Heat-Pump Drying System - Panasonic
The NA-VR1000 also features the newly-developed "warm water jet and foam washing system." The warm water jet adds more cleaning power to the foam washing system that is used in the current models. Combined with concentrated detergent foam, it eliminates bacteria and odor more effectively than cold-water washes. Cold-water wash can also be selected according to need. The washing system is included in the tilted-drum washer-dryer models released in China this month.
Loaded with Panasonic's ideas for high performance, greener environment and user convenience, the NA-VR1000 responds to user needs. According to a survey, consumers give great importance to savings in energy, water and time when buying a drum-type washer-dryer.
Panasonic expects overall demand for washers in Japan to double to 4.5 million units by March 2006. Among them, washer and dryer combination machines will be 630,000 units, up 132 percent from a year ago. This accounts for about 15 percent of the total demand for fully-automatic washers. As consumers become increasingly conscious about environmental soundness and performance of their appliances, the company believes the demand for drum-type washer-dryers will increase.
Mr. Yoshitaka Hayashi, President of Matsushita Home Appliances Company informed that they believe it's time for us to bring new value-added products such as this washer-dryer to China and other parts of Asia. They have been building up their home appliance business overseas, especially in those markets.
