The 28kw combi has a small
amount of storage; the practical DHW
performance is the best I have come
across from a 28kw combi. Of course
it's only a shaddow of the 40kw
Worcester condensing combi, but it's a
close second, though maybe ahead in
the repair situation.

What's the prices these days? And who is a big stocker? Parts should become
easy as they are merging into Bosch. I fear they may drop these gas boilers
in favour of the Worcester range. If they do, vested interest triumphs
over superior design and make yet again.

There are lots of small makers turning out boilers these days, even Johnson
& Starley have a boiler range now.

One gripe, I had to buy sensetive
equipment (Kane 400) just to comission
this boiler properly. That bugged me,
but that's the future, we'll be
required to set up gas and air ratios
by quite a few more manufacturers
in the days ahead.

For DIY I try to avoid recommending these types of boilers simply because of
the commisioning equipment and knowledge required.
