The vertical electric dual-mode water heater is designed for small flats where there is no space for a conventional gas water heater. The space-saving design of the 25 litre unit is achieved by the low housing thickness of 23.5 cm. To make the product appear visually unobtrusive as well, a vertical orientation was chosen. The structuring of the front with the dividing line in the middle additionally ensures that the unit does not dominate the room.
Statement by the Jury
The two-part housing in dark grey with its coherently integrated control panel gives this vertical water heater a distinctly elegant appearance.
