### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    10/10 quality!
  

*by C***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 December 2020*

Ignore the kitchen, its only half done! But this tap is amazing. It's been installed a few days and it is the most amazing quality, water from the filter tastes completely different to how it does from the actual tap so not sure what other reviews are talking about. The filter itself is about 6 inches tall, quite bulky, but I love the look of it, it's not a little petite looking thing, it's quite 'spaceship' looking, so to speak. Very modern.. I'm so happy with this tap, just gutted it's now 100 quid less hahaha

    This tap doesn't filter water like it says on the tin.
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 February 2020*

This is undoubtedly a well made well packaged tap, that we bought after doing extensive research to replace our old tap and under sink water filter system. The cartridge filter system sounds fantastic and whilst it perhaps (I don't know) filters out certain impurities or whatever from normal perfectly safe drinking water, it immediately caused our kettle to start clogging up with scale and leaving horrible residues in drinks of tea or coffee (1st photo attached). My family immediately started to complain about the horrible taste of the water, together with the horrible residue in tea/coffee cups, so my wife reverted to buying bottled water to use as we tried to sort the issue. We contacted Franke, who said they had never had any complaint with this new tap, and asked us to send water samples which we did, as we were happy to assist. Franke appeared to try to help, but they were slow in their responses, and started emails with "We are sorry for the delay" etc.. We tried replacement cartridges, kindly supplied by Franke to no avail. We felt we had an obligation to return this tap, as Franke stated they could not sort the issue quickly and we might have to cut our losses as it were. So reluctantly but decisively (as we had to conclude the matter), carefully disconnected the tap and repackaged it respectfully and properly with all components and returned it to Amazon, with the statement in the returns box that we were returning the product due to poor performance. Amazon duly refunded us fully, which was correct and fair action as this tap does not do what it says it will do. We were obviously out of pocket for plumbing costs.We reconnected our old tap and water filter system and our drinking water quality improved immediately. Our kettle was still slightly "scaled up" from the Franke system water, but our coffee/tea dross in cups changed significantly on the first cup (2nd photo attached), and has been perfect ever since. Bottled water purchases stopped immediately.We have sent pictures of our old tap and connection system to Franke (that has been reinstalled) and are waiting to here from them as to what new 3 port taps we could use from them to incorporate our old, fantastic, water filter system. We are also still waiting to hear from Franke as to the water samples that they requested we send to them for analysis.In conclusion, I could not recommend this tap to anyone as, despite clearly been a very well made luxury product, it does not perform as expected. My daughter has a Brita water filter system that cost £20 and works simply and effectively for her at University - she has no kettle scale build up and her water tastes fine - I mention this as an example of a cheap and simple, but yet very effective product that works well. As such one would assume that this marvellous Swiss made state of the art (as implied in Franke's sales information) water filter system would be superb, but sadly in our experience it was not. Perhaps it was simply too good to be true! This review is sent as honest information to anyone who wishes to consider buying this product. I believe that Franke have more work to do on this system, and if they could perfect it I would consider buying this tap again, but only on a sale and return basis, as I like the design, but would not want the hassle again or the plumbing expense if it did not perform. Ideally I would like Franke to say, "We've got an improved filter and would like to send our plumber to install it on a sale or return basis" - obviously that is not going to happen! No doubt we will source a new 3 way tap from somewhere and move on!!

    It looks good and water tests good!
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 November 2020*

It is now about 1 month we had this water tap in our kitchen and we couldn't be happier. It does look really stylish and modern, it is practical and easy to use. Only small complain is that the the ooze should come down a bit lower to avoid so much splashing! But this is a real minor thing. But the best part is actually the filtered water, which has finally given our water a natural good test. We live in a hard water zone, and this tap  had sorted the problem. We have already bought new filters, even if this one should last between 4 to 6  months. Very pleased and I would strongly recommend it.PS: we actually bought the tap at an exceptional sale price with Amazon, so thanks!
