“What is the best water heater brand?” It is one of the questions we are asked most often. Between the Ariston water heater, the Bosch water heater, Chaffoteaux, Pacific or Thermor, the range is wide and prices can double from one to another. The truth is that no single brand is better than all the others in every case: the right choice depends on the energy source (electric, gas, solar), the capacity, the available space and your budget. In this neutral comparison, we present what each brand actually offers at Brico MIM, with the features listed on the product pages and the price in Morocco of each model.

What really matters before choosing a water heater brand
Before comparing logos, settle these criteria. They are what determine your everyday comfort:
- Energy source: electric (easy to install), gas (instant hot water, with strict ventilation rules) or solar (higher investment). Our guide electric, gas or solar helps you decide.
- Capacity or flow rate: litres for an electric tank, litres per minute for a gas water heater. See our article 30, 50, 80 or 100 litres: which capacity?
- Format: classic vertical cylinder or slim (flat) for small spaces.
- Listed features: display (indicator or digital screen), magnesium anode, insulation, smart functions.
- Warranty and maintenance: read the warranty stated on the product page and check the availability of spare parts (heating element, gasket) and of an installer near you.
Ariston water heaters: range and prices in Morocco
At Brico MIM, Ariston is available in electric only, with the most complete range of capacities:
- Small tanks for a single tap: Ariston 15 L (1250 DH).
- Wall-mounted cylindrical models with a temperature indicator on the front: 30 L Andris (1360 DH), 50 L (1599 DH), 80 L (1680 DH) and 100 L (1970 DH).
- Velis EVO slim range: Velis EVO 50 L (3950 DH, about 27.5 cm deep, double tank, ECO EVO function, vertical or horizontal installation) and Velis EVO 100 L (4800 DH, 25 cm deep, ECO EVO and Shower Ready functions).
Who is it for? Those who want a classic 30 to 100 L electric tank at a reasonable price, or a premium flat model for a narrow bathroom.
Bosch water heaters: electric, gas and solar
Bosch is the brand that covers the most energy sources in our catalogue:
- Electric: 30 L (1580 DH), 50 L (1749 DH, 1500 W, enamelled tank, CFC-free polyurethane insulation, bottom connections), 80 L (2049 DH) and 100 L (2320 DH, 88 × 45 × 45 cm).
- Instant gas: 6 L/min with electronic ignition (2380 DH) and 11 L/min automatic (2880 DH), the latter presented as supplying a shower and a washbasin in a family home.
- Thermosiphon solar (no pump): 200 L 1 collector CBS020 (17,900 DH) and 300 L hybrid 2 collectors CBS030 (23,700 DH, stated actual capacity 280 L, 50 mm insulation).
Who is it for? Those who want to stick with one brand whatever the type of appliance. In electric, Bosch prices are slightly above Ariston models of the same capacity in our shop.
Chaffoteaux: small tank and Zelios solar
In our shop, Chaffoteaux is represented at both ends: the 10 L electric water heater (1150 DH), designed for a single isolated tap (sink, washbasin) and installed as close as possible to the tap, and the Zelios 300 L solar water heater (14,800 DH), which combines flat-plate collectors with a storage tank for families who use a lot of hot water.
Pacific: digital screen in electric and gas
Pacific offers the 30 L electric water heater (1790 DH) in a compact 50 × 50 × 27 cm format, with a digital screen, double tank and flexible mounting according to the product information, as well as the M2 6 L automatic gas water heater (1100 DH), also with a digital temperature display. A good option if you like to read the temperature at a glance.

Tight budget, electric
In 50 L, the most affordable models in our collection are the VM Aguamix (1170 DH) and the Thermor (1300 DH). In 100 L, the VM Aguamix costs 1550 DH.

Narrow bathroom
Go for a slim model: Sanili (24 cm), Ariston Velis EVO (25 to 27.5 cm), Oslo (28 cm) or Ferri (30 cm for the 80 L).
Gas water heater
Bosch for 11 L/min and electronic ignition, Pacific for the digital screen, StarLux for the lowest price. Whatever the brand, follow the ventilation and flue rules: read our guide gas water heaters and carbon monoxide.
Solar water heater
From 11,500 DH (Solamed 200 L) to 23,700 DH (Bosch 300 L hybrid), including the Chaffoteaux Zelios 300 L. To size it correctly, see solar water heaters in Morocco: how they work and capacity.
Brico MIM tip: always compare at the same capacity and format, then ask your plumber which brands they regularly install and service in your city. An appliance that is easy to get repaired is often worth more than a brand chosen on reputation alone. We also sell maintenance parts such as the 2000 W heating element in our water heater accessories.
