Help me choose a boiler please

Legacy_user

Hello everyone,
as the title says, I am looking for help choosing a boiler.
I have had a few quotes and all the local fitters seem equally good, so I am struggling with too much choice.
I have been given a choice of the following 7 boilers.
Worcester Bosch Greenstar 301
Baxi Platinum 33
Potterton Titanium 33
Ideal Logic 30
Vaillant Ecofit pure 835
Baxi 630
Vokera Easiheat
Initially I would have just chosen the Worcester Bosch, but one of the fitters stated that they were no better than the others, they just had more effective advertising!
I know it can be all down to personal choice, but I would really welcome opinions and recommendations if possible.
We live in a 3 bed single bathroom 1930's semi with solid walls throughout, if that is helpful. I did ask for a little over capacity as we may extend in the future.
Thanks in advance.

I’d forget the vokera and the logic straight away.

My plumber swears by Vaillant, they are good mid range boilers that last a long time if serviced regularly and have decent warranties with them. Our current one is an 18 year old Vaillant combi that still works well. We are considering replacing it just to get a condensing combi and knowing how old it is but will probably just keep saving for a while as it probably still has a good few years left in it so would be a waste to just change it for no reason.

Worcester Bosch are the ones that win the Which reliability survey every year, with Vaillant usually a close second. For a £1 temporary membership you can view the data on their website.

2 relatives have had WB and had nothing but problems with leaks internally. We have a Baxi Duotec 40 HE and it’s been excellent the past few years. Big combi for plenty of hot water even in the middle of winter, up to 18l a min flow rate.

We have had two houses fitted with Vaillant and they have been great boilers. I wouldn't run away from a WB but prefer Vaillant based on two gas fitters recommendation.

My dad's WB 28i is 2 years old and has had a pressure vessel and a diverter motor. Reliable my !!!.

Had a Viessmann 100 boiler for just under five years, considerable saving on original ideal boiler in consumption terms. Viessmann also now give 10 year warranty instead of previous 5. Maybe worth looking at.

This is just anecdote, the Consumers Association reliability data is based on stats from 12,000 boilers.
