Good price, thanks for posting. Heat! However, go for the Nest (deal on now) or even better Tado thermostat instead...

This is an amazing price for this product. If I hadn't already got the Batista Express I would be buying. Anyone voting this cold is mad.

Had a quick look and it looks like it doesnt :( Plus i'd need a grinder. Oh well, back to fingers crossed for a deal on the Touch.

Does this have auto milk frothing like the Barista/Oracle Touch? Been sold on the Sage machines since I tried those two in JL, not only do they produce decent microfilm, but manage to do it automatically. Having tried lots of SOHO machines, none have come close in terms of creating micro foam (manual or automatic).

This is a £1k+ machine. There's a lot of cash it's waiting for and got, when it was last at this price.

Are these better then the all in ones ?

BOXT = £2,145 Warmzilla = £1,999 Ebay = £1,423 Local = £1,350 They simply give the job to the local man and add a hefty mark up. It’s better to support your local plumber if he’s competitive.

Hey all. I've expired this now. Spoke with the business and they confirmed that the Nest is only valid on a single boiler and one which is over £4400 (confused) I explained that it would be better if they removed the location of the link away from those it does not apply to. Sorry if any of you were inconvenienced by this.

I've had a Heatline Capriz installed for around 4 years now... my water is also hot and the boiler makes no noise :D

Terrible deal

Great service

I believe the Grohe 4 Litre mono tap is still at £500 on the website

I wish I had ordered this, seems to me that it was a mis-price as it is now £1552

How long does this take to get up to boiling water from the point that it is first connected to the electrical supply? If it had been switched off for a week would it be ready in 5minutes?

Well it goes without saying that you dont wash your hands for 20seconds under this hot tap.... But anyway there are many forms of heaters that are going to produce dangerously hot water, it's up to the user to make they are installed appropriately

Is it just me, to think these are potentially dangerous, an accident waiting to happen?

Between last radiator and boiler. This should be last thing before water returns to boiler for best efficiency.

I have no idea what this is or does but feel I should buy it :) to connect between the boiler before the first radiator?

Don't forget you need a gas fit registered engineer, full local planning permission and change of use if you beleve some mad folk on here.

In-line installation - In just two minutes, yer right, it takes more than that to drain down the system

I would think so

How do WB and Baxi compare to Vailant, e.g. the Ecotec Plus variants?

The point has obviously gone right over your head, Chap.....which is handy because you've made yourself look like an idiot and saved me the time (y)

Worcester give by far the best warranty, just tell them its been serviced, no proof required, comprehensive warranty covers damage caused by poor installation and dirty system water where they have not been cleaned before new boiler has been fitted.

Of course not, there's this thing called supply and demand; you should probably look that up and see how it works. You asked me how I would power an electric boiler, and I gave you a very simple answer. Not sure what your issue is, are you a flat earther by any chance?

And how much demand does Good Energy fulfil? Do you think their renewable energy could meet the demand of every boiler in the UK? Durrrr doesn't even cover it!

Landlords/ budget boiler. Only done 2 etec 28's (while back so can't remember but think they are 7 year warranty?) Not had any bother with either of them and we ain't been back to service them so not sure if they are being done. We do the annual cp12 inspection so I know are both running well though.

Any experience with Alpha? Specifically Alpha Etec 33? I’m having one fitted tomorrow hence the question.. thanks

Thanks 🤝

Honestly, ive never known of a problem with mixing inhibitors but I really wouldn't advise it. If at all possible, try drain the system and start afresh. Then you know what is in and how much.

Brilliant info thanks very much. Would help to know what was put in by installer, no sticker or anything. I found there was no universal kit like you said online only specific products and different colour codes for samples, etc. Ridiculous prices too. I'll take your advice and top up each two years. Good to know you can not overdose at all. So different brands of inhibitor are okay to mix if you don't know what's in the system?

I used mine for about three years for green tea. It started to develop limescale which I couldn’t get rid off so stopped using it. Enjoyed it while it lasted though. A few things to note that this kettle doesn’t get to boiling temperatures but gets hot enough (80-90 degrees) and it dispenses enough water for a regular normal cup size. It does boils faster for one cup compared to a normal kettle. It’s probably slightly faster when doing two cups. Hope this helps someone!

Need to say it right.... "Wogdin" (at least it used to be in my days, but that was almost 40 years ago)

I got a £2.99 kettle from Asda, job done

You don’t need this if you have a pod coffee machine, as they can dispense hot water

Thats true, i had one its ok for instant coffee but the water just doesn't get hot enough for tea.

We are baxi approved installers and it used to be we could get longer warranties but dont thinknits the case anymore. Aslong as it is registered by a gas safe engineer and registered through baxi youll get the full thing Plus ive found them to be very good with coming out to warranty call outs, never had them turn 1 down

I think the 'is A or B better for carbon emissions' is such a key question. Not just for boilers!! And we've got to be better at understanding this if we have a hope of avoiding pretty enormous sea level rise in the 21st century. In regards to this question though the answer seems to have been worked out pretty well here https://www.narecde.co.uk/heat-pumps-verses-gas-boilers-part-ii/#.XjfzlLenx-E I am seriously looking at a Heat Pump primarily to reduce co2 so this question is pivotal. If anybody wants to come back on the maths I'd be delighted!!!

(1) Actually electricity generation is already mostly low carbon (2) Heat pumps have a magnification effect that puts out much more heat than the power consumed

Heat pumps sounds nuts like you either dig two 30-40m pipes under ground and pump the water down and up for the heat pump to suck the warmth off or it draws in the air from outside. I have a heat pump dryer and it's fine but god it's slow I wouldn't want to wait 3 hours for a shower ><. Is it actually better than gas I mean that electric for the heat pump probably comes from a gas powered power plant so how is it any better?

Unlike some of the other Baxi range, Duo-tecs are decent boilers.

I fit 830 from £1900 depending on how clean the system. Also includes flue, thermostat, inhibitor, scale reducer, warranty registration and gas safe notification. They are really good boilers. Very compact yet quality components. It’s a new improved design. Duotec and platinum are very reliable quality made still running like a dream for more than 10 years. Baxi had some nightmare boilers recently. But this one not a bad one.

New stat, magnetic filter, chemical flush and this boiler depending on location I could get one of these fitted for about £1,800

I have no heating , needs a boiler and 8 rads to be fitted it’s in a empty house how much ? Approx with this boiler ???

Win some, you lose some. :) Same boiler deal posted, costing more, voted hot.

Without looking at your present setup. With extra materials flue , wireless thermostat , scale reducer + pipework etc. You will be looking at around the 2k + mark.

...probably something to do with the fact that gas installer do really know best about gas installations?

Come on wirdy...you gotta troll better than that... can't remember the last thermocouple I replaced.

A proper service by a rgi should include a burner clean & a visual check of the igniter & thermocouple. Just lobbing on the fga & kissing off these physical condition checks is laziness.

..at first glance it looks like the boiler comes with Vagina cleaner

I hope you live on your own

Interesting,thanks. I saw a couple of damaged box ones on ebay for £50ish but stuck with the Flomasta in the end. It's well made and caught loads of crap after just one day (with no flush chems in the system yet).

I don’t fit isolations unlike other filters you don’t take it apart to clean it out. With the boiler turned off, you remove the magnet allowing the debris to become free and fall to the bottom of the filter. Then open up the isolation for the water pressure to push out all the crap into a bucket.

FloMasta used to be my rapper name

But warranty cover without one will be affected.

That looks really good and a lot more compact than this one. I noticed it doesn't seem to have isolation valves on it, do you just fit your own either side or does it do something clever in the filter?

Sorry, one more question please. Boiler is going in a corner cupboard, do I need a rear flue, or is it possible to use a standard horizontal flue? Appreciate any help.

Which filter is Valllant brand ? Thanks

I'm Vaillant advanced installer. To get a 10 years warranty you'll need to get a vaillant magnet filter brand.

Hi there. If you get a baxi 800 you'll get a 10 years boiler it's will be up to 1k. Or Vaillant ecotec plus with 7-10 years warranty, which is around £1250 ‐ £1500 depending on input. Then installation will depend on location or swapping will be much cheaper. Let me know if I can help you more.

Finally bought the boiler. Can anyone tell me which, from the following magnaclean filters is better please :- micro compact micro compact 2, professional or prof 2? What's the difference? Would really appreciate any help. Thank you!

Was he trying to sell you a powerflush (lol) (lol)

From what I've read this is not standard, depends. In the case of Vaillant, only if installed by advanced fitter. Be happy to be informed otherwise. 🙏

Had my magnaclean for over three years. Annual service always sees a pint or so of gunk come out of it when flushed through :)

Hi. Thanks for tips. Great thread. What you recommend if your pipes go under the house with no drain access there. There will still be significant amount of water left? Multiple flushes? Read before of a water acidity testing solution. Could i use that to check?

If you can afford the space, is it better to get the 'non' compact?

Thank you bought one today excellent price for a new boiler

the 25i was what i had before and that was fine too. i have an electric shower and wouldn't run hot taps and the shower at the same time anyway. i rarely use the hot water taps, so the boiler is mainly doing the heating, and usually when i use the hot taps to do washing up, the heating is at a good temperature so the boiler isn't trying to heat at the same time, but i think my rads total 8k (3 big ones and 2 smaller ones), so the boiler has more power than it needs if you live in a 3 bed house with 4 or more people constantly running the hot tap and taking showers using the boiler, and having the heating on full blast it may not be the greatest, but if you have a 1 bed flat or a studio flat and live alone mainly and aren't going mad with hot water and heating the place like a sauna then this surely must be fine. certainly i'm happier with this setup than my greenstar, but it has a better thermostat that's got an online app so that makes most of a difference, but this one is quieter and cooler to the touch when it's running

But you can't just install a boiler by picking what you think is correct. You have to do calculations.

Possibly a good/reasonable deal if its found its way onto this site. However, the problem I often find is no matter what boiler you decide on buying it's finding a heating engineer/plumber that you then pay (What seems to be the standard labour charge) a £1,000 to fit it in a day... (shock) I chose the wrong career path! :( Anyone who's actually looked up the purchase cost of boilers will know what I mean!

He liked his own posts and created a new account to like his own posts. I was taking the **** by doing the same ;)

"What a sad pathetic freak you are!!!!" From the person how likes his own posts! (annoyed) Pot kettle black. (lol) Anyway back to the thread. Is 10l/m over 12l/m enough? Well my kitchen sink takes 10l to fill. So 60 sec to fill Vs 50 sec to fill. Is that 10 sec so important, probably not. Oh but what if you are filling a bath I hear you say. Not everyone had a bath. Oh but what about the shower I hear you say. Many people have electric showers. But,but,but. If 25kw combi boilers were not suitable for any situation do you think the likes of Vaillant, Baxi or Bosch would bother making them? (confused) Ps I'm not a heating engineer.

Not compared to a Powermaxx, they are atrocious. So badly made they no longer make boilers!

I have used boxt and got Worcester boiler. Workmanship and boiler. Both were perfect

No, ours is a Eurotec. Had no problems at all.

Got to better than British Gas screwing you for £3.5K or more.

That will be a vaillant Turbomax the newer ecotec nowhere near as good

Yeah it’s not the adjustment supposedly the heat the boiler retains and the fact it’s close to the sink in the kitchen.

Shocking. As it looks amazing. Was tempted at one point!!

Thanks for the info! By the way you should be able to adjust hot water temperature to whatever you are comfotable with very easily.

Ours was the life one, it’s quite new and the cables inside the boiler knock against the inside cover of the boiler if cable ties are the wrong way round. Took the guy about 15 minutes from getting here to fixing it, by covering the cables. Another hour and a half checking the installation and an issue with the gas pressure not linked to the boiler. to be honest, everyone we know has Worcester boilers but we are a bit disappointed with it, it’s louder than our old boiler and hot water is hot or scalding. https://www.worcester-bosch.co.uk/products/boilers/lifestyle

@Newbold .............Youre looking rather silly now (y)
