In the segment of direct water heaters priced under 3 million VND, Ariston SM45PE-VN and Ariston SB35E-VN are two popular models that many people are looking to buy and purchase. So, specifically, what is special about these two models, and when compared to each other, which model is more worth buying?
1. Overview of design and general features of Ariston SM45PE-VN and SB35E-VN
Both Ariston SM45PE-VN and Ariston SB35E-VN water heaters have a familiar compact, rectangular design. With the main white color tone, both easily integrate into many different bathroom spaces, from modern to minimalist. The case is made from high-quality plastic, resistant to fading and yellowing, ensuring long-term aesthetics during use.
Small size and light weight are also a big advantage, making it easier to install these two direct water heaters, even in small spaces. It can be said that the design of both Ariston SM45PE-VN and SB35E-VN is not only highly aesthetic, but also focuses on user convenience.

Another thing these two Ariston water heaters have in common is that they both have a rotary knob control panel. Compared to complicated touch knobs, rotary knobs have outstanding advantages in being intuitive and easy to use, especially suitable for the elderly and children. This simple control not only helps users easily get used to the machine but also minimizes the risk of incorrect operations, ensuring safety during use. Furthermore, if we take a deeper look, the rotary knob control is also easier to replace and repair, and the cost is also cheaper than the touch control.
Finally, both of these Ariston hot and cold shower models are fully equipped with the necessary safety features to protect users:
ELCB electric leakage circuit breaker: This is the most important safety feature of direct water heaters. When detecting signs of electric leakage, the ELCB circuit breaker will automatically turn off the power, preventing the risk of electric shock that is dangerous for users.

IP25 waterproof case: The machine’s shell is designed to meet IP25 waterproof standards, helping to protect internal components from water intrusion, ensuring the machine operates stably and durably in the wet environment of the bathroom.
Prevent drying: This feature helps prevent the machine from operating when there is no or too little water in the tank, preventing the machine from overheating and being damaged.
It can be seen that, although they are two completely different product lines, there are many things in common between Ariston SM45PE-VN and SB35E-VN. However, what we are most interested in is still the performance difference between them, to see which model really suits our family’s needs better.
2. Compare performance and typical features of AristonSM45PE-VN and SB35E-VN
2.1. Capacity and water temperature
The biggest difference between these two Ariston water heater models lies in capacity and heating ability. While Ariston SM45PE-VN has a strong capacity of 4500W, SB35E-VN only has a lower 3500W. That also leads to SM45PE-VN being able to heat water faster and reach higher temperatures. Specifically, SM45PE-VN can reach a maximum temperature of 55 degrees Celsius, while SB35E-VN can only reach 45 degrees Celsius.

Temperature differences also directly affect the usage experience, especially on cold days. With SM45PE-VN, you will always have an abundant and quick source of hot water to use, making bathing and daily activities more comfortable. However, it should be noted that both of these models are most suitable for places with warm weather, and for Northern winters, perhaps the indirect Ariston water heater will be more suitable.
2.2. Power steering pump
Another important difference between these two models is the power steering pump feature. Ariston SM45PE-VN direct water heater has a booster pump, while SB35E-VN does not. Due to the power steering pump, SM45PE-VN has strong water absorption ability, working well even in areas with weak and unstable water sources. This is a big plus in the eyes of families living in low water pressure areas and high-rise apartments. On the contrary, because there is no booster pump, SB35E-VN is only suitable for areas with stronger and more stable water sources.
It can be said that this power steering pump feature is not simply an additional equipment, but also a solution to enhance the user experience in a practical way.
2.3. Shower and spray mode
When comparing the Ariston SM45PE-VN and SB35E-VN showerheads, to be honest, both models are not too outstanding. However, SM45PE-VN still proves a bit superior when equipped with 3 different water spray modes, bringing more diversity and comfort to users. Meanwhile, SB35E-VN only has one basic spray mode.

2.4. Additional features
The last difference that Websosanh wants to mention when comparing these two Ariston direct water heater models is the EMC electromagnetic compatibility feature. Of these two Ariston water heater models, only SM45PE-VN has this feature. It will help the machine avoid conflicts and cause interference, affecting the operation of other electronic devices. Although this is not a key feature, it is basically quite practical, especially for families with modern, even expensive, electronic devices in the house.
3. Should I buy an Ariston SM45PE-VN or SB35E-VN direct water heater?
