A water heater is an extremely useful thing. It is especially valuable where hot water is often turned off, and also useful in the country and in a country house. To help the buyer choose the best model, we compiled a rating of storage electric water heaters as of 2017. The top 10 is selected taking into account popularity, rating and reviews of 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 of 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 has a wall mount. With a power consumption of 1.2 kW, the device will heat its 30 liters to 50 degrees in 45 minutes.
9. Haier ES50V-R1 (H)
Average price: 8,000 rubles.
Next in the top of storage electric water heaters is another Chinese-made model. It is already a little larger (a stainless steel tank with a capacity of 50 l), and the maximum temperature is also higher - heating goes up to 75 degrees. Only a check valve (comes with a 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 plus side, you can call excellent thermal insulation and heating rate.
8. Gorenje OTG 100 SLSIMB6 / SLSIMBB6
Average price: 11 000 rubles.
We will be transported from China to Eastern Europe, where the Slovenian brothers produce water heaters (including). Specifically, the OTG 100 SLSIMB6 is a large water heater with an enameled tank 100 l more than a meter high and weighing 36 kg, so you need to think carefully about where to hang it. It comes in both radical black and classic white. Although intended for home consumption, small businesses may also find it useful. The main thing - do not forget to drain the water, if there is a danger of freezing - the enamel may 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 storage electric water heaters by a slightly higher power - instead of 1.2 kW, the VC-30L has 1.5 kW, and the upper temperature limit is 75 degrees. These 30 liters are heated to a maximum in about half an hour. True, the thermometer does not always have time to quickly respond to temperature changes 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 turn to real titanium with an enamel tank of 200 liters for a large family. Large volume, ease of management, build quality and materials - in terms of reliability, this is one of the best storage water heaters in the rating. He will save the whole family for many years during the shutdown of hot water.
5. Garanterm GTI 30-V
Average price: 10,000 rubles.
The best storage water heater, given such a parameter as shape. It is narrow enough (25.5 cm thick) so that you can hide it in a closet and not spoil the appearance of the bathroom. The tank is made of stainless steel with a volume of 30 l, and it will heat the water to a maximum temperature for about half an hour or a little more. And two temperature conditions will save energy.
Like many conditionally Russian manufacturers who buy components or entirely manufacture their devices in China, Garanterm sometimes encounters defects. Not a single buyer is safe from this.
4. Ariston ABS Shape 30 OR
Average price: 6 900 rubles.
A small compact 30 l heater with a bright and pleasing 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 is completely silent at the same time.
3. Electrolux EWH 50 Royal Silver
Average price: 15 800 rubles.
A beautiful silver-colored model with a 50-liter stainless steel tank heats all this water to a maximum temperature (75 degrees) in about an hour with 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, importantly in a bathroom, the coating is easily cleaned from spray of water and steam and looks like new.
We recommend immediately after the purchase to replace the non-return valve from the native aluminum to brass - then the water heater will last even longer.
2. Polaris FDRS-30V
Average price: 10 600 rubles.
In second place in the ranking of storage electric water heaters in terms of quality, performance and reliability is a small model with a stainless steel tank of 30 l. Heats water quickly (maximum temperature 75 degrees), you can choose two heating modes. Separately, it is worth noting a very detailed and understandable instruction, which, unfortunately, is rather rare in the Russian market.
1. Timberk SWH RED1 100V

Timberk drives are very popular in the Russian market - they are powerful, reliable and at the same time inexpensive.
