gadget-loving professionals – and they are big fans – but also to young families.

Featuring a childproof tap, the Quooker is far safer than a kettle when you’ve got toddlers about since it’s fixed to the counter and can’t be pulled off. For busy parents, the tap also saves on precious time and can be used for many of the tasks that they find most useful; sterilising baby bottles, boiling eggs and rinsing blenders and liquidisers. Those with newly installed Quookers often remark that they don’t know how they ever did without it.

But besides being convenient, its biggest selling point is its eco-credentials. From the instant a Quooker is installed, a homeowner immediately starts saving money, energy and water. The energy-greedy kettle has becomes a thing of the past and instead of boiling up too much water for a fresh cuppa exactly the required amount of 100°C water is dispensed – no more, no less! A kettle, after all, can cost £80 to £150 per year, whereas the running cost of a Quooker is just 3p a day.

There are more savings to be had, too, as the Quooker replaces many of the functions of other appliances; no more slowly heating up pans of water on a hob as it’s possible to fill up and be ready to cook at once. Use it for blanching vegetables, making pasta and reconstituting instant foods. It is invaluable, too, for cleaning; dislodging sticky food from frying pans, stains from chopping boards and wax from candlesticks so effortlessly.

The science behind it is very simple. Sitting in the undersink cupboard is a compact three-litre vacuum-tank that is surprisingly easy to fit and maintain, requiring a change of filter only every 3 years. This well-insulated VAQ ‘thermos flask’ water tank keeps fresh water at a constant 110°C under mains pressure and the unit is cool to the touch.

The HiTAC filter purifies the water and collects limescale as the water passes from tank to tap. When the tap is opened, water mixes with oxygen and boils at 100°C – coming out of the tap in a fine spray rather than a hard jet. In fact, the whooshing noise it makes is much more appealing than the boiling of a kettle.

Taste isn’t compromised at all; tea made with the Quooker tastes significantly better. As the water emerges from the tap at 100°C, naturally occurring calcium in the water changes from soluble to insoluble. This prevents it reacting with the tannins and leaving ‘scummy’ deposits on cups and teapots, thus creating the perfect cup of tea.

Available in four chic designs (Basic, Classic, Design and Modern), the Quooker has a design of tap for every type of kitchen even a period one. It is available in six finishes (chrome, brushed chrome, satin chrome, stainless steel effect, gold-plated brass and bronze) so it also offers flexibility of choice for every decorative scheme.

With so many benefits, the Quooker appeals on many levels and any developer installing one will definitely win points with all its potential customers.
