Recomend a RF Digistat please

[vinnychase]

I fitted a Vaillant Ecotec at the weekend with the VRT 360 f (radio frequency Digistat). I found the whole interface very poor, too complicated, no burner on indicator, not labelled well.

Does anyone else agree? What RF programmable room stats do you recommend?

i think i fitted the Honeywell CM920 last month, i pressume the difference is one is a 7 day programmer the other a 5 and 2? But either way i found this one pretty easy to set up and navigate through. I will have a look at the Siemans one now.

Thanks

Just had a look at the Siemens website, What about the - Siemens RDJ10RF this looks as if it would be easy for customers to use. Anyone use these?

No comparison with the rev24, and you have to be pretty dim to find it hard to use it.

fair enough, with the vaillant it wasn't that i couldn't use it. However i didn't find it simple or clear to use. Also i have to think of some of the older generation too (for example) who may not be very confident using digital equipment.

REV24 is very simple to set up.
Once it is setup, you have an override function similar to any old fashioned timer to change on/off.
When it is on, but you find it is not quite warm enough, you press the button marked "+" to make it a bit warmer.
My dog understood it the first time, my geranium needed 2 repeats before feeling confident.
