Wash Big - 8kg Capacity in a Compact 600mm Body

Panasonic's new NA-148VG3WNZ washing machines give you the best of both worlds, with a large 8kg capacity drum within a compact 600mm body size.  In order to fit a drum with a large diameter inside these standard dimensions, Panasonic uses innovative 3D Sensor technology, precise rotation control and Double-Action Dampers which make it possible to minimise the gap between the drum and the body.

 

Stain Solution Programme

Panasonic's new VX3 washers are designed so that washing clothes is no longer a burden on your busy life. The advanced Stain Solution technology provides 23 stain treatments to choose from to get rid of the toughest common stains - from coffee and make-up, to red wine, the washing machine does the hard work for you. A new intuitive LCD screen on the front of the machine shows the programme you are using, the time left on the cycle as well as the temperature and spin speed, putting you in total control of every wash. The screen's error function, which shows the solution to any problem, means you'll never need to check the instruction manual.

 

Set-In Size and Wide 340mm Door Opening

Even with its large 8kg capacity drum, the NA-148VG3WNZ's body stays the same so your washing machine fits neatly into regular laundry spaces. And with a new wide 340mm door opening, it is easier than ever to load and unload your clothes.

 

Wash Smart with Panasonic ECONAVI

Unlike other conventional washing machines that do not change the washing mode based on the laundry requirements, Panasonic ECONAVI detects the laundry load and the water temperature to automatically reduce the wash time and the amount of water accordingly. With less water used, lower power consumption and shorter wash times, it's not hard to see why ECONAVI is the eco-friendly choice in washing machines.

 

Panasonic Inverter Technology

Inverter technology is key to Panasonic's industry-leading performance. The inverter automatically changes the motor's rotation and output based on sensors inside the washing machine - to achieve perfectly clean clothes. This clever technology ensures efficient energy consumption of A+++, and helps our washing machines achieve an impressive 4.5 Star Energy Rating. With a 4.5 Star Water Rating to boot (5.0 on the 10kg), it's no surprise that Panasonic washing machines aren't only gentle on clothes.

 

HydroActive+ for Efficient Washing in Less Time

Complementing the other energy saving features, Panasonic HydroActive+ uses five multi-directional showers to ensure the most efficient washing possible. These showers rapidly deliver water to enable deep and fast penetration of the laundry detergent into the clothes and fast rinsing - making for clean results in less time and energy savings.


New Large and Shapely Baffles

New large and shapely baffles thoroughly yet gently agitate clothes. These baffles are now completely free of any troublesome sharp angles, so they are more gentle on clothes than ever before.

 

Wash Gentle - New 'Sazanami Drum' Design

The newly designed Panasonic 'Sazanami Drum' features a new interior with dimple-shaped water spouts, ideal for thoroughly removing dirt while being gentle to clothes. The rounded-edged dimples not only allow for fewer holes and less bumps than a conventional drum, but they also prevent clothes from getting caught. What's more, this unique new Sazanami surface shape also provides a high spin-drying performance, further enhancing the machine's efficiency.

 

3D Sensor Wash Technology

Panasonic's innovative 3D Sensor Wash technology precisely analyses the movement of the drum in each dimension, adjusting the motor speed to optimise washing performance. By carefully controlling the new Sazanami drum's rotation speed, 3D Sensor wash technology ensures a smooth dropping-down process throughout the entire washing process. In conventional machines, with a single rotation speed, heavy clothing often collects in one place and rotation continues with the drum unbalanced. Likewise, light clothes often simply travel around 360° with the drum's rotation and do not drop properly, further hindering washing performance. 3D Sensor Wash technology detects unbalanced clothes in the drum and adjusts its rotation, which untangles clothing and ensures a stable rotation with no vibrations.

 

Quiet Operation - New Silent-Arch Body Design

Integrated into the side of the appliance, Panasonic's new 'Silent Arch' body design effectively absorbs sounds which the machine naturally makes during the washing process, reducing annoying noise and vibration. Panasonic's brushless Inverter motor also reduces the level of high-frequency noise typically associated with high-speed spin drying, so the machines are ultra-quiet even during high-speed rotation. The result is a spinning noise of only 71dB and a washing noise of only 53dB.

 

Convenient New Wash Programmes for Everyday Lifestyles

Panasonic has developed a range of convenient new wash programmes to match today's lifestyles. Mixed is great for washing clothes with a mix of cotton, linen, and synthetic fabrics. The Silk/Lingerie programme is perfect for delicate items such as lingerie and hand washable silks - using 'shower washing' to ensure less clothes damage and shrinkage. Outdoor is ideal for washing synthetic and water repellent outers, and a new Denim programme prevents colour fading through gentle washing.

 

Eco / Speed Modes

Most laundry is only lightly soiled and washed frequently, so Panasonic has introduced new Eco and Speed Modes to help users save time, water and energy. Select Normal Wash for efficient washing with normal energy consumption. New Speed Mode is perfect for shorter washing times, and Eco Mode is great for taking advantage of energy and water saving washing, if users don't mind waiting a bit longer for their clean clothes.

 

Aqua Protection System and Child Lock

Panasonic's original 'Aqua Protection System' ensures watertight, safe operation. When water is filling the drum or draining out, sensors detect if there is any leakage and respond by shutting off the water supply at the source.

A child lock keeps the door sealed so children can't accidentally open it while the machine is running, and locks all the buttons to prevent them from changing programmes.
