Rank #5 in Best Kitchen Taps 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Numbers Clash
FORIOUS Spring Kitchen Tap, Polished Chrome
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The FORIOUS Kitchen Tap is the spring-coil, commercial-style mixer at number 5 in this guide: a single-hole, deck-mounted tap with one lever, a 360-degree swivel spout and a two-mode spray head, listed at £38.35. It carries 4.3 out of 5 from 11,164 ratings, and its Best Sellers Rank line reads '3,369 in DIY & Tools ... 1 in Bar Taps'.
Two things on this listing do not line up with each other. The product title calls the finish 'Polished Chrome', while the first bullet describes a 'stainless steel finish' — one tap, two finishes, in the same listing. And the rank slot it claims to lead is not the category it is sold in: the item-type field reads 'Kitchen Sink Taps', and both the recommended use and the room type are 'Kitchen'. The rating breakdown bars also add up to exactly 100 against 11,164 ratings, so they are percentages rather than counts. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it appears — not from a tap we bought or tested.
How those 11,164 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“As a plumber who can no longer do the trade I asked my 13 year old son if he would fit these new taps with my support telling him how and what to do. I must say I did have my doubts getting a 13 nearly 14 year old teenager to have a go a this. The hardest part was getting the old taps out as they had been in place for 20+ years. Once they were out my son had no issue fitting the new taps. The sink was in place so he was working in a cupboard on his back. Once installed the tightening system was EXCELLENT and easy to tighten. He turned the water on and was beaming when there were no leaks and he turned the tap on and water flowed with no issues. The different flow is great and the flow rate is great. Good instructions in the box and the tails from the tap to the isolation valves are a good length. All in all a great tap a a very good price. Will update if there are any issues. A+ so far”
Verified purchase“From the boxing to the instructions & fittings this is a quality product & at a bargain price but with a luxury finish! There is a plastic thick spacer which is designed to create a stable & solid fit with NO WOBBLE on thin stainless steel hole positions - well thought out & no regrets - just satisfaction”
