This the seller never says. But 8.5 years ago when I'm sourcing for WM(shop A), they also asked me to take Hitachi and it proven to work till now but with some problems on alignment.
And on Sunday(shop B), again the seller says the same thing.
As a Panasonic die hard fan, this makes me wonder to get a Panasonic WM or stick to Hitachi.
Again, getting WM will less fancy functions sure will last long. After all, it still pour water, spin, drain. But FL do have dancing functions like what my company gives us in the villa. It only need 2 years to have this function.
nowadays warranty period proven its reliability - where all maker more of less have same among of warranty period e.g 10-12 years compressor warranty...
next would be design/feature and price....
some ppl started to have hitachi, pana, toshiba fridge during their kid era hence this created a 'brand' to their heart....
sometime really got to dare to try new thing bit
