How about Panasonic Panasonic front-loading washing machine brand introduction

Recommended models for flagship models: VD9059, Alpha P1DL, Alpha VR108
 
Recommended washing and drying models: XQG90-EG920, XQG100-EG125
 
Panasonic is a well-established home appliance brand popular with Chinese consumers, and has won the highest honor in the domestic home appliance industry for many years, "Aplan Award", and in the Japanese domestic market, Panasonic washing machine market share has also maintained the second place all year round, and the design and technology of Panasonic's flagship products often represent the industry's leading level.
 
Panasonic's entire line of drum products claim to use "inverter motors", but now "inverter motors" are already standard for drum washing machines, not a highlight worth boasting about, Panasonic uses advanced BLDC DC inverter brushless motors in mid-to-high-end products, while most other products still use more traditional AC inverter motors.
 
BLDC motor is comparable to DD direct drive motor another major motor genre, BLDC has the excellent speed regulation characteristics of DC motor and AC motor reliable and low noise characteristics, compared with the rear DD direct drive motor, BLDC motor can directly replace the traditional motor without changing the original structure, reduce the design and manufacturing cost, in the washing and dehydration control, BLDC control difficulty is also smaller, comprehensive performance and DD motor is indistinguishable. Although the AC inverter motor used by Panasonic is mature and reliable, it may not be much different from the DC motor in use, but the gap in efficiency can reach as much as double.
 
Panasonic front-loading washing machines use patented foam generation technology, which quickly converts detergent into foam when water is injected, improving washing results and reducing residues. Equipped with an X-shaped stainless steel inner barrel, it also stands out for dehydration performance and clothing protection. In addition, Panasonic drum washing machines also have more sensors than other brands, such as cloth quantity, cloth quality, foam, water temperature and water level, 3D balance sensors, etc., which can optimize the washing and spinning procedures more intelligently in automatic mode, and achieve a balance between washing performance, clothing protection, and water and electricity saving. In the mid-to-high-end models, it is also equipped with a variety of technologies such as photodynamic silver sterilization, nano water ion deodorization, bipolar mite removal and so on.
 
Panasonic's entry-level models all use more traditional AC motors, the configuration is pitiful, the number of sensors is small, and the low-temperature sterilization and mite removal technology is rarely carried, the maximum temperature of individual models is only 60 degrees, lower than the conventional 95 degrees, and the price is about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, and there are many powerful competitors at the same price, and Panasonic's performance at this price is lackluster.
 
The Romeo series washing and drying machine is the main model of Panasonic, with a stylish shape, wide windows and doors are very eye-catching, and the larger barrel diameter allows the thickness of the whole machine to be reduced and save space. Although it is still equipped with an AC motor, the functionality and intelligence have been significantly improved compared with the entry-level model, and it is basically equipped with a wire chip collector and sensor to effectively reduce the residual wire chips after drying, and the high-end model is equipped with the JET large air volume drying function, which can keep the clothes flat and loose. Some high-end models support photodynamic silver sterilization and nano water ion deodorization, the former can be sterilized with silver ions at low water temperature, and the latter is equivalent to waterless air washing.
 
The inclined roller is a high-end product line of Panasonic, and the functions on the Romeo series are basically equipped, and the price starts at 7000 yuan. The oblique drum is more convenient to put and take clothes, the field of vision is better, and there is no need to release water when adding clothes halfway, but the capacity is not easy to make bigger, and the same capacity is about 10 cm thicker than the general model, and the tilt also affects the efficiency of the drum beating clothes, and there are still many technical problems that are difficult to overcome, and only a few manufacturers such as Panasonic insist on producing such products. Panasonic inclined roller is equipped with BLDC brushless DC motor, which keeps up with the mainstream and performs well in terms of intelligence, integrating many sensors to detect the moisture content of clothes and judge the main material, and intelligently set the time and water level. Among them, XQG100-VR108 is the most prestigious flagship washer-dryer in the past two years, in addition to the flagship configuration, the biggest highlight is the integrated heat pump dryer, compared with the common condensation drying can save up to half of the energy consumption, and the dried clothes are more fluffy and flat.
 
The Alpha series is a flagship sub-brand of Panasonic, similar to LG's seal series, and the flagship XQG100-VR108 belongs to the Alpha series. Today's Alfa series has abandoned the design of the diagonal roller, and the new products pay more attention to the appearance, and work together with "Porsche Design" to use exquisite materials. The new-generation Alpha XQG100-P1DL uses a 1,600-rpm flagship motor and a five-point suspension suspension system, and is also the only product from Panasonic with an intelligent delivery function. In addition, some details are also very user-friendly, and after each washing of clothes, the door will automatically open a crack to "breathe" to keep the bucket dry and clean.
 
Panasonic household washing machines are guaranteed for three years, and public machines are guaranteed for one year, which is the industry average. Most of the washing machines under Panasonic are designed and manufactured in China, and there are fewer highlights of the entry-level models, and it is a pity that the AC motor is still used at this stage, and the mid-to-high-end products have a variety of intelligent functions and sterilization and mite removal technology, and the inclined drum also has enough differentiation, but the lack of intelligent detergent function is slightly insufficient. The flagship model is imported from Japan, which truly represents the top level of Japanese home appliances, and is undoubtedly the most worthwhile model for Panasonic.
