Quooker CUBE vs Bottled Water: The Honest Comparison
More and more Belgian households are switching from bottled water to the Quooker CUBE. But is it really more economical? And what is the environmental impact? We'll calculate it.
The Cost of Bottled Water
An average Belgian household drinks around 3 litres of water per day (chilled or sparkling). Let's calculate:
- Sparkling water (e.g. Spa Reine Sparkling): ~€0.65 per litre
- Daily: 3L × €0.65 = €1.95 per day
- Annually: 365 × €1.95 = €712 per year
Plus the invisible costs: lugging, storage, plastic waste.
The Cost of the Quooker CUBE
- CUBE purchase price: €1,200 (one-off)
- CO₂ cylinders: ~€35 per cylinder (good for 60L) = ~€0.58/day
- Filter: ~€55 per year
- Electricity: ~€0.10 per day
- Annually: (€0.58 + €0.10) × 365 + €55 = ~€303 per year
The Savings
| Aspect | Bottled Water | Quooker CUBE |
|---|---|---|
| Annual costs | ~€712 | ~€303 |
| Annual savings | – | €409 |
| CUBE payback period | – | ~3 years |
| Plastic bottles/year | ~1,095 | 0 |
After 3 years, the CUBE has paid for itself. After that, you save €400+ each year.
The Environmental Impact
- 1,095 fewer plastic bottles per year per household
- Less transport: no lorries full of bottled water
- Lower CO₂ emissions: production and transport of bottles cause significant emissions
- Quooker cylinders are reusable: return empty cylinders for recycling
