I chose the 2 panels instead of the 4 panels.. cos simpler design mahdunno leh nowadays these electrical applicances if can last for 5 to 7 years i think considered to have long life span liao loractually quite true la.. it oso depends on how we use the appliances..have to sayang them loh..A/c den mayb need to service regularly..
