Anyone else have one of these. When I had my kitchen re-done three years ago I had one installed. Ever since I had seen an advert. for the Quooker, I had wanted one.
I did not get the quooker, but my installers put in a FRANKE. He put the actual tank away behind the kickboard, so it took up no cupboard space. Fell in love with it from the start - instant boiling water for drinks and cooking, etc.
A big filter does take space under my sink, and I read the instructions, and towards the end of 12 months purchased (very pricey), new filter. So easy to change, turn tap,unscrew and screw on new one, turn tap. All done I thought until suddenly I had only cold waterna couple of days later.
Note, not only does this system work that special boiling water tap, but also the actual hot water tap in my sink. When it does not work for any reason it means I have no hot water in the kitchen. Fortunately, I did keep a kettle.
Kitchen fitters called iback in and after about an hour on the floor and much of the time looking at their tablet they worked out that just putting on the new filter is not enough. the machine has to be hand adjusted and re-set. You really would think that modern technology would enable this to re-set itself when a new filter is installed.
One year on, I called in daughter, and = again using u-tube, she managed to get it re-set. This year she decided she is getting too old to get down that low, so brought along her youngest (14 yrs). Last year I tried to write down what she had done, obviously got it all wrong as that did not work this year. Me in a panic.....Telephone call to son-on-law (an engineer), who looked it up and directed instructions. All done now - so for next 364 days I will just enjoy using it and (almost definitely), have another panic when it all needs doing again.
Franke is not a cheap alternative to Quookers. I would like to know if quookers re-set themselves or require this sort of annual palavar. And, although I appreciate that the kitchen fitter put this tank behind the kickboard to give me more cupboard space, he was not really thinking about how I would be able to get to it for this re-set each year - although I suspect he did not know about it.
Anyone else have any makes of these - How do you get on with them
