Hi,

I am about to have a new heating system installed in my house. The
choice of boilers seem to come down to either a Worcester-Bosch
Highflow 400 or a Vokera Linea Max. As both of these boilers are
about the same price and have very similar specifications is there
much to choose between them? I would be interested in any independent
reliability surveys or comparative maintenance costs.

I know neither of these boilers are condensing but I can't find a
similar condensing boiler and also the vent will be very close to a
boundry so a plume might be unpopular with the neighbours.

TIA, W.

I did a Google and here is a report from a user, Note the bath filling
performance.


Er, yes. All subjective opinions with not a single quantifiable statement.
For example:

"We've got a big single bath, nearly a double" - No indication of actual
capacity.

"Fills that without any problems" - no reference to water temperature,
volume or time to fill.

"Certainly doesn't run out of hot water but takes quit a while to fill
purely because of its size." - again no reference to volume, temperature or
time taken.

So all you've provided is a set of statements from one person who is happy
with their installation, but that provide no means for anyone to make a
valid comparison against alternatives. Those statements are the sort of
meaningless endorsements found in marketing brochures, not quantifiable
metrics.

Cheers
Clive
