Hey Guys,
my 12 year old 10L Racold Geyser has just died on me,

  • looking to buy a good economic geyser.
  • I stay in a rented house so looking for something which is value for money and not to heavy on the pockets.
  • Budget around -5000-7000 INR.

Would appreciate any advise.
Thanks a lot in advance

My mom and dad..... The geyser in my parents room went kaput..... So looking to replace that.
Occasionally my sis and I might also use it.

[DOUBLEPOST=1520723079][/DOUBLEPOST]Haha... The technician has said that the tank is gone in my particular case and it's better to replace than repair to avoid further costs

Had worst experience with Crompton Greaves after changing from Good old Racold Five years ago, got Racold again after 2 yrs of using CG ( basic 25L at 8k)- very happy with it.

Wonder how that happened. My geysers are very old.

Does the water leak from it
