What are the best RF room stats to fit for combis when considering price, ease of installation and ease of explaning to the user.
Do you go for manufactureres own plug in units or Drayton, Honeywell or other?

Agree with lame, the rf analogue honeywell with the wheel is a good compromise between convenience and ease of use, even for the wrinklies like lame.

Their range is confusingly large.

Till they break, just out of guarantee. Fitted and replaced loads

I use the Honeywell, but I don't like that they don't have a dial.

You can get a straight forward dial one.

As said before Honeywell are easy to use but have broke just out of warranty.... Lucky dip comes to mind on choosing an RF roomstat.....

As you can see, no real answer, they are all much of a muchness....it don't really matter

 

[Leo21]

Your kidding! Salus are pants.

Your kidding! Salus are pants.

the point was, if you read the posts, was that everyone was opting for a different one and generally they are, the only difference is how much you wanna pay

I looked this up a little while ago and published our return rates. I thought I would look again, to see if anything has changed since I last did it.

Salus RF stats returned in warranty: 2.9%
Drayton RF stats returned in warranty: 1.47%
Honeywell RF stats returned in warranty: 1.1%

So the cheapest stat has the highest return rate, and the most expensive has the lowest return rate. What a surprise.
