Daffy D Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm looking to buy a replacement wall fan. Fed up with Hatari so thought I'd try Mitsubishi, they seem to have a good name. So looking through Lazada I see there are a couple of 18in Remote models, W18-RA and W18-RZ-BL, but for the life of me I can't see the difference between them.

clivebaxter Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Probably find the same on Lazada for 10k as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Maybe there is no difference. Sometimes even the same shops show the same item two times with different prices. I suggest use the chat function and chat with them. They you also get an idea how fast the shop responds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2long Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Agreed. Probably the same fan with different model numbers. At the end of the day, just buy one and never ever research or compare afterwards.... just in case you did wrong. ????

Andrew Dwyer Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The info on this screenshot would seem to indicate A and Z are different years of production ?? Sort of like production code on tyres. ?? Seems like a strange idea but I got it from Mitsubishi-Thailand website. despite the text is from Myanmar or Cambodia ?? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea! Agree with that, never check after you made the purchase As for the different model numbers, I don't really care just curious what the difference is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) From shop selling both on Shopee the RZ is 2020 model and RA is 2021 model. https://shopee.co.th/MITSUBISHI-พัดลมติดผนัง-W16-RZ-แบบรีโมทคอนโทรล-ปี2020-i.92736235.1600628756 https://shopee.co.th/พัดลมติดผนัง-(W18-RA)-แบบรีโมทคอนโทรล-ยี่ห้อ-Mitsubishi-รุ่นใหม่-ปี-2021-i.92736235.1600644000?position=1 Edited July 29, 2021 by lopburi3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmaxdan Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm willing to bet that the different codes are purely based on colour. For example, the BL in W18-RZ-BL would suggest that the fan is black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they change the model number without changing any specks? And the year numbering seems a bit strange RZ is 2020 model and RA is 2021 model. What about B to Y how are they going to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you never been in a supermarket before? Prices for the exact same item can and do vary... and not just in supermarkets... a manufacturer sells wholesale and then the retailer puts the price they want on it... sometimes the wholesale price can vary according to the volume purchased..
