I've heard honeywell are a good make, can any one offer a good recommendation? It's for a Ariston combi boiler.
Recommend a Wirefree Room Thermostat?

My company uses these, they are quite good but unlike corgiman I have experienced about 3 faulty units in 6 months (one dodgy display, one not making switch on heat call some times, can't remember the other).
They're OK but if you can use wired room stats (analogue or digi) my advice is to do that.

really aco, were they off the same batch?
as aco says it goes without saying a hard wired room stat is waay better as they need little or no maintance, wireless ones have batteries that tend to go when its -90 degrees outside and the shops are shut

er ok lor whatever mate, what is misleading about agreeing with aco that its best to install and wired room stat where possible?
as for not being busy, i will explain again that i severed the tenden in my thumb two weeks ago, had an operation, and am signed off work for approx six weeks, and posting on here is keeping me sane.
face it lor you have just got a bee in your bonnet about me for some reason.
live with it
as for experiance oh **** it i am not going to justify myself to a little worm like you

actually that was uncalled for and I apologise Lor.
still dont see why you are starting to stick it to me in particular
as for the 1400 posts I started popping stuff on this forum back in 2003
sorry just read your posts.
and feel free to disagree with me thats what this forum is about, and far be it for me to suggest that i am infallible as i am not, i have got things wrong on this site (mostly cos i scan through the question) and have been picked up on it by Agile, chrishutt ChrisR etc etc, and sometimes I have pointed out mistakes made by others,
Thats the way it is
Still dont see what you could possibly disagree with me over this very simple post?
I have had a look through my posts and see that other than the shortage of plumbers thread you have only disagreed with me over the PCBs within isars and Icos' other posts youhave not refered to my answers at all
and because of this site I have convinced my Bosses maybe fitting them is a bad idea, and they have started fitting WB's now.
Long live DIYNOT, it helps us all
lets call it a truce and agree to disagree and get on with it

Yes, boys, start behaving like the men you really are and both members of a "class of persons".
Sorry about the finger!
The wireless ones are dominated by the the Drayton RF1.
In a sparse country area like Yorkshire ( exc Leeds ) they are fine but the earlier ones were often losing communication because they had a poor selectivity receiver on a commonly used frequency ( 433 MHz ).
Later they changed to 418 MHz and a proper superheterodyne receiver which were rarely interfered unless you were in a flat above a minicab office or a 70 cm radio amateur.

I'm afraid I agree that ACL Drayton RFn units are unreliable. I have had a dead-on-arrival rate of approximately 10% and early failure in service of a further 10%. Just rubbish quality management of the electronics production I'm sorry to say. There's absolutely zero excuse, especially given the high price ticket.
The other problem with the RF2 and RF3 is that users find the programming process very hard to understand (OK - in a couple of instances it MIGHT have been wilful stupidity ut there were more than a couple of problems!).
I've asked my supplier to find an alternative brand.
