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)
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)
