There is a two-level flame modulation system, a safety system with automatic shutdown of the flame and gas shut-off.

8. The best geyser of 2018 - 2017 for working with two water intakes: Mora Vega 13 - Price 24,000 rubles.

Water heaters are necessary not only for residents of the private sector, but also for people living in apartments. The central water supply is not always stable, the water supply is turned off to repair and prevent the system. In the summer, without hot water supply (hot water supply), it is difficult. Which geysers are better to choose in order to feel comfortable at any time of the year? What equipment to buy for installation in Khrushchev, a private house or a modern apartment? To help you with the choice, we have compiled a rating of the best models according to users and experts.

Which gas column to choose? With some criteria you need to decide before going to the store. Look around your premises. Is it spacious or cramped? Is the wiring installed old or new? How long have the pipes been changed? Why the answers to these questions are important, you will now find out.

Device power. More powerful devices consume a large amount of electricity, so they require connection to thick wiring. It is worth focusing on the number of sampling points. So, a low power of 9-20 kW can provide one point of intake. Average 20–24 kW - two points. High 25 kW and above - two points with stable operation or three with pressure drops.

Combustion chamber type. Products open type are a classic design. The air that is needed to burn the flame is taken from the room. Therefore, natural ventilation is important. The products of combustion are removed through the chimney.

closed kame ra provides for the installation of a coaxial chimney. It is based on the principle of a pipe in a pipe. Combustion products are removed through one tube, oxygen for combustion enters through the other. The safety of such devices is much higher. Therefore, they are preferable for installation in a residential area.

Ignition type. This is an important criterion on which the convenience of using equipment depends.

• With auto ignition. The burner ignites when the mixer is opened. There are water and gas regulators on the panel, it is possible to have a display.
• With piezo ignition (semi-automatic). To start the burner, you need to hold the button. The cost of such models is lower, but in operation they consume a large amount of fuel.
• Manual ignition was used in older models. It is inconvenient and unsafe.

Safety. When buying, pay attention to this criterion. The presence of flame sensors, thrust, temperature allows you to protect the device from damage, and the user - from poisoning. If the column fails, the sensors signal the control module, after which the operation is turned off.

Choice problems

Which devices are better - domestic or imported? Someone thinks that Russian and Belarusian speakers are the most reliable. The cost of products is much lower than imported ones, besides, they are easier to repair and find spare parts.

Foreign products are often assembled in our country from Chinese parts. Of course, this is much more profitable for manufacturers. It turns out that the client overpays only for the brand / brand, but the equipment is the same?

Another example in favor of a domestic manufacturer. Products are adapted for normal operation in our "not normal" conditions. That is, the column can operate at a minimum system pressure of up to 0.1 bar. And this is true for residents of Khrushchev, where the old water supply is installed. The most famous manufacturers are "", "", "Don". Staurolit and Vestal are also in demand.

On the other hand, if you turn to an official supplier, you can purchase high-quality imported equipment. Yes, it will cost more. Yes, in the event of a breakdown, you will have to order original spare parts. But reliable parts, high-quality components and materials will do their job. Such a product can last more than 10 years. Much depends on the operating conditions.

Sergei

Powerful and high quality speaker. Suitable for hard water, I have been in operation for the fifth year. This is despite the fact that in the water there are impurities of sand that precipitate. So I added a filter. The assembly is good, it provides stable 2 intake points - in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Periodically I clean the heat exchanger, because not a single device can withstand such water for a long time. In general, I am satisfied with the work. One minus - the regulator cannot turn off the operation of the batteries. Pulling them out every time is inconvenient.

Heats liquid quickly, good pressure. The body dimensions are very compact. We don't have a lot of space in our kitchen, so the design fits comfortably. If you value a domestic manufacturer, then choose Ladogaz.

It can be connected to a common line or run from a gas cylinder. The device works quietly, which will not prevent the owners from spending time in the kitchen.

The cost is from 8 000 rubles.

Julia

I chose a water heater for a long time and settled onBosch WR 10-2P with piezo ignition. I met negative reviews that the radiator is flowing. I have been using the equipment for three years, no problems. It is necessary to clean the heat exchanger in time and not set a high temperature. I adjusted it once, and after that it consistently produces hot water. I recommend to buy.

Even the best, according to buyers, technology has its drawbacks and advantages. No wonder they say that the best repair is prevention. If you have decided on the choice of brand of the device, we give several recommendations for long-term operation:

• To install the product, it is better to contact a specialist.
• It is not recommended to mix hot and cold streams on a mixer.
• Once a year, inspect the column nodes.

XXI century ... How Soviet children dreamed about it, and adults too. We imagined trips to the moon, skyscrapers of unprecedented beauty and flying cars. In our imagination, the housing of the future also had to be necessarily super-modern (and for everyone), stuffed with technical innovations. And all household appliances - automatic, robotic and even virtual.

Dreams remained in our childhood: for the most part, only the design changes over the years in the atmosphere of our city apartments. But technological progress still does not stand still. Our "Soviet" geysers are now not only obsolete, but are also recognized as unsafe. They were replaced by a number of new columns with automation and electronics, "sharpened" for different schemes for using hot water. Therefore, it is enough just to go to a specialized store or to its website to decide which gas water heater is better.

Why - gas column?

We ask ourselves: why are they still relevant? In many respects, this choice is determined not by the citizens themselves, but by the state, which has set prices for gas significantly lower than for electricity. That is why now one-story Russia is being actively gasified, changing bottled imported gas for a permanent connection to the gas pipe. Even new high-rise buildings with a fine finish are rented out to equity holders with an indispensable geyser and stove.

Be that as it may, both in the village and in the city, gas water heaters are used to heat the flow of cold water passing through them. But all devices have their own resource. And when it is worked out, the question arises of buying a new unit and deciding which gas water heater is better in this particular case.

Here you can go in two ways: either purchase equipment for heating water that runs on electricity (for example, storage-type water heaters, boilers), or look again at the idea of ​​​​acquiring a gas column. As a rule, many years have passed since the first experience of buying it, so now we have to study this market again.

Today, manufacturers of gas water heaters produce many such devices, which differ in their set of functionality, prices and disadvantages. For Russian consumers of this product, a logical question arises: which gas water heaters are better and more reliable? This is a really complex issue, and it should be solved step by step.

Criterias of choice

Those who believe that the geyser is morally obsolete, and therefore more modern devices - a boiler or a boiler - should be used to heat water, were completely wrong. Indeed, the geyser came to us from the Soviet past, because all other water heating devices were more or less inaccessible to the majority of the population for a long time.

Currently, gas water heaters are not only modern automatic devices, which, by the way, are offered at a rather high price. Taking into account the cost of gas and electricity, they significantly save the family budget. Real wages are not high now, therefore, when forming the purchase budget, we will start from the lowest price bar, and only then find out which gas water heater is better. You should immediately accept a simple fact: speakers cheaper than 4,000 rubles are currently not found in stores.

In addition to the price, all speakers have a slightly different set of functions, power indicators, security systems and other characteristics. How to find out which of these in the gas column is preferable for you? In fact, the approach to solving this issue can be simple: if the previous geyser suited these characteristics, then they should be repelled, and if not, then in the search for this device, you should check that the new one does not have the problems of the old one.

In principle, today it is difficult to make a global mistake with the functionality of a gas column, since everyone has the necessary minimum. Therefore, when deciding which geyser is better, you should look more closely at the constructive “thin” places, shortcomings and specifications.

It is worth paying attention to such a parameter as the company and country of origin. Here we must be aware that many manufacturers have located their production in China or simply buy parts for their products from them. Not only Russian manufacturers save on quality. Import is also not a guarantee. Therefore, the quality of gas water heaters does not depend much on the country of manufacture. The main thing here is good components.

Many are wondering which company's gas column is better to choose. But this is not the case to focus on the brand. There is no leader or monopolist in the production of this equipment on the domestic and foreign markets. Russian columns are represented by the Neva, Ladogaz and Superflame trademarks. However, Ladogaz can hardly be considered a cheap brand - its speakers cost more than 7,000 rubles.

Foreign models of a cheap price segment can be found in such brands as Zanussi and Gorenje.

When choosing for yourself which gas water heater is best for a house or apartment, you should take into account its characteristics indicated in the passport: performance, power, pressure level and others. All this data is needed in order to choose a column for your own style of water use.

Prices for geysers

Prices for gas water heaters are growing slightly from year to year. Over the past year, their cost has risen by about 100-200 rubles. For those who are already deciding which gas water heater is the best, below are the prices in rubles for 2017. These are the units of the lowest price group:

• Zanussi GWH 6 Fonte - 4490.
• Superflame SF0120 10L - 4590.
• Neva 4510 - 5400.
• Gorenje GWH 10 NNBW - 6946.

What do these numbers tell the average person? The fact that, if there are also flowing gas water heaters on sale in the price range of 4-5 thousand rubles, then these are single offers. Prices tend to the threshold of 10 thousand rubles.

Peculiarities

What features do these gas water heaters have? Their scourge is Chinese components. But, it is worth noting that the quality of even such details can be different.

Their problems are similar - low-quality elements of the column mechanism quickly fail and require replacement. Manufacturing plants supply spare parts to the market. By the way, they are relatively cheap. But what is the cost of a device in which, after purchase, you need to constantly invest money.

Despite the assurances of manufacturers about the high quality of these products, warranty periods, all the same, depending on the brand and model, there are more or less negative comments about the quality of the speakers. But they are always there.

By the way, gas water heaters of a higher price range also have quality problems.

At the same time, it is curious that one of the maximum prices for a gas water heater is 408,175 rubles. This is a model of the Italian company Ariston NHRE 36.

Specifications:

• the volume of the water enameled tank - 27 liters;
• floor installation;
• resistance to low water pressure;
• corrosion protection;
• turbulator plates to increase heat transfer;
• also works on liquefied gas;
• temperature controllers and status indicators;
• mechanical control;
• ignition from a piezo lighter;
• maximum water pressure 7 bar;
• 1 year warranty.

As you can see, the Italian manufacturer does not offer anything supernatural, except for an impressive volume, for this amount. Moreover, he is not even able to provide a guarantee for more than a year, while gas water heaters of the Neva brand have a 2-year warranty, and the manufacturer claims a 12-year service life.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to find reviews about the Ariston NHRE 36, but the type of ignition from a piezo lighter can be called as a minus: auto ignition would be more practical.

In this case, consider the geysers of the lower price bracket.

Zanussi GWH 6 Fonte

The history of the Italian company Zanussi dates back to 1916, when a certain Antonio Zanussi organized a company for the production of stoves. Most of the refrigerators and washing machines of this brand are currently entering the Russian market. Therefore, there are not so many reviews about gas water heaters.

Specifications:

• power 18.50 kW;
• thermal conductivity (10 l/min);
• auto ignition;
• wide range of water settings;
• overheating protection system;
• display.

Advantages:

Conclusions: a decent gas water heater, good performance. Low-power, it is recommended to use in small apartments with a small number of residents. The inclusion threshold of 0.15 atmospheres allows the column to be used even at low water pressure. The disadvantage of the column is poor-quality Chinese parts.

With the same performance characteristics and prices, there are devices under the WERT brand on sale.

Superflame SF0120 10L

The trade brand has been known in Russia since 2005. Superflame geysers sold in Russia are a Russian assembly of Chinese parts and components of the Spanish brand. Produced by the Tula plant of gas equipment.

Despite the foreign name, this is a Russian production. Geysers are produced in four series with increasing quality and complication of the unit's protection system. The most popular third series is SuperflameSF0320, Superflame SF0322 and Superflame SF0328.

Superflame SF0120 10L is a geyser of the first series. She has minimal performance. Designed for low water pressure in the apartment and in the country.

"Neva-4510"

A wide and constantly updated line of instantaneous gas water heaters under the trade brand "Neva" is produced by the Russian company BaltGaz. The manufacturer assures that its products have passed multi-stage control and meet Russian quality requirements. It gives a two-year warranty on geysers with a service life of 12 years.

Those consumers who liked the products of this company are faced with the choice of which gas column "Neva" is better. So, model 4510 is the initial version with a minimum of settings, but with a modern security system. Those who are looking for which automatic gas water heater is better will appreciate its improved versions 4510-M, 4511 with more compact dimensions, copper heat exchangers, improved thermal conductivity quality, appliances fit easily and discreetly in a kitchen cabinet.

Specifications:

• rated power 17 kW;
• water pressure at the inlet 0.10-10.0 atm.;

• no color choice.

The equipment is "sharpened" to work on a slow pressure of water. This is a definite plus for those who have to choose which gas water heater is best for an apartment. The outlet temperature indicator is convenient for mothers with small children who need to bathe daily in water of a certain temperature.

The advantage is also low cost and ease of both operation and repair. Disadvantages are typical only for specimens with marriage: electronics, automation often “fly” in them, water pressure and temperature “dance”. For high-quality such speakers, the identified shortcomings are not characteristic of their design characteristics. Firm "Neva" is one of the leaders in the domestic production of geysers.

Gorenje GWH 10 NNBW

Gorenje is the largest home appliance manufacturer in the EU. Factories are located throughout Europe. There are also representations in Russia. Gorenje is the winner in the European nomination "The most environmentally friendly company in Slovenia". The first patent was filed by Gorenje in 1959. It is a company with more than half a century of technology and quality development.

Conclusions: Judging by the quality of comments and reviews of experts who understand which gas water heater is better to use, it is worth saying that this model is the leader among all the others included in this review. There are also Chinese-made parts here, but the quality of their work does not cause any complaints in the comments. Several points of analysis allow you to use it simultaneously in the kitchen and in the bathroom.

Information is a buyer's friend

Manufacturers in the characteristics of their products describe only its advantages - appearance, power, ignition method, and others. However, they do not indicate the "thin" places of their products. The consumer, deciding which gas column is better to choose, needs mainly such information.

In the reviews of experts, it turns out that among the models at the lowest cost there are not only defective, but also quite worthy samples that are not inferior in quality to expensive devices.

The longevity of gas water heaters depends not only on their manufacturer. The user is obliged to comply with the requirements specified in the product passport. From the reviews, which gas column is better, which is worse, it is clear that cases of non-compliance by the consumer with the recommendations specified in the instructions for using the column significantly reduced the performance of the device and shortened its service life.

Which geyser is better? The reviews of experts have good advice on the rules for operating a water heater.

So, it is important where the gas column will be installed. For example, old "Soviet" apartments suffer from pressure "dancing" under hydraulic shocks. The column passport must indicate the maximum pressure for which it is designed. It is believed that 12 bar is enough for the column to withstand these water pressure drops.

For a summer residence, a gas water heater with a closed combustion chamber and a built-in fan is suitable. It is placed against the wall and has a chimney outlet to the street.

Needless to say, this equipment is not intended for installation in wet areas.

Modern gas water heaters, and even boilers, suffer from temperature drops when switching water from a tap to a shower tube. If you use the capabilities of the mixer, this will reduce the life of the column, since it is designed to adjust the temperature only on its body. Some way out of this situation would be a shower head with a lever to change the water pressure.

And yet, which gas water heater is better? Reviews of experts regarding this issue are undoubtedly important when choosing it. But in any case, the final decision is made by the buyer.
