Ideal vs Volkera are they all good or bad?

[david007]

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen

I though I’d post this this at this time as the majority of the same in the UK will not be watching strictly or XFactor

Anyway I have a 28cdi of some considerable yers that is slowly dying. It’s done sterling service to my 4 bed detached with one bathroom and one shower running off the HW.

I’m on a budget and was looking at the either the 30k or 35kw Ideal Combi (5 yr warranty) or the Volkera Vison 30c 7 yr warranty). Both are in Graham’s at the moment. To be honest I’m slightly sold on the Volkera. I have no idea why. However the reviews are so mixed that is difficult to get any independent advice. The boilers in the garage so it doesn’t have up look like anything spectacular and noise isn't an issue. Anybwadgice would be of great help.

ps they are both coming in at £599 including the dreaded!!

Ideal would be my choice out of the 2 but others may disagree . Kop

Thanks, Kop, is that just preference or reliability? They boast better technology and economy. It's funny when you see Volkera site they reckon they have over 1.5 million UK customers. Be interested to see what others think. Ive had a few mates who've had a number of Friday afternoon Audi's so i'm not interested in badges etc. Its often the luck of the draw i guess. Thanks again.

Neither I haven’t had the best experiences with any of them.

Personal preference I am a installer who is not tied to any manufacturer I have fitted both and Ideal is my choice they are well built simple to work on and offer a decent warranty but it's your choice in the end . Cheers kop

I'd suggest an ideal out of the two. I find vokera abit cheap and nasty. But if installed correctly, suppose you can't go wrong with a 7 year warranty.

The firm around here who picks up vokera under warranty is rough as hell . Wouldnt like that myself if i was a customer.
