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
Quooker Nordic Square Twintaps
What we like
- Boiling tap and matching mixer supplied as one coordinated set
- Child-safe handle: press twice and turn before boiling water flows
- Choice of PRO3, COMBI or COMBI+ tank
Watch out for
- Needs worktop space and tap holes for two separate taps
- Two finishes: polished chrome or stainless steel
