Average middle of the road boiler, crappy flow rate, physically bigger than a lot of its counterparts, absolutely nothing special

NB if this board is going to change very mild adjectives like cr@ppy to somthing else, the least it can do is spell them right - I mean what does "rubishy" mean? is it russian?

he he, I think a lot of people regard baxi / potterton as a quality manufacturer, have they ever seen a baxi brazilia? now there's a fine product

Riiiiggghht... getting the feeling there are better alternatives out there...! Whats recommended instead, Worcester-Bosch, Vaillant.....?

Regarding the flow rate though, the Baxi seems marginally higher than a WB24cdi...?

Thanks again,

Baz

Spend the £50 extra and get the 105e for the better flow rate. Always found the baxi to be better than the worcester especially when another tap is turned on .Also far cheaper to repair if they go wrong which is seldom and found them far more reliable than nore expensive worcesters. Pipework can also be hidden behind the boiler so if its on show it looks a lot nicer
