Strengths and trade-offs

Abode Pronteau Province 4-in-1

What we like

  • Genuine 4-in-1 with a separate filtered cold drinking channel, not just a kettle replacement
  • 5-year warranty on the tap, among the longer terms in the category
  • UK brand (Barnsley, est. 2002) with UK support and genuine filters
  • £1,249 RRP undercuts a comparable filtered Quooker setup

Watch out for

  • Steaming hot at 98°C, not a true 100°C boil
  • Boiler warranty is only 2 years (the part most likely to fail); the 5 years covers the tap
  • Filter changed roughly every 6 months plus an annual descale, an ongoing cost
  • Abode does not publish a clear standby wattage, only a 0.8 kWh per 24h figure

Fohen Kyros 4-in-1 Pull Out

What we like

  • Genuine flexible pull-out spout, rare on a boiling tap
  • Full 4-in-1 including filtered cold
  • WRAS approved with a 2-year warranty
  • Sells at £549, below the £739 list price

Watch out for

  • 98°C, not a true 100°C boil
  • Brushed Brass finish costs £30 more
  • Power draw not published by Fohen
  • Younger brand, thinner long-term track record
