One thought I have a Kerig coffee maker and use it for instant hot water. I think I would go for the instant hot water.

Unless there is Kerig in your future.

If you get a Kerig, when it breaks, you don't have an extra hole in your granite. The insta hot does not last long, so unless you want to replace it often, I would go with the soap dispenser.

When we moved into our new/old house, I temporarily lost my soap dispenser because the existing faucet had a plate covering the extra holes in the sink. Now that I have switched the faucet to the Kohler Simplice, I once again had room for a soap dispenser. DH installed the Never MT when he installed the new faucet and soap dispenser. Ahh, heaven. I never have to go searching for the dish soap, and the dispenser is long enough that it squirts right into the middle of the sink for quick and easy clean-up. LOVE it.

I would go with a soap dispenser. I use mine for my hands and use it constantly.

I have both and like both very much. Why wouldn't you put them in? If you have no real pressing reason not to then I would do both.

I would definitely do the soap dispenser; I don't have insta-hot because I don't see the need.

As for resale, I would not worry about putting in at least the soap dispenser (and I think the hole could be used forinsta-hot too).

Keep in mind, though, that you can always drill a hole later (or so could the future buyer).

I have both, and vote for the Insta-hot. I use it for warming mugs, coffee, tea, soaking dirty pots, dampening miracle cloths for cleaning, jello, etc. It gets used most for cleaning and soaking. The holes for both are standard sized.

I have soap dispensers at both sinks but chose to not have an intsa-hot. I had one at my old home and only used it for warming thermoses, etc. I like boiling hot water for tea and my in-sink-erator could only get up to 190 degrees. I bought an electric kettle and was much happier with that because it would boil 1 cup in about 1 minute--it was even faster than my microwave.

I agree that it probably does not matter for resale.

The Insinkerators, at least the ones above the least expensive one, which is the model "hot1", heat water to 200 degrees if you want. They come preset for 190, I believe, but that is adjustable. Only the "Hot1" is limited to 190 degrees. Some other brands only go to 190, I think maybe the Costco one, but you would have to check it out. Every other ISE goes to 200 degrees. I would make sure to buy one that goes all the way to 200 degrees.

I would do both. I plan to use my soap dispenser for hand soap, not dish soap, because I wash my hands often when cooking and when coming in from working outside. I don't do many dishes by hand anymore, they go into the dishwasher.

I have both, and would vote to install both! If I had to pick, it would be the insta-hot.

I am not planning an insta-hot because I am afraid it would become unusable rather quickly. The water here has a lot of lime. Mineral deposits doom my kitchen faucet every couple of years, and it has to be replaced. We have soft water, however the kitchen sink cold water is unsoftened. I would not want to use softened hot water for drinking or cooking. My plan is to have a dedicated faucet with unsoftened cold water only in my new kitchen, and a really nice faucet for the clean-up sink that will last awhile.
