Viessman Boilers

Dear all, 

What is your opinion on combi boilers Viessman? 

I have 2 in mind
1. VIESSMAN VITODENS 050-w 29 w 

2.
VIESSMAN VITODRN 100-w 30kw 
The difference in price £450. 

I'm interested on views. Further info- 3 bedroom, 1 bath, 1 shower, mid-terraced house. 

Thank you

    3 years is nothing in the lifetime of a boiler. WB, although popular, mainly due to successful marketing, are not as good as many might think. They're fairly mid-range these days at best.

    No complaints about WB combi boilers here, had one fitted eleven years ago when we moved into our present property, couple of minor faults, the timer stopped working and a small rubber connector perished otherwise just annual services carried out.

    Worcester Bosch are great at marketing, Viesmann are at least as good as WB , Both of those mentioned in OP should be  more than good enough for 3 bed terraced...  I would be happy with any Viesmann, WB  or Intergas in my house  and  on the paper they both seem to be powerful enough.
