So far my National ones (circa 1995 or 1997 by original house owner) still working fine.. I think not punching it with cow strength helps
I still reuse another square type panasonic (air bubble jet series).. just installed 2nd time (new place) and changed mounting pole to stationary holder type
Also bought another DH-3MS1MW for RM278 on pee pee coz can get RM23 cashback coins
Panasonic?
Technically beyond the
basic model with pump DH-3RP1MK, you're paying for the
push button feature and mounting pole (height adjustable) for the holder DH-3MP1MW, other higher series just nicer plastic casing and chrome bits for the shower head & mount
(purely cosmetics)Cheapest one that fits the bill is the basic model DH-3RP1MK
With Ag+ shower head and pole mounting and push button DH-3MP1MW - I recommend this one coz of the shower head
Functionally the same 3600W internals (heater)- unless you take the 4800W super powerful long model for highlands (if you're in cold place)
Need to research where these are made.. but IIRC these are 3800W models using 16.5A
The usual spec was around 3300W- now increased to 3600W for standard pana models. 3600W consume 15.6A, 3300 14.3A at 230V
With increasing power ur water when showering can maintain target temp better if flow is strong. It also means higher demand on the wiring.. best is to use 4mm wires, 2.5mm minimum also gets warm after a 20 mins usage.

Looks good, this is the latest model w LCD screen.
However I still like basic functional design using knob control, less things to fail..
coz LCDs..well none of my casio calculators from high school are usable now (15 years later) coz the LCD screen turned purple.
Basic model DH-3RP1MK (with pump) is good enough?
DH-3MS1MW is same as basic model DH-3RP1MK but without pump?
and DH-3MP1MW - this one is same as basic model but additional features with push button and mounting pole?
I saw some sellers wrote DC pump and Jet pump.. Are both not same?
