Panasonic countertop dishwashers are unbeatable in Japan, with a market share of up to 70%. Panasonic entered the Chinese dishwasher market earlier, and also participated in the drafting of the "Household and Similar Electric Dishwashers" (QB/T1520-2013), but after entering the domestic market, Panasonic still mainly promoted desktop machines, ignoring the layout of embedded products, and the market performance was not outstanding.
 
Similar to Haier, Panasonic also mainly promotes 6 sets of desktop dishwashers, and currently sells 3 series on the official website: NP-TCM1, NP-TR1 and NP-TH1, with prices between 2000-4300 yuan, and a quick wash function as standard, which is suitable for tableware with a light degree of dirt. In addition to the waste heat condensation drying technology, Panasonic dishwashers also use fans to remove water vapor, and the drying effect is good. In addition, the speed of the spray arm of the Panasonic dishwasher is close to 60 rpm, but the speed of the spray arm is too high, which will shorten the time that the water column stays on the dishes and affect the washing effect. In comparison, Siemens' spray arm has a 20 rpm spray arm and is more effective at removing food debris.
 
NP-TCM1 and NP-TR1 series are both products listed in 2016, and the price is about 3,000 yuan. The main differences between the two are in the basket design and cleaning procedures. NP-TCM1 uses a single-layer plastic basket with many internal grooves, which is not easy to remove food residues, and needs to be disassembled and washed regularly, which is a cumbersome process, so it is not recommended for users to buy. The NP-TR1 has two layers of baskets, making full use of the interior space, and stainless steel is also easier to clean than plastic. In addition, the NP-TR1 has a new "small amount washing" function to cope with the situation of a small number of tableware. Both series do not have a water softener, and dishwashing salt cannot be added when washing, which undoubtedly affects the washing capacity of the machine.
 
On the other hand, Haier, which also started with desktop computers, most of its products are equipped with water softeners, which can reduce the hardness of the imported water and improve the cleaning capacity of the machine. Panasonic is also aware of the demand for domestic consumption, so the new NP-TH1 series has added a water softener and is equipped with a self-cleaning system that can filter food residue and then discharge it through a drain pump. The addition of independent heating and drying technology further improves the drying effect and also adapts to the trend of dishwashers.
 
The king of dishwashers is undoubtedly the built-in machine, Panasonic is mainly based on desktop machines in Japan, but now it has to follow the trend and launch built-in dishwashers with better cleaning capacity. The domestic sales of Panasonic embedded machine are generally imported from Japan, the price is as high as more than 10,000 yuan, the capacity is only 8 sets, and the function is relatively simple.
