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 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)
