Midea YLD1660T Countertop Water Dispenser, White – Cold & Ambient

The Midea YLD1660T is a compact countertop water dispenser that delivers ice-cold and ambient temperature water without eating into your floor space, powered by a 100W compressor with a 3-litre cold tank and 2 litres of cooling recovery per hour. At just 506mm tall and 11kg, it sits on any counter or table and plugs straight into a normal socket — no plumbing, no floor unit, no fuss.

If you live in a flat, share a small kitchen, or just don’t have the floor space for a full-height dispenser, this is built for exactly that — drop a standard top-loading water bottle on, plug it in, and you’ve got chilled and room-temperature water on tap within minutes. The compressor cooling system (not a passive cooling element) keeps the 3-litre tank properly cold, recovering at 2 litres an hour so it keeps up through the day, and the front panel’s indicator lights let you see at a glance that it’s powered and cooling correctly.

Built-in electrical protection guards against overheating and voltage spikes, which matters given South Africa’s variable power supply, and the eco-friendly R134a refrigerant keeps the environmental footprint down without sacrificing cooling performance. It’s worth being clear that this is a cold-and-ambient unit, not a three-temperature one — there’s no hot tap, so if you need hot water for tea or coffee as well, you’ll want a different model in the range.

It’s a natural fit for student apartments, work-from-home desks, small offices without a kitchen, or as a second dispenser for a garage or granny flat. Because it sits on a counter rather than the floor, you can put it exactly where you’ll actually use it — next to the kettle, on a reception desk, or on a pantry shelf. Order now and enjoy free delivery to your door anywhere in South Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Midea YLD1660T need to be plumbed in?

No. It’s a top-loading, zero-plumbing dispenser — you place a standard pre-sealed 5-litre or larger top-loading water bottle upside down on the unit and it starts dispensing immediately. All you need is a nearby plug point; there’s no installation or fixed water-line connection required.

How much counter space does a countertop water dispenser need?

The YLD1660T has a footprint of 360mm wide by 310mm deep, roughly the same as a large kettle or a small microwave, and stands 506mm tall. It needs a stable, level surface that can take an 11kg unit plus the weight of a full water bottle, with a plug point within reach — a section of counter, a sturdy table, or a shelf all work.
