Outdated Product
A classic model of a vertical boiler with a cylindrical enameled tank, for which the manufacturer offers a 10-year warranty. The unit is designed for installation in any habitable spaces, but thanks to its built-in frost protection function, it is better suited for country homes that are rarely visited in winter. The 80-liter tank capacity is sufficient to meet the hot water needs of a large family in the bathroom and kitchen. A pair of "dry" heating elements that make up the heating system can warm the entire volume of water to a maximum temperature of 75°C (∆t = 60°C) in about 3 hours. Economic water heating to 55°C provides an optimal balance between efficiency and energy savings, with the added bonus of the ECO mode being minimal scale formatio...n on the enamel surfaces. The tank is reliably protected from corrosion by a magnesium anode installed next to the heaters. The duration of hot water retention in the Gorenje GBF 80 UA boiler is ensured by high-quality thermal insulation of the inner tank, preventing significant heat loss.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Gorenje GBF UA boiler series, available in various capacities, has received mixed reviews from users. Many appreciate its quick heating capabilities, energy efficiency, and the durability of the dry heating elements, which prevent scale buildup and extend the lifespan. Users also highlight the simple installation process and the reliability of the mechanical thermostat. However, some have experienced issues with leaks, particularly in models manufactured in Serbia, and have noted that the temperature sensor can be inaccurate. Despite these concerns, several users report long-term satisfaction, with some units lasting over a decade without major issues. The boiler is recommended for its reasonable price-quality ratio, but potential buyers should be aware of the variability in manufacturing quality.

Actually, this is no longer the brand that I knew. I don't recommend it!
16 August 2016 
Actually, I described everything in shortcomings. Maybe I'm just unlucky. But it was in the evening, there was nothing to do: on the Internet and forums, many people have such a problem, namely, they no longer live for a long time. Maximum 2 years, after which you need to extend the warranty with cleaning from the service center, but it is not available everywhere, and this is a problem. My objective opinion is that when choosing a boiler, do not consider Gorenje.
One of the advantages is probably good heating speed. Well, it seems like the design is nothing like that
But here everything is not so sweet. Twice disappointed in this brand. The plumber said that it turns out that they have been producing in Serbia for a long time and that the quality is no longer the same as when they were produced in Slovenia. As a matter of fact, it leaked 2 times and was replaced 2 times already. Moreover, the first leaked in a month, the second in a week. Let's see what happens with the 3rd one.
use Gorenje GBF 80 UA month or more i recommend it don't buy

I bought it in a store in Eldorado for 4500, today the price has changed. The family is happy with the purchase, it quickly heats up the water + the economy will solve a useful function, so I recommend it.
Dry heating element, Power, Economical.
Too bad it doesn't come with wall mounts.

Solid low-cost boiler

An inexpensive electric boiler from the Slovenian manufacturer Gorenje GBF 80 UA received a standard cylindrical shape and is equipped with an enamelled steel tank. The device can operate under pressure in the water pipeline up to 8 bar, and at a higher pressure, a pressure reducing valve must be installed. The appliance is controlled by a mechanical thermostat, which additionally allows you to set the ECO heating mode and frost protection mode. Equipping the boiler with a safety valve will protect the tank from leakage under excessive pressure, and overheating protection prevents the unit from heating above a critical temperature, automatically turning off the device at a threshold value. Indicators of the current temperature of water heating are displayed on the arrow indicator of a bimetallic thermometer installed in the casing of the water heater.

Long term internal tank warranty

The performance of 2 "dry" heating elements with a total capacity of 2 kW and the capacity of the water heater 80 liters allow serving 2 or more points of water intake, simultaneously meeting the needs of users in the bathroom and in the kitchen. The heating time of a full tank of water to a maximum temperature of 75 °C at ∆t = 60 °C is just over 3 hours. High-quality thermal insulation of the inner tank guarantees long-term storage of hot water with daily heat losses up to 1.63 kWh. Thanks to the heating elements protected by enameled flasks, the heaters are not afraid of scale and can work even in hard water, and a long magnesium anode reliably prevents corrosion of the inner surface of the tank. The high quality of the enamel coating of the storage tank provided the tank with a long-term manufacturer's warranty — 10 years. If the family's needs for hot water are not so great, then you should pay attention to a similar model with a smaller Gorenje GBF 50 UA storage capacity.
