Thermex Champion ER 50V

Advantages: I use it for 6 years. There were no problems. All good. For 3 people enough.

Disadvantages: Over 6 years of work they simply do not.

Comment: Protection once worked from overheating, which pleased, although I thought that covered myself. Take, a good thing for the price.

Advantages: Compact, inexpensive, nothing superfluous.

Disadvantages: Teng is weak

Comment: Served 15 years. Anodes are not changed. In 2016, finally flowed, rotten tank. The entire electrical part worked without comment.

Advantages: 1. Price
2. 2m people have enough washing themselves, for 3 the maximum limit of water is felt.

Disadvantages: Materials

Comment: He worked for 3-3.5 years and gave a leak, where the vnutryanka was leaky. For the entire time of use, I changed the magnesium anode once and did not perform any maintenance. He honestly worked his price.
I want a little bit more margin of safety, at least for five years.

Advantages: 1 almost spherical shape - fucking got under the ceiling in the toilet
2 price! It's just not clear how they make it for the money.
3 emergency valve in set, RCD on the wire

Disadvantages: 1 temperature sensor shows it is not clear what .. then the arrow began to walk by itself .. Disassembled, glued the moment, it all worked, but the thermometer is horror

Comment: I bought for 5 tr. + 1.5 tr. consumption - put himself on dozens through bolts. sits like a glove.

Advantages: - Height played a role when choosing from cheaper
- No need to remove the cover to adjust the temperature (on the cheap stuff with this problem as I understood it)
- Availability of network cable (which is also rare for low-cost boilers)
- RCD (protection) on the cable
- Safety valve (but it must always be included)
- 3 ways to disconnect the heaters: unscrewing the power regulator all the way, using the button on the RCD and pulling the plug

Disadvantages: Just run, see what's wrong

Comment: Not a little extra cost, 2t.r. exactly:
~ 10 collet adapters (for nuts and fittings)
~ 4m metal pipes
- tee collet (was, on the washer, rearranged to the exit from the boiler)
- cross collet (in place tee)
- 2 shut-off valves
- FUM
- 2 anchor bolts (+ washers)

Do not set:
- Drain valve (I thought it was necessary, but it turned out necessary)
- a filter against scale (because we have no problems with scale, we won’t spend money, wondering if we should set it for rust)
- corners collet (for aesthetics, from whom the pocket allows)

It was necessary to throw polypropylene, but not metal-plastic

ZY: Boiler ~ 4400r. (2015.07) Estimation without exploitation and comparison with other boilers.

Advantages: The main advantage - inexpensive + "works and fine."In principle, another device of the same company has been working for 5-7 years in my house, so there is some credibility.

Disadvantages: Unfortunately, in the details you can see the desire to save on everything:
- there is no switch button, such as "unplug from the socket" or cut down the button on the fuse box built into the cable;
- the thread on the fittings is cut roughly, it is difficult to screw the valve, etc.
For me personally, the shape seemed uncomfortable: the tank is short and thick. As a result, the box did not even fit into the trunk (Solaris), carried in the cabin.

Comment: I bought to the country to replace the broken. According to my observations, the volume of 50 l - "necessary and sufficient" to quickly wash 2-3 people. I bought this device mostly looking at a low price. Well, Thermex is a normal brand for me. I don’t know how cool the ceramics are inside there, but on the outside I didn’t like saving on trifles ... So I would have taken the option more expensive and more qualitative to the apartment. But for the summer I hope to get away ...

Advantages: Not expensive, it performs its functions

Disadvantages: Not found

Comment: I use it for 2 years, although not regularly. I turn it on 2-3 times a year for 15-30 days (when the hot water is turned off). Heats the water, some flaws have not yet discovered.
After a year and a half of use, I wanted to change the magnesium anode, but after disassembling it turned out that the mother was not in poor condition. I cleaned it of scale and put it back.

Advantages: price, size, excellent heat insulation

Disadvantages: glass ceramics eventually flies away from metal at the seams

Comment: worked faithfully for 3.5 years in an apartment (pressure 5-6 atm) - then flowed (on the seams inside the glass-ceramics crumbled, the result was a through crust of the tank, while the ten was as good as new). The anode was 1.5 years old - in normal condition, after 3.5 years - completely crumbled.
