Re: Which is the better of the 2
Just explain he facts,I explain only reason so cheap,is because no one will buy them,would not think a l/l will keep the 5 year cover valid anyway,paying for yearly services ect
Maybe I am a good salesman but think could talk any one out of picking boilers mentioned
ps can I interest you in some designer watches, guaranteed till cheque clears

Re: Which is the better of the 2
spot on puddle,i went down this road with ariston on 5 year warranteys with there aco tat,they were writing to the custard after 3 years trying to get a extra £200 out of them,and trying to kick all repairs out on crappy reasons,but some folk want 5 year s piece of mind so went with the baxi platinum and tbh some of those are now 4 year old and the ones that have played up albeit silly things prv,s, ex vessels etc BAXI have been there ,next day problems sorted no hassle at all cracking service from heat team

Re: Which is the better of the 2
we would all like to fit premiuim boilers unfortunatlry in the real world cost is a factor, ill fit anything the customer wants its there money to spend as they choose
how many plumbers are driving rolls royces, not many ,as we also choose our products partly based on cost

Re: Which is the better of the 2
could always try a broag remeha avanta plus 24c or 28c fairly simple and afterservice is good, 5 year warranty. only trouble is they are now in with baxi so may deteriorate in quality and aftersales.
