[gas4you]

Vaillant Ecotec Plus is very quiet

 

[baxpoti]

Powermax - silent

 

[penpusher]

Powermax - silent

That's cos theyre usually waiting for someone to fix em

 

[mehran]

alpha CD boilers are quiet

 

[Doctor Drivel]

I generally find pre-mix burner boilers quieter and fan in the flue-way appallingly noisy.

 

[ollski]

Powermax - silent

That's cos theyre usually waiting for someone to fix em

Probably referring to the new powermaxes....share nothing at all in common with the old range style things.

'cos there's no point waiting?

The new has an unvented cylinder, while the old Range was an integrated thermal store. Using a plate heat exchanger would have improved the thing no end.

Lots of them did.

Valliant Turbomax is very much like a panzer when it starts up and not nice at 6 am

That's right, right towards the end before Potterton ditched it and gave the name to another different model. I heard they ditched it out of professional pride - they never designed it.

I always like the Range version and the plate heat Xs made matters better in DHW delivery.
