"Cross Your Fingers If You Bought One"
I just got a $2000 repair bill for 2 circulators and a mother board. I have a oil burner in my other house for 20 years and the circulators are still running. Oh My God

"my munchkin blows up!"
Disastrous... Every so often my munchkin boiler emits a kaboom that will rattle a 3 story house and almost flip you out of your bed. Had all kinds of repairs and the problem persists. This is a dangerous product.

"Second new mother board in 3 years"
On my Munchkin, I get f003 codes ... two service technicians from two different companies came out last night at weekend rates. The second one was the outfit that installed this boiler 7 years ago. The technician tells me there's no message on the led display so he needs to order a "mother board" ... this would be the second one (I replaced it in 2008 already). The first one cost $1,000 and took a week to get. The first technician reported an f003 error code .. thermistor problem ... but he wasn't too savvy on this boiler so couldn't fix it. I had to find renters a hotel to stay in. This is a nightmare. I can't have an unreliable boiler with winter weekend renters. Any ideas?

"What a disaster"
We have now had two of these pieces of junk and they have been a complete disaster. Both have had multiple problems but one common issue is the build up of combustion products (largely carbon) that accumulates and blocks the condensate drain leading to corrosion of the heat exchanger. The cost in servicing and replacement has been many times the money saved from lower gas bills compared to running the original 80 year old boiler. One thing I have learned from this experience is that the boiler must have a vertical self cleaning heat exchanger like those used in the Triangle Tube Prestige product.

"very disappointed"
I am very dissatisfied with this MUNCHKIN-80M so called high efficiency boiler. I also purchased it to replace an old one that I wish I would have kept; thinking that this one would save me money in the long run. Well, every year it is something & the last 2 years it's the blower motor, which is not inexpensive to replace on a yearly basis. Not sure if I'm going to have it replaced but I an looking into other options. I know one thing, I would never buy another one!!

"high efficiency heather with 925 controller"
Run, don't walk, run from this boiler. It is nothing but a problem. Every year when I turn on the heat in the fall - I require at least 3 service calls. Error code F09, F00, should just say "your F'd"! Many part replacements. Not I am hearing a plate needs to be replaced - in addition to the second replacement today alone of the high limit switch. One year warranty on thousands of dollars to install and yearly at least $700 in repair/service costs. Does anyone know of a class action lawsuit against this manufacturer? Given the reviews - there should be one!

Terrible product that is totally unreliable. Do not buy this piece of junk. It will only cost you money. Mine has been repaired so many times and has displayed so many fault codes that I cannot keep up with them all.

"Have had our munchkin for 5 years installed"
Have had our munchkin for 5 years installed by a friend of mine top notch guy 3 rebuilds and 2 new units in the first 3 years than I got one year with no problems (installed a outside boiler so it was only heating my hot water for 5 months a year)now 2 service call in 3 months can't afford a new boiler but can't afford to keep repairing this one. Manufacturer blames install over and over again but now after replacing with different unit it works for a time then problems again and they stopped building them but not standing behind the units.

"Apartment Building owner."
Have had many maintance problems with this from the beginning. I have had many periodic error codes pop up on the display, mostly f09 and now f10. The maintance is expensive. Now the drip pan underneath the unit is plugged with grit and the installer says they are difficult to clean with certainty. The installer says he quit using Munchkin brand about 3 yrs ago because of these (and other) problems. He suggests considering buying a new boiler--not a Munchkin. I promise I will not buy another Munchkin. Buyer beware!!!
