Amazing Support Service

I ordered a pack of "3 Carbon Pure Water Filters for Instant Boiling Water Taps" with no delivery charge - so they would arrive in about 3 days. Unfortunately, I then realised that I would not be at home for the delivery!
So I called up and spoke to a very helpful support man at Fohen and he immediately arranged for the delivery to be changed to the next day - at no additional charge.
Amazing service!

I bought this tap last December it worked until the beginning of February and Fohens have ignored me totally since with the exception of preforming spurious tests which have proven to be futile in getting this tap working. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY….

Ismail was very helpful & replied instantly over email, and also called to give instructions for a replacement of a part damaged by pet when I asked. The whole thing was resolved within a couple of days.

The tap itself works great and have had no issues with it for 1+ years until this damage. The damage itself wasn’t caused by Fohen but still when I contacted them they promptly provided a replacement for free by post for the damaged part which was great.

This company used to have the worst customer service I have ever seen, and it took such a long time to get our correct tap from them when we ordered it and literally hours on the phone trying to get it sorted (this happened over a year ago) which is why it’s still just a 4* review overall. But recent experience has been positive and they seem to have completely turned things around under new ownership so now I would recommend them.

I recently bought taps from Fohen

I recently bought taps from Fohen, and I can confidently say they live up to their reputation as Britain’s best boiling taps. The quality is outstanding sleek design, reliable performance, and they’ve made a real difference in my kitchen.

What really impressed me, though, is the service. Despite the business going through a transition, the team behind Fohen were quick to respond to any questions I had and made sure everything went smoothly. It’s clear the new owners are genuinely committed to top notch customer care and value.

If you’re on the fence, don’t beFohen delivers both premium products and a customer-first experience. Highly recommend!
