I am using ariston storage heater. The previous also ariston storage heater, but leaked water after 5 years.

Currently using Ariston water heater (those big water storage type one )..for both bathrooms heating.

Thinking of switching to wall mounted smaller water heaters for both bathrooms.

heard 707 brand is good but I wish to know if there are other brands out there which is quite good also ...

A.O. Smith water storage user here too and had been using it for 4.5 years.

No complaints since the water pressure is strong as I got rain shower and staying at the top floor.

okay.. been thinking if need to ask them and service (if there is such a thing) to prolong the longevity.. haha

Yes, I just did the servicing last August which cost me $130

Very good, as the max temperature can be set at 75 degree Celsius if you need a very hot water shower and the water pressure is very strong even if you are using rain shower.

Not true that instant water heaters have weak water pressure. Many of the instant water heater now comes with built in water pump, it can increase the water pressure more than those from storage water heater.

My 707 Kensington 25L started to leak at the cold water inlet last week. Already used for 7 years. The leakage is very small with droplets accumulating. I thought of calling 707 customer service to quote for a repair. I suspect maybe just need to change gasket. Have been calling for past few days but no one pick up. Very bad customer service.

Where to buy this brand?

Where to buy this brand?

You can buy it online here

By the way, the price I paid was in 2019 which was during pre-covid, before inflation, etc.

So their price for 40L tank now is definitely much higher now.

Rheem storage water heater not bad also.

 

[testerjp]

I deal with boilers.
Storage heaters have more points of failure than instant heaters.

I recommend Panasonic, it has inbuilt circuit breaker.

Bought a mistral mwh-38q with elcb from shopee my for less than $50 then self installation

 

[testerjp]

Almost all the cases or fatality from instant heaters came from self installation or from inexperienced and not certified technicians.
