Pro’s

This is a fantastic, reliable bullet proof boiler giving excellent performance and reliability. It contains stainless steel heat exchanger and has been very well designed with a very long life in mind. It is compatible with Vaillant’s ebus controls including weather compensating controls and V Smart which both increase efficiency by 4%. It has a modulation range of 1:4, has won Which? Best buy and quiet mark. This boiler is perfect for small and mid-size homes, ideally with one hot water draw at a time. If you have 2 bathrooms which are likely to be used at the same time you will need a more powerful boiler or an unvented cylinder.

Con’s

Not many.
It does not fit in a standard kitchen cupboard.
It is not possible to fit pipework behind the boiler without fitting a frame (this cost a little extra and makes the boiler deeper).
It’s not available in very high-powered options.

Opinion

Can’t go wrong with this option if you don’t need massive hot water performance. If so go for the plus or exclusive.
