Station wagon VCh-1600 Nostalgia

1. Good quality enamel. Over time, it did not turn yellow, it is easy to wash, just with a sponge with a regular product. 2. The set includes legs adjustable in height. 3. The price is lower than that of competitors for similar models. 4. Well, if it's cast-iron, then it's reliable! I don't think I will have to buy a new bath soon. At least I hope so.

A 220 liter single cast iron bathtub is more than enough. We do not recruit every day, one might even say once a week. Water remains hot for a long time, compared to our old metal - heaven and earth. The coating is white, when we examined it, we did not notice any stains. And now no.

Advantages: Very good quality enamel, even, wide and deep.

Disadvantages: No anti-slip

Comment: I chose it for a long time, but settled on it, because the length suited it and there was still a little space for a shelf made of tiles across the entire width of the bath side, now there are all the bottles there. A very pleasant classic bathtub, it is comfortable to lie in it due to its good width and depth. Ideal for large people due to its shape and interior space. I recommend!

Advantages: Availability of the required overall size (length 160 cm), material cast iron! - and that says it all (does not rattle, does not bend, unlike other materials), really deep in comparison with foreign counterparts, good quality of the enamel coating and the product itself as a whole!

Disadvantages: For transportation, one could come up with some kind of packaging that protects the enamel coating. The bath is delivered to the buyer on a pallet with a small piece of cardboard at the bottom. There is a fairly high risk of damage during transportation by careless loaders.

Comment: Due to the geometry of the bathroom, I was looking for a bathtub no more than 160 cm long, which is far from the most popular size on the market in our time, I must say. I immediately decided for myself - the material is only cast iron. I chose between the "Chinese" model and the Nostalgia Universal 160x75 cast iron. After reading the reviews here, we agreed with the seller - I come upon arrival, inspect the goods, and only after that we arrange home delivery. But, fortunately, the problem of "mushrooms", chips and other annoying troubles passed me. The domestic manufacturer pleased with a more even coating without roughness and flaws. The bath is deep compared to foreigners (25-30 percent), my daughter is happy - the bath is deeper, diving has become even more interesting (before that there was an old cast iron 150x70x40 or so).A separate conversation about the legs that go (or still do not go !?) included. When I was examining the bathtub in the warehouse, there were separate legs on the pallet next to it, although when ordering, delivery without them was stipulated (but it was clearly a set !!!). Moreover, they were so rusted that it is not necessary to speak of a "commercial" form at all. To my question, the seller replied that this was supposedly another order, not for my bath. Moreover, the cost of the legs from this seller was twice as much as in a well-known hardware store! In general, you understand where I got them)) Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase. I recommend to everyone who needs an excellent bathtub at an affordable affordable price, especially if you need a non-popular size. Special thanks to the manufacturer, looking at such products, one can even believe that import substitution can be a reality in our country!

Advantages: Fits the size of our bath, suits the shape and design, average price, light color, uniform gloss.

Disadvantages: From 160 cm, the choice is small.

Comment: The simple and laconic shape of the bathtub is cast iron, not thin steel. In this size 160, competition is weak both from our manufacturer, and among foreign models, there is also little choice. Steel options have a greater variety, but this material is also cheaper (although there are very expensive ones) and less reliable in the opinion of many experts and amateurs. Acrylic has a mountain of all kinds of models, there is also a hydromassage in some baths. The price range is wide, there are representatives of all segments. About quality - depends on acrylic, and therefore on the cost of the bath.

Advantages: White, 458 mm deep, wide, shiny.

Disadvantages: It is 1600 mm that you can not find.

Comment: Give me two! That is how I would describe my impressions. I was looking for a wider bath, in this sense there is complete order. I was looking for a deeper bath - and here there can be no complaints, like the deepest one for this manufacturer, this brand. I was looking for a cast iron one - choose which one you want, although there were more models in the catalog. Smooth, without roughness. The color is white - even too white, I hope it will remain so. Glossy, rubbed to a shine.

Advantages: The width is felt on the first dive and the next; the bottom is even, not like the floor in the bathroom, but it turns out to stand without discomfort, the feet do not hurt after the shower; it's easy to climb in and out.

Disadvantages: I was afraid to ruin the tiles when I saw the system of adjustable legs.

Comment: I really did arouse nostalgia, I recall the old yellow bathtub at my grandfather's, well, there is very little of the enamel left for so many years and winters, the model seems to be different. It will last at least 10 years (without losing part of its enamel and not turning yellow) - it will pay off.

Advantages: The enamel is smooth and neat outside, generally cool

Disadvantages: No

Comment:

Advantages: I chose a bathtub exactly 160, the nostalgic baths are the cheapest of all cast-iron bathtubs, I compared the smoothness of the coating, the nostalgia had it smoother than the Chinese-made bathtubs in this price category. Please note that the legs are not always included, the legs for cast-iron bathtubs Universal adjustable (set of 4 legs) are suitable for them. it is more durable)

Comment:

Advantages: A good bath, there are nuances with the installation that can be solved. I would like to buy a bath and just put it on. There are adjustable legs.

Disadvantages: The legs had to be bought separately.

Comment: In general, we are satisfied with the bathroom, its coating is white, shiny, washed without problems, even when there are concerns .... We fiddled with the legs, the set was sold to us with non-adjustable legs, but we took them without thinking ... I had to go to another store and buy adjustable ones, since it is quite problematic to align the bathtub in our houses, especially the old ones ...
