Strengths and trade-offs
Grohe Red Duo L-Size
What we like
- Boiling, filtered and a full hot-and-cold mixer in one tap, no second tap hole
- Large 5.5L boiling reserve (7L total) on the L-size boiler
- Child-safe touch-button dispensing with ChildLock as standard
- Sells around £1,625 at UK specialists, far below the £2,578 list price
Watch out for
- 99°C dispense, not a true 100°C boil (despite Grohe’s "100°C" marketing)
- At around £1,625 it is still a premium tap, though far below its £2,578 list
- BWT filter must be changed yearly or every ~600L, an ongoing cost
- Standard guarantee is 2 years (3 only with registration), shorter than InSinkErator or Franke
Qettle Signature Modern 4-in-1 (Round Spout, 7L)
What we like
- 7-litre tank serves up to 14 cups in one go, sized for larger households
- Four separate waterways and no electronic components in the tap
- Two-stage child safety: button and turn before boiling water flows
- Marine-grade stainless steel tap, engineered in the UK
Watch out for
- 20-minute initial heat-up and 15-minute recovery after a full tank
- Two-year warranty
