A water heater is an extremely useful thing. It is especially valuable where hot water is often turned off, and is also useful in the country and in a country house. To help the buyer choose the best model, we have compiled a rating of electric storage water heaters as of 2017. The top 10 was selected taking into account the popularity, rating and reviews of the models on the Yandex.Market website.
10. Superlux NTS 30 R PL (SU)
Average price: 5 800 rubles.
The rating of storage electric water heaters in 2017 is opened by a small (30 l) model of Chinese production. The compact enamel tank (44 x 44 x 30 cm) does not take up much space and is wall-mounted. With a power consumption of 1.2 kW, the device heats its 30 liters to 50 degrees in 45 minutes.
9. Haier ES50V-R1 (H)
Average price: 8,000 rubles.
The next in the top of storage electric water heaters is another model of Chinese production. It is already a little larger (a stainless steel tank with a capacity of 50 liters), and the maximum temperature is also higher - heating goes up to 75 degrees. Only the check valve (included with the drain pipe) raises questions. Many users prefer to connect directly, without a valve, because the latter is either defective, or the system works worse with it than without it. And on the positive side, you can name excellent thermal insulation and heating rate.
8. Gorenje OTG 100 SLSIMB6 / SLSIMBB6
Average price: 11,000 rubles.
Let's move from China to Eastern Europe, where brothers-Slovenes produce water heaters (including). Specifically, the OTG 100 SLSIMB6 is a large water heater with an enamelled tank of 100 liters more than a meter high and weighing 36 kg, so you need to think carefully about where to hang it. Available in both radical black and classic white. Although intended for home use, small businesses may find it useful too. The main thing is not to forget to drain the water, if there is a danger of freezing - the enamel can crack.
7. Oasis VC-30L
Average price: 6 400 rubles.
Oasis VC-30L is a small heater, only 30 liters, but it differs from the tenth place in the rating of the best electric storage water heaters by a slightly higher power - instead of 1.2 kW for the VC-30L 1.5 kW, and the upper temperature limit is 75 degrees. These 30 liters heat up to a maximum in about half an hour. True, the thermometer does not always have time to quickly respond to changes in the temperature in the tank - the numbers come with a delay of half a minute.
6. Roda Kessel ILW 200 B
Average price: 28,600 rubles.
And from a small heater designed for one or two people, we move on to a real titanium with a 200 liter enamel tank for a large family. Large volume, ease of operation, build quality and materials - this is one of the best storage water heaters in the rating in terms of reliability. He will save the whole family for many years during a hot water cutoff.
5. Garanterm GTI 30-V
Average price: 10,000 rubles.
The best storage water heater, if you take into account such a parameter as shape. It is narrow enough (25.5 cm thick) so that you can hide it in the closet and not spoil the look of the bathroom. The tank is made of stainless steel, with a volume of 30 liters, and it will heat the water up to the maximum temperature in about half an hour or a little more. And two temperature modes will save energy.
Like many conditionally Russian manufacturers who buy components or completely manufacture their devices in China, Garanterm sometimes has a defect. Not a single buyer is insured against this.
4. Ariston ABS Shape 30 OR
Average price: 6 900 rubles.
Small compact heater for 30 l with a bright and pleasant design. The tank is covered with titanium enamel, the maximum heating is up to 75 degrees, the power is 1.5 kW. The water heater works very quickly - it turns its 30 liters of cold water into hot water in less than half an hour and at the same time it is completely silent.
3. Electrolux EWH 50 Royal Silver
Average price: 15 800 rubles.
The model of a beautiful silver color with a stainless steel tank with a volume of 50 liters will heat all this water to the maximum temperature (75 degrees) in about an hour and a little (power 2 kW). At the same time, it keeps heat for a long time, up to two days. Externally, the water heater looks beautiful and, which is important in a bathroom, the coating is easily cleaned of splashes of water and steam and looks like new.
We recommend replacing the non-return valve from the native aluminum one with a brass one immediately after purchase - then the water heater will last even longer.
2. Polaris FDRS-30V
Average price: 10 600 rubles.
In second place in the rating of electric storage water heaters in terms of quality, performance and reliability is a small model with a stainless steel tank with a volume of 30 liters. Water heats quickly (maximum temperature 75 degrees), you can select two heating modes. Separately, it is worth noting a very detailed and understandable instruction, which, unfortunately, is rather rare on the Russian market.
1. Timberk SWH RED1 100V
Average price: 8 400 rubles.
Timberk drives are very popular in the Russian market - they are powerful, reliable and at the same time inexpensive. The SWH RED1 100V model is equipped with a 100 liter tank, heating power 1.5 kW, keeps heat for a long time - up to two days. And, despite the long service life, the quality of the supplied water does not deteriorate - there is no smell, no sediment, no rust.
