Strengths and trade-offs

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

Quooker Classic Fusion Square

What we like

  • Period styling in a squared spout for Shaker and classic kitchens
  • Patinated brass develops a genuine patina rather than a printed lacquer
  • Same PRO3 tank and 100°C boil as the rest of the Fusion range

Watch out for

  • 3-in-1 only: no filtered or chilled water without the CUBE upgrade
  • Patinated brass needs an occasional beeswax wipe
  • Fewer finishes than the standard Fusion (no gold, gunmetal or black)
