A is for Energy Efficiency – The Quooker COMBI

As an industry, as we equip modern kitchens with innovative appliances, it is essential that we don’t forget to be energy efficient at all times.  That principle has always been at the heart of product development at Quooker.  From the very beginnings of the research and invention of the world’s first boiling water tap, we have been determined that the Quooker, as well as being the most helpful, versatile and most frequently used, will also be one of the most energy efficient appliances in the kitchen.

Our adherence to this guiding principle has certainly paid off in the light of the new EU rating of ‘Smaller electronic water heaters with a storage tank for kitchens.’ 

Since September 2015, every kitchen water heater sold in the EU must be energy rated on a scale of A to G, ‘A’ being the most efficient rating available.    

The Quooker COMBI, which falls into this category, was deemed to be the highest scoring kitchen boiler with a boiling water function and was awarded an ‘A’ rating. 

It was pleasing to see that, thanks to our adherence to providing highly energy efficient products throughout the history of the Quooker, there were no adjustment or upgrades needed for the COMBI to achieve an A rating; it already qualified because it had energy efficiency at the heart of its design.

Stored in the under sink cupboard, the Quooker COMBI tank supplies boiling water at a genuine 100°C, as well as hot water at temperatures of 50-65°C, straight from the cold water feed. Its high-vacuum insulation means that it is the most energy-efficient way available of supplying boiling and hot water to your kitchen.

Quooker has always believed convenience and luxury should not come at the expense of our planet, so every Quooker product is designed and engineered to be energy efficient, as well as safe and simple to use. They give owners access to genuine 100°C boiling water on demand, together with the peace of mind that they are being environmentally responsible. Further, a Quooker boiling water tap avoids water waste, by delivering only the quantity that is needed when it is needed.

If you would like to see the amazing, ‘A’ rated Quooker COMBI in action, pay a visit to one of our fabulous dealer partners.  They’ll be happy to explain that with the Quooker COMBI, ‘A’ is for energy efficiency.

A Golden Opportunity

The Quooker has always been as good as gold in terms of its engineering innovation, its reliability, energy efficiency and all round practicality.  So perhaps it isn’t surprising that for our very first Limited Edition Quooker Fusion, we chose nothing less than a 24 carat gold finish. 

The Golden One arrives at Daro

The gold finish bestows a crowning touch to a world leading product; which can boast both a great heritage as a genuine world first; and an even more promising future as King of the kitchen.

A beautifully designed Quooker tap that delivers cold, hot and 100ºC boiling water on demand is definitely something that is worth celebrating. The Quooker Fusion not only replaces the kitchen kettle, delivering 100ºC boiling water instantly from one tap conveniently and safely, it replaces the traditional mixer tap by delivering cold and hot water too.  Quooker boiling water taps have won many admirers all over the Europe, becoming an indispensible appliance in nearly 400,000 kitchens.

But as well as being firmly established in much of Europe, Quooker taps are now available in United Arab Emirates, taking brilliant tap design, engineering and innovation to a whole new world. 

No wonder we are celebrating with the limited edition Golden One. There are only 1,000 Golden One Quooker Fusions available in the world, just 250 of them are being sold in the UK.  Each one is individually numbered.  Each is also supplied with white gloves to ensure that the 24 carat gold finish stays perfect during delivery and installation.

Available as a Quooker Fusion Square or Fusion Round, the Golden One looks amazing in any kitchen because, as we know, gold goes with just about everything. We have also made a matching soap dispenser with the same 24 carat gold finish to complete the look of total splendour.

The luxurious limited edition Golden One is only available through our network of dealers and is a joyous declaration to the world that Quooker boiling water taps are quite simply, the best you can buy.

This is the perfect time to make a dramatic décor statement with our most exclusive Quooker Fusion. Like its chrome and brushed chrome stable mates, The Golden One is a highly versatile and practical kitchen appliance; a mixer-tap and instantaneous 100°C boiling water tap in one. 

There’s never been a better time to go for gold!

How an inspiration became your Quooker

Inspiration for the Quooker

In 1970, Henri “Han” Peteri was an engineer working on the development of instant soup for an international food company, when he realised that if you had to wait for a kettle to boil to make it, soup could never truly be instant. So he began to develop ideas for a tap that could instantly dispense plentiful, genuinely 100°C boiling water on demand. Han left his job, set up a workshop in his cellar and set about making his concept a reality.

 

Instant 100°C boiling water – a Quooker world first

After 3 years, Han had indeed developed a prototype tap that delivered 100°C instant boiling water, but it needed development and he had run out of money. But the friends and family who had bought his prototypes were so enthusiastic about the product that they told him they could no longer do without them. So he persevered and, in 1978, Han patented the world’s first tap that delivered instantaneous 100ºC boiling water.

It wasn't until Han’s son, Niels, joined the venture after graduating as a lawyer, that the idea was turned into a fully-fledged project and the Quooker was truly born. Five more years of hard work and development followed until in 1992, the first Quooker Basic went into production. In 1993, Han’s other son, Walter, joined the company and the product was launched commercially. As sales began to increase, the business grew, the range expanded and, in time, Quooker grew into the amazing company that it is today.  Quooker is still the innovative market leader, developing and selling a whole range of products based around the original inspiration of providing genuine 100°C instant boiling water. Forty years on, Quooker designs, develops, patents, manufactures, sells and installs what is, quite simply, the most efficient and reliable boiling water tap available today, and still the only one to guarantee a full 100ºC boiling water, to totally replace the kettle in any kitchen.

Why is Quooker still the best?

Two decades of development went into the first commercially available Quookers and we have never stopped improving and refining them.  Others have tried to imitate the Quooker, but no-one has managed to emulate our patented invention; the original and still the only true 100°C boiling water tap. The high quality materials – such as the surgical quality stainless steel from which we make our tanks – also make our 100°C boiling water taste great; far better than the  water from most kettles.
