Rating of water heaters for different tastes

Storage water heaters today are in demand not only in our country, but throughout the rest of the world. With the help of such devices, we can survive any crimping, during which, as a rule, hot water is turned off. Well, it is cheaper for residents of the United States or Europe to get water of the required temperature in this way than in the traditional way. The problem with any water heater is that it constantly interacts with water, which is far from always of good quality. As a result of this, some products quickly fail. In order not to buy a similar device, pay attention to our rating of water heaters of 80 liters and other volumes. With information on reliable models, it will be easier for you to purchase truly high-quality equipment.

Which company to choose a storage water heater?

In today's market, equipment of such brands is in constant demand.

Important! Regardless of which manufacturer you choose, you first need to determine the volume of the water heater. Our article will be a good helper in resolving this issue. “How many liters should I choose for a family water heater?”

Ariston

The Hotroint and Ariston brands have long been owned by Indesit, Italy. These brands produce more budget devices, the quality of which is slightly above average. As a rule, Ariston water heaters do not have any advanced electronic “brains”. But they are quite capable of serving their master for 5-6 years without breakdowns.

Electrolux

Swedish manufacturer that specializes in creating a wide variety of household appliances. The main emphasis here is on dimensional appliances, for example, well-known dishwashers, washing machines and Electrolux refrigerators.

Also, in many homes of users of the CIS countries and Europe, you can find storage water heaters of this manufacturer. As a rule, such devices can boast of advanced electronics, so that the user does not have to interfere with the control of the device. However, such models cost slightly more than their competitors.

Important! For budget-conscious users, more budget devices have been created - they have mechanical control, a less attractive appearance and not the most capacious tank.

Hyundai

This company began its work in 1947 and broke up in 2003. Today, there are several separate companies that have the right to make a Hyundai nameplate on their products. The most famous among them specializes in the production of cars. About a company that manufactures water heaters, much less knows. Meanwhile, these devices are of rather high quality, they can be used both in the city and in settlements where there is never tap water.

Thermex

Unlike many others, this company specializes exclusively in the production of water heaters. Equipment that goes off the assembly line of this manufacturer receives decent components and, in some cases, patented technology. All this makes their devices durable and working without problems. For good reason, this company provides a 2-year warranty. And the warranty period for the inner tank can reach all five years.

Important! This does not concern only their more budget products, which are not intended for active use for a long time.

Timberk

Scandinavian company, which was founded less than 20 years ago. Its main task is the manufacture of climatic equipment. In Europe, you can easily find fan heaters under this brand, as well as air conditioners and other equipment. And more recently, the company began to produce electric storage water heaters. These devices immediately gained popularity - now you can buy them not only in Sweden, Finland and other cold countries, but also on the domestic market of household appliances.

• Power.
• Degree of protection.

First, consider compact models of small capacity - up to 30 liters.

Timberk SWH SE1 15 VO

The simplest water heater. Inside this model is placed only 15 liters of water. At the same time, the capacity of the apparatus reaches 2 kW, which makes it possible to obtain hot water almost immediately after it is recruited. It also makes it possible not to think about how high-quality electrics are in your home.

Advantages:

• Relatively low cost.
• Fast heating of water.
• High water outlet temperature.
• Easy installation.
• Presence of safety and protection against overheating.
• Robust design (no complaints of damage).

Disadvantages:

• Minimum tank volume inside.
• Not the prettiest design.

Important! User reviews on Timberk SWH SE1 15 VO show that this device may be quite enough if you live alone. In total, one and a half buckets of water accumulate inside the device - with such a quantity you can not only wash a small amount of dishes, but also quickly take a shower. And the shower will be hot as the outlet water temperature can reach an impressive 57 degrees.

Timberk SWH FSM5 30 V

A slightly more expensive model from the Scandinavian manufacturer, but also twice as capacious. Theoretically, the capabilities of this device may be enough for a family of a couple of people. But, unfortunately, the power here remains the same (2 kW), as a result of which heating a full tank takes a certain time.

Important! You can encounter this problem only if before that you have used up all the water, which is quite rare.

Advantages:

• The inner tank is made of stainless steel.

Disadvantages:

• Short power cord.
• Not the highest cost.

Important! User reviews on this model indicate that this is a great option for a single person. The device is suitable for two people, but in this case, such a choice will not be ideal, since the volume of the internal tank will still be insufficient. The rest of this storage water heater does not have any serious drawbacks - even its low power is a plus for it, since the user does not have to change the wiring.

Now we will consider more voluminous models - over 30 liters.

Garanterm GTI 100-V

This model was created for those who need a huge supply of water. In the tank of this unit fit 100 liters. As a result, even a family of four can use the device. You can calmly take a shower while your spouse is washing dishes - cold water will not pour on you.

Advantages:

• Very capacious internal tank.
• A memorable interior.
• It is unlikely to break in the coming years.
• The presence of a safety valve.
• Flat shape.

Disadvantages:

• Pretty high cost.

Important! User reviews on this model indicate that the device copes well with saving electricity. The fact is that there is a mode of maintaining heat, which can be used instead of heating, if you do not want to pay large bills for electricity. The power of the device is only 2 kW, but this is enough for it, thanks to the special design of the heating elements.

Important! Have you already purchased a water heater and want to install it yourself? Use the useful tips and recommendations of specialists from our article "Installation of a boiler".

Haier ES50V-R1 (H)

A good option for a family of a couple of people also fell into our rating of storage water heaters for reliability. The cost here does not make you bite your elbows, and the internal tank pleases with a 50-liter volume. Only the cylindrical shape of the apparatus can slightly upset, which is why a lot of free space will be needed for its installation.

Advantages:

• Existence of protection against an overheat.
• Optimum tank volume.
• Sane cost.
• If necessary, the outlet water may be hot.

Disadvantages:

• Difficulties with cleaning and draining the water completely.
• Shortish network cable.
• There are questions to the design.

Important! User reviews on this model once again show that you should not give preference to budget products. Yes, this device is good, but it is preferable to use it in urban conditions. Yes, and in terms of assembly, the device can not please, because it feels like the Chinese were doing this. Everything tells us that this device is designed for 2-3 years of trouble-free operation, nothing more.

Timberk SWH FSM6 80 H

Like all the above models, this unit has a power of 2 kW. This makes heating the water in the tank lengthy, but this process is not required very often. Often it is only necessary to maintain the temperature, and the device copes with this task well.

Advantages:

• Presence of overheat protection.
• No complaints about the design.
• The tank is made of stainless steel.
• The presence of a safety valve.
• Relatively compact sizes.
• Horizontal mounting.
• The presence of a large number of various indicators.
• Ability to control using the remote control.

Disadvantages:

• High price.

Important! User reviews on this model suggest that the Scandinavians know their job. The device is expensive, but it has the highest quality assembly. A large number of supported protection technologies increases the service life, which can be 5-10 years. An important advantage is the horizontal installation. This will not make it possible to install the device in a too small toilet, but this installation reduces the load on the lower fasteners.
