Moral : Don't buy a Vaillant boiler, not only are they crap but
Vaillant have a predatory attitude towards customers' bank balances.
I'm really surprised - I've always regarded Vaillant is one of the best
manufacturers.
I've always found it to be so, as have others I know who have used them.
Of course, the satisfied customers rarely bother to post threads about how
happy they are.
When we had a new boiler three years ago it was a toss-up
between a Vaillant and a Worcester Bosch. The installer recommended WB -
mainly because, he said, they had a first class produce and excellent
after-sales service.
and, looking at the trade discounts I can get on both makes, a bigger
profit for the installer.

I think that perhaps you're in a different world? An installer who
is involved with brand-new systems?

I'm not an installer of any kind, but I do get trade discounts on
plumbing and looking at what I can get on the two makes, were I an
installer, there would be a financial incentive for me to push Worcester
over Vaillant.
