My rating of the best gas boilers in 2022 is dedicated to an overview of floor and wall models with different operating parameters from mains and liquefied gas. I made the verdict based on user reviews, so some models received ratings on Yandex. The market has a high rating, but positive recommendations for operation have not earned.
TOP-5 floor gas boilers
Lemax Gazovik AOGV-11.6
Model of the Russian manufacturer. Simple structure, operation without power connection, with protection system, with compact dimensions. The price is 14500 rubles.
Pros:
- Extended power range — 6–29 kW.
- Non-volatile, without connection to the mains.
- Equipped with original components of the gas burner device, gas valve of the Italian concern SIT, Polidoro injection microtorch burner.
- Protection against draft overheating, soot formation, boiler blowing.
- Convenient maintenance and cleaning. Removable cladding elements, professional equipment, removable top panel.
- Increased primary and secondary air flow.
Minuses:
- Mechanical control, not touch, as in Protherm Bear 40 KLOM.
- Steel rather than cast iron body as in the BAXI SLIM 1.490iN.
- Low efficiency 87%.
Verdict. Easy to operate, install, maintain gas boiler. The compact dimensions will allow you to install in a limited space of a boiler room or kitchen. Heats the coolant up to a maximum temperature of 900as well as the second model of the brand — Lemax Premium-10.
TOP-5 wall-mounted gas boilers
Bosch Gaz 6000 W WBN 6000-24 C
Model for space heating up to 240 m2 and providing hot water when connecting an indirect heating boiler. Works stably with pressure drop in the system of both gas and water. The price is 29500 rubles.
Pros:
- It is economic, can work at the lowered pressure of gas.
- Easy installation and maintenance.
- Quiet — less than 38 dB.
- Copper primary heat exchanger, as in Buderus Logamax U072-24K.
- Automatic ignition, self-diagnosis.
- Protection against freezing, overheating and blocking of the pump.
- The large volume of the expansion tank is 8 liters, which is more than in the Vaillant turboFIT VUW 242/5-2.
- Easy access to modules.
- Thermally insulated body covers.
- Information LCD display with display of parameters or failures.
Minuses:
- Users write that they often give an EA error. Services are powerless to help. But on the forum they write that this sensor does not see the flame. It is necessary to ground the case and get rid of static electricity.
- In the differential relay, the pipes accumulate condensate, the boiler is turned off.
Verdict. A good inexpensive boiler, heats up a large area, can be installed in any room for private, residential, domestic needs. Quickly warms up the system, heats the water for use. Compact. Can be used for batteries and underfloor heating at the same time. Works from the main and liquefied gas, as BAXI ECO-4s 24F.

Buderus Logamax U072-24K
Model for heating and hot water supply for use with a built-in plate heat exchanger, with automatic control to adjust the operation to different conditions and systems. The price is 30400 rubles.
Pros:
- Resistant to voltage drops, operating range — 165–240 V.
- Designed to work with hard water (up to 16 dGH).
- As in Bosch Gaz 6000 W WBN 6000-24 C, information is displayed.
- Built-in frost protection, pump anti-blocking, 3 bar safety valve, flame detector, temperature limiter.
- Noise is lower than in Bosch Gaz 6000 W WBN 6000-24 C — up to 36 dB.
- Three-way diverter valve with self-adjusting bypass.
Minuses:
- As in the Bosch Gaz 6000 W WBN 6000-24 C, it starts to give an error due to a voltage drop and improper grounding.
- The model has a problem node — a completely plastic (even a ball inside) make-up tap. When it breaks down after 1–3 years, they will replace it with the same relative for 3–4 thousand, while others do not fit.
Verdict. According to reviews, the model has the same problems as in the Bosch Gaz 6000 W WBN 6000-24 C. Power surges or grounding lead to a stable error on the monitor. Half of the users believe that the boiler is not worth the money, they advise buying Vaillant turboFIT VUW 242/5-2, in which such problems are solved in a civilized manner by the service department, and errors themselves rarely happen.
BAXI ECO-4s 24F
Compact dimensions, full adaptation of the model to the specifics of Russian production lines, climatic conditions. Stable operation at low gas pressure, during power surges, enhanced coolant circulation at low temperatures. The price is 34 thousand rubles.
Pros:
- High efficiency — 92.9%.
- The maximum coolant temperature is 850which is higher than in Bosch Gaz 6000 W WBN 6000-24 C or in Viessmann Vitopend 100-W A1JB010.
- Modern protection against overheating, freezing, anti-blocking is similar to other rating models, for example, Buderus Logamax U072-24K.
- Simple, affordable work management.
- Fully automated mode of operation.
Minuses:
- High price of spare parts.
- You need a voltage stabilizer.
- Filters are needed to soften hard water.
Verdict. The model is designed for residential, industrial and office premises. According to reviews, the manufacturer did not fully adapt the model to Russian conditions. Many people buy additional stabilizers, complain about the need to “pierce the heat exchanger pipes” from hardness salts. The same Bosch Gaz 6000 W WBN 6000-24 C runs on hard water without problems.

Vaillant turboFIT VUW 242/5-2
The German brand supplies a model with a turbocharged dual-circuit functionality, forced exhaust removal, with a built-in three-stage circulation pump, with manual stage switching. The price is 36900 rubles.
Pros:
- High efficiency — 93.5%.
- Forced removal of combustion products to the original smoke exhaust system.
- Can be installed in residential areas.
- Adjustable to partial power in heating mode from 70 to 100%.
- In ignition mode, power correction is 30–60% of the maximum heating setting.

- Information display with error output, as in BAXI ECO-4s 24F.
- As in Buderus Logamax U072-24K, weather control.
- Two diameters of the coaxial chimney.
Minuses:
- Very expensive to maintain. Spare parts — from 5 thousand rubles.
- Setting the room temperature sensor — only through service workers, you can’t set it up yourself, complete insanity (according to reviews), which is not in either the BAXI ECO-4s 24F or the Buderus Logamax U072-24K.
Verdict. An excellent boiler in terms of build quality and adaptation to changes in technological lines. Quickly heats rooms, hot water instantly heats water. Can be installed in «green» areas, according to the type of environmental friendliness, it belongs to the highest class due to the smoke extraction and retention system. The downside, as in the previous BAXI ECO-4s 24F model, is expensive maintenance, the high price of consumables and spare parts.
Viessmann Vitopend 100-W A1JB010
Boiler with built-in weather-dependent automatics, with programming of work by days of the week, improved design of the chimney. The price is 41300 rubles.
Pros:
- White backlit digital display.
- Weather automatic.
- Electronic control with programmer.
- Easy access to all nodes and parts.
Minuses:
- Long delay (5-7 seconds) until hot water is dispensed.
- Incorrect DHW algorithm, draft in the chimney supplies gas for 2-3 seconds, so water is supplied with a temperature of 25 to 500unpleasant to take a shower, but you can not reconfigure.
Verdict. The model, judging by the majority of reviews, is not worth «their» money. The filling is outdated gas valves and three-way assemblies. Unreliable Deshman control board, terrible operation algorithm. If you choose a «German», then it is better to take the most reliable and proven Bosch Gaz 6000 W WBN 6000-24 C.
