Electrolux EWH 80 Formax
 | Outdated Product An elegant, energy-efficient and reliable storage water heater with an enameled tank with a volume of 80 liters, a pair of "dry" heating elements and an intuitive electromechanical control system. The manufacturer is positioned as a model of the upper price category, which is designed to serve the hot water needs of a small family of 2-3 people. Mounted vertically on the wall, it can work for several points of analysis, simultaneously supplying the bathroom, shower room and kitchen. Unlike most low-cost models with cylindrical tanks, this unit uses a flat design tank, which provides a shallower cabinet depth for installation in rooms with limited free space. The rotary mechanical switch allows you to step-by-step adjust the power of the heating elements (800/1200/2000 W), to...increase the heating rate or improve energy efficiency. At the highest possible power, it takes less than 3 hours to heat 80 liters of water from 20 to 75 °C. ECO mode is supported with a maximum temperature of 55 °C to reduce heat loss and minimize scale formation. The durable enameled inner tank is additionally protected against corrosion by a large sacrificial magnesium anode. Protection against overpressure, overheating and current leakage is provided (residual shutdown device that de-energizes the water heater when voltage hits the steel case). |

Model overview based on user reviews
The Electrolux EWH Formax series offers a range of water heaters that are praised for their compact design, ease of use, and reliable thermal insulation. Users appreciate the simple operation and energy-saving features, such as adjustable heating modes and dry heating elements, which are less prone to corrosion. However, several reviews highlight concerns about the durability of the heating elements, with some users experiencing leaks or failures within months of use. The long heating time is another common drawback, with full tanks taking over three hours to heat. While some users report excellent long-term performance, others have faced issues with tank ruptures and frequent maintenance needs. Overall, the Electrolux EWH Formax is considered a stylish and functional choice for those seeking a compact and efficient water heater, but potential buyers should be aware of the mixed feedback regarding its longevity and heating efficiency.

compactness, design, thermal insulation, simple operation after 5 months, the water began to take longer to heat up and, as a result, after another two months the heating element burned out |
On the eve of the summer season of turning off hot water, I took care of buying a high-quality boiler. I took an 80-liter Electrolux, because the brand is well-known, although not cheap. It works almost silently and gives a lot of water. True, a completely cold tank heats up for a long time, but the situation when you need to heat it completely from scratch does not happen so often. You can adjust the power of the heaters. The choice is small - 800 or 1200 W, but it is there and this cannot but rejoice. When I am alone at home or when the boiler is in standby mode, I turn on the power of 800 watts. This saves energy and reduces the load on the power grid. Again, when there is no need for a large amount of hot water, you can use the built-in economy mode. Then the temperature of the water in the tank will not exceed 55 degrees and the power consumption will drop even more. But you need to understand that for a shower for two, water heated in an economical mode is just enough. Simple control. Everything is in order with safety - there are three levels of protection for the water heater: from high pressure, from overheating and switching on a dry tank. Long water heating. A full cold tank heats up to a maximum of more than three hours. Even for a 100-liter model, this is far from a brilliant indicator, and even more so for an 80-liter one. It is clear that this was done in order to save electricity and reduce the formation of scale, but still - making the client wait for more than three hours is not a good idea. In my opinion, the price is somewhat too high. |
Works for more than 3 years 3 heating modes. Dry elements, haven't replaced them yet. Not mentioning  Ilia Filimonov: use Electrolux EWH 80 Formax more than year |
