Luckily I've never had to touch one. The council I worked at never had any and BG don't let me touch them 🙂
heard something about the baffles be a nightmare. And all the obvious flue issues. From what I can gather they should have never been allowed on the market.

I tried that but they were so welded in place the hook kept pulling straight. Got Most out in the end but pulled a hole in the hex/water jacket. Nightmare boiler.
Ferolli . Biassi . Chaffetaux et muarry . Ariston . Heatline .
Having said all that they do create a market for breakdowns down side is ive never been in a house with any of the above where my feet dont stick to the carpet or id considrr drinking the tea

Jaguar. Biggest heap of junk ever to come on the market.
I notice when I rang ideal last it said do you require technical for Keston or Ideal, so would not surprise me if Keston are rubbish too if ideal have anything to do with it!
Any saunier duval boilers or ariston or sime...

I remember fitting them for Southampton council, we were calling them out straight after installs for faults!
before I get fonged domestic buderus not the commercial stuff
they wouldn't come out to us when I commissioned 40 in Portsmouth they sent an incredibly detailed manual which you had to follow before they would come out one day I will scan the manual and convert it to pdf it would do a service to new engineers as it is very detailed
The boiler case on that is the worst ever, all you have to do is look at it and it falls into 4 pieces.
