Gorenje GT 10 U

Small water heater for fast water heating

The ten-liter electric water heater Gorenje GT 10 U is designed to serve one tap in the kitchen or bathroom. Thanks to the decent power of the heating element (2000 W) and the small volume of the tank, it prepares hot water very quickly. Tap water with a temperature of 10 °C, entering the boiler, heats up to 65 °C in 20 minutes, and to the maximum possible 75 °C in 22 minutes.

Modest and tasteful

The design of the boiler is very modest and concise. Its body has an almost regular rectangular shape with slightly beveled corners. But it should be noted that the device is quite large (500x350x265 mm) by the standards of this class of water heaters, so you need to make sure that there is enough space under the sink siphon or next to it for mounting the boiler. In many photos, the case of the Gorenje GT 10 U looks light gray and matte, but in fact its surface has a white color with a glossy effect. On the front panel there is only the manufacturer's logo, an LED that lights up when the water is heated, and a round thermostat. By means of the rotary knob it is possible to set the required water heating temperature within the range from 25 °C to 75 °C. The manufacturer recommends choosing an intermediate value (indicated by the letter E), corresponding to a temperature of 55 ° C. The instruction manual for the water heater claims that in this mode, power consumption, heat loss and the rate of plaque formation on the heating element are reduced. The position of the regulator, indicated by an icon with either an asterisk or a snowflake, is used to switch the boiler to the anti-freeze mode, in which the heater will automatically maintain the temperature of the water in the tank at about 9 °C.

Economical and durable solution

Gorenje GT 10 U is considered an economical electric boiler, as it belongs to class A for energy efficiency. Thanks to a thick layer of polyurethane foam (up to 30 mm thick in some areas) between the tank and the body, the device retains heat well and, therefore, turns on less often to heat water. In addition to economy, it should be noted good protection against corrosion. The enamel coating on the inner walls of the storage tank and the magnesium anode inside it are responsible for this. The manufacturer gives a 5-year warranty for the tanks of this family of boilers.
