Has anybody else seen the new Panasonic washing machines. A client of mine showed me the advert in a copy of better homes than yours this morning, just had a look on the Panasonic website and I must say I do like the look of them. There are three models, boasting such features as brushless motors, tilted drums and invertor technology to name but a few. What do you think?

Regards

Rich

Wow there really nice! I'd heard on UKwhitegoods that they were making them! Bet they'll come with a pricetag!

They look really cool, I wonder if they're made in Malaysia like the rest of Panasonics stuff these days, or if it's China? If they have the feel of quality most Panasonic stuff does they should be impressive units.

The seem well equipped and almost look like the door is attached to the outer tub ala Asko.

I got a chuckle at their 7kg capacity with a 55L drum, my Miele with around the same size drum is rated at 5.5kg :)

But...

...did you look at the water consumption?

45 litres....

When Haier introduced the 1260 here as a 5 'star' water rating machine, it claimed it used only 39 litres per load and was found to be one of the worst rinsing machines choice had ever tested....now they have released the 1270, dropped a 'star' back to 4, and use more water. My guess is that the machine failed the rinse test that it has to pass to get a rating label.

While I am not trying to compare Panasonic quality of manufacture with Haier, pound to a penny the Panasonic won't get a very good rinse score when tested...
