All but the vogue have aluminium heat exchangers. Cant adjust the gas ratio on the gas valve (you can physically but ideal do not provide the details for it to be set unlike worcester {dont get me wrong I hate worcesters}) flue is a bit flimsy the whole elbow on the standard horizontal is plastic but does the job.

The gas valve thing is a bit naf though you can't alter the gas valve on the wb cdi compact either.
Im taking this as a we the manufacturers wanna get a foot in through the door with our servicing plan
ideals are now out.

Vaillant. Join the 'Advance' scheme, offer longer warranties. Make sure system is A1 clean (thorough powerflush) before install though.

I like the logic + myself. Very simple boiler with long warranty and all the parts seem very easy to change and cheep compared to other manufacturers

baxi duotec hea,makes the logic look pants,7 year warranty as well
Easy peasy to work on too (I work on them every day). Sometimes a little on the large side is their only downfall in my opinion 🙂

I'd second that. Baxi convert. Only thing i don't like is the off centre flue but thats no big deal.
Well built, pretty reliable, miles of room to get inside.
Good boilers:smile:
Btw i was reading today ideal have now sold a million logics

think baxi said there on 7.5 million with the duotec

Thanks for all the replies, I'm left slightly undecided now. I have to say that I'm not that impressed with the duo tec, I'm pulling one out Monday that's only 6 years old that's got a hole in the main heat exchanger and leaking into the condense

Its the std giannoni heat exchanger as used in umpteen boilers. Not a baxi specific problem
Not common at all
quite like em good value for money, with the bundle deals theyre cheaper than a Baxi. that 7 year warrenty makes them an easy sell to a customer and i'd happily put one in my house if i owned one
only thing i've found so far is the flow sensor goes

I love the logics, great boiler and dead easy to install. Fitted my first vogue last week, again very simple to install and the 10 year warranty makes it an easy seller. only downfall of the vogue is the size, wouldn't be able to fit that in a kitchen cupboard, logics are however tiny

what are the t&c's for the ten year warranty? i herd that Ideal guarantees are covered by Homeserve, and we had and still have issues with them on the Vaillant guarantees from a few years ago.

The flow turbines tend to scale up a lot iv done 2 this week and one was only 15month old
Is it not covered under the warranty?
