QUOTE(Pain4UrsinZ @ Mar 29 2018, 01:53 PM) my concern is regarding the safety like electrocuted, is actually all the same compliance ? I don't know if all are the same. I know I have a National water heater that served for 15+ years. And National is now known as Panasonic. Panasonic is the top 10 consumer electronics company in the whole world. IF brand A, a local brand, is almost the same price versus Panasonic, I will buy the Panasonic. Why? Panasonic have a good history for me, and my other appliances by Panasonic -- fridge, air con, all work well. I won't buy a small local brand cause who knows if they will still be in business tomorrow? And do they have the resources to do the QC? Or they just import it white label from a factory in China and sell it here? I dunno, and don't want to waste my time to think about it.

i would trust panasonic for one reason.. the RCD inside is a real mechanical unit with mechanical disconnect. not a simple pcb

Take photo of the modal and part. They should have spare parts

My National aircon last time use for 10yrs+... minimal servicing works fine... old liao so i butt itchy change to Panasonic... now every year need servicce otherwise performance like crap...

Air con need to service every year. Cause use more. Last time air con don’t use that often as weather was cooler. At least that’s my case. The Panasonic air con that’s not cold is is the inverter series for me. The R22 normal air con still going strong.

My friend work in panasonic aircon R&D. He said the quality is different now as the parts and design have to be cost down. Thanks to stiff competitive from china. Been using panasonic for 20yrs now. I think would get back the panasonic or change to Mitsubishi.

Hi Guys, I need recommendation for water heater. Mine is a 10+ years National heater and not really any issue. But my problem is that the water flow is not ideal. Does that mean that I have to get the ones with build in pump to increase water flow rate? Thanks
