Gorenje GBF 50T/V9 (358186)
 | Outdated Product The youngest model in the family of available storage water heaters with two "dry" heating elements with a total power of 1400 W. The boiler has a cylindrical shape and is mounted on the wall in a purely vertical position. The tank of the model holds 50 liters of water and is covered from the inside with heat-resistant enamel. An additional link on guard against corrosion is a magnesium anode, which must be replaced every few years. The mechanical control panel of the water heater is placed on the front panel of the case. Its assets include an LED indication of operation, but there is no temperature sensor on it. The boiler is equipped with a safety valve (drains excess water when the pressure in the system rises above the permissible limit) and overheating protection. Heating of a full ta...nk of water in it takes 2 hours 40 minutes. (up to a temperature of about 75 °C). The guarantee for integrity of the internal tank of a water heater makes 10 years.

Model overview based on user reviews
The Gorenje GBF T/V9 water heater is highly regarded for its efficient heating capabilities and energy-saving features. Users appreciate its quick heating and the convenience of its temperature sensor, which allows for easy monitoring. The model is praised for its excellent thermal insulation, keeping water hot for extended periods even when turned off. It features "dry" heating elements, which reduce scale formation and enhance reliability. However, some users note that it heats slowly, requiring advance planning. The build quality is generally seen as robust, though a few reviews mention concerns about the durability of the tank, with some experiencing leaks after several years. Despite these issues, the boiler is considered a good value for money, suitable for small to medium-sized families, and is recommended for its economical operation and reliable performance.

eco mode takes up a lot of space  Andrey B.: use Gorenje GBF 50T/V9 more than year |
People's reviews, advertising Haven't turned it on yet, but my first impression is that it's a very delicate construction. In the old house, there was the cheapest Ukrainian boiler, and all the metal parts were much sturdier and unyielding, whereas this GORENJE feels like it's made of paper. If you remove the cover where the wiring connects, the paint has already chipped off the metal plate holding the heaters, revealing metal with traces of rust. Do they assemble them rusty at the factory?))  Voha: use Gorenje GBF 50T/V9 less than month |
Made in Slovenia. The manufacturer offers a 2-year warranty on the heating element and its control system, and a 5-year warranty on the storage tank. It looks beautiful. The sleek, classic design appealed to my mom. Works efficiently. The cold water tank heats up completely, to 75 degrees, in two hours and 15 minutes. It has two heating elements, each with a power of 700 W. Moreover, the heating elements in this boiler are "dry." They do not have their own solid wall but heat the water through the wall of the enameled tank. This design is beneficial for several reasons: firstly, the heating element can be replaced without disassembling the tank, by simply removing the bottom cover; secondly, limescale does not accumulate on the heating element itself, and thus, the heat dissipation does not decrease over time; thirdly, compared to regular heating elements, these have a longer lifespan. In the circuit, these heating elements are connected in parallel, which enhances overall reliability and significantly reduces the likelihood of complete failure due to electrical reasons. In addition to reliable electrics, the boiler has protection against overheating, high pressure, and freezing. There is also a needle thermometer that very roughly indicates the water temperature in the tank. The model is generally quite simple, without any special features. But the price for it is set higher than most competing brands. In my opinion, the price is overestimated by 10-15 percent. |

50 liters is enough for two people to take a shower one after the other. If you shower quickly, it will be enough for a third person as well. For dishwashing, it's more than sufficient. It holds the temperature for a very long time, so you can safely turn it off during the day to save energy (but don't overdo it).
There is a temperature sensor, but you can only look at it once and then forget about it because the tank hangs almost at the ceiling, and it's hard to see what's displayed.
The main advantage is that you can select a lower water heating temperature. By switching the "lever" to position E (Eco-mode), the water will heat up to 55 degrees. Of course, there are pros and cons here. The pros are that less electricity will be used (hooray for savings), and the water will heat up much faster. The drawback is that not many will like the water being less hot (if you are a walrus, then this is a plus for you) - there will be less need to mix with cold water, as it's harder to warm up with this temperature in winter.
