Reviewers review it well but it has a lot of complaints on the e-commerce platforms. Also not sure if it offers the 7+4+2 warranty that other brands do. Normally that is cut on the cheaper options.
The general recommendation is to get ones with Incoloy heating elements which I believe the cheaper ones don’t have.
Also there are service complaints with nearly all the brands but AO Smith seems to have the most and somehow manages to be noisy.
Yeah.. going through different sites and different reviews, I guess I’ll skip this. Checking the Havells Adonia Spin. Seems to come with the same 7+4+2 warranty. Other than the digital temperature display and remote control that come with the Adonia R, there seems to be no major difference between the two. Price is almost 3k lesser for the Spin.
Getting Racold CDR DLX 35L, for 9000 to 9200 offline, including free installation but will need to reconfirm. No online platform is able to beat this offer.
Any specific reason you are looking for a 35L geyser? Especially since it is a 2kW appliance, wouldn’t it take much longer to heat?
Seems it is less than 9k after bank discount on Croma and Flipkart, so not sure why you are saying the offer is unmatched.
2kW is recommended for 15l, most 25l ones step up to 3kW to retain the same heating time.
Updating the thread, I would advise everyone to stay away from IoT geysers and instead go with an offline one.
My Adonia I 25L geyser suffered with an issue in which its internal mcb tripped whenever I set its temperature above 60 Celsius. This was due to non updated firmware which became a nu-sense on its own. The service guy obviously had no clue what so ever and tried to order new MCB etc. as a replacement. But even then issue remains only to be rectified by the firmware update which was random and optional.
So my advice would be to stay away from a tech that causes more pain than gain.
I had purchased the Adonia R initially and then read more reviews where nearly all issues within 3 years came from the PCB. Switched to the Adonia Spin after that which is basic enough to not have the same issues.
But agree with your point that nearly all the IoT geysers seem to suffer from the PCB issue.
Still cant see cdr dlx <9k anywhere. Got cdr dlx plus (display meter) for 9.5k offline (incl free installation, pipes etc). Lets see if it is free-free or part free.
This will be replacing older 35 liter installed at wife+kid bath, they dont want change and want ready supply of hot water during northern winters. OTOH Crompton 25 Liter in my bath feels inadequate and in the end I have to make do with not so warm water.
Everybody uses shower so need higher capacity.
Few months ago seen on AZ, hindware Atlantic Evano 50L Horizontal 50L for around 5-6k. Did not go for it as felt some kind of scam.
Get this 50 litres water heater: Racold (PLATINUM NXT-50 V, White) on Flipkart
