Small Counter Footprint

Counter space in a dorm is measured in inches rather than in feet.

No Plumbing Required

A fill by hand tank works where there is no line to connect to.

Modest Power Consumption

A shared circuit trips when several appliances pull at the same time.

Quiet Enough to Sleep By

A dorm room is a bedroom, so compressor noise matters after midnight.

Stacks or Stores Away

Anything that lives in a cupboard between uses frees the whole counter.
