TOP-5 electric storage water heaters with a volume of 15 liters

The Chinese manufacturer Thermex has been supplying the market with high-quality functional heating and water heating equipment for more than half a century. Boiler Champion H-15 is a good example of a convenient and practical unit at an affordable price.

The model has an original almost square flat shape with rounded corners. Dimensions are only 39.5x37.5x34.5 cm.

The inner tank is made of steel, the outer one is made of bioglass porcelain. According to user reviews, its walls are thin and soft, so dents can appear even from minor blows. But this material retains heat well.

The anode is magnesium, the manufacturer recommends changing it once a year, otherwise the warranty will not work.

The power consumption of the boiler is 1500 W, which allows you to heat a full tank in half an hour. The temperature is regulated by a mechanical switch up to 75º C. That is, relatively warm water can be obtained in 10 – 15 minutes.

Thermex Champion H-15 is an economical solution for occasional, small amounts of hot water.

Zanussi began its history a hundred years ago in Italy. Since then, her household appliances have been distributed in many countries of the world and are very popular. Compact water heater Melody ZWH/S-15 is one of the popular products that will be useful both at work and at home.

The boiler has a square, flattened shape with oval corners and dimensions of 38.5x38.5x30.8 cm, it is mounted vertically to the wall and can be placed both above the sink and under it, depending on whether you choose a model with an eyeliner: top or bottom. The control is implemented using a 3-mode (low, eco, high) mechanical regulator, the control zone itself is decorated in bright colours (yellow, turquoise, green) and placed on the front of the body, thereby making the design of the boiler recognizable.

The inner tank is made of stainless steel and is equipped with the function of protection against scale and disinfection of water, corrosion is excluded, so the manufacturer boldly used a “wet” heating element. The outer tank is also made of steel, covered with high-quality enamel and retains heat well.

The power consumption of the boiler is 1500 watts. The maximum water temperature can reach 75º C, which is heated up in 38 minutes at maximum mode.

In addition to the thermostat and overheating protection, the boiler is equipped with a valve that will release excess water in case of overpressure.

Water heater Melody ZWH/S-15 looks good, easy to operate and compact, and thanks to the stainless steel tank will last a long time.

The Slovenian company Gorenje has been producing household appliances for many years and exporting them to different countries of the world. Products are famous for their laconic design, high-quality approach to the manufacture of parts, impeccable functionality. This is confirmed by the GT 15 U water heater.

The boiler is made in white and has a rectangular shape. Outwardly, it looks a little too big, as for a 15 liter container (dimensions 50x35x31cm). Mechanical control is implemented by a regulator on the front panel without any digital scale, that is, we set the temperature “by eye”. But there is a diode for indicating the operation of the heating element. It should only burn when the tank is heating up, but in fact, according to some consumers, it often goes out in the process. The tank is equipped with an anti-corrosion magnesium anode and covered with high-quality enamel. For long life of the heater, the manufacturer recommends servicing it every two years.

The tank is equipped with a submersible heating element consuming 2000 watts. Therefore, up to 75º C, water heats up in 33 minutes. There is an overheating protection function — the device will automatically turn off at a critical temperature. The frost protection function will also please. When turned on, the tank will maintain a temperature of 9º C.

Despite all the "goodies", the heater clearly lacks a thermometer scale to adjust the temperature and a longer power cord. 0.5 m is a clear flaw, despite the fact that the manufacturer himself in the instructions recommends using a long cord.

But, in general, Gorenje GT 15 is a practical functional equipment designed to serve without problems for more than 5 years. The brand keeps the brand, and it pleases. Not happy only with its cost.

The French company Atlantic is known throughout the world as a manufacturer of compact, high-quality and durable heating and water heating equipment. Boiler OPro Small PC 15 solves the problem of supplying hot water to any premises where there is running water and a socket, without requiring special conditions and a lot of space.

The water heater looks great in the interior of any purpose, because it is made in the classic form of a white flat cylinder with dimensions of 49.6x25.5x26.2 cm. The mechanical temperature control wheel is located either at the top or bottom of the tank, depending on the supply. The model does not have a temperature indication, so you will have to adjust the heating “by eye” and “by touch”.

The power consumption of the heating element is 2000 watts. Heating of water up to the maximum 65º C occurs within 26 minutes, provided that the temperature of the water entering the tank is not lower than 15º.

The boiler is protected from corrosion by a glass-ceramic coating of the inner tank, as well as O'PRO technology, designed to increase the performance of the magnesium anode. Apparently, thanks to these innovations, the guarantee for the tank is 5 years, and for all internal elements, including the anode — 2 years.

The water heater is equipped with an overheat protection function. With excessive pressure, the device will be saved from damage by a valve that will dump excess water.

Boiler OPro Small PC 15 will delight fans of the French brand, as well as all those who prefer fast water heating and guarantee the durability of the device.

The German company Bosch is a leader in the production of large and small household appliances. The water heater Tronic 2000 ES 015-5 M0 WIV-B implements high quality, interesting design and functionality inherent in all brand products.

The inner tank has a corrosion-resistant glass-ceramic coating and is covered with a 20mm layer of polyurethane foam insulation. The casing of the boiler is made of plastic. The mechanical control system is implemented using a thermostat operating in 4 modes: frost protection, summer, winter and maximum.

The power consumption of the heating element is 1500 W, which allows heating 15 liters of water from 15 to 70º C in 35 minutes. The manufacturer gives a guarantee for the magnesium anode for 2 years, then recommends replacing it, and for the tank itself — 5 years.

The boiler is provided with overheating protection, also in the package there is a check valve that protects against overpressure.

The Tronic 2000 ES 15 water heater is a beautiful, functional and reliable unit, but like everything from Bosch, it is expensive. Perfect for high traffic public areas.
