    A glass of red and a book in the bath is my favourite way to relax.

    We have them in our offices & I most new offices want them fitted as a time saver, the Zip Tap Hydrotap seems popular: useful if you use the kettle a lot if you get the combined hot & filtered / chilled water one it will have use in the summer.
    Remember they take space below the unit : as that is where the gubbins go, I recommend fitting a proper waste pipe as opposed to a drip tray that needs emptying

    We got one 4 years ago – best kitchen purchase ever

    But I can use a lightswitch and boil a kettle so not sure of the value.
    One could say the same kind of thing about electric kettles which turn off once they're boiled "I can just turn the hob off" but they are convenient - so I guess it's little things here and there rather than a revolution.

    Looks useful will depend on the quality of the vino mind you.
