How to choose a good heated washbasin?
To buy a washbasin, which will serve you for many years, you need to think carefully
First of all, the quality of the materials used. If it's metal or plastic, bend under the pressure. The cupboards from the chipboard must be laminated so that the wood plate does not spoil from moisture. The sink may be plastic, but it is better to choose models with stainless steel.
Next - pay attention to the volume of the tank. If you live in a dacha with the whole family, then it is desirable to have a reservoir of 20-30 liters. But for a summer resident alone 10 liters is enough.
Carefully study the heating element. He should not hang out in the nest, but be well fixed. Also, its power is of no small importance, the time of heating will depend on this. At the same time, slower heating elements are more economical in terms of electricity consumption.
