Had my eyes on a Filken water dispenser, 450w electric consumption:

Anyone have heard of such brand?

Y'all who have a water dispenser at home, especially those which water dispenser's electric consumption is around 450w range, may i know how much you pay for the electric bill?

Any of you do the maintenance yourself, like buy the filter and do the installation/replacement yourself?

Any other recommendation which can be better than the water dispenser mentioned above? I'm looking for one within 1500 budget, not the monthly payment ones

If so worried about bill, then just boil your own water and store la. Cheaper.

thats what im doing, but im thinking having a water dispenser will save me time in boiling/storage of water. I'm not "so" worried, just want to make things clear about my expenses.

Even if it's 2000 watt doesn't matter. You only need less than a minute to fill a cup with hot water

pardon my lack of knowledge, is it that the water dispenser will always make sure the water inside the hot tank will be at the set temperature, or it will only heat up when someone pressed the hot water button, then shuts itself off when no one is using the hot water for a certain period?

if you dont need filtration, you can buy an instant hot water dispenser for about RM250

once you go fully-functional water dispenser, you aint coming back to anything lesser than that
