Forgetting those with just a few reviews it appears that virtually all
the boilers mentioned are more than a little unreliable.

Take into consideration that if your boiler is working ok, your probably
not going to write a review. The ones likely to write are the folk who
have had problems and want the world to know about it.



Of course. You have a car for 10 years. Now it breaks down one night and
causes you some inconvenience.

When anyone asks you about that car what do you remember?, that one time
in 10 years that it broke down, or the 9 years 364 days that it started
ands ran fine and did what you required of it;...


Worth noting that their "top five" are a Vaillant and two Worcesters,
exactly what the experts in this group say. (The other two look like
adverts).


I'd rather trust Geoff Raden's opinion anyday rather than some anonymous
website;!..
