Ravenheat, are they still as c**p as they always were?

Hi guys
I have 5 flats to do and have the opportunity of some new Ravenheat boilers at a bankruptcy sale, could save myself £2500, is it worth the risk?

Just a note the Ravenheats boilers are CSI 85 AAA 780 series and there are some ferroli boilers too

Avoid the ferroli boilers.

I see a number of Ravenheats during gas checks and they all seem to be running ok.
Ravenheat got a bad name when they were being sold through B&Q.
Any cowboy was throwing them on the wall and as a result of the bad
installs the boilers performed badly. Quality brass components in them
not like some of the plastic of some "premium" brands.

Last I spoke with Ravenheat, call was answered quite quickly, must faster than 'premium' brands helplines.

Thanks for the replies, I will see what they go for on Wednesday

They come with a 3 year warranty , which can be extended to 5 years for a 1 off payment of £150 inclusive of vat I think ???
