Panasonic’s Care+ Stain Expert Top Load Washing Machine Powerfully Tackles Laundry Dirt and Stains for Big Families

Superior wash performance to tackle stubborn dirt and stains

March 17, 2021, Manila, Philippines - Panasonic’s new Inverter Top Load Washing Machines with large capacities ranging from 14 kg to 16 kg are incorporated with Panasonic’s innovative Care+ Stain Expert concept which powers up for a superior wash performance to provide big, active families with clean, pristine, and dirt-free clothes.

“At Panasonic, making our customers’ life better drives us to work hard at developing only the most high-performance, powerful, and reliable appliances that make home life more manageable. Families want to focus on strengthening their bonds by doing what they love and not restricting their activities because of things like dirt and stains.

“Our powerful V1 top load washing machine series is built with renowned Japan technology, quality, and design that caters for big families with growing kids, easily tackling a variety of dirt stains caused by everyday living and playing. These washers take care of deeply soiled clothes effortlessly so that children can play to their heart's content and parents no longer need to worry about their kids’ dirty clothes. This innovation in technology, quality, and design embody our commitment to serving the lifestyle needs of our customers so that they can spend time on what matters most to them,” said Mr. Masatoshi Sasaki, Panasonic Manufacturing Philippines Corporation (PMPC) president.

The Care+ Stain Expert concept features Water Bazooka¹ which churns powerful water flow powered by Panasonic’s TD Inverter that penetrates deep into fabrics, removing stains and detergent residue effectively. Washing away clothes soiled by kids will no longer be a hassle with Water Bazooka which provides for an enhanced wash and rinse performance.

Panasonic’s proprietary TD inverter technology enables an efficient and powerful operation that incorporates the new Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor. The transmission gears efficiently convert ‘speed’ to ‘power’ throughout the wash operation cycle.

The forceful water flow not only removes stains but detergent residue as well, improving washing performance to up to 14%². The TD inverter can generate six times more power for optimal wash and rinse using less energy. Users can benefit from savings on energy consumption of up to 40%³, as well as use 60%⁴ less water with the ‘Water Save’ course.

Panasonic’s innovative StainMaster+⁵ and ActiveFoam System combine to deep clean and effortlessly remove even the most challenging and stubborn stains with a hot wash⁵ and scrub wash effect. Users no longer need to do time-consuming pre-care such as soaking or handwashing on stained clothes prior to machine wash.

StainMaster+ removes stubborn stains without the need for pre-wash care

StainMaster+ simply breaks down a variety of stains and eliminates up to 99.99%⁶ of invisible bacteria on fabrics with six types of special wash courses. These wash courses can be selected to remove particular smears caused by sauce, sweat, mud, oil, and grime from collars and sleeves, using a combination of a scrub wash effect and ideal water temperature.

The ActiveFoam System incorporated with TurboMixer agitates the detergent and transforms it into fine, high-density foam at the start of the wash cycle, thereby maximizing detergent power. The fine foam lifts, separates, and removes stubborn dirt from deep within the fibers for an extra clean wash.

Panasonic’s attention to detail is found in its aesthetic and functional design that is highly intertwined in this high-performance top load washer. The modern, minimalist design of the V1 series comes with a compact body and a wide opening with a full circle inlet that incorporates design with practicality. The wide opening inlet allows for easy loading and unloading of large laundry loads or oversized laundry items such as comforters.

The top load washing machine design can meld seamlessly in modern homes with its streamlined, minimalist design that comes with a soft-closing, frameless flat lid made of tempered glass. This soft-closing tempered glass lid closes gently to prevent the lid from slamming down hard and hurting your fingers. It gives users a wider visual scope of area for them to view the wash operations. The washing machine boasts a sleek and easy-touch control panel for intuitive operations which is mounted on a frameless glass lid that is easy to access.
