I have a Microgenus, the more powerful model. So far it is fine after
20
months. A bit noisy, but it is in a solid cupboard in the bathroom
so
noise
is not an issue.
So do you think it's noisy *because* it's in a cupboard? Noise I don't
need
as I'm often sitting next to it.
Look at the Worcester-Bosch Junior combi. That has a v small casing
too
and
v simple inside with no 3-way valve. I would probably go for the
Junior
if
buying today
Better than the cdi range then?

I think so. A brand new design, until next year when all will have to be
condensing boilers.

Not so

Not every situation can be fitted with a condensing boiler due to
nuiscance
pluming (flats, etc) - so a choice will still be available (B rated).

Learnt that yesterday at a Corgi seminar.. (I previously thought as you
did)

The minimum is 86%. Band B is from 86% to 90%. All boilers in band B are
condensing boilers. No non-condensing boiler is permitted next year.
