Many Russians have become adherents of a healthy diet. In order not to eat questionable foods, you can cook various canned foods yourself according to traditional recipes. An autoclave is considered a reliable assistant in this matter. The device is a hermetically sealed container in which excess pressure is formed when heated. This technology ensures fast cooking while retaining most of the nutrients and vitamins.

In stores you can find a wide variety of designs. Devices differ in price and capacity. And also by the method of heating. So-called gas autoclaves do not have their own heating element. They are placed on a regular stove or fire. Electric models are autonomous, since they have a heater inside and it is he who produces the heat. Such devices are convenient in that they do not need to be adjusted. Everything is done by smart electronics.

Separately, it is necessary to single out universal autoclaves that can not only sterilize cans, but also, for example, prepare moonshine. Due to the similarity of these processes, manufacturers have learned to create multifunctional models, which we will also consider in our rating.

Top 2 in 1 Autoclave Brands

According to the principle of operation, the autoclave is very similar to a moonshine still, and it would be strange if the manufacturers did not notice such a similarity. Today, there are many brands on the market that produce universal models that can not only sterilize jars, but also distill mash. In some cases, you just need to change the cover, and often even this is not required, since the device is already ready to perform both functions out of the box.

  • Popular models: Triumph, Sirius New
  • Official site: no

There is hardly a field of activity where Chinese brands would not participate. Moonshine and canning is no exception. Before us is a frankly Chinese manufacturer that manufactures products for Russia and the CIS countries. It is difficult to say something about the manufacturer itself, since there is no information on the network. Products are presented on marketplaces and are in great demand among those who are looking for an inexpensive option. The price tags here are really interesting, although if you read the reviews it becomes clear that you should not buy such a device via the Internet. Marriage is a fairly common phenomenon, and before buying it is advisable to independently check the goods for integrity and completeness. But in general, this is an inexpensive and quite acceptable autoclave that does its job perfectly.

Pros and cons
  • The most reasonable price tag
  • Simple design
  • There are many marriages
  • No manufacturer information

Top 4. Armada

Rating (2022): 4.46
Top equipment

The manufacturer uses attachments from top European brands with world fame and excellent quality.

  • Brand country: Russia
  • Year of foundation: 2018
  • Production city: Kirov
  • Popular models: Vyatka 14, Vyatka 23
  • Official site: avtoklav-vyatka.ru

The Armada company is engaged in the production and assembly of autoclaves and uses top-end equipment. In fact, the company makes only the tanks themselves, and the attached components are foreign-made, and they don’t save on them here. No mechanical thermometers with an error of 10 or more degrees. No Chinese plastic ball valves. Everything is only the most modern and reliable. Of course, this also affects the durability of the device itself.At the same time, you will not find distillers in the catalog. The company produces only a home gas autoclave Vyatka of different capacities. But it is enough to buy an inexpensive module with a distiller and a refrigerator, and now you already have a full-fledged moonshine still at the most attractive price. Well, the ease of installation of the distiller will allow you to quickly change the purpose of the equipment and not keep two bulky pans in the kitchen.

Pros and cons
  • Quality equipment
  • Thoughtful design
  • Quick distiller installation
  • Rarely found in stores
  • Not the most comfortable cover

  • Brand country: Russia
  • Year of foundation: 2012
  • Production city: Kirov
  • Popular models: Bulat Bogatyr, Slavyanka
  • Official site: helicon-prom.ru

It is no secret that many manufacturers of autoclaves and distillers are small companies that simply purchase components and assemble ready-made versions from them. In practice, this often leads to a marriage that does not depend on the brand under which the products are produced. With the Helion company, such an excuse will no longer work. This is one of the largest Russian full-cycle enterprises. That is, here the autoclave goes all the way, from metal rolling to packaging and shipment to customers. The plant is equipped with the most modern equipment and strictly monitors the quality of its products. There is even a three-year warranty covering all models of the brand. Universal autoclaves deserve special attention. They can not be called the best in terms of convenience, but they are the most reliable and durable.And thanks to the specifics of production, the company can maintain adequate prices no matter what.

Pros and cons
  • Controlled quality
  • Manufacturer's Warranty
  • Competent logistics
  • Not the most comfortable models
  • Modest external data

The Miracle brand is independent, but belongs to the Russian production association UZBI. The subsidiary specializes in the production of kitchen equipment, and has recently begun to produce autoclaves with a removable distiller and dry steamer. The idea was that in the kitchen there is often no space to store different devices. They are all large, bulky and take up a lot of space. If you combine a gas autoclave with a moonshine, it will be a good idea to save space without compromising the quality of products made in both types of equipment. It turned out great, as evidenced by the numerous reviews left by real users on marketplaces and forums. The build quality is at the highest level. However, like other products manufactured by the Chelyabinsk company UZBI, which has been making reliable autoclaves for many years and even exports them to Europe.

It is enough to install an additional module, and now your home gas autoclave turns into a full-fledged moonshine still. It is a full-fledged one, since there are dry steamers and other attributes inherent in this equipment. There is also an electric version in the company's catalog, and they practically do not differ structurally, which is also very convenient. Probably the only drawback of technology is its price. The equipment is quite expensive, but if you read the reviews, it becomes clear that the unit costs its money and fully justifies them.

Pros and cons
  • Quick module installation
  • There are electric versions
  • Convenient use
  • Relatively high prices
  • There is a marriage

    I bought a very cool autoclave from the Schnapser company. I reviewed a lot of ratings and it helped me a lot with the choice.
  2. Valery
    I also bought a Schnapser autoclave 2 weeks ago and a 2-inch Schnapser ho4 column. My wife has already preserved it 2 times, the autoclave is very convenient, we did everything according to the instructions, the stew turned out juicy and soft. I collected the moonshine still 1 time and distilled the mash, at 3 kW I overtook it quickly, the speed was 7-9 liters per hour. Distilled 33 liters in 1.5 hours. Good result
  3. Irina
    Good rating, I have a Schnapser autoclave (new in 2021) Excellent autoclave, roomy, heavy, comfortable. Good quality
  4. Autoclav
    I once had such a device from a balloon. Then I set out to buy. I have read a lot of information. The main thing here is not to make a mistake when choosing. And then if low-quality material comes across, then it is life-threatening. So the main criterion when choosing an autoclave is not the price of the device, but the assembly technology and whether the autoclave meets the declared characteristics from the manufacturer. Because it is good that such ratings exist, they are very helpful in making a choice.
  5. Vladimir
    Vyatka autoclave: after several sessions, the studs of the pressure cassettes and their wing nuts are very rusty, they are made of ferrous metal, pollute the inside of the autoclave and sterilized jars, and then the user's hands. There are no complaints about the body.
  6. Evgeniy
    Excellent rating, but for some reason there are no autoclaves from UkrPromTeh. It seems to me that these autoclaves are not inferior to the ones described above. I hope in the next rating you will take a look at the autoclaves of this manufacturer.
