Very useful video. We need a new boiler and after watching your videos I was going to go for the baxi 800 but now after seeing the Main is pretty much the same as the baxi and almost half the price I'm tempted by the Main. Keep up the good work. Your advice is second to none. It helped me a lot and hopefully it helps others too.

Can’t beat the Main Eco Compact for me, A competitive price to guarantee as well.

Hey Allen.. I was on verge of buying a worcester or Valiant.. but then watched your wonderful videos changed my mind to Baxi...🤣.. Made in 🇬🇧.. love it

On the Baxi course it was 'mentioned in jest' that you could cut the bar off of top of the Main and run the pipes up the back without comprising the rigidity/integrity of the boiler 😉

I’ve installed a main eco compact 30 in my own house, brilliant boiler for the price. (It’s a baxi 600 in disguise). Thanks for the videos. 👍

Great video Allen, I appreciate all that you do. You've given me more knowledge than any other channel. You're a top bloke pal! 👍😊

[decepticonSB]

Thank you Allen. Another extremely informative video. Based on your video I will opt for either the main or Baxi 600 series.

I am a Bangladeshi regularly watching your videos সুন্দর ভিডিও আপনাকে ধন্যবাদ

Thank you for posting. Really helpful comparison video. Have a Baxi 800 in my house but opted for a Main for a rental property based on your video.

Hi Allen great video mate as always!! The other difference is the baxi has the quick fill as well . the main comes with a different filling setup 👍

[LindaKnox-im]

Hi Allen, just come accross your channel, good to watch. Could i just ask, i have a baxi, does the green light on the receiver need to be on or off. Thanks

I think you are great, honest in your reviews. I'm looking to replace my rented property standard boiler for combi so will now chose the baxi 825 for the warranty.

Hi Alan the last couple of videos I have watched you are debating wether a 6 litre expansion vessel was in fact big enough so I did check back on the instructions for a Vokera 12/16/20e systems boiler, now I know this is an older boiler but I chose it because I was very familiar with it . In its largest size is 20e This had a 6litre expansion vessel in fact all the models have the same, The instructions state this can accommodate a system with a capacity of 63 liters and a maximum heat output of 19.8 KW .We looked after 100's of these and only in one type of bigger older house with quite a few larger radiators was this a problem which could see the pressure in the system rise above 2.5 bar when hot and this was a tank fed hot water system as well so more volume in the flow and return pipes to the cylinder.Modern radiators today have far less water in them so I cannot see this being a problem unless there are unusual circumstances in the property .Just used to set these houses at 1.2 bar instead of 1.5 and that sorted it . Cast Iron for the heat exchanger by the way. Ha ha .or is that giving my age away.

Great video as always, much appreciated.
I am about to have a Baxi fitted, but I would like to know if I have a 10Litres/min boiler as opposed to say a 14 Litres/min, will the shower have any difference in pressure?
My cold water comes in at 10 Litres/min if that's of any help.

Loving your videos as always, can I fit an omega filter and a magnacleanse to my system. Or would you say it’s only worth fitting one? If so which one? It’s a main eco compact boiler.

Allen have you installed the Potterton Assures? They're exactly the same boiler aswell. And you can run the pipe from behind aswell like the Baxi 600/800. Only difference is it's 2 year warranty. And they don't supply with filling loop or tails.

[stevo]

Good point. How long you intend to live in a house determines the length of warranty you will need.

[BABYCHAOS]

The Potterton Asure is also the same boiler as the Baxi 600, different shape fascia to make it look a bit more unique but apart from that it’s identical. The Potterton Assures are aimed at the social housing market.

Just fitted my first Main today ... really like it 👌🏻

[madmission]

Hi Alan great videos sir... I'm about to replace a Saunier Duvall f30e, which was the cheaper version of it's Gloworm equivalent (in pretty much the same respect as the Main is to the Baxi). Would you know how compatible the spares are between the Main and the Baxi, ie will the same PCB's diverter valves etc fit both models
