I've fitted 6/7 not had a problem.
A jig is only good when you haven't got a lot of room underneath otherwise it doesnt make life too difficult.
The purge mode is no different to the likes of the vaillant. Gives you a few minutes to tidy up or cement up the flue etc.
Not a big fan of the filling loops not because they are a faf as they are easier to fit than the old ones. But I liked to leave it filling and have a run round just to check for leaks. It is good for customers though as it's pretty much fool proof for them.
All manufacturers have problems with new boilers I've had Worcester vaillant viessman and ideal all come faulty out of the box. Phone them up and they will come out next day. It's no different to us really we have problems it's how we deal with them that sets us apart from the others.

Worked quite well in the end bud easy to set up and quiet in operation connected a Honeywell T4 wireless programmable thermostat for boiler plus, for the money theres worse out there. Cheers kop
They seem good value for money
Might try one over a logic
I had problems with 2 baxi intecs I fitted and i have worked on a loads more they always seem to play up that's what put me off the 600 series they are very similar inside , I have still been fitting the duo - tec and platinum as my Landlord type boiler but you have to move with the times I guess and you dont know what they are like till you try one problems out the box are never a good start , on the plus side it's got a metal casing time will tell Scott . Cheers kop
I’ve just switched from ideal to Baxi. Quoted my first one yesterday.
Stainless Heat exchanger over the ideals aluminium ? At a guess and a bit cheaper .
Had my first leaking one a few back
I fitted the boiler 6 years ago
Have told them to get a fixed price repair
Another 600 fitted this week suited the design of the new kitchen going in shortly as it will be full height wall cupboards , I will tidy up the condense and prv when the kitchen is stripped no issues this time . Cheers kop
Alot if plumbs own stuff is made by the big boys its just debranded.
Think their rads if i recall are myson
I dont fit baxi anymore after speaking to one of their engineer who said off the record they are crap. The other reason i got fed up with the pin on the diverters leaking through. One of them caused a major problem with the electric garage door.
No mate you get a add on plastic spaced clip bar but I didn't use it this time as had a vertical flue so no worries failing the flue with the pipework
On a Friday aswell
I assumed pipes in talon clips would be too big for the void behind the boiler.
Have you fit the in flue weather comp on any?
I cant disagree mate I have had diverter issues but on the whole all within warranty and minor inconvenience to me getting the system clean a decent mag filter and good quality inhibitor is the best defence I find. Kop
