Ravenheat CSI 85AAA (T)-780 Series Cond Combi

Can anyone give me any info on this boiler please, is it a good buy, are there any problems with it?

Thanks

We call them ravenheap!!!!! Personally wouldn't touch one unless am repairing it!!! always plenty of ravenheaps to repair!!! it uses a recuperator which tend to leak!!!!

They are variously known on these forums as Ravenheap, Ravenshite, Ravenheapofshite.....I think you get the picture. They're the favourite boilers of boiler repair men, as they give them quite a lot of work.

If you're looking at getting a combi, get yourself an Intergas Combi Compact HRE, excellent boiler with very few moving parts and therefore very little to go wrong, five year warranty when installed by a registered installer, with a ten year warranty on the heat exchanger. The CCHRE 28/24 is closest in spec to the 'heap, or if you want a bit more power go for the 36/30

Many thanks.

It certainly looks the part, thinner than most too, I like the reviews on it, one question, what power output or liters per second will I need for a good hot shower?
