Hate It!
SOO MUCH MONEY, SO LITTLE VALUE! THE THING BROKE WITHIN THE FIRST USE! COSTED ME $500+ TO GET IT FIXED. I RECOMEND NOT GETTING IT. IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY. I HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. ITS NOT WORTH $500, ITS NOT WORTH $300, ITS NOT EVEN WORTH $10! DO NOT GET IT. I REPEAT, DO NOT GET IT. IT IS REALLY, REALLY BAD. IT BROKE DURING SHIPPING AND WITHING THE FIRST USE ALMOST COSTED ME MY HOUSE. IT DOES NOT WORK AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT REFUND, NOT EVEN A DIME!

Who Said They Last Ten Years?
My brother in law is a heating engineer and he recommended these boilers to everyone 6 to 7 years ago, he even fitted one to his own property he is now regretting this.
I myself had one fitted in 2006 and apart from the usual combi boiler moan of how long it takes to fill a bath with hot water have had few problems with it, however yesterday it stopped working prompting a call to my brother in law who after running it through the restart program said it wanted a new pcb board which he could fit. Upon removing the cover; straight away there were signs of burning to the foam insulation and shield to the heat exchanger telling us that the heat exchanger had burnt out.
This is about four that my brother in law has had this happen to in the last twelve months, they all are just 6 years old. A new heat exchanger is £600 plus fitting and tax.
My old boiler was a cast iron potterton free standing boiler which apart from the odd thermocouple lasted 30 years, how they can say that these things reduce our carbon footprint when you would have to have five of these in a 30 year period is beyond me.
I would not recommend these boilers to anyone the Ferroli company has lost its good name that it had some six years ago.
I have to admit I bought this insret simply because I love all things All-Clad. While it heats well, the indentation on the inside is a problem. I love it becuase it allows the insret to fit snugly, but I hated working with it until I got one of those small silicone spatulas. It fits perfectly in the indentation and it's the same one I use with my food processor. I made cheese dip over for the Super Bowl and I was impressed with the insret's performance. I see that All Clad now has a ceramic double boiler insret. I must live in a test market because I've only seen it at one store and it's not even on the store's or All Clad's website. I forget the cost but, you're buying the insret and the 2 qt saucepan as a set. The insret is removable. I like this original insret better, even with the indentation, because it's bigger.

Bought In March2006 It Required A New Main Board W
Bought in March2006 it required a new main board within 2 months and has experinced numerous breakdowns since. Ferroli did not whant to know once out of warrenty and this has required signing a contract with British Gas for maintance. Their engineers have been called out 6 times in 2010 and new replacement parts have been required. Consideration on my side for a new boiler is paramount as the house has underfloor heating. Reading other reviews does not instill confidance in British companys.
