I have one day to decide… boiling water tap or not? (Hard water area)

[Jessforless]

Essentially just that, we have to finalise our kitchen tomorrow and we have gone back and forth on this for a year. This is our last chance to add this.

Our feedback from friends has been 50/50, but my DH really wants one.

Would you add one? (And do you live in a hard water area?)

Thanks in advance!

I love my quooker.

It developed a fault (hard water area, I didn't have it serviced) and I missed it so much. I even miss it on holiday 😂

Quooker were great re:repair, came and replaced loads of bits for the price of the service.

But yeah they are more expensive then a plastic kettle, obviously.

my brother had one.
I never got used to it and don't like it
my reasons

1. tea tastes horrible from it. If you say you can't tatse the difference or you don't care fine, but I am the sort of person who will not re-boil kettle but always puts in fresh water because tea tastes less nice with re-boiled water. I am big tea drinker so this alone would be it for me.
2. I always felt like I was going to scald myself. I felt like you were reaching under th ehot water somehow, I am amazed no-one burnt themselves. If I had kid who were reaching the age of making their own hot drinks, I would not want them using this.

But for cooking, it was amazing - instant hot water, no waiting for a pan to heat up

Have a water softener instead of, or as well as. Game changer.

I was reluctant but was persuaded by DH. I’d never not have one now.

I think they make tea taste funny, put me off getting one.

Another quooker fan here. We’ve had ours for 10 years and I’m never going back. Fussy tea drinker too.

We have a quettle and it's brilliant. I'm a tea drinker and live in a hard water area and i find it better. The filters aren't cheap but it's worth it.

Yes but remember you need to get it serviced once a year. Quooker service costs £200 a year
