Strengths and trade-offs
Qettle Signature Modern 4-in-1 (4L)
What we like
- 4-litre tank serves up to 8 cups in one go
- Marine-grade stainless steel tap, engineered in the UK
- Two-stage child safety: button and turn before boiling water flows
- Choice of round or square spout in stainless, PVD colour or etched finishes
Watch out for
- 17.5-minute initial heat-up and 10-minute recovery after a full tank

- Two-year warranty
Quooker Classic Nordic Round Single Tap
What we like
- Period styling for a dedicated boiling tap, including a nickel finish
- Adds 100°C boiling without replacing a much-loved classic mixer
- Same PRO3 tank and genuine 100°C boil as the rest of the range
Watch out for
- Boiling water only, so it does not replace your mixer tap
- £1,050 for boiling alone is premium against a 3-in-1
- Three finishes only: chrome, stainless steel or nickel
