The company is so confident in the quality of its products that it provides a warranty period of 1 to 3 years for each product (depending on the thickness of the furnace compartment roof), but the “life” of the stove declared by the manufacturer is 20-25 years.

There are several reviews posted online. The authors say that they have been using Zhary stoves for several years (some for two years, others for five) and so far they are happy with everything.

Here's one review:

We have a Heat stove in our bathhouse, we bought it last year in August (post date 06/30/2013). We started using it constantly, only this year. We spent a long time choosing and settled on a Zhara stove. My husband is happy, the stove heats up the steam room and sink quickly enough. The tank is removable, but we do not remove it; we remove the lid from above and fill it with water. The next morning after heating the bathhouse, the water in the tank was warm and at a comfortable temperature; we were surprised.

The high quality of the welds and the fairly high efficiency of the furnaces are also noted: the next morning the water in the hanging tank is still warm, and a room with a volume of 12 cubic meters warms up in the winter in an hour and a half, depending on the outside temperature.

Developed furnace models

In order to draw up projects and manufacture stoves for baths and saunas, it was created, the central office of which is located in Tolyatti. The firm is now prospering, and since there is strong growth in manufacturing, a bright future appears to await it. The Sudarushka stove, which is very practical, also remains popular.

Productive capacity and excellent quality products allow us to win the attention of buyers, despite many competing enterprises. To create stoves for saunas and baths, progressive methods and high-tech welding equipment are used. This is what affects the quality of products that are in demand among the population. Judging by the reviews left online, the company's work is a success.

Among the main activities of the company, a special place is occupied by the development of drawings of the Heat stove for a bath. Thanks to open communication and cooperation with its customers, the company manages to produce exclusive models that meet the customer's wishes.

1. Heat stoves for bath facilities;
2. heating and cooking stoves Zhara for air heating of premises;
3. boilers Heat for baths and heating houses.

There are several models that the company works with; their different variations have their own technical features:

• "Extra" . The most inexpensive models, lightweight due to thin walls. They are quite easy to install and do not require a foundation. This is a good option if the area for heating the room is no more than 8 square meters. meters.
• "Baby " These are popular products with several modifications for bath rooms of different sizes.

“Zhara” sauna stoves are distinguished by their combination of simple design, high operating efficiency, long service life of up to 20 years, at relatively low prices.

Advantages

Zhara sauna stoves have many positive properties:

• The main advantage belongs to the correct cylindrical shape of the firebox and the material of manufacture, on which the quality directly depends. For work, main pipes used in oil production are used. When creating Zhara stoves, rural experiences from the past are taken as a basis. It was this form of firebox in the form of a cylinder that was introduced in ancient times, which is a suitable option for modern stoves.
• The service life of the furnaces is affected by the wall thickness, which ranges from 8 to 12 mm. The guaranteed service life in baths and saunas reaches 25 years, and this is a solid work experience.
• Another important factor in the quality operation of stoves is the chimney. Instead of a straight pipe, which was previously used unsuccessfully and uneconomically, a complex configuration resembling a coil is now used. This arrangement of the chimney pipe ensures uniform draft and significantly reduces the consumption of firewood.
• The power regulator plays a significant role. Due to the fact that it disassembles, it is easier to clean the oven.
• Zhara stoves are equipped with an improved grate design, which helps to avoid problems with burnout. In this case, it can be replaced, which cannot be done in conventional heating devices. They do not provide for this situation.
• The firebox is another main argument for the convenience and quality of the stove. developed several design options so that the customer could make a choice based on their preferences.
• The Heat sauna stove with a water tank deserves attention - the water tank is made of stainless steel, has an optimal volume and is located on the stove itself. For convenience, manufacturers have introduced an innovation - a water boiling regulator. If dismantling is required, the tank can be removed without much difficulty.

Design Features

The quality of the stove's operation largely depends on how successful the design of the firebox is. The manufacturer guarantees that “Zhary” fireboxes are welded from high-quality thick-walled pipes (5-10 mm), which are used for laying oil pipelines. The shape of the firebox is cylindrical. This is the option that was considered the most optimal, based on the courteous many years of experience of admirers of the Russian steam room.

The main thing in a sauna stove is a successful firebox design

For additional money you can purchase a “branded” chimney. Previously, it was made straight, but with this design, too much firewood literally “flies down the chimney”: a large amount of heat goes away along with the smoke and “heats” the street. The chimney from “Zhara” is a coil. This allows you to save firewood, evens out the draft, and the convenient collapsible design (the collapsible unit is also not included in the package, but must be purchased separately) makes cleaning easier. The grate also has its own characteristics: it is a specially designed removable design that makes it easy to clean and change if necessary.

Many people like to steam, but everyone has their own ideas about how to do it. This also applies to the organization of the firebox. Some people prefer to add firewood without leaving the steam room, others think that the best option is when the firebox is located in the dressing room or locker room, and others even think that it is necessary to add firewood from the street. Zhara has stoves with all these firebox options. Here everyone can choose according to their taste.

Model “Heat-standard 500” with remote firebox

Well, the last detail of the iron stove is the water tank. In Zhara ovens it is made of stainless or ordinary steel, and can have different volumes. It is easy to install and dismantle. This part is also not included with the stove, but must be purchased separately.

If you are planning to make a stove with your own hands, we recommend taking a look at the drawing of the Zhara-Standard 500 metal stove.

Advantages and disadvantages of Zhara stoves

Advantages

• Durability, which is ensured by the large thickness of the metal;
• Relatively low price.

• Unattractive appearance;
• Strong infrared (thermal) radiation, as the oven does not have a screen.

In order to eliminate this drawback, you can make a screen out of brick.

Brick screen for the Zhara stove with a hanging tank

As you can see in the photo, the screen is not made solid, but with holes for air circulation. A tap pipe for drawing water from a hanging tank is inserted into one of these holes.
