anyone fitted a quooker? boiling hot water tap

[ExArmy]

anybody ever fitted one of these, or got one in your home?

apparently they are supposed to be very energy efficient, uses 10W per day on standby.
a bit pricey at £650 though!

Quooker

thought they were cereals

Cant really see the point in one TBH.

Yeah do quite a few of these with a kitchen firm I work for..... thats seems a bit steep with the price they're normally around £450.

Expensive kettle really, but I'd get one if I had the money,

We fit alot of these but for over 2K and about £80.00 for a replacement filter think they are a tad expensive.

Italian cafes used to have larger contraptions doing the same thing
brilliant for hotting your pies

Ive been doing a few.

Quite a good idea i thought.

Saves waiting for the kettle to boil.

Probably aimed at commercial kitchens who require boiling water frequently.

yeah i thought it looked like a good idea, no more waiting for the kettle to boil ever again.

not sure if it's going to be as energy efficient as it claims though, it mentions on the website 10W per day on standby, how much does it use when it's working and producing boiling water?

i might be persuaded to get one if they are £450 and energy efficient, where is that price from? must be a trade price, i have only just gooogled them today after seeing them in the sunday paper.

 

[Spudnik]

I think it will be like any new product.

Once people start buying them big time, then hopefully the price will reduce.

Let everyone else take the hit first

could be right there mr leaf, i remember the big fast food place being told to stop making coffees so hot a couple of years ago ?? what "ohh i bought a hot coffee and i was a bit daft and burned myself with it i did not realise it was so hot"?? ask for a cold one then.

Only problem I got with these in a domestic situation is a toddler mistaking it for a normal tap, espicially if it's a toddler visiting the house. Not seen a domestic model so they may have safe guards on them.

The zip ones we use have a safety lock for the hot water although we don't use them for domestic.
