Which?'s overall report revealed that more owners were satisfied with their Worcester Bosch boiler than any brand in the survey. How's that for a glowing recommendation?
Reliability and customer scores were worked out based on three main criteria – the number of faults boilers developed in customer’s homes, customer satisfaction and their likelihood to recommend the product. The manufacturer smashed it on all accounts, swooping up impressive scores.
‘We’ve been running boiler reliability surveys for over 10 years and Worcester Bosch has impressed us every single year,’ says Matthew Knight, Principal researcher at Which?
