Storage Geyser vs Instant Geyser — Which Should You Buy?

Storage Geyser — Best for Families

Storage geysers heat and store water in an insulated tank. They are ideal for families who need consistent hot water supply. Storage geysers come in 6, 10, 15, 25 and 35 litre capacities.

Capacity guide:
1–2 people: 6–10 litres | Family of 3–4: 15 litres | Family of 5+: 25 litres

Best for: Families of 3 and above, areas with good electricity supply.
Price range at Value Plus: Rs.4,000 – Rs.18,000

Instant Geyser — Best for Small Homes

Instant geysers heat water on demand in 3–5 seconds. They are compact, wall-mounted and ideal for small families and apartments. They consume less electricity since there is no standing heat loss from a storage tank.

Best for: 1–2 people, small apartments, bathrooms with limited space.
Price range at Value Plus: Rs.2,500 – Rs.8,000
