Boiling water tap - who is right?

[Northernlurker]

Dh wants one in new kitchen. Because it's cool I think.

I think it's expensive bollocks that we don't need and would potentially be dangerous for future grandchildren.

Who's right?

@caspianberg - how does it work with the hot water dispenser in breakfast cupboard. We have had the breville hotcup for many years but always need to replace every year or two despite filtering our hard water before adding it. Is it a faff to refill it when it is under a shelf in the breakfast cupboard and are you just refilling with tap water. Our shelf will be fixed 450mm above work top in breakfast cupboard. Thanks

Has anyone else done this route instead of quooker?

It’s expensive and unless you’re constantly using it then what’s the point.

@Cabinetministers - we have this caso-design.de/en/p/hw660-turbo/. They do a 4l also

Just fill the water from tap. We don’t have hard water here so not sure about that.

I couldn’t justify 10% more of entire new kitchen on a tap.

@5zeds

Quooker is the only hot tap which water comes out of the tap at 100. It stores in the tank above 100. water above a hundred…wow.

Designed by a Dutch physicist who spent his life tinkering with it. & probably left his tinkerings littering the kitchen table!

Wow loads of views!

Ok I am convinced it's not dangerous but I still think it's expensive bollocks. Hoping to spend around fifteen grand so it's quite a big chunk

I love our Quooker. I was very sceptical at first, mainly due to cost, but our kitchen supplier said he'd throw it in for free if we accepted his quote. Really woudn't be without it now and its my favourite bit of kitchen kit.

Our kitchen was £23k ish…so a rain chunk was the tap.

They're not simple to use imo. Many a time I watch people trying to use the one at work.

I wouldn't have one.

I loved mine, but when we were moving house the surveyor wrote in the report that we must have damp as we had a de humidifier under the sink. It was infact the boiler for the tap. He nearly lost us the sale.
