Having bought an iBoost 4 years ago my immersion developed a fault. Marley engineering have been very helpful with my questions even though the two year warranty has long expired. Solid British business, professional, considerate and diligent. Thank you.

I am now on my 4th iBoost in three years. First one went totally dead after 13months and Marlec graciously replaced, this lasted for 11 months. I decided to have my immersion replaced just to be sure despite only being about five years old. I had to pay them 120 for a new unit which I have subsequently found to be refurbished. This lasted just over 4 months before tripping my circuit breaker and becoming display and totally dead four the third time. So as to be perfectly fair to Marlec I employed an electrician to thoroughly vet my system and find a fault, he couldnt so another 100 wasted

I have found that the person who returned my call was very helpful. Janine talked me through the whole process of programming my iboost. It's a little bit confusing in the instruction booklet, but was made very simple when explained by Janine. Top Marks +++
