Our thoughts:
The Ideal Vogue Max is perfect for a wide range of homes, from those with low to heavy hot water demands. The combi model doesn’t require a water cylinder or tank to operate, making it perfect if you want to prioritise space management in your installation. However, the system boiler does require a cylinder and can produce more hot water with less power required than other equivalent boilers.
