In 2000, my child was born and I bought a Haier water heater.

Used for 14 years. Nothing bad.

I moved to a new home and decided to buy a slightly larger one with an electric wall.

Without thinking about it, I just bought another Haier.

For water heaters, I believe in Haier.

Lasts forever. Neither the old one nor the current one has any leakage or other problems.

The water heater industry is quite special. To us laymen, they all look like water heaters. But in practice, the technology of each type of water heater varies greatly. In other words, if this type of water heater does well, other types of water heaters may not do well.

Take the gas water heaters and electric water heaters commonly used in our homes.

There are some brands that make home appliances (refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, etc.), and the quality of their electric water heaters is better than that of gas water heaters, such as Midea and Haier. In terms of products, if the electric water heaters they produce are considered mid- to high-end, the gas water heaters they produce can only be considered mid- to low-end – this is the limitation of industry barriers.

Other brands are made in kitchen appliances (stoves, hoods, dishwashers, etc.). These brands are relatively professional in making gas water heaters, such as Vanhe, Macro, Vantage, Sakura, etc. . Their status in the kitchen appliance industry is the same as Midea's Haier's status in the home appliance industry. Therefore, the gas water heaters produced by these brands are mid- to high-end products, while the electric water heaters produced by these brands can only be mid- to low-end.

There are also those focusing on the kitchen appliance industry, which represent the top level in the gas water heater industry, such as Rinnai, Nengli, Fotile, Bosch, etc. They are not involved in the electric water heater industry at all, and are only deeply involved in the fields of kitchen appliances and gas appliances.

Not many people focus on the electric water heater industry. After all, the range of home appliance circles is too wide. Unlike electric shock circles, there are only a few types. But there are brands that are not involved in gas water heaters, such as Sacon, Tongshuai, Siemens, etc.

There are also some special brands that don’t care about kitchen appliances or home appliances - these brands only make water heaters, and of course they make both electric and gas water heaters. Such as Ariston, A.O. Smith. The water heaters they make, whether gas or electric, are relatively high-end.

In this way, our ranking list is basically out - divided by echelon, the higher the ranking, the higher the price and quality. (The quality and price of the brands listed below are not comparable to those of other brands - of course there may be missing brands. You can simply understand them and don't take them too seriously.)

First echelon: Rinnai, Nosori, Bosch, Fotile, A.O. Smith, Ariston, etc.;

The second echelon: Vanward, Macro, Vantage, Sakura, etc.;

The third echelon: Haier, Beautiful waiting.

Which brand of water heater is better? Analysis should be carried out according to different water heater types. Currently, the main types of water heaters sold on the market include: electric water heaters, gas water heaters, solar water heaters, and air-energy water heaters.

The picture given by the questioner is of an electric water heater. Let’s start with the electric water heater. Electric water heaters are divided into water storage type and instant heating type. The water storage electric water heater heats the water in the water tank to the set temperature through the heating rod in the enamel hot water storage tank, and maintains a constant temperature. You need to wait for heating. Instant electric water heaters use high-power electric heating tubes to quickly heat running water, making the water temperature reach a temperature suitable for human body bathing. It heats immediately, no need to wait, but the power is higher.

Top ten brands of electric water heaters:

Haier, Midea, Ariston, Siemens, Altera, A.O. Smith, Vanward, Macro, Sakura, Sacon

Gas water heaters can heat instantly, are small in size, and can continuously provide hot water. In addition, if the family has heating needs, a wall-mounted heating and hot water boiler can be used, which can both heat the home and supply domestic hot water. The prerequisite for using a gas water heater is that the house must have natural gas.

A.O Smith, Rinnai, Nengsu, Haier, Midea, Macro, Vanhe, Vantage, Sakura, Ariston

Solar water heaters increase the water temperature in the water tank by absorbing solar heat, which is environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and consumes no electricity. However, solar water heaters are greatly affected by light and ambient temperature. In winter, when hot water is needed most, they cannot provide enough hot water. Moreover, high-rise buildings are not allowed to install heat collecting panels on the top floors. Only structures such as balcony wall hangings can be used. Therefore, the share of solar water heaters in the entire water heater market is not too large.

Top ten brands of household solar water heaters:

Linorite, Four Seasons Muge, Sun Rain, Brilliant, Tsinghua Sunshine, Tempu, Sanle, Yijianeng, Dikan , Huayang

Air energy water heaters heat the water tank by absorbing heat from the air. Heat pump water heaters are very energy-saving. When heating the same amount of water, their working efficiency is 4 times that of electric water heaters. However, the cost of heat pump water heaters is relatively high, and the operation efficiency will be reduced in extremely cold weather in winter.

Top ten brands of air-energy water heaters:

Gree, Midea, Guangdong Fenni Electric, Zhejiang Zhongguang Outes, Guangdong Newentai, Guangdong Tongyi Electric, Zhejiang Zhenglisheng Neng, Huatiancheng, Hangzhou Zhenxin Thermal Energy, Jiangsu Tianshu Electrical Appliances.

Gas water heaters are a relatively mature industry. They are known as the first-line imported ones such as Linnei, Nengli, AO Smith, and Dr.; domestic Macro, Vanward, Midea, Haier, Vantage, and Fotile are all pretty good. The choice depends on personal circumstances. Now, let me introduce the important functions of water heaters:

1. Safety, CO carbon monoxide emission detection. Insufficient oxygen supply can easily lead to low combustion rate, so you should choose a strong drum and strong exhaust model and be equipped with detection System

2. Intelligent constant temperature to prevent the outlet water temperature from being high and low, which affects the bathing experience. It is too hot or too cold. 3. Water tank heat exchanger. In the early days, oxygen-free copper materials were mostly used. , now there is a new stainless steel system, which is not easy to scale, and aluminum water tanks must not be used

4. The number of liters of the water tank, it is generally recommended to choose 13L or more for one kitchen and two bathrooms, which can meet the needs of both uses
