Japan Quality | Washing Machine

Shaft mounting axis within 0.2% accuracy*

Maintaining stable rotation of the washing tub requires extremely high technical capabilities. Placing the rotation axis precisely at the drum’s centre to minimise vibration is just one of the many ways Panasonic stands apart from the rest.

*This is the standard value at the Shizuoka factory.

Never compromise on what you can’t see

The spider shaft plays a critical role in drum rotation. To ensure long-lasting performance and durability, we apply a special rust-resistant coating. This attention to detail is what defines Panasonic quality.

Tested under extreme conditions, hot and cold

With summer temperatures that can exceed 50°C, the Middle East is one example of the harsh environments where our washing machines are used. To prevent performance issues, we conduct thorough testing under simulated conditions, including extreme heat, high humidity, and cold climates.

Adapts to changes in water pressure and quality

In addition to considering how water pressure fluctuates with floor level and elevation, we test our products extensively to ensure that clothes can be washed effectively in a variety of water conditions, including soft and hard water, cloudy water, and water with high salt concentrations found in coastal regions.

Prevents damage from inner leaks

We use not only water, but also detergent and salt water to confirm that no liquid can get through any gaps between precision parts. The circuit board is made of non-flammable materials, flame retardants, and double fuses, providing double and triple protection to enhance safety.

Tough enough for everyday use

In anticipation of accidental damage, the glass lid undergoes rigorous impact resistance testing with a heavy iron ball. Additionally, to simulate long-term use, the door is opened and closed over 20,000 times* to confirm long-term durability without defects.

*This is the standard value at the Shizuoka factory.

For traditional clothing of various regions

Our washing machines for the Middle East feature courses specifically for traditional garments such as thobes and abayas, an example of how we tailor our products regionally. To deepen our understanding, we also have conducted joint research with a leading Japanese manufacturer specialising in thobe fabrics.

Effective with all kinds of laundry products

To ensure compatibility with our washing machines, we test a wide variety of liquid detergents and softeners. For our automatic dispensing models in Asia, we collected over 100 types of liquid laundry products from each country and verified the appropriate usage amounts.
