combi boilers choice

[drainrod]

please can anyone point me in direction whats best buy ?
baxi platinum 40kw or ideal vogue max 40 kw

 

[EvilDrPorkChop]

Neither. Take a look at Vaillant.

I'm sure someone will be along to disagree However the amount of issues I come across with Baxi and Ideal I wouldn't be having either of them by choice.

Or Glowworm energy rebadged Vaillant with minimal changes

 

[Aire]

Out of those 2 I'd go with the baxi. But I would also agree with above and go with a vaillant too.

What do you want from it?
Quiet
Efficient
Cheap to repair
No frills or lots of technology

 

[ShaunCorbs]

What’s with the 40kw ?

What’s the demand / outlets

 

[townfanjon]

Out of the pair , vogue.
Personally I wouldnt fit , either go Viessmann from our European brothers

 

[Old Account]

Seems anlittle high on output what’s the requirement? If I was you I’d look into Vaillant or viessmann but depends on budget and if it’s for own use or rented property

The baxi platinum is a great boiler ones I fitted years ago are still like new.

Not a big fan of ideal. Vaillant I had so many problems with the pumps packing up diverter leaking and pressure sensors playing up that I got put off them and tried baxi been with them ever since.

It is each to their own though ask 10 people get all sorts of answers.

What's your flow rate like as a lot of people ask me for a 40kw but they only have the flow rate for a 33kw.

Let's be honest here it wont matter what brand you go for they all fall to bits with aplomb.

Imho you need to have it installed as per manufactures requirements otherwise you wont get a warranty or guarantee. That's the most important thing is how good your installer is.

For what it's worth having been an owner of various boilers over the years the worst I have had is a Worcester and the best I've had is the universally panned Alpha
