Panasonic Washer Dryer Combo

Panasonic, the leading brand name for which Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is best known, unveiled its innovative tilted-drum washer-dryer that uses no heater or water during the dry cycle. Incorporating a heat-pump dryer for the first time in the world, the NA-VR1000 completes a cycle of washing and drying using half the energy, water and time required for our conventional model.

Panasonic's heat-pump drying system has revolutionized the dry cycle, completely eliminating the need for a heater and water. The new drying system dries clothes by exchanging heat via heat-pump unit. As it does not let heat or moisture escape outside the dryer drum, it is highly energy efficient. Also, the superior drying and moisture removing capability dries garments more quickly. For example, three dress shirts will dry in 20 minutes (one-third of the time) and a bulky blanket in one and a half hours (one-half of the time), compared to other conventional dryers.
