Dawlance WD-1051 CN Grey 2 Taps Top Load Water Dispenser with 16L Refrigerator Cabinet
Overview
The Dawlance WD-1051 CN Grey 2 Taps Top Load Water Dispenser is built for households and workplaces that want dependable chilled drinking water without paying for features they will never use. By focusing on cold and normal water rather than including a heating element, Dawlance has produced a dispenser that costs less to buy, consumes less electricity, and has fewer components that can fail over time.
Dawlance is among the most established appliance manufacturers in Pakistan, with a nationwide service network and a strong reputation for after-sales support. The WD-1051 reflects that engineering discipline: a proper compressor cooling system, stainless steel internal tanks, and a 3-year compressor warranty that speaks directly to the durability of the unit's most important component.
The CN Grey finish gives the dispenser a clean, understated appearance that works equally well in a domestic kitchen, an office pantry, a clinic waiting room, or a retail counter area. Its compact footprint means it can be positioned in tight corners where a bulkier appliance would not fit.
Two Taps for Cold and Normal Water
The dispenser features two clearly separated push faucets. The cold tap delivers water chilled to a range of approximately 7 to 10 degrees Celsius, which is the ideal drinking temperature: cold enough to be genuinely refreshing during Pakistani summers, but not so cold that it becomes uncomfortable to drink. The second tap dispenses water at normal room temperature, which many people prefer for taking medication, for children, and for anyone advised to avoid chilled drinks.
Push-style faucets are simple to operate for all ages, require no twisting or gripping strength, and are easier to keep clean than lever mechanisms.
2.5 Litres Per Hour Compressor Cooling
At the heart of the WD-1051 is a high-performance compressor cooling system with a rated cooling capacity of 2.5 litres per hour. This matters most during heavy use. When several family members or colleagues draw water one after another, a compressor system replenishes the chilled supply quickly rather than leaving the next person with lukewarm water.
Compressor cooling also reaches genuinely low temperatures and holds them steadily, unlike thermoelectric systems used in budget dispensers which struggle once the surrounding room temperature climbs. In a country where summer temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees Celsius, this difference is significant.
3.5 Litre Stainless Steel Cold Water Tank
The internal cold water tank holds 3.5 litres and is constructed from stainless steel rather than plastic. Stainless steel does not corrode, does not absorb odours, and does not transfer any taste to the water. It is also far easier to sanitise, which is essential for an appliance that stores drinking water continuously.
16 Litre Built-In Refrigerator Cabinet
Below the dispensing section, the WD-1051 includes a 16 litre refrigerator compartment. This is generous for a dispenser in this category and can comfortably hold soft drink bottles, juice cartons, fruit, yoghurt, medicines that require cool storage, or packed lunch items.
For a small apartment, a hostel room, an office pantry, a shop counter, or a clinic reception, this cabinet often removes the need to purchase a separate mini refrigerator. Two appliances become one, saving both floor space and running costs.
Top Load Design
The WD-1051 uses a top load configuration, where the water bottle sits visibly on top of the unit. You can see at a glance how much water remains, bottle replacement is straightforward without any pump mechanism or tubing, and there are fewer moving parts that can develop faults. Top load dispensers are also generally easier and less expensive to service.
Energy Efficient Operation
Because the WD-1051 has no heating element, it draws considerably less power than a three-tap dispenser that maintains a hot water tank around the clock. The compressor engages only when cooling is required and then switches off, keeping consumption controlled. For homes and offices watching electricity costs, this represents a meaningful saving across a full year of use.
3-Year Compressor Warranty
Dawlance provides a 3-year warranty on the compressor, the single most expensive and most critical component in any cooling appliance. A warranty of this length is a direct statement of confidence in build quality, and it gives buyers genuine long-term protection rather than a token first-year guarantee.
Ideal Applications
- Homes and apartments: reliable chilled drinking water with extra cold storage, at a lower purchase price than three-tap models.
- Offices and workplaces: steady cold water supply for staff, with a cabinet for lunches and beverages.
- Shops and retail counters: compact enough for narrow spaces while serving both staff and customers.
- Clinics and waiting rooms: no hot tap means no burn risk in areas used by the general public.
- Hostels and rented accommodation: the 16 litre cabinet replaces the need for a separate mini fridge.
- Homes with young children: the absence of a hot water tap removes a common household safety hazard entirely.
Who Should Choose This Model
If your household already has a kettle, an electric geyser, or a stove for hot water, paying extra for a hot tap on a dispenser adds cost and electricity consumption without adding real value. The WD-1051 is designed precisely for that buyer: someone who wants excellent cold water performance, useful cold storage, and long-term reliability, without the expense and safety considerations that come with a heated tank.

6. Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dawlance WD-1051 provide hot water?
No. This model is designed with two taps only: one for chilled water and one for normal room-temperature water. It does not include a heating element or hot water tap. This keeps the purchase price lower, reduces electricity consumption, and removes any scalding risk, which makes it a popular choice for households with young children and for public waiting areas.
How cold does the water get?
The cold tap dispenses water at approximately 7 to 10 degrees Celsius. This is widely regarded as the ideal drinking temperature, chilled enough to be refreshing in hot weather without being uncomfortably cold to drink.
What does a cooling capacity of 2.5 litres per hour mean in practice?
It means the dispenser can chill about 2.5 litres of water every hour. Combined with the 3.5 litre cold water tank, this allows the unit to keep pace with normal household or office demand and to replenish the chilled supply quickly after several people have drawn water in succession.
How large is the refrigerator cabinet and what can it hold?
The built-in refrigerator compartment has a capacity of 16 litres. It comfortably accommodates soft drink bottles, juice cartons, fruit, yoghurt, cool-storage medicines, and packed lunch items. For small apartments, hostel rooms, offices, and shops, it often removes the need for a separate mini refrigerator.
What material are the internal water tanks made from?
The water tanks are made from stainless steel. This resists rust and corrosion, does not affect the taste or smell of the water, and is significantly easier to sanitise than plastic. Stainless steel also contributes directly to the long service life of the appliance.
What is a top load water dispenser?
A top load design means the water bottle is placed on top of the unit, where it remains visible. This makes it easy to monitor the remaining water level, simplifies bottle replacement, and involves fewer mechanical parts than bottom-load designs, which generally translates to greater reliability and easier servicing.
What warranty is included?
The unit carries a 3-year warranty on the compressor, which is the most important and most costly component of the cooling system. Full warranty terms are available on our warranty policy page, and our support team can assist with any service request or claim.
How much electricity does it consume?
Because there is no heating element to keep a hot tank warm continuously, the WD-1051 uses noticeably less power than three-tap dispensers. The compressor runs only when cooling is needed and then switches off. Actual consumption depends on room temperature and how frequently cold water is drawn.
What size water bottle does it accept?
It is designed for standard top-load water bottles commonly used across Pakistan, typically the 19-litre size supplied by local water delivery services.
Does it require professional installation?
No. Place the dispenser on a firm, level surface with adequate clearance around the rear and sides for ventilation, load the water bottle, and connect it to a standard power socket. Allow a short period for the water to reach the correct temperature before the first use.
How should the dispenser be cleaned and maintained?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and empty the drip tray regularly. Sanitise the internal tank every few months to maintain hygiene. Always disconnect the unit from power before cleaning, and keep the rear ventilation area free of dust so the compressor can release heat efficiently.
Is this model suitable for office use?
Yes. The 2.5 litres per hour cooling capacity and 3.5 litre chilled reserve are well suited to continuous office demand, while the 16 litre cabinet gives staff a convenient place to store lunches and beverages. The absence of a hot tap also simplifies safety in shared workspaces.
How long does delivery take?
Orders within Lahore are typically delivered within one to two working days. Delivery times for other cities across Pakistan vary by location and courier schedule. Our representative will confirm shipping details when your order is verified.
