This innovative kitchen tap provides not just your regular hot and cold water, but alsp filtered water and near-boiling water in an instant.
In this review, I'll be running you through the features and benefits of the InSinkErator 4N1 and assessing its overall performance.
The InSinkErator 4N1 is a sleek and stylish kitchen tap that will complement most modern kitchen designs.
It's available in a range of shapes and finishes, including chrome, brushed steel, and black, so you can choose the one that best matches your kitchen's décor.
The tap's spout is high and swivels, making it easy to fill pots, pans, and glasses of all sizes.
Installation is pretty straightforward, it can be retro-fitted to most sinks.
It simply requires a 35mm mounting hole and a minimum of 0.5 bar water pressure, so it should be compatible with most UK plumbing systems.
If you're replacing an existing tap, it's worth noting that you'll need a power source for the InSinkErator's heating tank, which can be located under the sink or nearby.
This is what hides in the cupboard below
The InSinkErator 4N1 tap has a compact, space-saving design that incorporates a heating tank and filtration system under the sink.
The heating tank has a capacity of 2.5 litres and can deliver up to 100 cups of near-boiling water per hour.
The InSinkErator 4N1 is a versatile kitchen tap that, as you may have guessed from the name, offers four functions in one.
You can use it to dispense hot, cold and filtered water, as well as near-boiling water at the touch of a button.
The near-boiling water function is perfect for making hot drinks, preparing food, and cleaning up.
The tap's near-boiling water function delivers water at a temperature of up to 99°C, which is hot enough to brew tea or coffee, blanch vegetables, or clean greasy pans.
It's much faster and easier than boiling a kettle, and it's - technically - more energy-efficient too, as you only heat the amount of water you need.
The near-boiling water function is also child-safe; the 4N1’s push-lever mechanism requires a deliberate action to dispense hot water, and the tap's spout has a non-slip handle that prevents accidental burns. The tap also has a safety shut-off feature that cuts off the hot water supply if the heating tank runs dry.
The tap's filtration system uses InSinkErator's Multistage filtration technology, which removes chlorine, lead, and other impurities from tap water. The filter cartridge also contains a layer of activated carbon, which improves the taste and odour of tap water.
The tap's filtered water cartridge needs to be replaced every six months or so, depending on usage.
Easy to use, 4N1’s lever handles are smooth and responsive, and the near-boiling water button is conveniently located on the side of the spout. The tap's flow rate is also impressive, delivering up to 2.5 litres of water per minute.
The InSinkErator 4N1 is a low-maintenance kitchen tap. The filter removes scale build up and therefore filter changes are critical for the optimum performance of the tank.
The tap's filtered water cartridge needs to be replaced periodically, as mentioned above.
InSinkErator provides a five-year warranty for the tap and a two-year warranty for the heating tank, which should provide peace of mind in case of any issues.
The cost of the 4N1 differs slightly depending on what finish you opt for; it’s £1,280 for the chrome, £1,391 for the stainless steel and £1,447 for the black.
So it’s not a cheap kitchen tap... but it's not just a tap either.
It's a multi-functional appliance that can save you time, energy, and money in the long run.
The tap's near-boiling water function alone could be worth the investment if you're a frequent hot drink maker or home cook.
The tap's filtered water function also helps to reduce the need for single-use plastic bottles and filters, which is better for the environment.
The InSinkErator 4N1 is an investment, but it's one that could pay off in terms of convenience, efficiency, and sustainability. If you're considering a kitchen renovation or upgrade, the InSinkErator 4N1 is worth a closer look.
Overall, it's a well-designed, easy-to-use kitchen tap that delivers on its promise of instant hot, cold, and filtered water, with the added bonus of near-boiling water on demand.
Whether you're looking to simplify your kitchen, save time and energy, or improve the taste and quality of your tap water, the InSinkErator 4N1 tap is definitely worth considering.
