The balance of price and quality is a criterion that combines the high functionality of the device and lower cost than analogues with the same options and parameters. At the same time, the equipment remains reliable and of high quality assembled.

The main property of functional, convenient and reliable gas equipment is ease of use. That is why only models with the function of automatically maintaining the set temperature were included in the rating of the best. Most of the presented models are equipped with electronic control, but there are representatives with a mechanical unit and flame modulation to maintain the temperature.

A prerequisite for a durable and reliable column is the presence of a copper heat exchanger.Brands implement this characteristic in different ways, using copper alloys with various additives, as well as proprietary processing technologies. But the combustion chamber for all models is open. This requires the installation of a chimney, but it reduces the risk of penetration of combustion products into the living space.

Only gas water heaters for an apartment or a private house with the best safety indicators were selected for the rating. Each of them has gas control and overheating protection, as well as some other branded technologies. And, of course, all presented devices have earned positive feedback from specialists and customers!

Top 5. Ariston Fast Evo C 14

Rating (2022): 4.10
Accounted for 83 feedback from resources: Yandex.Market, DNS, Citylink
The most productive

Ideal for a large family of 4-5 people and well provides 2 points at the same time.

  • Price: 20 999 rubles.
  • Country: Italy (made in China)
  • Productivity: 14 l/min
  • Power: 24 kW
  • Ignition: electronic
  • Dimensions (w*h*d): 37*58*23 cm, 10.2 kg

The electronically controlled Ariston Fast Evo C 14 column is included in our rating of devices that are perfectly balanced in terms of price and quality, as it has earned a lot of positive feedback from experts and owners. She managed to prove its effectiveness and a longer period of work in comparison with analogues. And most importantly - the column has several degrees of protection, including a unique technology of automatic shutdown in case of excessive water heating. The equipment is suitable for both an apartment and a private house due to its compactness and performance. But problems are not without problems, like 99% of other devices.

The most common drawback is the fluctuation of the outlet water temperature, which experts attribute to low pressure in the water supply. And, as the reviews confirm, in private houses such a violation is much less common than in apartments. Another nuance to consider is delayed ignition, which can lead to excessive fuel consumption. Otherwise, the equipment is convenient to use, it works quietly, heats water quickly and is suitable for families of 4-6 people. And, if the buyer is ready to spend time on the initial setup and connection, which is not easy for this model, then he will have a comfortable operation of the device!

Pros and cons
  • Compact size
  • Comfortable use of 2-3 water outlets
  • Very quiet operation
  • The sensor only shows the set temperature
  • Poor temperature control at low pressure
  • Slowly kindled

Column parts are inexpensive, readily available, and easy to replace.

  • Price: 13 999 rubles.
  • Country Russia
  • Productivity: 11 l/min
  • Power: 22 kW
  • Ignition: electronic
  • Dimensions (w*h*d): 550*328*210 cm, 12 kg

The Neva 4511E mechanically controlled geyser uses original developments of the company that eliminate the defects of previous models.

The column is assembled with high quality and is well suited for providing 1-2 points in an apartment or a small house.The equipment works quietly, and it is very convenient to manage it, because only 1 regulator is implemented instead of two. Good functionality and balanced cost make the column a confident participant in the ranking of the best in terms of price and quality.

Reviews of experts about it are positive: the equipment will last at least 10 years, if you pay attention to maintenance. Parts for equipment are inexpensive, they are always available on many sites and from suppliers, and it is very easy to change them. All this makes the Neva 4511E one of the best on the market.

  • There is a setting for operation on liquefied gas
  • Reduced risk of leaks
  • Ignition quickly "devours" the battery charge
  • High sensitivity of temperature controllers

Top 2. BAXI SIG-2 11i

Rating (2022): 4.39
Accounted for 89 reviews from resources: Yandex.Market, Ozon
Great model for home

The column is easy to maintain and copes with heating water for two points of intake, even at low pressure. It does not cost a lot of money and does not require attention too often. The best option for moderate consumption.

  • Price: 16 999 rubles.
  • Country: Italy
  • Productivity: 10.9 l / min
  • Power: 19 kW
  • Ignition: piezo ignition
  • Dimensions (w*h*d): 32*59*25 cm, 12 kg

Despite not the highest performance, the geyser with BAXI SIG-2 11i electronics is able to immediately provide 2 points of water intake at a moderate flow rate.Moreover, the device maintains the temperature very well and rarely causes discontent about this. Only if the water pressure in the house is really “bouncy”. Due to this, the geyser takes a place in the ranking of the best in terms of price and quality. It is reliable, relatively compact, does not require complex maintenance. Feedback from experts about her is also good.

Among the shortcomings, the fragility of the structure is often distinguished - many needed to hold on to the connecting elements. Also, the quality of the heat exchanger is doubtful, there is quite thin copper. But in practice, even with thicker metal, containers need to be replaced every 2-3 years due to burnout. In general, users like this speaker, especially for one of the lowest prices among equipment with modulation and electronic control.

Pros and cons
  • Works great at low pressure
  • Economical battery consumption
  • Efficient heating even with 2 sampling points
  • Sensitivity to fluctuations in water pressure
  • Average build quality

Top 1. Bosch WRD13-2 G23

Rating (2022): 4.45
Accounted for 103 feedback from resources: Yandex.Market, DNS, 220 volts
The best balance of price and quality

The most stable operation, confident maintenance of the set temperature and high build quality.

The most reliable column

Problems with sudden shutdowns, failures, pops and sudden disruptions in the supply of hot water are rare.

  • Price: 26 999 rubles.
  • Country: Germany (produced in Portugal)
  • Productivity: 13 l/min
  • Power: 22.6 kW
  • Ignition: turbine
  • Dimensions (w*h*d): 35*65*22 cm, 13.5 kg

Stability and reliability are the characteristics that the Bosch WRD13-2 G23 electronically controlled gas water heater deserves 100%.Although it costs a little more than the closest analogues in terms of performance, it somewhat bypasses them in functionality. Therefore, it occupies a leading position in the ranking of the best in terms of price and quality. At normal pressure, the equipment easily provides 2 points of water intake, and evenly heats it up to the desired temperature. Problems associated with poor ignition or temperature fluctuations are practically not characteristic of this model.

However, gas equipment for an apartment or house always has certain disadvantages that you have to put up with. The WRD13-2 G23 has sensitivity to low pressure and strong noise from the operation of the hydrogenerator. But the maintenance here is stable, it is enough to clean it once a year and change the heat exchanger every 3 years. Here, as in all other models, it burns out from time to time. But not every buyer does this in a timely manner and, as practice shows, for many, the first leaks appear only 4-5 years after the start of operation.

Pros and cons
  • Efficient work with 2 points of consumption
  • Neat Assembly
  • Fastest water heating
  • Large dimensions
  • Inaccurate temperature setting (±5 degrees)
