Poor Quality & Zero Support

Poor Quality & Zero Support

I bought the Verena 3 in 1 instant boiling water tap and it broke after just 14 months. We live in a soft water area, and the filters were changed exactly as recommended by the manufacturer. Despite this, the unit stopped working completely.

I didn’t buy the replacement filters directly from Verena, and because of that, they refused to even inspect the faulty device — no troubleshooting support, no goodwill gesture, nothing. The only option offered was to pay £140 for a replacement boiler, which is outrageous considering the short lifespan.

Extremely disappointed with both the product reliability and the lack of customer service. Would not recommend.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your boiling water system stopped heating after 14 months and that you were disappointed with the options provided by our support team.

We would like to clarify our policies regarding this situation:
• Warranty Framework: Our standard manufacturer's warranty provides a full 24-month coverage on both our tap fixtures and our boiler tanks. The only exceptions to this are our Olan and Saxan models, which feature a 24-month tap warranty and a 12-month boiler warranty. Because your Verana 3-in-1 system failed at 14 months, it was fully covered under our standard 24-month warranty terms.
• Filter Compatibility: To protect the sensitive heating elements inside the boiler, we require the use of verified, high-specification filtration. While we understand you replaced the filters on schedule, we cannot verify the filtration quality or scale-protection capabilities of third-party filters. This is why our team must confirm filter origin before processing a complimentary warranty replacement.
• Resolution Options: If a unit fails within its 24-month warranty period under normal and recommended usage, we replace the faulty component completely free of charge. We apologize if this was not communicated correctly by our team and that a replacement fee was incorrectly quoted.

We take your experience seriously and would welcome the opportunity to look into your case details to ensure this is resolved under your warranty terms.

Kind regards,
Verana

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - BAD PRODUCTS

AVOID! Horrible product and company.

I installed my boiling water tap 6 months ago, also just spent a fortune on this rip-off filters. The appliance is DEAD within 6 months of usage with a new filter in. It does not heat up. Stays at 26 degrees.

This is something that should easily last 5-10 years it hasnt lasted half of one year.

There are much better alternatives and happy to guide you elsewhere if you were considering Verana/Hanstrom. Extremely disappointed

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your boiling water tap experienced a heating issue after six months of use, and we understand your frustration given the recent filter replacement.

We would like to clarify a few points regarding your review:
• Warranty Coverage: Our products come with a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty. For our tap fixtures (excluding the Olan and Saxan variants), we provide a full 24-month warranty coverage. Because this issue occurred just six months into usage, it fell well within your protected warranty window.
• Temperature Issue: A system that stops heating and remains at room temperature (around 26 degrees) typically indicates a localized electrical fault, a tripped safety thermal cutout, or an internal sensor issue rather than a total product defect.
• Customer Support: Our standard policy for any technical fault occurring within the warranty period under normal use is to replace or repair the component completely free of charge.
While we note this review relates to a past experience, we always aim to ensure our technical policies and warranty protections are clearly communicated.

Kind regards,
Verana

Very Good Tap Build Quality and Finish

Really happy with this boiling tap. The brushed gold finish is high quality and the tap looks very smart. We chose this brand over others because of the various finishes they offer.

Really pleased with the design, quality & colour finish!

Hanstrom 4in1 HW Saxon Tap

Absolutely delighted with my Hanstrom 4-in-1 tap! The build quality is outstanding—solid, sleek, and clearly made to last. It looks great in the kitchen and feels premium in every way. The installation was surprisingly straightforward, with clear instructions that made fitting it quick and easy.

It’s amazing value for money considering the features and finish, especially compared to other brands. On top of that, the customer service from Hanstrom has been brilliant—friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.

Highly recommend this tap to anyone looking to upgrade. Worth every penny!

Lost in translation but hopefully resolved

Have a 4 in 1 hanstrom tap which has hardly been used. After using only a handful of times the hot water function stopped working. Ordered a new filter as I was told that may have caused the hot water malfunction due to limescale. Was sent the wrong filter but replacement was then sorted (although not received yet). The boiler issue is separate and again, a replacement one is now in the pipeline. Will see if it all works when the various items have arrived.

Great customer service

The boiling water tap (Hanstrom 3-in-1 Flex Touch Instant Boiling Water Tap - Brushed Gold) is an elegant addition to our kitchen. I am particularly impressed with the customer services team who are very responsive and helpful, finding an agreeable solution when we did have a minor problem. Thank you.

If I could award a minus score for both…

If I could award a minus score for both their products and for their awful customer services I would!!! Simply Awful!!!
Purchased an expensive boiling water tap and boiler for £550, August 2013, apparently it only has warranty for 12 months(tap is 2 years, so not very well displayed and have contacted trading standards as there practices are not up to standard and hope they are dealt with accordingly).. most other brands are at least 2 years, most are 5 years! They insisted i pay them for a new boiler and insisted it was out of warranty and we didn’t install filters on time which we did.
They could have handled this so much better but they barely tried and didn’t care, but I will be sharing this review on every platform i can find and will also be contacting my bank to see if chargeback is possible as this product is not fit for purpose. It is also spitting boiling water(when it did work) after the tap has been turned off which i believe is a health and safety issue and can cause bad burns.
I would mist definitely recommend purchasing elsewhere, i really am surprised at their trust pilot score, from my experience!

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience with our boiling water system and the frustration you encountered regarding the warranty and our customer support.

We would like to clarify a few points regarding your review:
• Warranty Policy: Our standard warranty terms—including the 12-month coverage on the digital boiler tank and 2 years on the tap fixture—are clearly outlined at the point of sale. These terms are fully compliant with UK consumer laws, though we understand your frustration when a component fails outside of this period.
• System Maintenance: Boiling water boilers require timely, regular filter changes to prevent limescale accumulation and mineral blockages. When filters are not replaced within the specified timeframe, limescale buildup quickly damages the internal heating elements, which is why a charge is applied for out-of-warranty replacements.
• Water Spitting: We do provide a flow optimizer to resolve issues of water spitting that may arise. The usual cause of this is filter changed not been made in the required timeframe, this results in what is called kettling.

Kind regards,
Verana

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Absolutely shocking product and customer service. Just a few months after the warranty ended, the boiler for the tap stopped working. Contacted customer services who offered to send a replacement boiler at a cost of £120. We followed the instructions and noticed that the fittings for the new boiler didn't match up with the tap meaning water was leaking from the pipes when the tap was on. Contacted customer services again who advised we had been sent an 'upgraded' boiler and advised that he would email a new set of instructions to connect the boiler to the tap. The pipes still wouldn't connect properly, so we contacted customer services again. The representative WhatsApp called us to see what was happening. It turns out that in following the instructions that had been sent with the new boiler, and not the ones that had been subsequently emailed once we discovered those instructions were incorrect, we had broken the boiler and voided the warranty!! We were then advised that we would have to pay another £90 for yet another boiler! When we challenged the rep on this, he stated that we were at fault for not realising the boiler was an upgrade and that the instructions that were sent with it were incorrect! That we should have contacted them as soon as we knew something was wrong, even though that's exactly what we did when we realised the connections didn't match. Although the Verana/Hanstrom tap is cheaper than competitors, its not worth the hassle. Please do not waste your time or money with this company.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with your replacement boiler installation and the frustration caused during your contact with our team.

We would like to clarify the details regarding this situation:
• Product Upgrades: To continuously improve product reliability, our hardware variants are periodically updated. When an upgraded component is supplied, it can feature different connection requirements from older models, which requires a specific installation sequence.
• Installation Protocols: Because mixed or incorrect connections can permanently damage pressurized water systems, it is vital to follow the updated engineering guidance precisely. Warranty coverage unfortunately cannot be extended to units that have sustained internal damage or structural stress during the fitting process.
• Technical Assistance: Our support team utilizes video and photo channels to accurately diagnose physical installation issues. We apologize if the explanation regarding the instructions or the subsequent replacement costs felt unhelpful, as our intent is always to find a functional technical solution.

We appreciate your feedback regarding our support communications and will use it to ensure instructions are clearer for future hardware transitions.

Kind regards,
Verana

Bought 3-in-1 handstrom tap

Bought 3-in-1 handstrom tap. Boiler started leaking after an unreasonable amount of time considering the amount you pay for the filters changes and to get it fitted. After a lot of pushing my end, they have agreed to replace the boiler. Hope the process will be stress free and no extra cost going forward. Thank you for sorting

Delighted with the customer care

Delighted with the customer care. I had a small issue with the boiler, and the team bent over backwards to help me. We love our hot water tap, it has been a game changer in our new kitchen, and everyone that visits goes home and buys this model. It's a fraction of the cost of competitors, and probably better. Thanks for your customer care guys.

Hanstrom 3 in 1 tap

I bought a Hanstrom 3 in 1 tap from Verana in January 2024. It worked well until a couple of weeks ago, when the boiler stopped working.
After a lengthy discussion with Verana they agreed to replace it free of charge.
The new boiler is an updated version, so hopefully this will last a reasonable length of time. It also seems to be quieter,
Top marks to Verana who replaced the boiler, eventually.
