A convenient and practical country washbasin with heated water allows you not to give up the benefits of civilization even outside the city.
With such a useful device on site, owners will always have the opportunity to thoroughly wash their hands, rinse fruits and vegetables from the garden beds, and quickly wash small items or items of clothing, without fear of getting sick due to contact with cold water.
In this material we will talk about the types of heated country washbasins, give advice on choosing and give a rating of popular models among buyers.
How to choose a washbasin?
When choosing a washbasin for your dacha, you should pay attention to the following important parameters.
- The material from which it is made . The most common are stainless steel, aluminum and particle board. The tank is usually made of metal, and the body or bedside table is made of chipboard. Wooden devices are slightly less common. They are more expensive and do not tolerate negative temperatures well, so you need to think carefully before purchasing them.
- Storage tank volume . Everything is simple here - the larger the tank volume, the less often you will need to change the water and the longer you can use the device. But you need to remember that overly large tanks usually take up more space. The optimal choice would be a medium container, the size of which ranges from ten to twenty liters.
- Heating _ Some devices can heat the water in their tank. This is especially true in spring and autumn, when the air temperature is still quite low. The function increases the comfort of using the device: hardly anyone will argue that washing your hands with cold water is not as pleasant as warm water.
- Appearance . Most people in their dacha don’t care about decor. But many people attach great importance to the interior of their dacha. Therefore, the purchased washbasin must fit into it if it is to be placed inside the living space.
- Availability of a bedside table . Some devices have a bedside table, which serves both as their base and, in fact, as a bedside table. This is very convenient, since you can put various household items inside.
- Price . And, of course, you should pay attention to the price. The higher it is, the more aesthetically pleasing and functional the washstand will be.
Wood
Wooden models of washbasins are very popular. They look more stylish and can be used as a permanent structure. In order to make it more convenient, it is necessary to use a different water supply system.
You can purchase a faucet for a country washbasin at any specialized store. Embedding it into a wooden structure is quite simple.
You also need to remember to put a lid on top so that you can add water to the container. Such models can very often be found in the garden, on verandas, and summer kitchens. They are very beautiful and comfortable, they are easy to make with your own hands.
In the form of a bucket
Styling to match various objects allows you to maximally adapt the washbasin to the specific style and design of your summer cottage. In a bathhouse, for example, you can use only wooden objects, because steel ones will heat up very quickly, and plastic ones will lose their shape.
To make a washbasin in the form of a bucket, you will need a wooden bucket itself, which can be bought at a specialized store. Next, you need to make a hole in it from the bottom. There you need to embed a plastic tap for a country washbasin.
Mira MR-3718R
Mira MR-3718R is not exactly a washbasin. This is a full ceramic sink. Why did it make it into our rating of washstands? Because of its size. It is a rectangle eighteen centimeters wide and thirty-seven centimeters long. This allows you to secure it even in rooms with a very small area.
Mira MR-3718R, like any other sink, requires a full drain, and therefore a sewer system. Water is also supplied to it in a standard way. Therefore, it is not suitable for summer residents who do not have running water.
The average cost of Mira MR-3718R in Russian retail is 5,000 rubles.

"Tundra", with electric water heater
Tundra is a mounted thirty-liter stainless steel tank with a tap in the front, equipped with an electric water heater. In essence, it is an “advanced” washbasin. There is no provision for drainage - a separate container is required for dirty water. It is also not recommended to install the Tundra outdoors - if it rains, water can get into the electrical components of the device and cause a short circuit.
The Tundra is powered from a household electrical network with a voltage of 220 Volts and a current of 6 Amperes. Therefore, if your country house does not have electricity, it is better not to buy it. The water heats up quite quickly (full heating takes about half an hour). There are several heating modes to adjust the temperature.
The average cost of the Tundra in Russian stores is approximately 3,000 rubles, which is quite inexpensive for such a device.

Aquatex stationary 17 l with stainless sink with EWH from 3,499 ₽
- Tank volume: 17 liters
- Tank material: metal
- Power: 1250 W
- Heating time: 30 min
The Russian company Aquatex is one of the largest manufacturers of country washbasins. Therefore, in the company’s catalog you can find washbasins for every taste, volume and size. All of them come complete with cabinets; there are wide models with double cabinets. “Aquatex” also stands out on the market with a wide variety of colors. For example, you can find cabinets in turquoise, dark gray, copper and even white gold. This product also features very fast water heating.
Galvanized washbasin, 20 l with tap and lid
A galvanized washbasin is a galvanized container made from a barrel, with a hole for filling it with water at the top and a tap at the bottom. Its volume is twenty liters.
It is not suitable for home use - the washstand is for street use. You can fill the device by removing the lid or inserting a garden hose into a special socket hole located in its center.
An excellent option for a garden or vegetable garden. The average cost in domestic retail chains is only 800 rubles.

Alvin Water heater EVBO-20/1.25 from 1,750 ₽
- Tank volume: 20 liters
- Tank material: metal
- Power: 1250 W
- Heating time: 60 min
Reliable water heater with a laconic appearance. Users praise the quality, convenient volume, fast heating and long-term temperature maintenance. They also note that it is completely safe. The water pressure can be adjusted and the faucet is easy to use. There is only one drawback - after winter the outer covering may peel off. To prevent this from happening, you need to cover the tank with thick fabric for the winter. An old winter jacket, for example, might work.
Stainless steel washbasin with tank Success 30 l without heating
Success - a hanging washbasin for a summer house made of stainless steel without heating with a volume of 30 liters. It is unlikely to be suitable for placement in a residential area - it looks too rough. But hanging it on the wall of an outbuilding is not a bad idea. You just need to take into account that since the body of the device is made of fairly thick sheet steel, it is heavy and not every wall will support it, especially when filled with liquid. This is especially true for the fragile walls of country sheds.
Suspension
Let's start with the simplest option - a hand-made wall-mounted washbasin. It is a container of 3-5 liters, shaped like a barrel. Thanks to the fasteners, you can hang this washbasin on any suitable surface.
Water is poured manually, but it can be drained either directly to the ground or into a bucket. This sink is suitable for rinsing hands, but not for washing dishes, the reason is the small volume of liquid.
Washbasins of this type are also found in larger volumes, up to 18 liters. They are more convenient because they do not require constant replenishment of the container with water. Often such a washbasin is equipped with a valve tap. You can use the wall-hung washbasin both outdoors and indoors.
Moydodyr Double 60x80 cm, stainless steel EVBO tank 20 l with water heater
Moydodyr Double 60x80 cm, stainless steel EVBO tank 20 l with water heater - this is an inexpensive washstand with a cabinet. All elements in contact with water are made of thin galvanized steel. The cabinet itself is made of chipboard. Since this material is sensitive to moisture, you should try to prevent water from getting on the cabinet.
Moidodyr has a tank with a capacity of twenty liters, heated by electricity. The heater is powered from a household electrical outlet.
Moidodyr’s bedside table is quite spacious - several packages of soap, various detergents, and washing powders can easily fit there. Half of the cabinet is reserved for a container for collecting dirty water.
The cost of the device is on average 6,500 rubles. There are cheaper versions of Moidodyr, characterized by a smaller size of the sink and cabinet. They are impractical, since the entire lower space is occupied by a container for dirty water. Such modifications cost approximately 4,000 rubles.

At the same time, a complete set with a cabinet and sink is available for purchase.
2nd place – Aquatex EVN 27
The model, created at the production facilities of the Elektromash plant, is made in a modern style and looks catchy and attractive in appearance. The surface of the steel tank is coated with a glossy white polymer.
The ergonomic thermostat handle allows you to set and control the water heating level in the range from 20 °C to 80 °C. In the lower right corner of the façade there is a sensor for emergency deactivation of the heating element.

3rd place – Tundra 15 l 2300013
The Tundra floor unit, manufactured by a Russian manufacturer, has a wear-resistant, durable and reliable metal body. The set includes a deep stainless steel sink. A progressive anti-corrosion coating is applied to the inside of the heating tank.
The increased size of the cabinet door makes it easy and stress-free to change the drainage container. It takes only half an hour to heat water to 50 °C.
The model is presented in several original colors. This makes it possible to harmoniously fit the product into the interior of a bathroom, kitchen or any other room.

Customers consider the main advantages to be fast heating of water to the optimal temperature and good pressure. It is also convenient that the device provides the ability to connect through a corrugation to drainage communications.
As a disadvantage, users note that the tap is too high and that it is impossible to remove the heating tank to clean it from dirt and scale. Some owners say that water does not drain well from the sink. But in general this problem is not observed and, rather, is associated with improper assembly of the product.
4th place – Moidodyr 30 l with wooden frame
A modern heated water-fill sink for a country house fully meets the need for hot water where there is no centralized water supply. The model is not very suitable for outdoor use.
The frame and cabinet made of chipboard do not withstand the influence of external weather conditions and sudden temperature changes. In order for the device to last as long as possible, you will have to allocate it a place in a dry, heated room.
The design of the unit additionally provides for the possibility of draining the wastewater into a sewer or cesspool. This makes it possible to use the device more intensively
Characteristics:
- type – floor

- tank material – shiny metal with inserts

I like the Moidodyr heated washbasin for its spaciousness and working qualities. It quickly heats the required volume of water and maintains it at the temperature set by the owner. A bucket for used liquid is conveniently placed inside the cabinet.
The disadvantages include a short cord for connecting to the network and the rather high cost of the product.
5th place – Moydodyr Double 60x80 cm EVBO 20l
The massive, large unit looks solid and elegant. Due to the double cabinet, there is a large work surface near the sink.
The durable case is not afraid of exposure to the external environment. This opens up the possibility of using the module not only indoors, but also outdoors under a canopy.

- capacity – 20 l
- tank material – steel with anodized coating

Among the positive qualities of the model, users most often highlight the large size of the product, economical energy consumption and prompt heating of water to the desired temperature.
No one has any complaints about the working qualities and overall design. The only negative that people talk about is the small and inconvenient handles on the doors of the cabinet, which make opening and closing difficult.
6th place – Alvin EVBO-20/1.25-1 ШБ
A pour-over washbasin with a heating heating element from the Alvin company is a reliable device for providing comfortable living conditions in your dacha.
The high-mounted water intake reliably protects the heating element from overheating. There is a plastic container inside the heating block that protects the tank from unexpected leaks.

Just a quarter of an hour after plugging into the outlet, water at room temperature flows from the tap, suitable for washing fruit, dishes and carrying out individual hygiene measures.
There are no obvious shortcomings in the device. Some buyers only note that the model is not suitable for exclusively street use.
Wood is susceptible to external environmental influences and can become deformed in particularly humid conditions or with constant temperature changes.
9th place – Aquatex EVN washing Laguna
The model is distinguished by clear, simple shapes and laconic lines, excellent wear resistance and aesthetic appearance. The bright, turquoise shade of the topcoat makes the washbasin especially attractive.

The color coating holds up well, does not fade during use and is easy to clean with a soft kitchen sponge and a delicate cleaning agent.

Customers report that the washbasin looks beautiful in the interior and fills it with freshness, originality and rich colors. The front door opens wide and allows you to effortlessly replace the used liquid bucket.
Some buyers do not like that the sink is made of plastic. However, this reduces the overall cost of the wash unit and cannot be considered a disadvantage.
10th place – Clean with EVBO-22 water heater
The Chistyulya model is a simplified module made of modern high-strength plastic. The strict, laconic design looks nice and is easily combined with furniture and decorative elements of the room.
Smooth heating of water does not overload the internal heating element and extends its service life.

Some buyers point to the insufficient depth of the sink and the short cable for connecting to the outlet, which significantly limits the area where the washbasin can be located.
"Clean" without EWH
“Clean” without an EWH is just another washbasin with a bedside table. If we consider it from an aesthetic point of view, it looks much nicer than Moidodyr: the cabinet has a more pleasant, matte color, all metal parts are coated with paint. But from a practical point of view, Chistyulya is not so good - it is smaller than the previous participant in our rating, which led to the fact that most of the bedside table is occupied by a container for collecting water. In addition, Chistyuli does not have an electric water heater.
The average cost of this device ranges from 2,000 to 2,500 rubles.
"Clean" without EWH
Elbet Clean (plastic) with EVBO-17 from 3,225 ₽
- Tank volume: 17 liters
- Tank material: plastic
- Power: 1250 W
- Heating time: 30 min
The washbasin with the funny name Chistyulya is made entirely in white. The model is very compact and can fit even in a small kitchen. Additional functions include adjusting the heating temperature. One of the best plastic models currently on the market. The advantage of plastic is that it is not subject to deformation due to temperature. And in winter this is especially true for dachas.
Whirlwind Whirlwind, heated
Whirlwind Whirlwind resembles the Dacha Duet, only half the size. There is one more significant difference - the washstand is made not of steel with a special coating, but of copper. On the one hand, this makes it very light, but on the other hand, it is not so resistant to corrosion (even taking into account the coating) and more expensive (the Whirlwind Whirlwind costs almost the same as the Country Duo).
The volume of the water container here is also 17 liters. There is electric heating.
Whirlwind Whirlwind, heated
Outdoor washbasin with cistern 22 l with water heater (frame made of metal tubes) from 2,050 ₽
- Tank volume: 22 liters
- Tank material: plastic
- Power: 1250 W
A tank with a washbasin, but without a cabinet. The tank itself is made of thick plastic, the base is made of metal tubes. Maximum tank volume for a country washbasin. The sink is spacious and suitable for all household needs. There is an option for 17 liters, the price difference is only 60 rubles.
Country washbasin Aquatex AT-White
Aquatex AT-White is a beautiful and compact washbasin-bedside table with an electric water heater. Unlike the previous participants in our rating, it is covered with a pleasant matte white paint, which allows it to fit into almost any country interior.
The cabinet stands on four barely noticeable legs, slightly raising it above the floor. This makes cleaning under the washbasin much easier, without requiring you to move it from place to place.
Aquatex AT-White is quite narrow, so it can easily fit even in a small living space and will not take up too much space.
The volume of the filling tank is seventeen liters. Unlike the tanks on the Dachny Duo or Vikhr, here the tank is organically integrated into the design of the washstand and does not look something alien. This is a definite plus of Aquatex, because not everyone is indifferent to the interior of their dacha.
The Aquatex heater is quite powerful and completely heats the water to the required temperature in about half an hour. The heater is powered from a household electrical network.
The average cost of Aquatex AT-White in Russian retail chains is approximately 2,500 rubles, which makes it affordable to almost everyone.
Country washbasin Aquatex AT-White
With your own hands
If you wish, you can make a country washbasin with your own hands. To do this, you first need to decide where it will be located; the choice of the necessary materials directly depends on this.
As mentioned above, if you plan to place the washbasin in the bathhouse, the only best option would be a wooden structure. It heats up less, is durable, looks aesthetically pleasing and fits perfectly with the classic design of a bathhouse.
The easiest way is to make a structure from plastic; you don’t even have to do anything special for this. It is enough to find a plastic container of a suitable size, make a couple of holes and build a pressure valve. The best option for camping trips or a temporary washbasin.
It is more difficult to create a structure made of metal, because in this case it is necessary to weld the parts. In addition, such a washbasin will be heavier, but also much more reliable, durable, and more resistant to various types of influences. In addition, metal structures can be decorated in almost any way, creating different patterns, additional elements, etc.
The most common option is wooden models, because in virtually every summer cottage you can find a couple of unnecessary boards and a few nails.
This will be quite enough to build a beautiful washbasin that can last for a very long time. The classic model is the square; it is the easiest to assemble, easy and convenient to decorate, and is optimal for a wide range of styles.
Summarize
A washbasin is simply a necessary thing for a summer house in the absence of running water. Today there are many models of these devices, which differ in both price and characteristics. There are simple hanging washbasins that are familiar to everyone from childhood. And there are full-fledged sinks, but they do not depend on water supply and sewerage. We hope that our review - rating of washbasins for the dacha will help you make your choice and purchase exactly the washbasin that will not overburden your budget and will perform all the necessary tasks.
Manufacturing method and materials
The material is familiar to everyone - a 1.5 liter plastic bottle, suspended with the neck down. To ensure that water flows only at the right time, you can do the following:
- Screw the nail tightly into the cork, the head should be inside. This method is bad because rust appears on the nail due to constant humidity.
- Attach a small tap to the bottle to supply water. In such a design, it is difficult to regulate the degree of opening of the tap, which entails the lid falling off.
- In addition to the bottle, you can use a bucket, basin, or plastic container. It all depends on your goals and capabilities.
