Strengths and trade-offs
Franke Instante
What we like
- Current Franke 4-in-1: boiling, filtered, hot and cold from one tap
- Built-in filtration and tank included, no separate module needed
- Genuine 100°C boiling water
- 5-year manufacturer guarantee, longer than most rivals
Watch out for
- Filtered cold water, not actively chilled
- Narrow finish range at launch
- Newer model with a thinner independent-review record than the Omni it replaces
Quooker Fusion Square
What we like
- True 100°C boil from the same PRO3 tank as the Fusion Round
- Squared profile suits handleless and contemporary kitchens
- Seven finishes including patinated brass, gold and rose copper
- Quooker UK holds a high Trustpilot rating across 12,000+ reviews
Watch out for
- £1,250 buys boiling plus standard hot and cold only
- Filtered, chilled or sparkling water needs the separate CUBE module
- 2-year warranty on tap and tank (SWAP is a paid out-of-warranty tank swap)
