InSinkErator 3N1 Instant Hot Water Tap with Tank Kit, Anthracite

Update:I have now had this tap for over 2 years and we are really happy with it. It is possible to hear it heating from time to time, but it isn't anywhere as loud as a kettle as it is well insulated and tucked in a cupboard.From a cost perspective, I have recently been monitoring it's energy consumption, and have calculated the following (all the calculations were done during the day in the summer, with the heater under the sink as shown in the photos, and the kitchen was around 20 c and a target temperature at max)Without drawing any water, in order to maintain the tank at the target temperature, the tank consumed 0.85KW/h per day.To reheat the tank after drawing 250ml of hot water consumed 0.025KW/hI use Outfox the Market, who for the midlands on their Zapp tarrif curently charge £0.0903 per KW/h, therefore:Cost to keep the water hot per day: 7.79p per dayCost for a hot cup of water: 0.22pOriginal Review:I have really wanted to discard the kettle and replace it with an instant hot water tap for some time, and after spending a considerable amount of time looking at the different options, this appealed to me as the best balance between price, functionality, looks and quality.It's a relatively easy fit for a keen DIY'er, the biggest challenge being routing the pipework to the tap from the tank, filter and incoming hot and cold water - it's a total of 6 pipes. You will need a reasonable amount of space in the cupboard below the tap to mount the tank and the filter. Be aware the hole required to mount the tap and the base footprint of the tap itself may be larger than a regular tap, so make sure you have space behind the sink to mount it securely without fouling any splash back or wall behind the sink.Operating the tap is easy, the right hand controls are a regular hot cold mixer type control, with the left hand control being the steaming hot water. It is possible to have both turned on simultaneously, but it requires some dexterity and i haven't found a need to do so.The tank on the hot water is large enough for a large pan of pasta, pot of tea or countless cups of coffee - I haven't found an issue with not enough water being available and it reheats quickly.In terms of my experiences with it, I have the following observations:1. The tap is I have chosen is 'Polished Chrome', as expected it is a magnet for water marks - but is easily cleaned.2. The tank has a thermostat, I have it set to Max to get the water a nearly boiling point (~97) which is hot enough for a good pot of tea or cup of coffee3. The flow rate of the steaming hot water isn't fast, but quick enough to make a cup of coffee quickly enough. When filling a tea pot or saucepan, it can take some time.4. The tank can be heard heating the water from time to time, it sounds a little like a kettle boiling but not as loud as it is well insulated and within the cupboard.5. Only the steaming hot water is filtered, the regular hot and cold isn't filtered.6. The steaming hot water tap has a safety feature which required it to be pushed down and turned simultaneously, you will need to explain this to new users as it isn't obvious.7. Whilst the steam hot water tap cannot be left on (it is sprung to close when released), it doesn't always spring back closed fully and you may find it dribbles when the tank is refilling if you don't close it properly.8. The tank gets warm in the cupboard, but no where near hot enough to cause concern or injury.

After liaising with the seller, they have now dispatched the missing item, and Hopefully should receive it shortly.

Came quickly and all good.Installed yesterday.Working nicely today.I hope they make one in the future that is a 4 in 1 (IE. filters cold water too)Only wonder to me is why the fitting instructions also go through installing a replacement tank!Hopefully it will last many years before that is required ;-)

Easy to install and very convenient.Instant hot water for drinks is great as well as making rice, pasta etc so muck faster to cook as not having wait till the water comes to the boil on the stove.Love this device. Sould have got one sooner.

This does not include the tank as advertised. Had this delivered twice as Amazon thought it was a delivery error, but still no look. Taken over £700 from my account before I’d received what I’ve paid for but now taking their time to refund. Their delivery network has picked it up, which they’ve acknowledged but if that fails to return to Amazon I’m left out of pocket. In summary don’t risk it. They said they’d take the product down and fix it but it’s still live and wrong.It’s also seems to take Amazon an age to refund the item even after they’ve confirmed they have it back.

The tap looks and feels very robust. I have been using it for 6 months and have not yet had an issue with the tank not being big enough to hold enough boiling water for our needs (family of 4). The safety function prevents unintended use of the boiling water tap. Excellent product

Installed in September but by Novemeber the safety feature for the heated water tap had failed. (The tap is supposed to spring closed on release to prevent scolding by the nearly boiling water but it stayed open). However, a call to the service centre and they have promised to order another and replace under guarantee so fingers crossed. Update, 6/12/12 - new tap fitted free of charge and working fine so far.

Great price and delivery was fast too (a little too quick! ;-) )Just got round to fitting it.....and it's awesome!. So nice not to have to wait for the kettle to boil and it's filtered water too. So we can get rid of our water filter jug and kettle to free up some much needed worktop space!.Awesome!.
