A simple model that does one single task and does it well

29 September 2020

We bought this particular model for several reasons, the price goes without saying, but a friend has had this model for more than 5 years and for all the time there were no problems with the timely replacement of the anode, it changes every 2 years. We do not set the heating to full power, somewhere at 3/4, it heats up in less than 2 hours. This model is assembled in Russia, before that there was also an ariston who worked for 14 years, the model was Italian, but now it doesn’t really matter where it is assembled. Who is confused by the inscription, do not be alarmed, this is an ariston, it is assembled in the same place as the top Velis Evo with Wi-Fi control. Before installation, I decided to check how everything is fixed and look immediately into the tank, to check if the enamel has peeled off, inside the enamel looks very good, rich blue color. The service flange is wide enough and everything can be easily removed, which is a definite plus when servicing. If any issues come up, I'll be sure to post them.

It holds water very well, like a thermos, in comparison with the Gorenje TG50 / V9 50 l boiler, this one keeps heat much longer. Included valve for protection against high pressure, written in Italian. The previous boiler was noticeably noisy, but this one is almost inaudible. The thermostat is not hidden, you can easily adjust the required temperature, there are 5 heating options. Availability of spare parts in case of breakdown.

The outer metal is quite soft, if you press it down with your hands, dents may remain, you need to be very careful during transportation and installation.
