Usha Instafresh
The Usha Instafresh Water Dispenser is designed to bring everyday convenience and reliable performance to homes and small offices. It is available in three versatile variants:
- Instafresh Floor-standing Dispenser with Cooling Cabinet
- Instafresh Standard Floor-standing Water Dispenser
- Instafresh Table-Top Water Dispenser
Equipped with three dedicated faucets for hot, normal and cold water, Instafresh ensures easy access to water at the preferred temperature. Its 3 litres-per-hour cooling capacity provides a steady supply of chilled water, while the hot-water function is ideal for preparing tea, coffee and instant meals.
Powered by R-134a refrigerant, it consumes up to 110W for cooling and 510W for heating, depending on the variant. Available in White and Jet Black, it also features LED status indicators for added ease of use.
Best for:
- A 4-person home kitchen
- Small offices with limited pantry space
- Families who want both water dispensing and extra cooling storage
Usha Aquagenie+
Aquagenie+ is the only Aquagenie model currently available from Usha and is offered in three convenient variants:
- Aquagenie+ Floor-standing Water Dispenser with Cooling Cabinet
- Aquagenie+ Floor-Standing Water Dispenser
- Aquagenie+ Table-top Water Dispenser
It features a slightly larger 3.2-litre cold water tank than Instafresh, making it well suited for homes and small offices with regular cooling needs.
The Usha Aquagenie+ water dispenser comes with dedicated faucets for hot, normal and cold water, along with a sleek, space-saving design ideal for compact spaces. It delivers a cooling capacity of 2.5 litres per hour and uses R-134A non-CFC refrigerant. If your kitchen or pantry is short on space but you still want a mini cooling cabinet, Aquagenie+ fits that need.
Best for:
- Small offices with regular water usage
- Apartments with limited space
- Homes that need a compact hot, normal, and cold water dispensing solution
Usha Laguna Fresh
The Usha Laguna Fresh Water Dispenser is designed for users who prioritise durability, storage and everyday convenience. Unlike models with separate hot, normal and cold faucets, Laguna Fresh features a streamlined single-faucet design for easy operation.
It includes a 3-litre cold water tank that cools water to below 16°C and a 900 ml hot water storage capacity, making it suitable for regular household or office use.
Usha Laguna Fresh Water Dispenser is available in two variants:
- Laguna Floor Standing Water Dispenser with Cooling Cabinet
- Laguna Floor Standing Water Dispenser
For added safety, it is equipped with a child lock on the hot water faucet.
Laguna Fresh is an excellent choice for larger families or small offices that need extra fridge-style storage along with dependable hot and cold water access.
Best for:
