What is the difference between NWB wipers and Denso wipers?
3 Answers
NWB wipers and Denso wipers differ in terms of pneumatic and electric operation. Pneumatic: These are wipers driven by compressed air. NWB is a brand under Denso's wiper division, also known as DENs0. NWB wipers are referred to as windshield wipers, wiper blades, etc. Approximately 80% of NWB's products are supplied to Japanese and global automobile manufacturers. Most Japanese car models use NWB wipers as original equipment, and since 2013, many European, American, and Korean car models also use NWB wipers. The remaining 20% of NWB products are supplied to the global automotive aftermarket. Additionally, NWB is the OEM manufacturer for Denso wipers and is credited with inventing the three-stage wiper. Electric: These are wipers driven by an electric motor. Denso wipers are produced by Denso Corporation of Japan.
I love tinkering with car parts in my spare time and have replaced quite a few wiper blades. The NWB brand specializes mainly in wiper blades and is commonly used as original equipment for Japanese cars. They are highly durable, with excellent rubber material that can withstand over three years of rain wiping without degradation. As for DENSO, this company is a major player, not only producing wiper blades but also a range of other parts. Their wiper technology is more innovative, featuring things like rain-sensing and automatic speed adjustment, which is super convenient. The difference is that NWB focuses more on a single product, offering affordability and reliability, while DENSO is a comprehensive supplier with higher functional integration, giving a tech-savvy feel when installed in high-end cars. In practical use, NWB is suitable for daily commuting, saving costs, while DENSO is better for long trips or rainy regions, offering smarter performance.
When it comes to wiper replacement, both NWB and Denso are quality brands, but there's a significant price difference. NWB is more affordable, costing just a few dozen yuan per pair, and lasts a long time—replacing them every two years isn't a big deal. Denso is pricier, especially the newer models, which may come with features like anti-freeze coatings or noise reduction. In terms of cost-effectiveness, NWB wins for being budget-friendly and practical, while Denso excels in harsh weather conditions, such as performing more thoroughly in heavy rain. Personally, I use NWB more often and find it sufficient, while Denso suits those with a bigger budget. Both are easy to install during replacement, with no complicated steps, though Denso's design fits vehicle systems better, offering slightly better compatibility.
