Strengths and trade-offs
Fohen Focetti Pro 4-in-1
What we like
- 4-in-1 from one spout including filtered cold
- Digital touchscreen with five temperature presets
- WRAS and CE approved with a child-safe spring-lock
- Sells at £489, well below the £898 list price
Watch out for
- 98°C, not a true 100°C boil
- Needs an electrical socket under the sink
- Power draw not published by Fohen
- Some units now ship with a Hanström-branded boiler
Hanstrom Saxan 4-in-1
What we like
- Distinct square D-shape spout, Hanstrom's current square 4-in-1
- Touchscreen presets (75/85/90/95°C) for tea, coffee and noodles
- Genuine 4-in-1 with carbon-and-phosphate filtration (filtered boiling and filtered cold)
- Usually sells around £399, undercutting most premium 4-in-1s
Watch out for
- 75 to 98°C steaming hot, not a true 100°C boil
- Boiler warranty is only 1 year (tap 2 years); 3 years needs a paid extension (~£99)
- Permanent 'sale' pricing makes the £569 RRP a soft anchor
- Younger brand with thin published specs (no peak wattage)
