V-Guard Victo 15L Storage Water Heater vs Havells Instanio 3L Instant Water Heater

V-Guard

V-Guard Victo 15L Storage Water Heater

₹8,499

A 15 litre storage heater supplies roughly two consecutive showers. This V-Guard model's 8 bar pressure rating makes it suitable for high-rise apartments, where the 6 bar rating of cheaper heaters can be exceeded.

Havells

Havells Instanio 3L Instant Water Heater

₹4,290

A 3 litre instant heater suits a kitchen sink or washbasin, not a shower. It heats on demand so there are no standing losses, but the small capacity cannot sustain the flow rate a shower needs.

Who the V-Guard Victo 15L Storage Water Heater is for

Buy it if: Apartment bathrooms serving one or two people, particularly on higher floors where water pressure is elevated.

Avoid it if: Households needing continuous hot water for three or more consecutive showers, who should size up to 25 litres.

Who the Havells Instanio 3L Instant Water Heater is for

Buy it if: Kitchen sinks and washbasins needing hot water on demand without a stored tank.

Avoid it if: Anyone needing hot water for showering, who should choose a 15 litre or larger storage heater.
