Panasonic Marketing Middle East & Africa (PMMAF) today announced the regional debut of its latest smart appliance – water dispenser with ice-making feature. Consistent with all of the Japanese manufacturer’s electronic appliances, the water dispenser offers superior features and cutting-edge innovations, including Auto Ice Making technology, which allows it to produce 9 pieces of ice cubes every 8 to 10 minutes. The appliance, which has big ice capacity of 1.5 kg, is engineered with an intelligent sensor for Touchless Dispensing cold water and ice cubes. On top of these, the ice cube storage tank is equipped with UV LED, keeping the ice cubes clean, and thus eliminating any risks of bacterial contamination.

Takashi Sasaki, Director, Consumer Marketing Division, PMMAF, said: “Panasonic has been making breakthrough appliances for over 100 years and we are delighted to introduce another innovation to the region that carries the highest Japanese quality standard our customers have always appreciated from us. Keeping in mind the needs of the local market, we were very purposeful in the design and development of this brand-new water dispenser with ice-making technology.”

“This product stands out with its smart features. For one, its ice-making technology is unmatched – making it possible to produce a total of 12kg of ice cubes per day – ensuring users of a continuous supply of clean ice.

Its enhanced sanitary features are also unparallelled, making it ideal for homes and commercial spaces alike,” Sasaki added.

The water dispenser’s aseptic ice storage tank is like no other, embodying Panasonic’s focus on health and cleanliness. The sealed storage along with the UV LED combine to prevent any bacterial contamination. In addition to its core features, the water dispenser with ice maker is built with a 9-finger stainless-steel evaporator, making it hygienic, durable and reliable.
