Strengths and trade-offs

Franke Omni

What we like

  • Built-in filter delivers chilled filtered water without add-on
  • Spout body stays cool even during prolonged dispensing
  • 4.2L tank larger than most rivals under £1,200

Watch out for

  • Owners report flow slowdown after 2 years in hard-water areas
  • Heating tank replacement reported at around £400 out of warranty

Quooker Nordic Round Single Tap

What we like

  • Child-safe handle: press twice and turn before boiling water flows
  • Insulated, rotatable tap body that never dispenses a solid boiling jet
  • Choice of PRO3, COMBI or COMBI+ tank

Watch out for

  • Boiling water only, so it does not replace your mixer tap
  • Two finishes: polished chrome or stainless steel
