Creating Ultrafine Foam for Superb Washing Performance

The ActiveFoam System turns detergent into fine foam from the beginning of the wash cycle. This highly concentrated foam completely surrounds clothes and attaches to dirt, which is then lifted away with powerful water flow.
Even stubborn stains are quickly and easily washed away with the ActiveFoam System.

*The level of foaming depends on conditions such as load size, degree of soiling, detergent type and water hardness. However, a satisfactory level of washing performance is maintained.

How the ActiveFoam System Works

Step1

Fins on the underside of the pulsator rotate and dissolve detergent in water at the bottom of the tub. Fine, creamy, highly concentrated foam is generated.

Step2

A waterfall of foam cascades down rapidly onto clothes. Fine foam penetrates into clothes quickly and wraps around dirt.

Step3

Ring showers pour from 6 outlets to repeatedly regenerate foam, helping it to penetrate deeply into clothes.

*The level of foaming depends on conditions such as load size, degree of soiling, detergent type and water hardness. However, a satisfactory level of washing performance is maintained.

Excellent Washing Result

*Note: Based on internal testing. Washing results may vary depending on conditions.

Ergonomically Designed Rear Control Panel with Electrostatic Touch

To minimize the burden on the neck, the control panel is angled so that it's in the user's line of vision. And the smart electrostatic touch panel enables operation even when the lid is open.

Wider Tub Opening and Lower Front Height for Easy Loading

<Wider tub opening>
-Since the control panel doesn’t block the opening, the opening is wider.
-It's easy to put in blankets and other large items.
-It's easy to see to the bottom of the tub.

<Lower front height>
-The opening is slanted to make it lower and the tub is shallow.
-It's easy to load and unload items even if you aren't tall.

*All of the above figures are approximate (mm).
*Comparison made with Panasonic front control panel model (16kg model - NA-FS16X2)

Better than Hand Washing!

Gentle Hand Wash for washing delicate items with your washing machine.

Now you can wash delicate items you previously hand-washed or had dry-cleaned. Just put clothes on the “Gentle Hand Wash Net” in the tub. Foam and water pour down and pass through clothes with water flow made by the Dual Pulsator to easily remove dirt. Since the clothes don't directly touch the pulsator or rub against each other, they are washed clean without being damaged.
With gentle yet powerful washing, say good-bye to troublesome hand washing!

Less Damage

The pulsator rotates strongly to circulate water, and the water and fine foam quickly pass through fiberes. The clothes stay still on the net, so they aren't subjected to any mechanical friction or rubbing by other clothes that could damage them.

*Note: When you select the Gentle Hand Wash course, please be sure to place the Gentle Hand Wash Net in the tub.
*Note: Gentle Hand Wash can be used for loads of up to 2.5kg
*Do not use bleach. Use liquid delicate detergent. After operation ends, take out clothes immediately. (To prevent wrinkles and colour staining)

Detects Conditions of your Laundry and Optimize Energy and Time

1. Laundry Load Sensor
When the load is small, the water level is reduced to save water. The optimum water volume is selected each time to avoid waste.

2. Water Temperature Sensor
ECONAVI detects the temperature to judge how easily the detergent will dissolve and selects the optimum washing time.
