Anyone got one of these? They seem to be a lot cheaper than the others,
and I'm wondering if there's a reason for that.

Looking to use it with this boiler

The instructions look simple enough (page 25) but the boiler has a built
in timer already which I guess is wired the same way as an external
control, and can simply be disconnected.
Thanks for any advice

I have a different model of non-wireless Tower brand stat and it definitely at
the budget end in terms of intuitive use and temperature switching with a
less than precise changeover leading to cold and hot swings (flushes?).

It's an area where I'd be inclined to spend a bit more and something like a
Honeywell model instead. It'll be very annoying if it doesn't work as you
want it to.

Actually a stat without a timer would be favourite for this application,
and the simpler the better. I just know the houseowner won't read the
manual, and she has a timer on the boiler already

If it was for your own house then I'd say an electronically timed stat would
be worth the hassle, although the Tower is basic it does let you just set
the temp back a bit during the 'off' periods so that if it gets really cold
during the day or overnight you can maintain some sort of base heat. If it's
for a punter or the technology wary then it's up to you.
