Ideal Legendary Reliability

[Aquazone]

Was listening to Talksport on way to merchants this morning. Heard an advert for the Ideal Vogue boiler, which is apparently very good (according to the opinions on this forum - never worked on or fitted one).

Then they came out with the line "and you get Ideals legendary reliability"

Made me chuckle, as they seem to have completely wiped from their memory the Icos/Isar/Istor range.

People slate these boilers, but I like them - I think they have single handedly paid for 2 family holidays :tounge_smile:

I'd agree. Other than running off course a bit, starting with the mini then the legendary icon, they're very good.

I agree Steve that the old Ideals were good, solid boilers, but I hardly think reliability should be a focus of your ad campaign in the next generation of boilers after the Icos etc.

Although having said that, if they can't use reliable there's not much else to say to big up your product

They're not reliable though. The Logic has a problem with leaking heat exchangers and the control panel clips last all of 5 minutes before they break. Another part of the company I work for is changing heat exchangers at a rate of 3 a week on the logic that have just come out of warranty. There's no way I'd have one in my house. I'd rather a Worcester. Which are plastic rubbish.

No cast aluminium heat exchanger boiler is worth wasting money on but I would chose an ideal over a pile of worcester tosh.
Actively reject install work from customers who insist on Worcesters. The vogue is probably the better ideal as it has the stainless gianonni heat exchanger.

Makes you wonder if they are actually trying to make a joke.
