Panasonic’s range of cutting-edge Home Appliances

In this hectic time-poor age, we’re all looking for ways to make life easier – and save money. Look no further than Panasonic’s comprehensive range of cutting-edge Home Appliances. From state of the art washing machines that save energy and money – to air conditioners that sense people in the room – and a new generation of rice cookers that make perfect rice and the curry to go with it!

In addition to sporting sleek looks, the Panasonic VG series washing machines are smart, quiet and eco-friendly.

Across the range, the clever ECONAVI sensor technology ensures the perfect wash every time with less waste. Plus, the specially engineered Silent Arch acoustic body and Inverter brushless motor reduce noise and make it so quiet you could easily use this washing machine at night without disturbing the family or neighbours.

These washing machines are able to measure the temperature of the water and reduce the time of the wash cycle accordingly. A shorter running time will mean less electricity consumed and you get your clothes cleaned more quickly. The amazing active sensors mean that the Eco-Wash options use 50% less power and 30% less water. In fact, the new VX Series features market leading 4.5 star energy ratings.

The ECONAVI technology also spins the drum a few times to check the mass of the clothes in order to determine how much water to inject into the drum – again reducing water usage and the energy used to warm the water.

As if that wasn’t enough, the advanced ‘Stain Master’ technology feature has 23 stain treatments to choose from. These remove the toughest common stains – like lipstick, coffee, juice, oil or wine – by automatically selecting the optimum temperature, rotation power and soaking required.

Discover more about the Panasonic’s cutting-edge Washing Machines with ECONAVI right here.

Panasonic Air Conditioners now use revolutionary ECONAVI intelligent eco sensors to moderate the temperature according to room usage.

This smart technology senses when there are people in the room and how much activity is occurring, then automatically adjusts the temperature so that less energy is used. The ‘low activity detection’ mode monitors the room, decreasing cooling when there is less movement, while the ‘absence detection’ feature switches to a slightly less powerful cooling mode when there is no one in the room at all. With an energy saving of up to 40% during heating and 30% during cooling*, that makes Panasonic Air Conditioners both environment friendly and power bill friendly – as well as an elegant addition to your household.

Microwave Ovens with Panasonic’s Inverter Technology

Panasonic microwave ovens offer yet more ways to take the strain out of life – and add more flexibility to your cooking repertoire.

Panasonic’s ingenious Flatbed Cooking Technology removes the need for a conventional cooking turntable. This gives you more room to be creative in the kitchen and greater flexibility for cooking with larger dishes by giving you twenty 20% more workspace.

Our Inverter Cooking Technology also delivers more evenly cooked food, through graduated power sequences. This accurate cooking control preserves texture and flavour, in addition to preventing food spill-over, burnt edges and uneven cooking. The Inverter Turbo Defrost system dramatically reduces defrosting times, allowing you to cook on the fly.

Panasonic Rice Cookers – So Much More Than Perfect Rice

When is a rice cooker not just a rice cooker? When it not only delivers perfect rice but also creates porridge, cakes, slow-cooked curries and soup – using automatic menu programs.

The Panasonic Rice Cookers’ advanced Fuzzy Logic technology controls temperatures based on the ingredients you’re using and the cooking environment, ensuring you get the best possible results every time. Both the SR-MS183WST and the SR-DE183WST cook up to 20 cups of rice at a time – perfectly. Then, when cooking is finished, the unit automatically switches to Warm Mode so the rice is maintained at the perfect serving temperature.

Whipping up all manner of mouth-watering meals in the kitchen doesn’t have to be complicated and time consuming, and you don’t need to be a master chef either. Two new rice cookers from Panasonic, the SR-DF101WST and SR-DF181WST, make meal time preparation simple and both are very easy to use, with large one-touch control buttons for the four menu options.

Cooking perfectly steamed white and brown rice, up to 10 cups in the SR-DF101WST and 20 in the SR-DF181WST, is just the beginning for these versatile cookers. Unleash your creativity and use them for cooking soup or porridge and you can even steam food like dumplings using the steam basket.

As you would expect from a Panasonic product, these rice cookers feature advanced technology designed to make cooking easier for you. Advanced Fuzzy Logic technology means the rice cookers can, amazingly, make independent judgement calls based on the ingredients and cooking environment and then adjust the temperature and cooking time in the same way that you would. This frees up your time because you can walk away confident in the knowledge that the end result will be flawless. You don’t need to keep watch over your meal as it cooks.

Not just intelligent, the rice cookers also feature a lightweight, contemporary design and are easy to clean and store, making either model a very handy addition to any kitchen.
