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 Modena Digital 100
What we like
- Genuine 100°C dispense, rare in the Fohen range
- 2 kW digital boiler with an eco mode to 60°C
- Larger 2.5L tank than the Pro range
- Published power and flow-rate figures
Watch out for
- Only a 1-year standard warranty
- A 3-in-1, fewer functions than the 4-in-1 Pro taps
- Fohen notes the digital display is not very bright
- Dispensed temperature can dip below 100°C
