of it as time-efficient.

Whether you drink lots of water at night or often wake up dehydrated, this tabletop dispenser promises to make your life easier. It's especially handy for disabled people and breastfeeding parents who don't want to go far for a refill. The same can be said for kids who keep getting out of bed for water. Maybe even put one on your desk to stay hydrated while working away. Whatever the case, it's a much more affordable alternative to installing a water dispenser on your refrigerator if you don't have one. Here's a closer look at the specifics — both good and bad.

Weighing the pros and cons of a tabletop water dispenser

Most water dispensers are bulky and ugly, but not this one. Choose from white, dark blue, light blue, or silver gray — the sleek design blends right in. In terms of functionality, the dispenser runs on a rechargeable battery and even features different water pumping levels. Using it is pretty straightforward: Just place your water jug somewhere hidden below the dispenser and pass the tube through the bottle cap/opening.

In the case of the video above, Instagram user @gracefullyglamblog hid her water container in a decorative basket and topped it with throws. Wooden crates, lower cabinets, and underneath the headboard are also other chic ways to hide your water dispenser jug. On that note, this device works for different-sized bottles and jugs, whether a gallon or five. "It doesn't take too much space, barely needs charging, and is not attached to an outlet," one 5-star reviewer wrote. "Saves me money and the hassle of cleaning up 20 half-drunken water bottles from my bedroom."

It's not all rainbows and butterflies, though. After a few months of use, one buyer realized that there was mold in the water dispenser's tubing. "We've been sick and wondering why we aren't getting better and now we know," the review reads. Another reviewer added that the 30-inch long plastic tube is impossible to clean, hence changing it every 30 days would be a good idea to prevent it from getting moldy. This may seem like too many extra steps. Also, keep in mind that the water comes out at room temperature. If you prefer your water cold, you'll need to keep ice cubes in a thermos cup nearby.
