In the coming days, annual preventive work on heating and water supply networks will begin. For us, this means another two weeks without hot water. Some people will use teapots and basins out of habit. And someone will act smarter and finally install a water heater or gas water heater at home. If your apartment does not yet have this simple and wonderful device, we will help you make a choice.
Before buying an imported device (most often it is not imported at all, but assembled from components and spare parts of Chinese origin), weigh all the pros and cons. Russian-made geysers are much cheaper and easier to repair, despite the fact that the quality of imported and Russian water heaters is almost the same. Replacing a heat exchanger for an imported dispenser will cost between 7-9 thousand rubles, buying a new dispenser will cost about 10-17 thousand rubles. At the same time, the average cost of a Russian pump is 8-10 thousand rubles.
Russian manufacturers produce devices designed for local conditions of nominal gas pressure and quality. The operation of the water heater is also configured for the lower pressure threshold in the water supply pipes. The device turns on and operates smoothly at a pressure of 0.1 bar. This is a decisive moment for operating a gas water heater in places with constant low water pressure. The operation of similar imported water heaters is almost impossible.
To repair and service Russian geysers, a network of authorized service centers operates throughout Russia. For buyers, this provides a little and a lot, namely: prompt, high-quality, inexpensive warranty and post-warranty service and repairs.
Tenth place
Tenth place is occupied by Vega 50ac 106 . Vega 50ac 106 – good acoustics. Interesting floor-standing speakers with very decent sound, if you are not an audiophile with excellent hearing. Appearance - three-stripe, from the S90 squad. On the front side there is a black plastic insert, the midrange and woofer are covered with a metal mesh, but the tweeter is not covered at all. The acoustics also have two bass reflex ports. Vega 50ac 106 will be able to outshine many foreign speakers in the more expensive Hi-Fi price category.
Buyers' choice: coaxial speakers from 1500 to 3000 rubles, October 2022 - February 2022
Time flies with music, 2022 has arrived and with it the next TOP of the best-selling coaxial speakers from 1,500 to 3,000 rubles has arrived. In this price range you can find the brightest budget models and the simplest speakers, which fall just short of the premium segment.
Pioneer products traditionally lead the ranking. Speakers from JBL are persistently breathing down the competitor's back, trying to win the first place on the podium. There were no newcomers who appeared on the horizon relatively recently either. Dexp is trying to attract buyers with price, without forgetting about quality. In general, the rating, like the music flowing from the presented speakers, turned out to be balanced.
5th place
The first position from the end was taken by the oval speaker model Dexp FC 3690 with an original design. Inexpensive, reliable speakers can easily become a replacement for standard acoustics. The product received two speakers with a nominal power of 25 watts and a maximum power of 220 watts. The modest volume power is compensated by three-band sound - high, mid and low frequencies.
The speakers installed in the cabin allow you to enjoy compositions ranging from electronic music to rock. Cone-shaped diffusers are made of IMPP material, suspensions are rubber. 8 corners are used for fastening; bolts and nuts are included. The diameter of the speaker is 16 cm by 24 cm. In the comments, car enthusiasts note the lack of bass; perhaps this is the only drawback.
4th place
The JBL STAGE 9603E two-way coaxial speaker produces 70 watts of rated power and hits the ears with a 210-watt hammer when an amplifier is connected. This is the most expensive of all the speakers presented in the rating and the only one in the price category up to 3,000 rubles that is capable of producing high-quality bass. STAGE 9603E is an excellent choice for those who do not want to install a subwoofer in their car.
The column has an oval shape - 150 by 230 millimeters, with a planting depth of 74 millimeters. It is easily mounted in front or rear doors, on a shelf, fastening is four bolts. Both speakers are raised above the steel basket and located at different heights; they are protected from damage by the hard mesh included in the kit. Diffusers are made of polypropylene.
Unfortunately, the kit does not include wires or terminals, only fasteners. Sensitivity - 92 decibels, minimum frequency 45 hertz, maximum - 20,000 hertz. To obtain high-quality and surround sound, you need to pump up the speakers. Judging by user reviews, the “pumping” process will take 12-20 hours.
3rd place
The middle of the hit parade was taken by the musical pancake speaker JBL Stage 602E . The speaker belongs to the budget series, designed to enhance standard acoustics. The product has two two-way speakers with a power of 45 to 135 watts and a sound frequency ranging from 55 to 20,000 hertz. Plastic standard diffusers from JBL traditionally produce high-quality bass. Coaxial plays well at mid and high frequencies.
The packaging is high quality - thick cardboard, screws included, and a solid protective mesh. The diameter of the column is 16.5 centimeters, the diameter of the mounting hole is 14.5 centimeters, the seating depth is 59 millimeters, the assembly is good. You can attach it however God pleases - there are a large number of holes around the entire perimeter.
Buyers who are not accustomed to the traditional package of budget speakers from JBL most often complain about the lack of wires included in the package. The cost of the product generally corresponds to its quality.
2nd place
The first two places were taken by a brand that has been present on the automotive market for several decades. The gear-like speaker speaker Pioneer TS-G1720F received 2 speakers, protected from damage by metallized strips. High-quality surround sound is not inferior to premium samples. These speakers will be a worthy replacement for the factory speakers installed in the car. If you additionally connect a proprietary player from Pioneer, the coaxial speaker will play any melody without distortion.
The kit includes a set of bolts and brackets, a soft mesh. In the packaging of the Japanese company's products, unlike Chinese manufacturers, you can always find wires long enough to connect to an amplifier or music player. The planting depth is almost 50 millimeters, the diameter is 170 millimeters.
The rated power of bipolar speakers of 40 watts can be increased to 300 watts. Frequency from 36 to 18,900 hertz. This speaker has the highest sensitivity in the top - 99 decibels, which allows it to produce excellent high and mid tones, as well as good bass. Of course, to get high-quality sound, it’s a good idea to play your favorite playlist at high volume to shake up the diffusers a little.
Ninth place
In ninth place is the Corvette 35ac 208 acoustics . Acoustics Corvette 35ac 208 is considered one of the best systems produced in the Soviet Union in the 35ac class. A pair of these systems weighs approximately 72 -75 kg. The design of the case - by the way, is covered with very good veneer. For those who don't know, this thin layer of wood is an expensive cladding material. It has an almost burgundy color.
In general, the speakers turned out to be very dark, matching the interior with dark laminate or parquet. The large mass of the Corvette acoustic body does not allow it to vibrate much during speaker operation, so all unnecessary sounds emanating from the speaker diffuser immediately disappear. Now we move on to talking about sound.
The sound of the Corvette acoustics is very high quality, clear at absolutely any volume. These systems cannot be listened to in small rooms, but rather in a large room. The sound is soft - high tones do not hurt the ears even at high volumes. Corvette speakers will appeal to both lovers of classical music and rock, jazz, and blues. Music lovers will be delighted with the sound of these systems.
Water heater Ladogaz VPG 10A - a reliable and simple model
Gas water heaters of the Ladogaz brand are perfectly adapted to Russian operating realities. The devices of this brand use all the best domestic achievements in the production of thermal equipment, plus European technological systems for safe operation and automation.
The Ladogaz VPG 10A geyser is equipped with automatic ignition and has four-level protection. The device is easy to operate, there is no igniter in the design, this feature significantly increases safety during operation.
In order to get hot water, you just need to turn on the water valve. The column automatically turns on and heats the water. If hotter water is required, simply reduce the pressure of the supplied water and turn on the hot water tap. In other words, the user does not need to go to the water heater and change the heating temperature.
The operation of the geyser is controlled by an electronic unit and a microswitch; it is activated when water enters. It is important to note that the heat exchanger is made of thick copper alloy sheet. Also, all parts that have contact with the aquatic environment are copper. This increases service life and prevents corrosion.
The line of water heaters of the Ladogaz brand currently produces five standard sizes of geysers with a capacity from 6 to 16 liters per minute. Choose the model that best suits your family's needs and takes into account the water pressure in the system.
I found the receipts :) We changed the column about 3 years ago, took a long time to choose and came to the conclusion that we should buy it in specialized offices, and not in stores with household appliances. We bought – “Gas water heater BOSCH WR 13G”, manufactured by JUNKERS Bosch Gruppe Germany. It cost 10,200 rubles then, but there were cheaper ones depending on the functions. This one ignites under the pressure of water, but there are those with a wick that burns all the time, like on our old speakers. The technician who installed it said that it was the best choice among household ones.
