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

Quooker Front

What we like

  • Front-facing handle clears space behind the spout
  • Ergonomic lever easier for users with limited reach
  • Works against backsplashes and windowsills others cannot
  • Red Dot Design Award 2023 for the form factor

Watch out for

  • £1,400 RRP is dearest Quooker 3-in-1 in current range
  • Newer model has limited long-term Trustpilot data
  • CUBE filter cartridge replacement adds ongoing cost
  • Front controls less discreet than top-mounted alternatives
