    https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-white-cordless-17l-kettle/p/0316169 will give you boiling water. You could buy 100 of them for the same price.


    I'd be pretty cheesed off after spending £600 on a tap.

    A good example of a solution looking for a problem.

    Unless you have a particular need for one, such as dexterity/mobility/motor strength requirements that make operating a kettle difficult and/or unsafe.

    And fill up the limited space under your sink with a heater and water filter .

    Short answer: Yes it will.

    It's basically a tap with a built-in kettle. Up to you whether that's a good value proposition though; the price is definitely coming down on them though, we do tap+tank for ~£500.

    Not all will dispense boiling water. The cheaper ones don't always but provide close to boiling.

    I love ours and wouldn't be without it.

    If you want a much cheaper idea then go for a "smart kettle",that combined with Google or Amazon devices will boil it.
    Personally I would not waste my money on either choices but each to their own.

    Friends of ours did a house sit at a property with one of those. They did use it, but also used the kettle at times. It's a lot of money, and I don't suppose it will be much cheaper, if any cheaper, than a kettle to use.

    if you live in a hard water area, does the hot water tap become furred up? And if so, how do you clean it?

    We had a hot water tap in the US during the 1990s - it was a bit gimmicky and was hardly used, coffee machine and a kettle being preferred for our drinks.

    I inherited a quoker when I bought my current home, I've found the convienience great and wouldn't be without it. Also easy to repair and maintain as I can testify when mine suffered some minor damage during kitchen refit.
