Panasonic unveils eco-friendly appliances

Panasonic has unveiled an eco-friendly washing machine that uses less water and humidifying air purifiers that are effective against air borne impurities.

The washing machine models launched today (December 20) include the NA-148VB3, NA-127VB3 for the B series, and 140VG3 and 148VG3 for the G series, a statement from the company said.

It ensures optimum water and energy consumption by detecting waste. The Econavi machines reduce wash time and power consumption by 45 percent, and consumes less water.

The G series of washing machines comes with 3D sensor, perfect sense, hydroactive+ and inverter motor which works together to ensure clean results and the best resource savings.

“It’s A+++ energy label is a guarantee that it will help minimise energy consumption, while it’s high performance design, flexibility and ease of use mean washing has never been so efficient,” said Shoaib Tareen, deputy general manager, consumer electronics department, Panasonic marketing, Middle East.

The Panasonic hydroactive+ technology consists in 5 point multi-directional showers coming from 5 directions which rapidly penetrate items and guarantee efficient washing and rinsing.

In addition, the perfect sense technology detects precisely the amount of clothes to reduce waste of water and get the best washing results, the statement said.

The 3D sensor wash analyses the movement of the drum, detecting the movement of the laundry in the machine and makes adjustments to enable the laundry to tumble from the optimal position.

Panasonic washing machines allows the user to choose from a host of customised care programmes and options that deliver perfect results, the new drum further protects clothes during washing and assures an efficient rinsing, it said.

The 34 cm large aperture makes it easy to load and wash big volumes of clothes, and the advanced stain master technology provides 23 stain treatments to get rid of the toughest of common stains.

A new LCD screen on the front of the machine shows the programme being used and the time left in the cycle as well as the temperature and spin speed, putting the user in total control of every wash.

The eco/speed mode gives the option to save time: reduce the time of the wash by 40 percent with speed mode, or use 50 percent less energy and 30 percent less water with eco mode.

Panasonic also launched its new humidifier air purifiers, F-VXF70M, F-VXF35M, both of which are equipped with nanoe OH radicals.

“Now, with the new range of air purifiers, nanoe OH radicals can activate better since moisture in the air can be set by these machines in a comfortable and conducive manner, thanks to the humidifier function,” said Motoharu Sugaya, product manager, Panasonic marketing Middle East.

The new air purifiers are energy efficient which can reduce 40 percent of the normal energy consumption, EcoNavi function, which works like a sensor with memory, the statement said.

The F-VXF70M is equipped with a strong suction power called the mega catcher which has a powerful suction power, which enables dust and other air pollutants lying within 30 cm above the ground to be captured faster, it said.
