Strengths and trade-offs
Hanstrom Saxan 4-in-1
What we like
- Distinct square D-shape spout, Hanstrom's current square 4-in-1
- Touchscreen presets (75/85/90/95°C) for tea, coffee and noodles
- Genuine 4-in-1 with carbon-and-phosphate filtration (filtered boiling and filtered cold)
- Usually sells around £399, undercutting most premium 4-in-1s
Watch out for
- 75 to 98°C steaming hot, not a true 100°C boil
- Boiler warranty is only 1 year (tap 2 years); 3 years needs a paid extension (~£99)
- Permanent 'sale' pricing makes the £569 RRP a soft anchor
- Younger brand with thin published specs (no peak wattage)
Qettle Original 4-in-1
What we like
- £620 RRP roughly half the equivalent Quooker pricing
- 4L tank delivers around 8 mugs back-to-back
- Filtered cold and 100°C boiling from a single spout
- Trustpilot praises Qettle support beyond warranty period
Watch out for
- Standard warranty just 2 years on boiler and cartridge
- Trustpilot reports boiler leaks at 2.5-3 year mark
- Annual descale required, more maintenance than Quooker
- Service network thinner than established brands
