1. Pricing & Affordability
The King Top 2 is the most affordable Cuckoo model at just RM58/month, making it perfect for small families or first-time users. The Vivid, slightly more expensive at RM83/month, includes a larger tank and higher hot water capacity—ideal for those who regularly use hot water.
2. Temperature Options
- King Top 2: Offers 3 temperature modes — Hot, Cold, and Ambient.
- Vivid: Offers 2 temperature modes — Hot and Warm water.
If you’re looking for cold water (for drinks or refreshment), King Top 2 is the better choice. But if your family mostly uses hot or warm water (for milk, coffee, or tea), Vivid provides a better experience with its larger hot water tank.
3. Tank Capacity & Usage Volume
The Vivid model is better suited for families of up to 8 people, thanks to its larger internal tank (Hot: 5.3L / Warm: 1.3L).
The King Top 2 suits smaller households of 1–5 people, with sufficient capacity for daily use.
4. Design & Kitchen Fit
Both models are mechanical (non-digital) and designed for countertop placement, but:
- King Top 2 is more compact and suits small kitchens.
- Vivid is slightly larger, which may suit those with more countertop space.
Both feature a modern stainless steel water tank, ensuring durability and hygiene.
5. Maintenance & Servicing
No matter which model you choose, Cuckoo provides free servicing every 4 months. The service includes:
- Internal cleaning
- Filter replacement
- Function testing
- Exterior sanitization
There’s no extra charge during the rental contract.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Choose King Top 2 if you:
- Want the most budget-friendly Cuckoo option
- Need cold water access
- Live in a smaller household (1–5 pax)
- Prefer a compact purifier for small kitchens
- Choose Vivid if you:
- Use hot water frequently for baby milk, tea, etc.
- Need a larger tank for 2–8 users
- Don’t need cold water
- Prefer a simple but more robust unit
Conclusion
Both the King Top 2 and Vivid are great value-for-money options with mild alkaline filtration, child-safe hot water, and zero upfront rental plans. It really comes down to your usage preference and household size. Either way, you’ll enjoy clean, healthy water with free maintenance every 4 months.
