TOP-4 inexpensive electric stoves with enamelled surface
Enamelled electric stoves are cheap. The coating is resistant, several colors, unpretentious in care. But various contaminants adhere well to the enamel, and during operation it becomes covered with small scratches.
Flama CE3201-W
Opens the Flama CE3201-W rating with two burners and a 4L oven with a maximum temperature of 280°C. It has 4 modes of operation. Power can be adjusted with rotary switches. A drawer for dishes is provided.
low price – only 6700 rubles;
compact – 50 × 85 × 36 cm.
unreliable design of the Russian assembly. Some users note that the stove creaks and staggers. The seal on the dish storage compartment quickly leaves;
bad oven. It provides a stepwise choice of temperatures.
Flama CE3201-W is a simple compact model. The burners heat up quickly, all modes work fine. The oven is suitable for baking vegetables, meat, fish. But for baking cakes and pastries, it is unsuitable, since it is possible to set the temperature on it to either 200 ° C or 280 ° C. Because of this, the baked goods remain raw inside or burn. Therefore, for its preparation, it is better to take DARINA S EM 521 404 W, which will be discussed further in our rating. According to reviews, it evenly bakes the dough.
DARINA S EM 521 404 W
Another budget sample is DARINA S EM 521 404 W with two cast-iron burners that operate in 6 modes. Rotary switches are used to switch them. The oven has a volume of 45 liters. Its maximum heating is 270 °C. The oven door is made of simple double glass.
economical energy consumption. One burner consumes 1 kW.
no light bulb in the oven;
sharp legs with a small area leave dents on soft flooring.
DARINA S EM 521 404 W is an ordinary good stove for little money – 7550 rubles. It does not have any modern features, such as a timer, but it is enough for daily use by a small family. For a large family, De Luxe 5004.12e black with 4 burners is optimal.
De Luxe 5004.12
Electric stove De Luxe 5004.12e in black, dimensions – 50 × 85 × 50 cm. It is equipped with 4 burners of different diameters and power. The oven has a volume of 43 liters. Mechanical control. The price of the model is 8350 rubles.
understandable management. There is a temperature graduation on the oven handle;
good oven. It evenly heats food from above and below.
burners are very close to each other. Because of this, it is difficult to use medium-sized dishes at the same time;
low quality of the Russian assembly.
The De Luxe 5004.12e model is a compact full-fledged stove. Fits in a small kitchen, will help to prepare food for a large family. But its quality is questionable. During operation, the heating elements fail, the protective coating of the burners flies around. Therefore, it is better to overpay a little and take Belarusian-made GEFEST 5140 0031.
GEFEST 5140 0031
The stove has earned the “Customers’ Choice” mark on Yandex. Market. It has 3 burners of different diameters, a spacious oven for 52 liters. The oven is equipped with stamped guides that can withstand heavy baking sheets and lighting. The case for storage of utensils is mounted in the case.
burners heat up very quickly;
convenient management. There are mechanical power switches and clear markings;
functionality. There are 6 operating modes.
short network cable;
narrow back apron. It does not protect the wall well from pollution;
inconvenient drawer for storing utensils. It has no bottom, all items are stacked on the floor.
GEFEST 5140 0031 for 11,500 rubles of Belarusian production is distinguished by reliability, simplicity and functionality. The presence of three rather than four burners seems strange. However, in real life, rarely does anyone turn on more than two at the same time. Burners of different diameters and power in order to rationally use electrical energy. The oven is standard, it does not have a grill or convection. But unlike the Flama CE3201-W model, it is suitable for baking. It provides 5 levels of installation of the baking sheet.
TOP-6 electric stoves with glass-ceramic surface
Glass-ceramic plates differ from others with a smooth and mirror surface. Glass ceramics, despite the apparent fragility, has high strength, is not afraid of mechanical stress, quickly and evenly distributes heat over the working area.
DARINA 1B EC331 606W
The classic model in white for 13,700 rubles. Worktop with three burners of different power. There is a residual heat indicator.
The oven has four operating modes. It has a unique thermal insulation, which creates the effect of a thermos, saves energy consumption.
burners heat up quickly;
economical energy consumption;
There is a residual heat indicator.
The oven does not operate at the correct temperature.
DARINA 1B EC331 606 W is an economical stove option. The customer gets a panel with residual heat indicators and fast heating, a double glazed oven and a stylish design. But there are complaints about the operation of the oven: it takes more time to cook the dish than usual. If you plan to use the oven often, then it is better to buy Beko FCS 47002 W, which quickly raises the temperature required for baking.
TOP 5 desktop electric stoves
A desktop electric stove is very useful in the country, in a student dormitory or at home, if the gas is suddenly turned off. Such a portable device is compact, equipped with powerful burners, has a wide range of functions.
Galaxy GL3054
Electric cooker Galaxy GL3054 consists of one burner with a diameter of 16.5 cm and a glass-ceramic hob. Power – 2 kW. Management – using buttons and a timer. 7 automatic cooking modes. There is protection against overheating.
affordable price – 1900 rubles;
compactness. The dimensions of the tiles are 5×30×36 cm, and the weight is 1.7 kg;
anti-slip feet;
high heating rate of the burner.
small burner diameter. If you put a large frying pan or pot on it, it gives an error;
large power step.
Desktop cooker Galaxy GL3054 is a good solution for summer cottages. It is not suitable for everyday cooking. Firstly, the modes are designed for complete cooking cycles with automatic shutdown. Secondly, the power step is too large. The next model from our rating, Kitfort KT-107, has the same problem.
Kitfort KT-107
Electric stove Kitfort KT-107 with one induction burner. It has a safety shutdown feature that trips when it overheats. Automatic dish detection. The panel is made of glass-ceramic. The control is carried out by tact switches. In total, the stove has 8 power levels.
withstands loads up to 10 kg;
convenient, clear control. The control panel has buttons and LED indicators;
heats up quickly;
a large selection of basic functions.
power step – 300. Because of this, it is difficult to cook some dishes;
makes an unpleasant electrical noise during operation;
no power off button. The maximum heating power does not correspond to the nominal value. 1800W tiles = 1300W electrical;
fastidiousness to dishes: it is necessary from a ferromagnetic material.
The Kitfort KT-107 induction cooker is modern, budget (its price is 2400 rubles), easy to operate. It takes up very little space, so it can be easily hidden in a closet. Of course, it will not work to cook constantly on it, since the middle of the pan heats up very much, and the edges remain cold. You need to buy special dishes. In order not to do this, it is better to immediately overpay a little and buy an ENDEVER DP-43 tile. You can use any pans and pots with it.
ENDEVER DP-43
Electric stove with one burner with a power of 2 kW. The panel is made of glass-ceramic. Touch control. There is a display that shows the selected parameters. There are functions of the timer, blocking of management. There are 7 basic cooking modes.
high quality ceramic heater. Thanks to this spiral element, cooking is fast;
the optimal size of the hob is 26 cm;
you can use dishes from any materials, and not just from ferromagnetic;
smooth transition of power between programs.
short network cable. The stove must be installed near the outlet;
noisy fan.
For 2750 rubles, the ENDEVER DP-43 stove justifies all operational expectations. Even the steak on it turns out to be excellent, not like an ordinary scrambled egg. Perhaps this is due to the smooth adjustment of power. For example, the first stove from our Galaxy GL3054 rating has a large power step, so dishes often burn.
GEFEST PE 720
Electric hob GEFEST PE 720 with two burners of different diameters. It has an enamel finish. Mechanical type control – rotary switches. The power consumption of the stove is 2700 watts.
heats up quickly;
compact. Dimensions – 50 × 34.5 × 9 cm.
uncomfortable management. The model is equipped with turn signals: they must be installed in the desired position according to the markings;
traditional design. The style of the stove is irrelevant for modern kitchens.
The GEFEST PE 720 panel will replace a conventional electric stove, as it has two burners. It quickly and evenly heats the dishes. However, compared to the ENDEVER DP-43 model, it is outdated. This also applies to functionality. No cooking modes, timer. Power can be adjusted with knobs, but the markings are hard to see. The design also leaves much to be desired. 3 thousand rubles for such equipment is a little expensive.
Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker
The Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker induction cooker is made of white glossy plastic. The price is 4,500 rubles. The working surface is a circle of tempered glass, in the center of which is a thermometer showing its exact temperature.
The tile can be controlled both manually (there are two touch buttons. A rotary knob with a display button) and through the application (from a smartphone or other mobile device). Five operating modes are provided.
control via smartphone is possible;
accurate temperature control;
uniform heating of the burner;
the ability to create your own programs / modes.
Difficulty connecting to a Wi-Fi network;
the Mi application is “raw”;
does not handle high temperatures well.
If the GEFEST PE 720 stove can be called outdated, then Xiaomi Mijia Mi Home Induction Cooker is a modern technique for advanced users. It can be recommended for cooking any dishes. It is convenient to use it: you can control it from your smartphone, however, the application is only available in Chinese.
In this ranking, I have collected the 21 best Smartwatches and bracelets of 2022. If you choose a smart watch in the segment under 10 thousand rubles, then be prepared for the fact that this is just a fitness bracelet in a watch case, do not expect a large set of functions from them. Calling cheap SMART watches watches is just a marketing ploy, in terms of functionality they are not far from fitness bracelets.
Decide first what you expect from the functionality – training tracking, sleep quality, etc.? Then look at the category of fitness bracelets: they also receive notifications from the phone and display them, show the time, date, some even the weather forecast, but the price tag is 3 times lower. If the watch should replace a smartphone and make it possible to take it out of your pocket less, then you are in the category of “smart” watches, but choose from 10 thousand so as not to be disappointed in the functionality.
Children’s watches completely replace the phone, allow you to contact the child, track his location, but most gadgets do not have high autonomy. And the price for them is lower than for adult “smart” watches. We will go through the details of the models and their features further in the review.
Table of participants in the ranking of the best smart watches and fitness bracelets of 2022
screen functions: touch screen, screen presence, screen always on
heart rate monitor: built-in
Opens its most affordable option – Xiaomi Mi Watch. The model of the Chinese brand, worthy of competing with European and American counterparts. Based on the assembly materials, it is obvious that they belong to state employees. The case is made of plastic (blue, white and black), and the silicone strap of similar colors looks cheap. AMOLED display with a diagonal of 1.39 inches is hidden behind curved Gorilla Glass 3, on the contrary, high-quality – will please with high resolution, excellent brightness level and perfect color reproduction. There is an automatic brightness adjustment and the Always-On function – the backlight is always active. The choice of dials is huge, you can expand the list with third-party ones.
Initial setup is easiest to do from a smartphone. In the future, from the application, you can control some functions, upload and analyze the details of training. 117 activities available, including swimming (WR50 waterproof rating). Supports GPS tracking. Mode selection – the lower button on the case, the upper one returns the user to “home”. Basic functionality is available: weather forecast, health monitoring, you can receive notifications from instant messengers, but you cannot respond to them.
In terms of autonomy, the watch outperforms many competitors. Claimed up to 20 days of work. On average, charging lasts for 7-10 days, with the most intense load – for 2-3. If you want to extend your battery life, don’t install bright colored watch faces. Due to the peculiarities of the matrix, they significantly increase the load on the battery.

The strap looks cheap, a bit short for a thick hand.
The case is made of plastic, collects scratches.
2 levels of illumination.
The case glass protrudes beyond the limits – it can be damaged.
Single-tasking, when performing one mode, the other should be abandoned.
It is inconvenient to read notifications – they are not displayed completely, media files do not open.
Cannot answer call or message.
No NFC.
There is no normal working software – the meager functionality of the companion application.
Sensors are not always correct.
. Unlike most competitors in the rating, the model does not have its own OS and is completely dependent on a smartphone – the watch cannot play music itself, nor can it install additional applications. 86% of Yandex Market users recommend the model. Taking into account the price tag and good opportunities in terms of monitoring the user’s health, we consider it worthy of the 6th place in the rating. The key difference from Amazfit GTR 3 is its own OS, which brought it to the 5th line. In terms of functionality, they do not win significantly.
Fifth place goes to Amazfit GTR 3. Xiaomi sub-brand watches have been on the market since last fall. The design is reminiscent of Xiaomi Mi Watch – the same dimensions, a similar AMOLED display with a protruding 3D glass without a bezel. Functional buttons are visually different – they are made in the form of a classic adjustment wheel for ordinary mechanical watches, interchangeable with the sensor: everything that rotates and switches on it using swipes can be switched by turning the wheel. There is a difference in the material: Amazfit GTR 3 is made of aircraft-grade aluminum. Visually different animations when changing the screen. There is also a difference in the straps: you can choose silicone or rubber in black or gray.
Functionally added voice control (not yet available in Russian). The rest is similar except for the nuances of configuration and access. The number of types of physical activity has been increased to 150 (most of them are not used by users in practice), and some also work incorrectly. Unlike a competitor, the model is equipped with its own Zip OS. This provides multitasking, the ability to run multiple applications at the same time. Autonomy is stated up to 21 days. With an average load, the watch can withstand up to 14 days, with a maximum load – no more than 5 days. The price of the model is 12,000 rubles.

Like Xiaomi Mi Watch, they are not full-fledged smart watches. The declared OS does not offer additional functionality and cannot work with third-party applications. Of the significant differences from the competitor – a metal case, a twist control and more correctly working health monitoring sensors. It seems to us that if you already pay more, then for a model with extended functionality, for example, for HUAWEI Watch 3 Pro. If you want a simple fitness bracelet, consider the HONOR MagicWatch 2. It already provides the option to answer an incoming call.
On the fourth line is HONOR MagicWatch 2. It differs from competitors above in the presence of operational (32 MB) and permanent (4 GB) memory. This is enough for comfortable use of pre-installed applications, storage of some relevant information and even music. The watch is equipped with a built-in media player, speaker and microphone – you can listen to music and receive incoming. The watch uses the following communications: Bluetooth v 5.1, GPS, GLONASS, for orientation in space – compass, altimeter, barometer. All this allows you to control the location of the owner and the state of the main indicators of his health, including during sports. By default, 7 modes are available, but the list can be expanded.
Display – OLED, diagonal – 1.39 inches, waterproof class WR50, IP67 allows you to use them during training on the water and in sunny weather. Battery capacity – 465 mAh, up to two weeks on a single charge, and with active use – no more than 3 days. The case is completely made of metal, including the bezel, which is present, unlike competitors above. The glass is unfortunately prone to scratches.
Available in two versions – 46 and 42 mm. Strap 4 colors (charcoal black, agate black, linen brown and peach pink), leather, silicone, Milanese bracelet to choose from. The latter is relevant for women. The price is 10,000 rubles.

There are few dials, it is difficult to install third-party ones.
One of the best solutions in the budget segment. Of the pluses – correct sensors, impressive autonomy, built-in microphone and speaker. Of the minuses – weak glass protection and software flaws. At a comparable cost, Xiaomi Mi Watch is not equipped with speakers and cannot receive calls. If this communication parameter is important to you, then the HONOR MagicWatch 2 is more suitable for you.
HUAWEI Watch 3 Pro
Characteristics
screen: 1.39″ AMOLED
Compatibility: Android, iOS
protection: moisture protection
monitoring: accelerometer, body temperature measurement, blood oxygen measurement, calorie monitoring
operating system: HarmonyOS
heart rate monitor: built-in
Top three opens HUAWEI Watch 3 Pro. The classic design, familiar assembly materials (ceramic, titanium, oleophobic-coated sapphire glass) and brown leather strap indicate that it belongs to the premium segment. There is an Elite version with a metal strap. Inside the top filling – 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, all the sensors necessary to monitor the health of the owner, a GPS module. Over 100 types of physical activity, hundreds of watch faces. You can install applications from the store, however, there are not many of them.
Smart functions work on the basis of the proprietary operating system Harmony OS 2.0. Some functions do not work or work incorrectly in conjunction with Android. Supported by Esim, you can call from the watch. The law of the Russian Federation prohibits the duplication of a phone number, you will have to buy a SIM card for a watch. There is a built-in media player that not only manages the playlist on the smartphone, but also plays music from the internal memory of the watch or from the official website of the manufacturer.
There is NFC – you can pay for purchases using watches. In the Russian Federation, the number of banks that support technology goes to units. In terms of display quality and control, everything is similar to competitors above. Autonomy is declared up to 21 days. Depending on the mode of use, it is about 7-10 days, except for the use of Always On display. You can charge the watch both from the included charger and from any device that supports wireless charging technology. The price is 34,000 rubles.

It is impossible to fully respond in messengers – only pre-installed templates.
Media files from messengers are not loaded.
To delete a notification, you need to exit to the main screen, go to the submenu.
Voice input is announced, but not yet supported.
A good option from the middle price segment. Pin terms of functionality and quality comparable to the flagships of the leading brands on the market. The restrictions of Russian legislation on working with Esim, the limited distribution of contactless payment via NFC for Russians turn this watch into an elite fitness bracelet – it looks cool, but you can’t use the main features + not all options are available when working with Android. We recommend paying attention to the budget smartwatches mentioned above.
Silver goes to Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic. The watch in which for the first time Samsung abandoned its Tizen OC in favor of Google’s Wear OS. Management and usability remained the same thanks to the proprietary shell. The user has access to Play Market content, including the Google Pay contactless payment system. There are certain limitations when synchronizing with smartphones on other operating systems. For control, a rotating bezel, touch screen and 2 physical buttons are offered. The upper one is used to go back, the lower one is used to open applications.
The heart of the model is the latest Exynos W920 dual-core processor. It has 1.5 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. The communication protocols are LTE, Wi-Fi 2.4 / 5 GHz, Bluetooth 5.0. For movement control – GPS, GLONASS. Supported by Esim, application alerts and responses as pre-made templates, and typing on the keyboard or voice dictation, constant monitoring of the state of health. In addition to standard sensors, there are:
body composition analysis. Determining the percentage of fat, muscle and water in the body.
Snoring measurement.
There are no questions about the quality of the display, which cannot be said about autonomy. The manufacturer claims from 40 to 120 hours. Compensated by wireless charging.
Steel case, silicone strap, 3D glass, rotating bezel and two rectangular function buttons make this watch the pinnacle of elegance. There is a choice of black and silver colors and two case sizes – 42 and 46 mm. For each, a modification is provided with and without LTE. The price is from 16,000 to 25,000 rubles.

Incompatibility with devices from other manufacturers and autonomy – claims that can be made to this watch. The same can be said about the leader of the rating. Therefore, if you use an Android smartphone, it is more logical to purchase a budget watch, for example, Amazfit GTR 3. All flagships are designed to work with native operating systems. When distributing the first places, we focused more on the positive reviews of the owners, and here the Apple Watch Series 7 clearly won.
The leader of my rating was the smart watch Apple Watch Series 7. The only watch in the ranking with a rectangular case. There are versions with a diagonal of 41 and 45 mm. In Russia, only the aluminum version is offered. The strap material is silicone, leather, steel or nylon. Colors are black, gold, dark green, blue and red. Display specifications: OLED, 1.69″, 352×430 (326 ppi)/1.9″, 396×484 (326 ppi), with AlwaysOnDisplay function. It is based on the new Apple S7 processor, 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of permanent memory.
The operating system is watchOS 8.0. Communication uses Wi-Fi 5 GHz, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, Galileo, QZSS, LTE via eSIM (optional). Management – rotary wheel, button and touch screen. We will not dwell on the basic functionality. Let’s dwell on the chips of the model:

A premium item for fans of the apple brand. The most budgetary Xiaomi Mi Watch are comparable in functionality by 80-90%, autonomy is many times better, and ECG, blood oxygen levels, fitness training and other functions are not used by most users.
We gave the model 1st place for the use of new technologies, but we consider it more rational to purchase smart watches cheaper. If brand and status matter, look to Samsung and Applealthough lesser-known manufacturers offer noteworthy options, albeit with certain disadvantages compared to the leaders in the rating.

. Watch Fit New has the necessary functions and features that can be useful to the user in everyday use. Due to the large number of sports modes and animated workouts, this model can also be attributed to fitness bracelets. But a significant drawback is the case materials.. A good alternative is realme Watch 2 Pro with aluminum case or HONOR MagicWatch 2 in stainless steel.

Realme Watch 2 Pro is one of the best smartwatches around. Estimated price – 6500 rubles. This is a quality wearable device with a variety of functions. But some users may find the 1.75-inch diagonal inconvenient. Then pay attention to HONOR MagicWatch 2 with a round 1.2-inch screen.
Honorable first place goes to HONOR MagicWatch 2. Round AThe MOLED display has a diagonal of 1.2 inches and a resolution of 390 by 390 pixels. Housing made of stainless steel, silicone bracelet. Men can purchase the device in black, and for girls there is a light pink color.

The price of the 42 mm model is about 9,500 rubles, the 46 mm model costs about 11,000 rubles. MagicWatch 2 is a true smart watch powered by a powerful processor. You can use various applications, and 4 GB of permanent memory allows you to store all the necessary information. Thanks to its strict design and stainless steel case, MagicWatch 2 looks like a watch from the premium segment.. But as a fitness bracelet, they are not suitable because of the small number of sports modes. If you need a smart watch for sports, you should consider realme Watch 2 Pro or HUAWEI Watch Fit New, which have about 90 workout modes.
The fifth place in the TOP is occupied by HUAWEI Band 6. This bracelet boasts a pleasant AMOLED display and ergonomics – a narrow but large enough display perfect for people with thin wrists. The bracelet is held tightly, does not pinch the hand. The definite advantages are long battery life – about 240 hours in active mode.
This bracelet has a built-in pedometer, can monitor sleep, activity and, which is very important now, saturation. Of course, the measurements will not be as accurate as real pulse oximeters, but this is the disease of all fitness bracelets due to the use of a different measurement technology. But the critical values to track the device are able. Among the minuses are weak compatibility with IOS in terms of notification support and sometimes false heart rate measurements.. Also, the bracelet easily overheats and can turn off even at a temperature of about 36 degrees.

Battery life.
Availability of pulse oximetry.
Inconsistency in notification delivery on IOS.

Inaccurate heart rate measurements.
Price.
This bracelet is the most expensive in this TOP. Per 3 500 rubles you will receive a fitness bracelet, which, although it performs all the declared functions, would like more for the money. And low compatibility with IOS also cuts off part of the potential target audience. If you have a smartphone from HUAWEI, then the purchase will be justified, because they will work perfectly in pairs. If you are the owner of a smartphone of another brand, then you should look for another option.
Samsung Galaxy Fit 2
Characteristics
screen: 1.1″ (126×294) AMOLED
Compatibility: iOS, Android
water resistance: WR50 (5 atm)
Interfaces: Bluetooth 5.1
calls: incoming call notification
monitoring: calories, physical activity, sleep
Fourth place goes to Samsung Galaxy Fit 2. In terms of design, the bracelet is quite good. Here we are already waiting for an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 1.1 ”and a good resolution – 126×294. The bracelet is very light and sits well on the hand, so it will definitely not interfere with training.. Supports both IOS and Android. Best of all, the bracelet works with smartphones from Samsung. And I must say that he works with them out of the box.
The bracelet is equipped with tracking sleep, calories, physical activity, but it will not measure saturation. The battery can withstand up to 360 hours of active use (according to the manufacturer). Now to the cons: although there is moisture protection, it’s better not to swim and dive with a bracelet, the real battery life is a week, not 3, as the manufacturer stated, and the display is quite prone to scratches.

No measurement of blood saturation.
Price.
The price is about 3,000 rubles, therefore it would be desirable, of course, more functions for this money. The same OPPO Band and HUAWEI Band 6 can measure oxygen in the blood, and this is a very useful feature today. Well, the lack of full-fledged moisture protection limits the possibilities when training with this bracelet. In general, it is worth taking if you are the owner of a Samsung smartphone, because the compatibility here is really great. The rest I recommend to think about other models of bracelets.
Top three opens OPPO Band. This model boasts a pleasant design and ergonomics, which are so important for a fitness bracelet. Also fitnessthe bracelet has decent autonomy – up to 12 days of work from one charge. Charging, by the way, is also quite fast – about 1.5 hours. The AMOLED display is scratch resistant. The bracelet does not support IOS, but that’s for the best. It is much more honest to declare support for only one platform and do it efficiently than to talk about multiplatform when the device will not work correctly with the same IOS.
Thanks to this solution, notifications work much better here than on HUAWEI Band 6. They arrive stably, display contact names, text messages in short form. Equipped with the ability to track sleep, physical activity and saturation. Of the additional nice features – the ability to switch music on the phone, the function of finding a phone and controlling its camera from a bracelet. The bracelet also has good moisture resistance – shower, raindrops, swimming are not afraid of it.
Of the minuses is the lack of NFC, which means that they cannot be paid through terminals. The weather is only displayed with geolocation enabled, draining the battery. The display is quite small – only 0.95″, while some competitors from the TOP have at least 1.1″. And, of course, price – 3,000 rubles.
Long battery life, fast charging.
Large set of features.
Moisture resistance.
Lack of NFC.
Small display.
Attachment to geolocation for the correct operation of some functions.
Lack of IOS support.
Price.
As in the case of HUAWEI Band 6, this model is designed to work together with a smartphone of the same company. In general, this approach will be more honest with the buyer. Don’t get me wrong, the device will work with other Android smartphones as well, but the best compatibility is only to be expected with OPPO smartphones. If you own it, then you can take it without hesitation. If not, then you should consider other models from the TOP, especially considering the price of 3,100 rubles.
In second place is Honor Band 5. From a design point of view, nothing out of the ordinary. Nice curved AMOLED display with a diagonal of 0.95”, which, of course, is small, but not critical, given the other advantages of this bracelet. It supports both Android and iOS. It has TrueSeen 3.0 technology, which will continuously monitor your heart rate. It also provides sleep tracking, physical activity, like competitors. I always single out the ability to measure saturationbecause this indicator is currently one of the most relevant, and this possibility is present here.
The manufacturer promises up to 144 hours of battery life in active mode and a full battery charge in 1.5 hours, which, in general, is close to the truth – in reality, the device keeps charging up to a week with active use. It also has a find phone feature, which works great – the phone beeps even when the sound is turned off. Moisture protection is implemented at a high level., so you can comfortably swim with it and track the progress of training. Another big plus is the price.
The bracelet costs about 2,000 rubles, which is amazing given the number of features and battery life. Of course, there were some drawbacks too – NFC is absent here, as in other models, there are errors in measuring heart rate and steps, and alerts come without an application logo.

For 2,000 rubles, we get a bracelet with a nice design, which combines the functions of more expensive models. Separately, it is worth noting TrueSeen 3.0 technology, which monitors heart rate – a very useful thing if you are really worried about your own health. Yes, this bracelet also has disadvantages, but their advantages greatly outweigh them, and if you also take into account the price, then you can practically turn a blind eye to them. Conclusion: you can take!
The first place is occupied by Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6. This is not surprising – this bracelet is considered one of the most popular devices in its category. The display distinguishes it from competitors in terms of design: here its diagonal is 1.56”, which is much larger than any previous TOP model. In fact, display size virtually blurs the line between fitness bands and smartwatcheswhich are usually much more expensive. The wonderful AMOLED panel here is frameless and, in addition, has a high resolution – 486×152, which provides excellent image quality. Moisture protection is also present – you can swim with a bracelet.
Claimed battery life of 14 days, but the real time of work is about a week. In terms of functions, everything here is also very interesting. Separately for women, I note that this bracelet has a female calendar tracker that tracks the cycle, so you won’t be taken by surprise. The algorithm automatically detects what sport you are doingbased on a lot of data that the bracelet collects about your activity.
Like other fitness bracelets, there are functions for monitoring sleep, pulse, heart rate and blood oxygen levelsand also smart Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) health assessment algorithm. Now to the disadvantages: the translation of the text in the application is not always correct, the declared autonomy differs from the actual one, errors in the measurement of indicators and the classic – the lack of NFC.

Unique features – women’s calendar, PAI.
The ability to determine the oxygen content in the blood.
Many training options, automatic detection of the type of activity.

For 3,500 rubles we get a bracelet with a simply gorgeous display, which almost turns this gadget into a smart watch. All the necessary trackers are present, although there are errors. There is moisture protection. Even unique chips were brought in, like a women’s calendar and PAI. The device is definitely recommended for purchase, because at the moment it is an almost ideal solution in terms of price-quality ratio!

Fifth place goes to Jet Kid Connect. Budget watches from China. They differ from competitors in the rating by the presence of an additional (except for the SOS button) physical button for answering a call on the side face. Between the buttons is a flashlight, TFT display inferior to competitors in terms of brightness, color quality and sensitive sensor.
Battery – 350 mAh. Theoretically, the charge lasts for 50 hours, practically depending on the degree of activity of use – from 1 to 8 hours.

The most budget watches of the rating. From the point of view of functionality, they are not inferior to competitors located in 4th and 3rd place. But there are indeed problems with autonomy. The 50 hours declared by the manufacturer are not maintained. Users also have complaints about the clock management and the smartphone application, but, in our opinion, the competitors’ applications are not much better, you just need to get used to the features. Especially with this you can put up with, given the price. GEOZON AIR costs twice as much, does not offer anything else in terms of functionality, and slightly wins in terms of autonomy.
GEOZON AIR
Characteristics
screen: 1.22″ (240×240) IPS
Compatibility: iOS, Android
body material: plastic
calls: own SIM card
degree of protection: IP65
interfaces: WiFi
Fourth place goes to GEOZON AIR. Available in black and orange colors. The design is angular and outdated compared to competitors: the display is smaller, while the size of the case has not been changed due to the frames around the screen. Functionality and settings are also scarce: entertainment is not providedthe main function – communication with parents – is carried out over the 2G network through calls or voice chat, there is a camera, SOS function, geolocation and a pedometer.
380 mAh battery should last 3-4 dayshowever, with intensive use, the charge barely lasts for 12 hours. The advantage over competitors is the price, it is 3,000 rubles.

Budget smart watch for communication with the child. Not suitable for activity tracking, geolocation works worse than competitors below, it will not be possible to determine the location of the child with great accuracy. Therefore, saving a thousand rubles compared to ELARI KidPhone seems doubtful, although Yandex. The market has a lot of positive reviews.
ELARI KidPhone Fresh
Characteristics
screen: 1.3″ (240×240)
Compatibility: iOS, Android
body material: plastic
calls: own SIM card
degree of protection: IP67
interfaces: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0
Third place ELARI KidPhone Fresh. Available in three colors – yellow, red and blue. Equipped with an IPS display, there are no interchangeable dials, you can only change screensavers. Compared to Aimoto Indigo, they only work on 2G networks, which makes video calling impossible.. The camera is designed for a selfie or a remote photo by a parent from a smartphone. At the same time, audio communication works well: the built-in speaker and microphone are of decent quality.
From the additional functionality – a pedometer, geolocation with the ability to alert you when you leave the specified safe zone, an alarm clock, an SOS button, a mathematical game. Remote control of functions is available from a smartphone. The application is more functional than that of Aimoto Indigo, and the interface is subjectively more friendly. The capacity of the built-in watch battery is 480 mAh. According to the passport part, it is enough for 48 hours of work. In practice, it all depends on the intensity of use and, judging by user reviews, the watch needs to be recharged daily. .

The model has a number of disadvantages: unstable location, no video support, inability to adjust the volume. But this is offset by the price. The models discussed above are cheaper, but inferior in terms of autonomy, app usability, and geolocation quality. At the same time, we do not recommend rushing and taking the models that occupy the first places if the presence of video communication is not important to you.
With unstable geolocation, the problem of the need for frequent recharging is also faced by their owners. The increased battery capacity, taking into account the work in the 4G network (increased power consumption), extends the battery life not so significantly. When buying ELARI KidPhone Fresh, you can save up to 2,000 rubles. You can save even more, but the models that occupy 4th and 5th places are slightly inferior in terms of autonomy.
Aimoto Indigo
Characteristics
screen: 1.4″ (240×240)
Compatibility: iOS, Android
body material: plastic
calls: own SIM card
degree of protection: IP67

Powered by Unisoc SC8521E processor running Android OS. There are GSM, GPS and Wi-Fi modules, vibration, built-in microphone and camera, which allows you to receive audio and video calls.
From the controls there is one physical button – SOS: with its help, the child will be able to notify you of a dangerous situation in which he got. Functionality for parents is opened using a proprietary application. The built-in 750 mAh battery is responsible for the autonomy of the watch.: its resource, according to the manufacturer, is enough for 5 days. In practice, the average operating time on a single charge does not exceed 72 hours, and with active use, the device needs charging every day. The price is 6,000 rubles.

Characteristics
screen: 1.4″ (240×240) IPS
Compatibility: iOS, Android

First place goes to Smart Baby Watch KT15. Watches are the best in the ranking according to several criteria:

Camera Quality – especially important given the support of video conferencing.
autonomy. Built-in battery with a capacity of 680mAh, as stated, provides up to 150 hours of standby time and 120 hours of moderate use. Judging by the ratings and user reviews, in real life, the autonomy indicator is a little short of what was promised, which is already significant progress compared to competitors.
The functionality is similar to Aimoto Indigo: communication (audio and video), SMS chat, geolocation, alarm clock, flashlight, SOS button.

If you are not willing to pay for children’s smart watch 6,000 rubles, choose GEOZON AIR or ELARI KidPhone Fresh. The latter will save exactly half. At the same time, be prepared for mediocre autonomy and the lack of video communication.
In this ranking, I have collected the 6 best electric knife sharpeners for 2022. My TOP includes only the best knife sharpeners from different price ranges – from 2,000 to 10,000 rubles.

Pressure washers are often seen as a home car wash tool.. When compiling this material, the Technical Auditor team found out that their functionality is much wider. She copes with washing the facade of the house, FEMki in the yard, washing carpets and other household tasks. Therefore, this material should be of interest to all owners of private houses with a personal plot. Moreover, we have done all the hard work for you.
Having studied the market, the main technical differences of sinks from different price segments, we have already selected the TOP-8 pressure washers. You just have to choose according to your needs and budget. When selecting models, we relied on the main criteria – quality and reliability. The technical characteristics were leveled, and therefore the models in the rating are different in terms of power, equipment and functionality.
2022 High Pressure Washer Ranking Table
Interskol AM-140/1700
Characteristics
engine type: electric
power: 1700 W
maximum pressure: 140 bar
productivity: 300 l/h
power consumption: 1.7 kW
maximum inlet water temperature: 60 °C
The eighth place is occupied by Interskol AM-140/1700. The manufacturer claims a water supply pressure of up to 140 bar at a flow rate of 300 l/h. It can work from the water supply network and take water from a reservoir or tank. In the second case, the pressure is much lower than the nominal one. Scope of delivery – 8-meter hose, adjustable nozzle, mud (turbo), coarse and additional filters, nozzle and gun fastening elements. There is also a built-in detergent tank.
Foam generator not included, sold separately. The manufacturer claims a powerful and reliable electric motor with copper windings with overload protection, an aluminum alloy pump. The feature of the model is the Total Stop system – stopping the water supply after you release the gun trigger, and start on click after stop. In theory, all this should add reliability, but judging by the reviews and user ratings, not everything is going smoothly.
Possibility of using warm water (up to 60 degrees).
Total stop system.
Low water consumption.
The hose is rough.
Burning smell when used.
The quality of the pressure valve.
Some parts are missing from dealers.
The safety shutdown is often triggered, especially when using warm water.
There is no built-in foam generator. The detergent tank is useless.
Ergonomics (uncomfortable fasteners and connection of the water supply hose and the main working hose from the front).
. The device is not bad, but the build quality and the level of reliability are average. In my opinion, the price tag is clearly too high, for example, Bort BHR-1900-PRO costs almost half as much, but has more power, and Huter W195-PRO at the same price is much more powerful and has an extended package. And we are talking about affordable models.
Bort BHR-1900-PRO
Characteristics
engine type: electric
power: 1900 W
maximum pressure: 150 bar
productivity: 450 l/h
power consumption: 1.9 kW
maximum inlet water temperature: 50 °C
The seventh line is occupied by Bort BHR-1900-PRO. This is the most compact and cheapest sink of the rating. Box dimensions – 32x35x51, weight – just over 7 kg. From the standpoint of reliability, this is rather a minus, and the maximum number of nodes is made of plastic. Let’s go through the declared characteristics: maximum 150 bar, water flow 450 l/min. There is a built-in foam generator, the quality of which is dissatisfied with many buyers. Declared protection against overheating and water intake from the tank.
Price.
Compactness.
The pressure is regulated by a nozzle.

Judging by user reviews, there is a certain percentage of marriage.
There are no spare parts for sale.
Flimsy gun holder.
The pressure drops noticeably when using water from the tank.
The quality of the built-in foam generator.
Complete set – no nozzles.
. Budget sink, which is suitable for maintaining order in the yard. She will cope with a car wash, however, not as quickly as competitors. Its main drawback is too much plastic: in the event of a breakdown, it is almost impossible to find spare parts..
On the other hand, judging by user reviews, the support service and service centers of the brand in the Russian Federation work flawlessly. Yes, and taking into account the price tag, a discount on quality can be made. We recommend this model to those who are on a budget. At the same time, if it is possible to pay extra, it is better to choose an option from the TOP-3.
Lavor Pro Galaxy 160
Characteristics
engine type: electric
power: 2500 W
maximum pressure: 160 bar
productivity: 510 l/h
power consumption: 2.51 kW
additional functions: use of detergent
In sixth place Lavor Pro Galaxy 160. The model is intended for professional washing of cars and care of the adjoining site. It has the richest equipment in the rating – fan, mud nozzles, rotary brush. Also included is a special Patio diffuser – a round nozzle that can work under high pressure and with a brush to remove old dirt – in the middle of the nozzle, the bristles are in diameter.
The brush not only removes dirt, but also prevents the spread of splashes. Power – 160 bar. The water consumption indicator is the highest in the rating (510 l / h), which indicates compliance with the declared capacity. From protection – a filter and an emergency shutdown system.

. The model is rated by most Yandex Market users at 5 stars. The stop factor is the price. It is better to take a model from the TOP-5. For example, the Huter W195-PRO is more powerful and much cheaper, while the KARCHER K 5 Compact can regulate the water supply pressure at the same cost.
Karcher K 5 Compact
Characteristics
engine type: electric
power: 2100 W
maximum pressure: 145 bar
productivity: 500 l/h
power consumption: 2.1 kW
maximum inlet water temperature: 40 °C
TOP 5 opens KARCHER K 5 Compact. The most expensive model in the ranking. The price is from 24,000 rubles. For what such money – now we’ll figure it out.
Reliability. An aluminum pump, a well-thought-out system of water cooling of the motor and an emergency shutdown when a critical temperature is reached maximize its resource.
Power adjustment. A minimum of 20 bar is a great idea for cleaning delicate surfaces.
Compactness and lightness.
Ergonomics. Thoughtful places for storing nozzles, convenient winding of the hose on the body.
Collection of chemicals from any container. You can forget about adding detergent to the tank of the device. An additional hose will pick it up from any container.
Swivel mud nozzle. It will help with cleaning surfaces from ingrained old dirt.
In addition to the aforementioned mud nozzle, the set comes with a fan and an 8-meter hose. There is a modification with a foam generator. You will have to pay 29,000 rubles for it. Main technical characteristics – 145 bar at a water flow rate of 500 l / h.

Demanding on the quality of power supply and the constancy of the mains voltage.
Leader among professionals. Folk experts are cool about the model because of the high price. Indeed, it is not available to everyone, but it will last longer, and the declared technical characteristics are maintained, unlike cheaper competitors. We tried to maintain neutrality, and the best car washes in terms of price-quality ratio got into the TOP-3.
Huter W195-PRO
Characteristics
engine type: electric
power: 2500 W
maximum pressure: 195 bar
productivity: 420 l/h
power consumption: 2.5 kW
maximum inlet water temperature: 50 °C
In fourth place is Huter W195-PRO. The representative of the middle price segment, surpassing the flagship models in terms of main technical characteristics. Can spray 420 liters of water per hour at a pressure of 130 to 195 bar. Water can be used both tap water and from any container and reservoir. Included:
hose 8 m long;
nozzles of different colors – differ in the method of spraying. Red beats with one powerful jet, green – with a fountain at an angle of 20 degrees;
professional foaming agent and foam nozzle with the ability to adjust the foam supply. Connecting directly to the gun, which is very convenient.
A device with excellent ergonomics – light weight, handle, wheels for transportation, reel for winding and storing the hose. The price is 13,000 rubles.
Foamer quality.
Ease of use.
Inconsistency of the declared characteristics. Maximum 160 bar indicated on hose and gun (195 stated).
The pressure drops in proportion to the decrease in mains voltage. Especially noticeable in cases where the network is less than 200 V.
The quality of the sealing ring at the junction of the hose and gun.
There are no places to store nozzles.
There are only 2 nozzles included.
The hose storage reel is inconvenient for some users.
The advantage of the model is an acceptable price. The reverse side of the coin is that the working pressure does not correspond to the declared one in all cases. On the other hand, this model is suitable for maintaining cleanliness in the territory of the house. Will it cope with the old dirt on the wheels and car body? Most likely yes, but it will take a little longer, but without the risk of high pressure damage.
PATRIOT GT 640 Imperial
Characteristics
engine type: electric
power: 2050 W
maximum pressure: 135 bar
productivity: 440 l/h
power consumption: 2.05 kW

Got into the TOP-3 largely thanks to the buyers. Only 1 Yandex Market user left a negative review, and even then it was not related to the quality of the device, but to the work of the dealer. Others rated the model 5 stars.
BOSCH Universal Aquatak 130 + Car kit
Characteristics
engine type: electric
maximum inlet water temperature: 40 °C
maximum pressure: 130 bar
productivity: 380 l/h

Corner nozzle.
Washing brush.
Foam generator.
Extension hose.
In terms of performance – a maximum of 130 bar with a water flow of 380 l / h. Not much, but honestly. This model fulfills the declared characteristics by 100%, even when taking water from tanks. Detergents also enter the system from the outside from the complete container through a special hose.
There is an overheating protection system and the AquaStop function – stop the water supply when the trigger is released and the pump starts when pressed. On the case there are places to store accessories. Price – 16,000 rubles.

Despite all the identified shortcomings, 94% of Yandex Market users recommend the model for purchase. We join with a slight amendment – the price tag is too high. The Hanskonner HPW9225R costs several thousand more, but is noticeably more powerful.
Hanskonner HPW9225R
Characteristics
engine type: electric
maximum inlet water temperature: 50 °C
maximum pressure: 190 bar
productivity: 450 l/h
power consumption: 2.5 kW
additional functions: use of detergent, fine filter
Hanskonner HPW9225R became the leader of the TOP. Model of the Russian-German manufacturer which is famous for its high quality and level of control in production. The proof is the aluminum pump, water purification filter and overheating protection system. One of the most powerful in the ranking (only Huter is slightly more powerful – 195 vs. 190 bar).
The kit comes with a fan nozzle, mud and foam generator. Water intake is possible both from a water supply system and from any container. Detergent intake – from the complete container. The price is 19,000 rubles.

Identified cons are subjective. The model is worth the money, if only because of the durability. 100% of Yandex Market users recommend, and 98% rated the car wash 5 starsand the remaining 2% – by 4. If you are not ready to spend 20,000 rubles on equipment, pay attention to BOSCH: less power, but rich equipment. Save more and give preference to budget Lavor and Bort only as a last resort. It is better to take a model from the middle price segment up to 12,000 rubles, for example, the PATRIOT GT 640 Imperial.
In this rating, we have collected the TOP 6 best budget DVRs of 2022. DVRs have recently become a dense part of the lives of motorists as a means of proving their innocence in an accident or simply to fix unforeseen encroachments on a car by intruders. The average cost of a video recorder reaches 10,000 rubles. At the same time, the functionality is fundamentally not different. Some users claim that the top models give the best quality, some even write that in 4K resolution. But such devices are demanding on the quality of memory cards and sometimes freeze.
As the experience of drivers and the opinion of experts shows, an inexpensive DVR worth up to 5,000 rubles is enough to monitor the traffic situation and car safety. Among them, there are quite a few frankly weak ones – both in terms of shooting quality, and in terms of functionality and reliability. But we tried and selected the best models in this price range. When selecting, the emphasis was on the quality of the recording and ease of use, the opinions of the owners and reviews of experts were taken into account.

Slimtec Alpha XS
Characteristics
viewing angle: 170°
screen: 3″
video resolution: 1920×1080 at 30 fps
battery life: 10 min
memory card support: microSDHC
operating temperature: -20 – +60 °C
Opens my TOP Slimtec Alpha XS. It stands out from the background of most competitors in the rating by its form factor and resembles a budget digital camera: a 3-inch display is a noticeably protruding lens on the front panel. Control buttons on the right and left sides. The menu is intuitive, there are no alternative control methods. There is a speaker, the mount is made with a clutch and rotates 360 degrees, which can be useful for fixing the behavior of traffic police officers and generally increases the possibility of setting the view. In terms of functionality, we compare with competitors:
Motion Sensor – works only when there is movement in the frame.
shock sensor – fixes the moment of an accident and protects the file from cyclic overwriting.
Parking mode – captures what is happening in the parking lot from the moment when the situation in the field of view ceases to be static.
The minus of the model compared to its competitors is the maximum supported memory card capacity – 32 GB. Price – 4,000 rubles.
Ease of operation.
Rotates 360 degrees on the mount.
Display.
Overpriced.
Sound recording quality.
Fastening quality.
The quality of shooting at night.
Recording does not always start when the engine is started.
Supports memory cards up to 32 GB.
Not a bad device in terms of functionality, but compared to competitors, it has a number of drawbacks. It works with MicroSD up to 32 GB, while in practice it inexplicably does not see some flash drives even of class 10 recommended by the manufacturer. The quality of shooting at night is also worse than some competitors. At a price of 4,000 rubles, this is unacceptable. For example, Roadgid Duo wins in all these parameters and also has a second camera. Artway AV-405 costs 500 rubles less, while being controlled by a smartphone and equipped with a Wi-Fi module.
Artway AV-405
Characteristics
viewing angle: 140°

video resolution: 1920×1080 at 30 fps
loop recording
memory card support: microSDHC

Fifth place goes to Artway AV-405. For a modest price (about 3500 rubles) The model offers truly top functionality. Based on the Novatek NT96672 processor and optics of 6 glass lenses with a viewing angle of 140 degreeswhich allows you to record the traffic situation both in front of the car and on the sides, while the quality of the recording does not deteriorate significantly – signs, traffic lights, what is happening in the neighboring and oncoming lanes, in most cases, is perfectly visible. Matrix – 2 MP, recording is in MP4 format, Full HD resolution on a memory card 8-64 GB.
The operation of the model is fully automated – start/stop operation when starting/stopping the engine, recording in the parking lot when there is no static in the field of view of the registrar, fixing the moment of an accident while parking / in the absence of a driver in the car, protecting an important file from cyclic overwriting. Pthe user can view and edit the video on the smartphone in a few seconds, built-in Wi-Fi module and a special application will help with this. From a smartphone, you can control the functionality of the registrar, if necessary. The recorder itself does not have a built-in screen.
Hidden connection. Instead of a cigarette lighter adapter, the kit includes a cable that is hidden under the casing. This releases the cigarette lighter socket.

Low power consumption in standby mode.
Built-in WiFi.

Build quality.
For some users, the lack of a cigarette lighter plug is a disadvantage.
Interface and Russification of the application for a smartphone.
Fixed mount – does not rotate in a horizontal plane.
Great option for its price. There are nuances, for example, the recording function in case of an accident while parked requires 2-5 seconds to start the recorder and start recording video, the culprit of the accident has a chance to escape. But the rest of the rating participants in this regard work the same way. Our team recommends Artway AV-405 for high quality shooting and value for money. If you already pay a lot of money, then, for example, for devices with two cameras Roadgid Duo or 70mai Dash Cam A400. In the latter case, a second chamber is offered as an option. Fujida Zoom Hit, which is in 4th place, deserves attention, but its features have become critical for us in the distribution of positions in the ranking.
Fujida Zoom Hit
Characteristics
viewing angle: 170°

In fourth place is Fujida Zoom Hit. Pretty popular Chinese device. Compact – 57x48x35 mm, with a wide viewing angle of 170 degrees, HDR support and the possibility of stable long-term operation in the temperature range from -35 to +55 degrees in the absence of a built-in battery. The manufacturer claims that due to the equipment of the device with a special “supercapacitor”, it will work in extreme conditions longer than its competitors.. To what extent this is true, it is not possible to check in the framework of this study due to the need for a large time period for testing the device in such conditions.
But what aboutn automatically turns off when removed from the mount – a clear minusYou can’t watch video on it. In addition to the main mode, there is a shock sensor and a motion sensor – tracking static in the visibility zone, recording the moment of an accident while parking and protecting important files from overwriting. Works with microSD from 8 to 64 GB. The price is about 5,000 rubles.

There are problems with auto-on, sometimes after a long period of inactivity it does not work. It also does not work if you install the recorder in the mount after starting the engine.
USB connection via mount. At home, you can watch the recordings only through a USB flash drive.
Does not rotate horizontally.
It turns off immediately when removed from the mount.
Despite the identified technical flaws in the start of the recording, flaws in the quality of the assembly, the impossibility of autonomous operation (outside the mount), 97% of Yandex Market users recommend the model for purchase. We join, but we give this registrar the 4th place in the rating. Particularly because of the high price. Rating leaders are cheaper and can offer interesting additional functionality. So, Roadgid Duo is equipped with two cameras, 1S Midrive D06 boasts voice control, though not without flaws, but more on that later.

Bronze medalist – Roadgid Duo. Outwardly, in terms of functionality and controls, it is similar to Artway AV-405. True, the lens of 6 lenses is made in a rectangular shape, which subjectively looks less modern. Of the technical differences – the presence of a second camera. It can be connected using the included HDMI cables in different lengths and used as a parking aid or a rearview mirror.. The recording quality is worse than that of the main module (640×480 pixels), but in practice this is enough for most users. You can install it in the cabin or outside.
For proper installation and long-term operation in the second case, the manufacturer and experts recommend seeking help from specialists. The main camera shoots at a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pix at 30 fps, supports a wide dynamic range, has a viewing angle of 140 degrees. In terms of functionality, everything is standard: motion sensor, shock sensor, parking mode. The price is 5,000 rubles.

video resolution: 1920×1080 at 30 fps
loop recording
memory card support: microSDHC
built-in microphone
In second place is 70mai Dash Cam 1S (Midrive D06). The most popular video recorder in terms of price – quality. Produced by a sub-brand of Xiaomi, which values its reputation. This is immediately read by the quality and design of the packaging. Everything is beautiful, but minimalistic – in the spirit of Xiaomi. The box contains the recorder itself, a USB adapter for the cigarette lighter, a cable and an instruction book. Bonus – an anti-static sticker is glued to the windshield under the mount, in theory improves grip, does not allow the mount to come off when driving on bad roads. The device is interesting in form factor – it is made in the form of a horizontally located cylinder.
In addition to the MStar 8336D processor and the Sony IMX307 lens, speakers, a Wi-Fi module, and a microphone are hidden in it.. The latter are needed to pair with a smartphone and implement voice control. PThe device understands the commands “Start Recording” or “Take Photo” in English when using English as a system. Advanced features are available in the application: you can select the video quality, recording cycles with an accuracy of 1 minute, adjust the volume of the speakers, adjust the parameters of activity in the absence of movement. The price is constantly going up and down, but on average you can find it for 3,000 rubles.

And now we have reached the leader of the rating – 70mai Dash Cam A400. It is offered in three colors – gray, red and ivory. The form factor is similar to the Slimtec Alpha XS, but much smaller. On the front is a lens, on the back is a 2-inch IPS display. Adjustable vertically, horizontally and diagonally. Matrix GalaxyCore GC4653 with a shooting resolution of 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD – the average between Full HD and 4K) and support for wide dynamic range provides excellent shooting quality. Memory cards up to 128 GB are supported, this is important, because the video size is increasing compared to competitors. Increased battery capacity – 500 mAh.
A second camera is optionally available, which can be used as a parking assistant – the technical capabilities of the device allow. Management is carried out from a smartphone, synchronization via Wi-Fi. Feature – fastening directly to the film on the glass. One side of the device is adhesive. On the one hand, it is convenient and fast, on the other hand, it is problematic to remove the registrar in the future, each subsequent dismantling worsens the quality of the clutch. The functionality is standard. The price is 4,500 rubles.

The model is the best in its price range in terms of shooting quality. Fastening directly to the windshield is a moot point, since there is no possibility of operation in a vehicle with a straight windshield. Demanding on memory cards: some budget ones do not see, even 10th grade. This can be explained by the need for a high speed of data exchange with the card for correct recording at this resolution. Synchronization problems for some users are more likely due to inexperience. The initial setup takes time and attention, but in the future, the Wi-Fi connection works stably.
DVR-mirror with a rear view camera is an indispensable and useful assistant to the driver, standing guard over his interests in fixing controversial traffic situations, accidents, thefts, etc. But you should not look at this device so one-sidedly. Today, such recorders have made a big leap forward in their development and offer parking assistance, quickly connect and synchronize with a smartphone via Wi-fi, and some have a radar detector function. The choice is huge, and with external similarity, the models are radically different from each other.
In this rating, we have collected the TOP 8 best DVRs for 2022. The main selection criteria are recording quality and ease of use. In order to cover the interests of all categories of users, we included models with additional functionality from different price segments in the rating. In the selection of the top list, we were assisted by experts and drivers with experience using registrars. Rating outsiders – models from the budget segment costing up to 5,000 rubles. They do a good job with basic functionality, as a rule, they are short-lived, but they are in demand in our country.

In general, everything is not bad, but if you compare it with DIGMA FreeDrive 303, you can see poor build quality and raw software – false sensor alarms, auto-shutdown when overheating in summer, delayed start when the ignition is turned on, and other problems. According to Yandex Market users, the recording quality of DIGMA is also better, albeit slightly.

In sixth place DIGMA FreeDrive 303. The budget DVR with the Generalplus GP2248 processor is equipped with two cameras – main and rear view. The necessary communications are attached to the latter: cable, mount. The main camera records in Full HD at a recording speed of 25 fps. The second camera is lagging behind, it shoots only at a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. Viewing angle – 120 degrees. The quality of shooting of both cameras in the daytime is sufficient for detailed recording of events on the road and is definitely better than that of competitors above. At night, the quality is mediocre – this is the problem of all state employees. Basic functionality – G-sensor with adjustable sensitivity, parking assistant.
For recording and storing video, a memory card up to 32 GB is used, the slot for it is located on top, as well as connectors for an external camera, power supply, and connection to a computer. Management – 6 physical buttons on the bottom edge, with which you can control the operating time of the device, adjust the quality and cyclic recording, sensor sensitivity, some display settings.

According to the main functionality – 2 cameras that record in Full HD. 170 degree Sony front sensor. The manufacturer does not specify the modification. The back is also of good quality, but with a viewing angle of 140 degrees. The main camera supports WDR – the recording quality day and night is excellent. The rear camera performs a little worse, but remains one of the best in the ranking.
From the functionality – G-sensor and Wi-Fi module for synchronization with a smartphone. The difference from competitors is a large touchscreen display covering the entire area of the mirror.

. Despite the high rating and 92% of recommendations, Yandex Market users make serious claims about the stability of the work, and the screen resolution is lower than the camera resolution. Our editors have also added an unreasonably high price tag here. These factors pushed the model to 5th place. At a price of 10-15 thousand rubles, the model could be in the TOP-3, but since we are for rationality, we recommend saving, especially if you are not interested in the driver assistance system, which often loses its relevance due to the quality of road markings. The rating includes models with a price of 20,000 rubles, but with a radar detector and GPS function.
70mai Midrive D07
Characteristics

Fourth place goes to 70mai Midrive D07. Mirror recorder with a 10-inch display from the Xiaomi sub-brand. It boasts an advanced HiSilicon Hi3556 processor and a GalaxyCore GC2053 camera that shoots in Full HD resolution with minimal output lag. Speed - 30 fps. 130 degree viewing angle keeps lanes free of blind spots. A good quality rear view camera is also available as an option. Connects to the connector on the top edge. There is also a micro SD slot (up to 64 GB) and a charging port. Below are 4 function buttons. However, it is easier to manage from a smartphone, plus we get an extension of functionality.
Management is carried out through a special application with a Wi-Fi connection. You can also stream videos to your smartphone. Of the additional options, a G-sensor is provided – automatic start of recording with a sharp push, for example, while parking, a parking sensor (if there is a rear camera and a special cable), as well as a microphone and speaker. The price is about 6,000 rubles. About the same amount will have to pay extra for the rear camera.

Despite a considerable number of disadvantages, this is a device with advanced technical stuffing, it gives excellent shooting quality, it works stably (except for conditions of low air temperature). If compared with the TOP-3, then in terms of the quality of performance it is not significantly inferior. Even with the purchase of a rear camera, it will cost less. The only catch is the lack of additional functionality. All devices below are equipped with an anti-radar, and TrendVision aMirror can replace the multimedia center in some situations. Read the rating to the end to choose the best technique.
iBOX Range Laser Vision

Top three opens iBOX Range LaserVision. In addition to the function of the DVR, it also serves as an anti-radar. Scanning for emissions from these devices detects them and warns the driver. Present on board GPS-module with a database of stationary traffic police posts installed along the route, high-risk areas and other useful information turns the registrar into a full-fledged assistant on the road. The GPS module also makes available the functions of a tracker, navigator and tracks speed in real time. By digging into the settings, you can turn on the speed display even when the display is off. It is much larger than the competition – 7 inches.
But let’s move on to the main functionality. The recorder is equipped with an Mstar video chip and a top two-megapixel Sony IMX307 matrix. Of the features – a large viewing angle of 170 degrees, shooting in Full HD with automatic local exposure control – no overexposed frames. The quality of shooting is excellent at any time of the day. The rear camera is practically not inferior. Writes video in Full HD, viewing angle – 160 degrees. Of the additional options, there is traditionally a G-sensor and nice bonuses – a motion sensor that allows you to set the device to turn on when the movement starts, and anti-sleep. You can save the resource of the built-in battery and not miss an important event – an accident, theft, theft of cars located nearby in the parking lot. If you are on the road for a long time, the registrar will not let you fall asleep: periodically, according to the system settings, the anti-sleep produces a certain sound. This is a device with its own OS, Wi-Fi module and connects and synchronizes with a smartphone using the application without any problems.
An intuitive interface allows you to configure all the options in detail, update the radar detector signature database, view and download previously recorded videos to your smartphone. In addition, there is a classic control solution – buttons on the bottom. By interfaces: unlike competitors, there is only an additional input for the GPS module. Memory card used – up to 64 GB. The set includes the recorder itself, a rear-view camera and all relevant infrastructure, a power cable from the cigarette lighter and a remote GPS module.

there were problems with synchronizing devices on Android – you should check the relevance of the firmware.
For all this, the manufacturer asks for 22,000 rubles.. This is not just a DVR, but a real assistant to the driver on the road. No real owner has any complaints about the quality of video recording. Of the identified shortcomings, objective ones include some problems with synchronization with Android in older firmware versions, the lack of the ability to completely turn off, which makes it impossible to use the mirror for its intended purpose. Everything else depends on the correct settings and the relevance of the signature database, which must be periodically updated through the application. The price, of course, is high, but you can give that kind of money for a premium-class matrix and great functionality.
TrendVision aMirror

In second place is TrendVision aMirror. DVR from the middle price segment. Feature – a full-fledged mirror, not an overlay. Works on the basis of a modified Android OS, turns the DVR into a multimedia center with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of permanent memory. Already out of the box, in addition to the standard functionality, navigation, media player, Fm-radio, YouTube, browser, Wi-Fi, GPS are available, and there is even a SIM card slot for constant communication support using 3G / 4G, LTE technology, which allows you to make calls from the mirror.
There is access to the Play Market with the ability to install any applications from there. Such functionality seems redundant to some, even with touch controls (except for the three physical function buttons). To us, this decision seems controversial, but acceptable. It is unlikely that someone will play games or flip through social pages. networks on the DVR. But killing time during the period of forced downtime watching video content or finding important information on the Internet can be useful. However, everything is subjective here, so let’s move on to the main functionality.
The main camera, as well as the rear one, shoots video in Full HD at a recording speed of 30 fps. The only difference is in the viewing angles – 170 and 120 respectively. HDR, WDR are supported, but recording at night is still not ideal, although it is noticeably better compared to budget models. There is a G-sensor, a motion sensor, a parking assistant, a GPS module with all the consequences: navigation, tracker, warning of stationary posts and traffic police surveillance cameras along the route. In this case, there is no anti-radar. It is installed from the Play Market independently. It can be synchronized with a smartphone and with standard car acoustics via BT or cable.

. The choice of Yandex Market users. 94% recommend, more than 90% with the highest rating of 5 stars. The widest possibilities of a full-fledged multimedia system are limited to 1 GB of RAM. If such functionality is important to you, the manufacturer offers updated versions with large displays (10, 12 inches), with two or more GB of RAM on board. We did not consider them due to the lower rating on Yandex Market and the high price. If we talk about the main functionality – video recording and anti-radar, then the devices are identical. If you use social networks, play on a mirror, then you should probably consider updated models and overpay for them.

Characteristics

viewing angle 140°
shock sensor (G-sensor)
video resolution 1920×1080 at 30 fps
cyclic/continuous recording

SilverStone F1 HYBRID ELBRUS became the leader of the rating. A video recorder that will warn about radars and record the moment of an accident, and protect the recording from erasure. As standard, one camera with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, a recording rate of 30 fps and a viewing angle of 140 degrees. The viewing angle is less than that of competitors, but the recording quality is at its best at any time of the day. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not indicate the model of the matrix, but it is really the best in the ranking. The rear camera can be purchased separately: an AV connector is provided for its connection. Also on board there is traditionally a power connector, a slot for a memory card and a connector for a GPS module.. The latter in this case is an auxiliary part of the radar detector, the signature database has been successfully tested on older models and is constantly updated, there is no navigation component.
There is a G-sensor, parking sensor, motion sensor, speaker, Wi-Fi module. Thanks to the latter, the firmware is updated, the signature database is updated and synchronization with the smartphone takes place through the application – you can watch the video and download it to your phone or configure the device. All settings are also carried out by 6 physical buttons on the bottom. The menu is intuitive from 2 sections – setting up the radar detector and the DVR. Everything is standard there, and if you read the user manual, there will be no problems. Of the features – gesture control, i.e. turning off the sound notification by moving the hand under the bottom edge. You can also conveniently adjust the volume of notifications, mute them or turn them off.
Differences from competitors:
the display is located on the left side of the mirror. This can be seen as both a plus and a minus;
backup power supply from a supercapacitor (ionister). The technology is new, it consists in installing a capacitor, which accumulates a certain amount of energy for the correct shutdown of the recorder in case it is disconnected from the power supply. Differences from a conventional battery – wear resistance, preservation of properties for a long time in different operating conditions. Minus – it is designed for the correct shutdown, while the built-in battery can work up to 10 minutes. True, already in the first years of operation, it loses more than half of its capacity, which makes the use of an ionister relevant.

. The choice of Yandex Market users. 100% recommendations. Not a single negative review. All identified shortcomings can be considered subjective. The price is justified. When buying a second camera, it will cost about 20,000 rubles, which is comparable to the iBOX Range LaserVision. At the same time, SilverStone is more stable and wins in terms of shooting quality. The display location may seem awkward and the reflectivity is weak, but that’s subjective.
The ionister will last longer than the battery, so the disadvantage lies in distrust of the new technology. The viewing angle of the camera in this case is not important, the device perfectly captures 4 lanes with excellent shooting quality. We consider this registrar the best in terms of price-quality ratio and definitely recommend it for purchase.
