What is the best automatic gas water heater? A selection of the best geysers - ratings, comparisons, reviews

Geysers are universal, economical and easy-to-use instantaneous water heaters. The basic principle of their operation is the combustion of gas inside the boiler, due to which the cold water passed through the column is heated to the required temperature. Both natural gas and liquefied gas in cylinders are used as fuel. With their compact size, geysers can cope with any volume of water. This type of heating is more economical than electric heating. Our rating of the best gas water heaters 2019 will help you learn more about geysers and choose the most modern and reliable model.

In order to choose a geyser that is ideal for you and your living conditions, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the configuration and simple classification of this water heating device, indispensable for many users.

Equipment geyser includes:

If it is impossible to install a gas water heater (and this may be difficult if the apartment was not “designed” for a water heater), then the only way to use hot water is.

a connector with a chimney through which harmful combustion products and an exhaust hood exit;

• heat exchanger;
• gas and water units;
• membrane type gas valve;
• back panel and batteries;
• control panel: power (outlet temperature) and water flow regulators;
• ignition block.

Ignition type– one of the criteria for selecting columns. There are:

• manual ignition type– the column is ignited with an ordinary match.
• piezo ignition - a type of ignition that has replaced manual ignition - the mechanical appearance of a spark from which the system lights up. To supply hot water, the pilot burner must be lit continuously.
• electric ignition – ignition is carried out using an electric spark. There is no constantly burning pilot wick, which saves gas consumption.

Unlike columns with a manual activation type, to work with a column equipped with an electric or piezo ignition system, you just need to open the water, and it will do the rest for you. The high level of automation captivates many users, because using a gas water heater is no more difficult than using an ordinary electric boiler.

Power– this criterion is considered based on the number of family members and the budget you are counting on. By power they are distinguished:

• low-power speakers: 17-19 kWh – the best option for a family of up to 3 people;
• medium-power speakers: 22-24 kWh - this type will be useful for a family of 3-5 people;
• high-power speakers: 28-31 kWh - the most suitable option for a large house.

• modulation – modulating burners produce the set temperature at any water pressure.
• constant power - the temperature is adjusted in accordance with the water pressure.

Smoke exhaust- There are two main types:

• turbocharged - equipped with a fan that forcibly draws combustion products through the chimney to the street. Models with a turbocharged chimney type are safer, but noisy and expensive.
• with natural smoke removal - the process of removing combustion products occurs solely due to natural draft. Thanks to this, the work is carried out completely silently.

Of course there is a number of additional criteria, according to which the choice is made. For example this:

• safety – a dispenser is considered safe if it has more than three levels of protection (the main ones: automatic blocking when the flame goes out, cutting off the gas supply in the absence of draft and protection against overheating). Modern geysers are protected from harmful gas leaks and, especially, from explosions and fires.
• design - there is a rather unpleasant stereotype that a geyser is ugly. Most manufacturers produce stylish, modern models that are very different from the geysers produced in the USSR. A small flow column can be built into a special wall cabinet with doors. There are also models with patterns or ornaments: there are many options and you are sure to find the most suitable one for you.
• control type: mechanical or electronic. Electronic speakers are controlled using buttons or, in the most modern models, a touch screen; mechanical speakers are controlled using rotary switches. The first type is more “advanced” and is equipped with internal program memory.

Let's sum it up

Updated: August 2019

A gas water heater in an apartment or private house allows you to provide residents with hot water at any time. In addition, it makes it possible to save money, since heating occurs only as needed and paying for gas is cheaper than for hot water from a central water supply. Considering the potential danger of such equipment, the choice must be approached very responsibly. A cheap, low-quality, defective or counterfeit speaker will pose a threat not only to property, but also to people’s lives. The following is a rating of geysers in terms of reliability and quality in 2018 according to the Marka.guru portal.

To decide which geyser is better, take into account the following features of water heaters:

1. Water heater type. There are flow-through (columns) and storage (boilers). The former are compact in size, but at the same time must have high power. The second type has a storage tank, the volume of which can reach 500 liters. It is advisable to have this type in a private home.
2. Performance. The power of the column determines how much water it can pass per unit of time. On average, a productivity of 10-13 liters per minute is sufficient for an apartment.
3. Possible pressure, for which the water heater is designed. We are talking about the minimum required pressure to turn on the column, as well as the maximum that it can withstand. These indicators directly affect the reliability of the device.
4. Ignition type. Older systems use a manual or electromechanical type, while modern ones use electronic control. In this case, the power can be supplied from the electrical network, from a battery, or there can be a hydraulic generator. The latter type is rarely used due to its high cost.
5. Availability of power regulator. Allows you to change the combustion intensity depending on the water pressure.
6. Heat exchanger material. Can be steel or copper. It is better when purified copper is used, since the presence of impurities impairs heat transfer.
7. Carbon monoxide removal. It can be carried out into the chimney or through a hole in the wall to the street using forced ventilation.
8. Safety. The best geysers have various sensors and automatic shutdown systems when conditions arise that create a danger in using the device.

Conclusion

As you can see, the price range for instantaneous water heaters is very high. Typically, cheap speakers are less powerful and are designed for low water consumption. If the family is large and there is more than one water intake in the apartment, then you should choose a more expensive heater. It is difficult to talk about the advantages of any brand, since much depends on the assembly. In addition, there are often fakes or defective batches on the market, especially for well-known manufacturers.

The type of ignition is also a matter of individual preference. Automatic is convenient for most consumers, but many believe that it breaks down faster. And if the power comes from batteries and not from the mains, then there is a need for periodic replacement. But there is no need to connect the device to the network. So the final choice of a gas water heater will vary depending on preferences and conditions of use, and the rating according to the Mark.guru portal will help identify and compare the best models based on the combination of reliability and quality.

A gas water heater is a technique used to heat water in private homes and apartments. To do this, it uses natural gas, therefore it is the cheapest (in terms of operation), and therefore the most popular device in this category of household appliances. When purchasing such devices, buyers are often interested in which geyser is better. To answer this question, you need to know the possible choices and their features, and then decide on your priority parameters.

Types of gas water heaters

Some buyers often confuse gas water heaters with heating boilers. These are different things. The first ones are used for heating water for washing dishes or bathing, and the second - for the purpose of heating the home.

The principle of operation of a geyser is simple - the incoming gas burns and releases heat, which is sent to the heat exchanger, heating it. This assembly is usually made of copper or other materials with high thermal conductivity. And a coil made of the same material is twisted around it to heat up from the temperature of the heat exchanger. Cold water enters the coil and, passing through it, gradually heats up, and then goes to the tap, being already hot at the exit. As for the resulting combustion products, they enter the chimney and leave the room.

Modern geysers are divided into types according to the following criteria:

• by place of production - abroad or in Russia;
• by type of ignition: manual, automatic or semi-automatic;
• by power: low, medium and high;
• by type of control: mechanical or with flame modulation;
• by type of combustion chamber: open or closed;
• by performance: heating hot water from 5 to 25 liters per minute;
• by the number of water intake points: one or two.

Thus, there are many flow-through household speakers, so you should carefully choose a reliable and high-quality device for your home, taking into account a number of selection criteria.

Column selection criteria

Before purchasing a speaker for a private home or for a Khrushchev building, you need to decide how the equipment will be used. To do this, it is worth considering how many points you need to supply water to, what power is needed, the type of ignition and other factors.

Power

Gas water heaters are distinguished low, medium and high power. In the first case, the devices (from 9 to 20 kW) are designed to heat water for only one point. Columns of the second type (from 20 to 24 kW) make it possible to use two points at once, but for one of them the water pressure will be significantly weaker. Whereas equipment with high power (over 25 kW) is capable of supplying hot water with the same intensity to 2 points, or to 3, but with different pressure.

Advice! For a one-room apartment with one or two residents, a low-power device is sufficient. For a family of 3 people, it is better to choose a medium-power device. If there are several roommates in the house (from 4) or more than one bathroom, then you should pay attention to equipment with high power.

Arson

According to the type of ignition, geysers are divided into manual, semi-automatic (with piezo ignition) or automatic. The first ones are considered obsolete and are practically not produced today. To light them, you need to light the pilot light with a match, and then turn the knob to supply gas and ignite the burner. In semi-automatic dispensers, to ignite the gas supplied to the igniter, you need to press a button to generate a spark, and then open its supply to the burner.

Advice! During the day, the igniter of a semi-automatic water heater can be left unextinguished, which means that to heat the water you only need to open the gas supply to the burner.

Automatic dispensers use batteries for ignition, and the burner ignites when you turn the handle of the hot water tap. Manual and semi-automatic speakers are cheaper, but they need to be hung in a way that allows easy access to the device. In addition, devices with piezo ignition constantly consume small amounts of gas. Automatic gas water heaters operate completely independently, they do not require access, and there is no need for a constant ignition of the igniter.

When choosing a geyser, you should pay attention to such an important characteristic as setting the water temperature, which depends on the intensity of the flame and allows you to set and maintain the selected temperature regime. There are three types of adjustment:

• stepped, in which three modes are available: low, medium and high temperature;
• smooth, in which case the regulator gradually switches the settings from the minimum value to the maximum;
• automatic, in which the device independently determines the temperature thanks to electronic sensors.

Water pressure

In addition to external regulation, the final temperature is also affected by the water pressure. If it goes up or down, the temperature will change. In cases where the burner power does not change, you will need to set the degree of water heating manually, and this causes certain inconvenience.

Advice! When choosing, it is better to choose a column whose burner has modulating power. It independently adapts to changing pressure and maintains the set water temperature.

Depending on the exhaust system and the method of removing combustion products, water heaters can be turbocharged or with chimney outlet. The former remove smoke and burnt particles out through a hole in the wall, and the latter into a common chimney. Based on this criterion, everyone determines for themselves the preferred output method, based on the planned location of the column.

Safety

In addition to the criteria listed above, it is worth paying attention to the presence of security sensors. These include:

• combustion and ionization sensors - if the flame goes out, they shut off the gas supply;
• draft sensor - detects its presence, and if there is no draft, or carbon monoxide goes back into the room, then the flow of gas is blocked;
• hydraulic valve - turns off overheated equipment;
• flow sensor - when the tap is opened, it turns on the column, and when closed it performs the opposite action;
• safety valve - is responsible for protecting pipes from ruptures when water pressure increases;
• pressure reduction sensor - in the absence of water or low pressure, this element blocks the start of the column;
• gas supply sensor - stops the operation of the water heater if there is no gas.

Important! When choosing a geyser, you need to make sure that all the listed sensors are installed in it, otherwise its use is very dangerous for humans.

Quality Rating

When purchasing a geyser for a home or apartment, it is worth studying reviews from experts, which may also be in the form of videos with reviews of models. You can find such information on specialized forums. According to the reliability and quality rating in 2017 and 2018, the best equipment is considered to be produced by Neva, Electrolux, Mora, Zanussi, Vaillant, Bosch, Ariston, which can be purchased in Leroy or in any specialized stores.

2. The best geysers of 2018 - 2017 in the inexpensive category, in Khrushchev: Ladogaz VPG 10E - Price 8,500 rubles.

It's nice to see that domestic manufacturers are keeping up with Western competitors. The Ladogaz VPG 10E geyser is in second place in the ranking of the best geysers, thanks to the use of the most modern technologies and advanced parts. Ladogaz VPG 10E has an automatic ignition system, the operation of which is configured for water supply sensors. As soon as the pressure reaches a certain level, the wick lights up automatically. If the pressure is low, the automatic system extinguishes it and cuts off the gas supply. This guarantees the safe operation of the Ladogaz VPG 10E dispenser and eliminates gas leakage. The security system is at the highest level. This alone is enough to make a choice in favor of the Ladogaz VPG 10E gas water heater.

Many of you will say that when choosing between an imported and domestic speaker, the scales will tip towards the imported installation. Maybe you're right. But look at what the domestic Ladogaz VPG 10E offers: Economical consumption of water and gas, which leads to lower utility costs. Stable operation at low pressure, relevant in Khrushchev. Protection of the housing and internal elements from scale formation. Heat exchanger made of copper. Multi-level security system developed for Russian operating realities.

3. The best inexpensive geysers of 2018 - 2017: Neva 4510-M - Price 7,300 rubles.

The Neva 4510-M geyser is popular among Russian consumers. It is included in the category of economy class devices, but at the same time, it demonstrates effective operation of heating water. Consumer reviews are positive, which allows us to place the Neva 4510-M speaker in third place in our rating. The compact dimensions of the case allow you to install the speaker in the kitchen or bathroom without taking up extra space. Even in a limited space in a Khrushchev building, where it is difficult to turn around even without installing additional equipment, the Neva 4510-M gas water heater looks organic. The classic design of the case fits well into any interior. Decent technical characteristics and a good combination of price and quality make the Neva 4510-M speaker one of the most popular on the Russian market.

The Russian manufacturer clearly focused on the domestic audience and took into account all the nuances. The column is capable of operating at a minimum pressure of 0.15 bar, which is better than its Western counterparts. There is a two-level flame modulation system, a safety system with automatic flame shutoff and gas supply shutoff. But, with all its variety of positive qualities, the Neva 4510-M column has a significant disadvantage. It only runs on one thread. This means that if someone washes in the bathroom, then they will no longer be able to wash the dishes in the kitchen, and vice versa. Previously, this was not a problem, but with the development of modern technologies, the lack of such an option is considered a problem.

• Compact sizes fit into limited space;
• Built-in security system.

4. The best geysers of 2018 - 2017 in the supply category with one water intake: Mora Vega 10 - Price 20,000 rubles.

The Czech gas water heater Mora Vega 10 is capable of heating up to 10 liters of water per minute, and is considered the best device in the category of supply water columns. The high price is justified, because cheaper models are not able to boast of such a high-quality heat exchanger, whose weight is three times more than that of competitors. Plus, European build quality, which rarely finds any complaints from consumers. Even reviews of the Mora Vega 10 geyser testify to its quality and reliability. The manufacturer himself is responsible for the quality of the device, because all parts, working units and assemblies are created in Europe. The company does not trust Chinese manufacturers. This would significantly reduce the cost of the device, but would not guarantee reliable operation for many years. The Mora Vega 10 copper heat exchanger demonstrates the highest efficiency in its class, 92 percent. That is, all the heat generated goes into operation, which leads to a reduction in utility costs.

It’s worth telling separately about the security system of the Mora Vega 10 geyser. Mora Vega 10 is the first device that was equipped with a safety mechanism that prevents the burner flame from igniting in the absence of water. A built-in fuse prevents water from overheating. And protection against backdraft in the chimney enhances the safe characteristics of the Mora Vega 10 geyser.
