Ariston
8 300 (Ariston ABS PRO ECO PW 50V)
. We placed Ariston in the category of the best manufacturers of low-cost water heaters, but the company's range, of course, is not limited to the budget segment. The Italian brand Ariston has settled in the domestic market for a long time and firmly. There is hardly a home appliance store, wherever the products of this brand are present, which is not surprising, given the presence of a strong production base in Russia. From here and, perhaps, the most mass range of water heaters, among which electric storage accumulate the lion's share. Ariston boilers are naturally considered to be among the best in terms of functionality, quality and price. Consumer available models with a tank of stainless steel or with a unique enamelled coating Ag + (with silver ions) with a capacity of 10, 15, 30, 50, 80, 100 or more liters. Almost all products of the brand are distinguished by a high degree of protection, convenient operation and a pleasant design. In addition to electric, Ariston produces instantaneous and storage gas water heaters, indirect heating boilers, heating equipment. Main advantages:

At the moment, we have a second water heater, Ariston, who replaced the old one, which served for about 4 years, which is very good for our conditions. Some complain of leaks, and I put a crane with a gearbox at the entrance and do not know grief. |

Thermex
5 800 (Thermex Champion ER 50V)
A trademark with Italian roots appeared in Russia in 1995. The manufacturer specializes in electric water heaters of various types, capacity, volume and purpose. Thermex is usually associated with low-cost, easy-to-install and use models for consumers. Although there are not cheap specimens, which is somewhat strange considering the Russian or Chinese assembly (even if there is electronic control). The most demanded storage water heaters from 10 to 300 liters. In the construction of the latter, corrosion-proof tanks made of stainless steel or coated with biofer glass are used. Traditional "chip" - a multi-stage security system, magnesium anode. There are also flow-through and combined models in the manufacturer’s arsenal. The design of devices from Thermex is classic cylindrical, slim (slim) or compact flat. The exterior design is an "amateur", but the price-quality ratio is in order. In its class, the brand is considered a competitor to Ariston. Main advantages:

Strange, but inexpensive Thermex water heaters with a glass porcelain tank are better than stainless steel. The latter, despite the ambitious name, is rather thin and for some reason easily corroded to corrosion (there is a bitter experience). |

Gorenje
13 700 (Gorenje OGB 80 SEDDS B6)
The company from Slovenia has long and deservedly been considered one of the best European manufacturers of household appliances. The climatic niche, which at Gorenje is represented by gas water heaters, indirect heating boilers (from 80 to 300 liters) and a decent range of electric storage water heaters, was not deprived of attention. The last category can be divided into 3 parts by the displacement:
Internal tanks can be made of stainless or enameled steel. The quality of both options is high, and therefore the guarantee for leaks is sufficiently long in both cases. In terms of design, Gorenje is characterized by classic round or more compact flat models of water heaters. The stand alone design line Simplicity stands out, which stands out for its original and stylish design, which is in perfect harmony with other household appliances of this brand. Main advantages:

Our black rectangular boiler hangs in the kitchen and looks very cool. Even somehow not associated with the banal device for heating water. It works perfectly, the case is practically not heated. We put the ECO and more control did not touch. |

Timberk
6 700 (Timberk SWH SE1 15 VO)
Quite an interesting brand, positioning itself as Swedish. It is difficult to say whether it is true or not, but the fact that all production is concentrated in China is not at all concealed, and the main market is Russia and the CIS countries. Be that as it may, the products are of very decent quality and enjoy well-deserved popularity. The trademark is specialized, its activity is completely tied to the manufacture of climate, thermal technology and, in our case, especially relevant, water-heating equipment. There are a lot of successful models in the assortment of both flow and cumulative types of different power, configuration and volume. In terms of functionality and quality of materials, products from Timberk are almost as good as their counterparts from leading brands, they are distinguished by a modern and attractive design. An important condition for maintaining long-term operation of water heaters is the exact observance of the manufacturer's recommendations for operation and maintenance. Main advantages:

I chose Timberk because of the compact flat design with good internal tank capacity. Technical equipment at a high level, looks good on the wall. And, most importantly, it warms well. Rescues during the shutdown of hot water. |

Electrolux
14 100 (Electrolux NPX 8 Flow Active)
It is hardly worth going into the history of this famous Swedish brand - it is old and very nice.The main thing is that household appliances manufactured under this brand by the international concern of the same name are highly valued throughout the world and in the open spaces of the Russian market in particular. The corporate identity of the company is the continuous improvement of its products, the development and implementation of the most daring innovations. Electrolux offers consumers a wide range of equipment for water heating and heating of almost all types:
In addition to excellent technical equipment, Electrolux models are easily recognizable thanks to a modern and stylish corporate design. Main advantages:

They bought their German boiler in a country house, where the water is always only cold. Yes, I had to pay a lot, but now I have full confidence that the problem with hot water supply has been solved qualitatively and for a very long time. |

I specifically chose a water heater, so that it was made not in China, but in Germany. For the quality of money is not a pity. Then I'll take a slightly cheaper model of the Slovak assembly. |
Water heater which company is better to buy?
In fact, almost all brands have both successful and frankly weak models. Therefore, it is impossible to say unequivocally: they say, take a water heater of such a brand and you will be happy. Another thing is that the manufacturers indicated in our review have the greatest popularity and a considerable amount of positive feedback from the current owners. Choosing one, it will be much easier to decide on a specific instance of the device in the future. And for this it is necessary to further analyze their need for hot water, the possibility of a home electrical or gas network, the availability of free space for placement.
Of course, the pricing policy of individual brands is of no small importance. Someone is willing to pay for the German quality and is buying Stiebel Eltron or AEG, someone will like the wallet and products of the average price range from Gorenje or Electrolux. Low-priced models of Thermex or some brands not included in the review (for example, Hyundai) can be quite competitive, but there are also certain risks. In choosing the best models, however, our current ratings can help.
