What are you views on Viessman 100wb1c

[farout20]

My plumber has recommended the Viessman 100wb1c combination boiler. Having looked it up on some other review board, there seem to be a lot of complaints with a Viessman boiler as well as poor customer care from viessman. What are your thoughts on this boiler?

I used to fit a lot of Viessmanns, I moved away from them simply because of the price. I haven't had a single one break down, and still service most of them regularly, they're running perfectly and looking in great condition.

Positives are: stainless steel heat exchanger, easy to work on, decent components used throughout.
Negatives are: Expensive (inc. parts), a lot of plastic (although never had a problem), rubber hoses (again never had a problem but the potential is there).

If you're happy with the installer and he likes fitting them then go with it. A boilers reliability is down to a good installation, not brand reputation. I normally fit Ideal Logic+/independant + now for what it's worth.

I'm not keen on them, I used to work for a company that installed them and had a few problems with them and as above parts are pricey and had quite a few customers find the controls difficult to use (almost as bad as Vaillant controls lol)

I think for the money you can buy better.

But if you ask 10 different installers you will get all sorts of different answers.

I fit viessmanns and love them, so do my customers, customer care is spot on or at least it has been when I need them.it would take a lot for me to change manufacturers

Cheap and nasty at a stupidly inflated cost. Did you say worcester or visseman?
